"Do you want to see your sister or not?" He whispers into my ear as I put my books into my locker. I closed my pale blue locker. I look around to see the last couple of students walk out of the building. I turn wanting to follow the other students, but don't turn to him. "How important is she to you?" My eyes widened a bit. "You would do anything to protect her, right?" He moved closer to me, his mouth was about one centimeter away from my ear. I smelled his disgusting breath. It smelled like mixture of onions and sour cream. "Haley, do it for your sister."
"Where is she?" I gave in to his words. My sister is the most important thing to me, always has and always will.
"I'll tell you soon." His freezing hands touching my skin caused my arms to shake. He was cold inside and out. "So how about it, Haley? Will you go out with me?"
"I want my sister back." I whispered back to him.
"And you will get her back, if you go out with me." His chin rested on my shoulder. "I'll pick you up at seven." The chill went away. I question myself. Why me? Out of everyone why me?
~~~~~Time Charge~~~~~
A blue and white colored car was in front of my house. The lights on the roof of the car were turned off. The cop cars were still in front. As I was opening the door my phone rang. It was a text message.
Brandon:
Don't tell anyone what I told you today.
Or else
Delete this message.
I did what I was told. If I told anyone, I knew he would hurt my sister.
"Haley, I would like to ask you a few questions. Are you okay with that?" A police officer asked as he walked out of the kitchen, where my mom was.
"Yeah sure" We walked into the living room. My dad was at work. How could he work at a time like this? He should be looking for my sister, or helping in some way.
"Do you know if your sister had a boyfriend?" The boyfriend is always the second suspect in an investigation involving a female.
"No, she didn't have a boyfriend." My sister was single since last year, she didn't like speeding things up. We both liked things as they were.
"How about an ex-boyfriend?" He's on the right path, asking if there could be a male involved.
"What does this have to do with anything? Her ex-boyfriends are none of your business." They're asking as if she's a slut, but she's not.
"Haley, please calm down." He said in a calm voice. "It's possible her ex-boyfriend could have something to do with this." I took a breath and cooled down. Just do it, I quoted Nike to myself.
"She has a few." The officer gave me a note pad with yellow paper and a plain black pen.
"Write down their first and last names." My handwriting was different. My hand was still shaking. It wasn't just because I was scared ,but because I was writing his name. I was telling anyone about today but I was giving them hints.
I handed back the pen and note pad. "Do you know where your sister might be? Any place she liked to go?" That's one of the things people assume when I teen goes missing.
"You think my sister ran away?!" The anger within me kept building up. "My sister is a straight A student, she's very successful and she's a cheerful person. She wouldn't run away. I know she wouldn't." The officer was about to protest, but didn't.
"I think we're done for the day." He said. "We'll find Heather, just give us time." Time is what everybody uses. Some people use it wisely and some people waste it. In this case, they're wasting it.
~~~~~Time Change~~~~~
A silver BMW parked in front of my house. I looked at the clock. It's seven at night. Ding! The doorbell rang. I grabbed my phone and sweater. I opened the door and there Brandon was. He was wearing black jeans and a red shirt.
"Let's go." He held out his hand. Did he actually expect me to hold his hand? He forced me to go out with him. I refused to hold his hand. I just walked to the car and sat in the passenger seat. After a few seconds of silence, he got into the driver's see. He started the car and we were on our way.
The outside of the car, looked nothing like the inside. Being in his car, wasn't the best feeling. The sun was setting, the light in the vehicle was disappearing. It only made me more tense.
"Where are we going?" He hadn't said anything since that text message he sent me.
"You'll see." What was he planning? This wasn't going be a regular date, if this is even considered a date.
"Where are we going?" I raised my voice. I needed in answer. I didn't want to put myself in more danger than I already have.
"Don't trust me, huh?" He has some guts, acting casual about this.
"No." My temper didn't change. Everyword from him was irritating to me.
"How could you not trust your own boyfriend?" His sarcastic words, did change my temper, making it worst.
"How could you kidnap my sister?" I questioned him back. He's not my boyfriend, but she is my sister.
"Well, if I hadn't, we wouldn't be here." I would like that outcome. Anywhere is better than here.
"Why couldn't you just ask me out like a normal person would?" Nobody ever wants to go through this. If anyone did, it's because they don't know what it's like. No one knows or will ever know the fear, the pain and the position that I'm in.
"You would've just turned me down." He said. I did turn down a lot of guys, but he could've just accepted a no, right?
"We're here." He parked in front of a Chinese restaurant. We walked in and a waiter seated us. We sat at a table near a window, with the view of a lake. I order American Chinese food, Orange Chicken with an egg roll. When I got my plate, I just picked at it. I had lost my appetite. I looked up from my plate and saw Brandon eating. He was enjoying this moment.
I looked out the window. The lake was still. The moon reflected on the water. It's very exquisite, I hope this isn't the last time I see this. The trees near the lake had pink and white flowers. This place is astounding.
"So you're not going to eat?" Brandon asked. I shake my head. "Eat, you'll see Heather. Don't eat, you won't see her."
I picked up my fork and started eating. The taste was brackish, nothing like how I remembered. Everything was different to me.
A smile came upon Brandon's face. "So you would do anything to see her." His smile turned into an evil smirk." I wonder what you would do for me to let her go." I stopped eating, whipped my mouth with a napkin, and placed it neatly on the table.
"I'm done eating, let me see her." My sister is my first priority. I would do many things for her, but I don't know where my limits lie.
"Let's go then." We got up; Brandon went to the cashier and paid while I stood outside waiting for him. It had turned to night and I didn't know where I was.
There was a small breeze that pulled my hair back. I looked around and saw a guy with black, straight hair covering half of his eye. He was looking at me. I looked away from him and looked at the stars.
All of the sudden, Brandon came speed walking, grabbing my right arm as if it was a stress ball.
"Hey! You're hurting me!" We were now next to the car. "What was that for?" I rubbed my arm.
"That guy was checking you out." He replied in a jealous voice.
"So what? I wasn't even talking to him." I rolled my eyes. He grabbed me and slammed me on the car. His arm was on my neck.
It felt like ice as it closed the circulation to my lungs. The look of enjoyment in his eyes terrified me as he pressed harder and harder. My heart was racing in fear, I could feel my breath slowing down. I fought back instinctively terrified about whether or not I would have a future. My nails dug into his skin but he was unyielding. As my lungs began to burn from lack of air I reached for his face and felt my nails once again connect with his flesh. His blood splashed on my face as I felt myself weaken. Why was he doing this what had I done? Where my thoughts as I felt tears either from frustration or pure terror stream from my eyes.
At last, he lets go.
"Watch what you're saying and what you do. I can easily kill you right now, but since I'm in love with you, I'd rather have more fun with you." It took a while to catch my breath. We got into the car, he threw the cloth onto my lap and with a vicious voice, he told me to put it on. I quickly figured out why... Heather...
