In Love with a Kidnapper - Episode 17

~Nathan’s Point of View~
You know, being saved by Jake once was torture enough. But now, being saved by him again he was defiantly dancing on my last nerves. Along with Sharon, who happened to be aiming for a mans “pride and joy”. I slid backwards with Kim in my arms and legs open where the knife was a few inches between them. I glared at knife for a brief second.
“Share.. I know you hate me that much… but I need these to get Kim pregnant,”I joked. Sharon’s eyes flickered with rage as I said that.
“What did you say?!” Jake said irritated at my joke.
“Nothing~” I smiled. “Now get Kim out of here. Use the car that’s smashed in the iron gate and drive out of here.” I said as I took off my shirt and put it on Kim before handing her to Jake. I didn’t want him to look at whats rightfully mine.
“But, theres a guy unconscious in the drivers seat,”
“So throw him out,”
“Isn’t he your comrade?”
“Correction, hes my demon brother,”
Jake bolted out the door with Kim without saying anything else. Now it was just me, the knife between my legs and crazy Sharon. I pulled the knife out from the ground and held it tightly, without the knife in Sharon’s hands she can’t be THAT dangerous…oh so I thought.
She pulled out a gun from behind her back and pointed it at me

. I dropped the knife and raised my hands in surrender.
“This wouldn’t have happened if you left us Nathan,”
“This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t left Cole,”
Sharon flinched at that comment, making her remember unpleasant memories. I stalled her but also making her pissed which could make her pull the trigger any minute.
“Don’t bring this up that its all my fault, its all HIS,” She scoffed swinging the gun and walking closer up to me until the gun was pressed against my chest.
“Don’t say that Share, drop the gun,” said a familiar dirty blonde boy sitting on the window ledge with one hand on the side of window and the other hand pointing a gun at Sharon. His light blue eyes shimmering with pity.
“Collin…” Sharon whispered as she turned around to face Cole. Quickly I whipped the gun away from Sharons hands and backed a few feet from her. I was now armed, she was weaponless and too distracted to even know that I took the gun away from her.
“Man, I haven’t heard that name in years,” Cole said with a faint smile.
Cole jumped down from the ledge and started moving towards Sharon, with the gun still pointing straight at her. Her high heels clicked as she started to back away into the wall to the point where Cole and Sharons bodies touched. Cole lowered the gun and tossed it towards me.
The next part was expected, they jumped into each others arms like departed lovers would do. Coles face was no longer tense in coming back to our hometown instead grateful that he did. I picked up the gun and left to go outside to leave the lovers alone.
~Jakes Point of View~
I carried Kim outside and put her in the passenger seat. Looking at the unconscious black belt body builder master made me wonder if I was even able to pick him up and leave him on the side. I may be strong in fights but scrawny in the bones to carry men. Even when carrying Kim, it was hard work. I unbuckled Daniels seat belt and tried to pick him up, of course I failed. I tumbled onto the ground with Daniels bloody unconscious body on top of me.
“Damn it,” I groaned trying to push his body off me. Wasn’t working.
I felt a small vibration on my right thigh. His cell phone was ringing. I wriggled my hands to his pocket and got his cell. The caller I.D said Peter.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Daniel-Where are you?! And where’s my ca- Wait.. whose this?”
“Uh… Daniel is on top of me right now… Do you-”
“WHO THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU SLU! GET AWAY FROM MY DANIEL!”
“What?!Wait! I need your help can you come to-“I got interrupted by the dialing tone.. He hung up on me. So much for his help. What am I suppose to do now. Kim is somewhat dead in the passenger seat, this Daniel guy is unconscious on top of me.. and his lover abandoned the call. I really gotta work on my wording.
-a few minutes later –
A white Toyota FT HS hybrid pulled near us. Oh finally some help. A black haired boy with grey eyes walked out of it, panting as if he rushed his way here… in a car. He wore a white dress shirt that was halfway done and black designer jeans.
“Oh My God! Are you okay?!” He freaked running towards us.
“Yeah I’m fi-”
” Not you!” He said in an irritated tone. He pulled up Daniel and supported him with one shoulder as he dragged him to his car. He looked back at me, after placing Daniel into the passenger seat. He then went towards me.
“Tell me, What did you do to Dan- WHAT THE FUCK MY CAR!” He freaked the moment he FINALLY noticed the car smashed into the gate scene… I don’t know how you miss that…
Nathan suddenly came running towards us with two guns in his hands. Great timing.
“Pe-Peter.. what are you doing here?” Nathan stuttered when he arrived at the scene.
“Wait… thats Peter?!” I said looking at the phone.
“Nathan wanna explain to me WHAT IS GOING ON!?” He said in rage.
“Uh…” Nathan replied as he stupidly tried to hide the guns behind his back. He then looked at me.
“I thought I told you to get Kim out of here, not call Daniels Lover.”
“Kim’s here too now?!” Peter said. He then looked at the car. “Okay tell me what’s going on or I call the police,”
“Really? You REALLY need to do that?” Nathan sighed. “Haven’t you thought that you might get Daniel in trouble as well?”
Peter held his breath.
“Okay. Lets just get out of here first before any of the neighbours start wondering why there’s a car smashed in an iron gate, an unconscious girl that’s nearly naked in the passengers seat, and an unconscious guy in the vehicle we’re going to escape in.”
“Oh no, you are not going ANYWHERE in my car,”
“Technically its Aunts Marie’s car. So we are going, ” Nathan smiled pointing at Peters smashed car. He flinched looking back at his car.
“Lets go before I change my mind,” He groaned.
~Cole’s Point of View~
I honestly didn’t think that Sharon lips would be pressing onto mine when I came back to hometown. I brings back so many memories…
-Cole’s flashback –
“Collin~ Guess who?” A familiar voice said as she covered my eyes. Only she would call me that.
“My angel, who else?” I smiled and lifting her hands away from my eyes. I spun around, and kissed Sharon- my girlfriend on the lips.
“Gay corny line,” Nathan laughed.
“Shut up Nathan, and go kiss up to Lucy. When you gonna stop pretending to be cold hearted and accept Lucy’s feelings already. You know its her birthday today. On Valentines day,that means you gotta be EXTRA romantic. Good Luck with that,” Cole sneered.
“Shut up, I’ll do what I want in my own pace. I can’t stand girls going all gaga on me especially on valentines day.”
“Someones confident of their good looks,” Sharon laughed.
“Says the one who use to give me random valentines cards two years ago,” Nathan shot back. I stiffened. Sharon DID have a crush on Nathan.
“Bleh~ that was before I knew what you were,” Sharon teased sticking out her tongue at me. Sharon wrapped her arms around me from behind. “Then I met Collin. Which made me realize my biggest mistake of my life to be crushing on you back then,”
“Ouch,” Nathan laughed. He looked at his cellphone. “Well I gotta go be a romantic prince for my princess,” He winked and left.
“So Collin, about our plans for our date tonight…”Sharon said as she walked around to face me.
I smiled, ” I’ll pick you up at seven. Be at the corner near your house,” I winked. She seemed to give a small flinch but then smiled. I ignored the flinch and put my hand around her neck and pulled her towards me where our lips touch. Now to get that present.
I looked back at my watch it was already six fifty. Where was she? I’m going to be late for my date with Sharon, if she didn’t show up.
“Cole!” a voice called. I turned, my friend came running towards me. “Sorry I’m late. Here’s the ring!”
“Thanks so much, Gwen. It must have been a lot of trouble trying to getting it, especially getting it specialized and all,” I smiled.
“No problem at all!”
“Do you think it would fit her? The worst thing possible is giving a promise ring and the ring doesn’t fit,” I chuckled.
“Well that’s why I’m here right? I have the finger size as her, lets try it. My hands are numb that I can’t put it on myself. Wanna help?”
“Alright, last thing I want is you struggling putting on the ring and getting it stuck or even dropping it into the sewer.. or getting it run over by a car.. or-”
“Do you have to be that over exaggerated about things?”
“Yes, Yes I do. Now give me your hands.”
She put out her long red fingers out and handed the box in the other hand. I grabbed her hand and pulled her close as I put the ring on her finger. It was perfect fit. I smiled in delight. How Sharon would react to this.
“Okay now take it off, this feels awkward. If Jason finds out about this he’ll kick your ass you know,” She smiled being proud of her boyfriend.
“Oh please, you know he will lose,” I paused looking at the time. “Oh shit?! Its seven oh five?! I’m late! Thanks Gwen for everything. I owe you one.”
“No problem,”
I turned and yelled, ” Sharon I’m coming for you my angel!”
Gwen laughed. ” That was the corniest line I ever heard.”
As I turned to the corner, I felt like I was being watched. It reminded me of those movies where I’m in an empty street and there’s no one around but you still feel like being watched. I looked around, there was no one. I sighed. Maybe I’m watching to many horror movies with Sharon that its causing me to freak out. I waited at the bus stop, sometimes I wish I could borrow Daniels car. I’m almost old enough to drive… I could hear Daniels voice in my head saying ” Not a chance.”
I felt a bit pathetic picking up my girlfriend in a bus. I looked at the time, it was seven thirthy. Great I’m going on a bus and late to pick up my girlfriend. What else could go wrong?
~Sharon’s Point a View (in the flashback)~
I looked back at my cell, it was seven oh five. I sighed, maybe it was a bad idea to come early and wait in the freezing cold. Then again isn’t the guy suppose to be there early? I suddenly got a call from Lucy.
“Hey Lucy, whats up?” I answered.
“Share.. I think Cole is cheating on you…”
“What? What makes you think you can say that?Aren’t you suppose to be with Nathan. Not spying on my boyfriend,”
“Nathan IS with me, we went to go to the bakery nearby we saw Cole holding hands with this girl in my class. I really don’t know who she is though, shes a nerd so I don’t talk to her. He even put a ring on her finger.” My heart completely sank. Its true that Cole has been talking to some girl over the past few days and sometimes skips out on our dates and even phone calls.
“Aren’t you sure he was just helping her?”
“Why are you taking his side, Share! Look we fully saw it and even Nathan. Here Nathan talk to her!”
I heard the phone rustle and then Nathans voice appeared.
“Um.. I really don’t want to be involved in this drama. But I really don’t think Cole is like that..” I heard a slap on the other end with Lucy’s voice saying, “You idiot you just saw what happened!” Nathans voice came back on the phone.
“What I do know is that Cole has been leaving the house to go meet up with someone I figured it would be you,” Nathan sighed and Lucy’s voice appeared.
“Share, I think its best if you just ditch the date and go home,”
By now the tears where already flowing, I know Lucy can over react in whatever she sees, but when Nathan told me the facts about us meeting it wasn’t even true, I wasn’t able to meet up with Cole for two weeks.
“Share?Sharon? You okay?” Lucy voice still on the other line.
“..Yeah.. I’m heading home now,”I sniffled.
“Aww, Share don’t cry over that je-” Lucy voice got cut off because I hung up on her. I didn’t want sympathy or pity. I just wanted to be alone. My phone vibrated again from Lucy. She was gonna keep calling until I pick up. She was a great friend and all but I really didn’t want to talk to her. I took out the battery from my call and threw it away.
Hopefully I didn’t ruin Lucy’s and Nathans date because of this. I sighed as i leaned on the iron gate of a house. If I head home, I might run into them and go into a whole sympathy party where I’ll just start crying for hours. I suddenly paused to see where I was going. Great I got lost because of the news. I was unfamiliar with the road. I sighed and slumped down the iron gate which was a bad idea because the gate slid open making me fall backwards.
I got up hoping no one saw that but sadly people did. Ahead of me there was three guys a few years older than me coming towards me. I started backing away hoping maybe I could run, but instead I backed away into another guy blocking the gate.
“Look what we got here,” The one with the blue sweater smirked.
“A crying girl alone in the street falls into our yard,” the other one with the Green hate laughed.
“We got just the solution to fix that,” the one behind me said as he grabbed my arms as the others grabbed my legs. I scrambled trying to scream out for help but all they did was laugh. Suddenly a brown bag was put over me and I was starting to lose consciousness. I was inhaling something so foul and awful but at the same time made my body light. Collin… This is all your fault…
Over the past days I’ve been avoiding the calls from Cole, his letters and even his physical self. It was hurting me to avoid him, but it was all his fault what had happened. Everyday I would go back to that house and smell that burnt bag. I know it was wrong but at the same time, I couldn’t help it. It was like a drug and I kept going back to it. I was able to stand and walk around instead of almost being unconscious. I soon got the title of being the Pro. Of course I started avoiding Nathan and Cole even Lucy into this. But, then Nathan approached me telling me all about how Cole is mad depressed? What I do? I invited him to the happy house and soon he became a Pro like me.
-end of flashback-
~Coles Point of View~
I had to tell her now, of that misunderstanding. It was my fault that she is still like this and I abandoned her when she was in need. I held her close.
“Sharon..” I said as I pulled her back to see her face. She was already crying. I swept my hand under her chin and lifted it up so we our eyes would me. I stared at her for a while.
“What..? Is there something on my face?” She said shyly looking away but I pulled her head back to face me.
“Yeah, In your eyes…What do u see?”
“You,” she replied. I smiled and pulled her in to give her a kiss. As we kept kissing repetitively I slid something onto her finger, a ring. The ring that i was suppose to give to her on that day.
“I love you, Sharon. Please let me tell you what happend on that day,”
~Nathans Point of View~
Kim’s skin was getting colder and colder and her breathing was getting more rapid.
“Drive faster,” I yelled at Peter.
“What do you think I’m doing, your not the only one who wants to rush to the hospital,”
“Oh please, all you want is Daniel taken care of. He just suffered minor injuries when I crashed the car into the gate.”
“YOU crashed MY car and injured MY DANIEL!?” Peter exclaimed.
“Heh… Opps?” I chuckled. I could tell Peter was overly pissed now, he was clenching the wheel to go faster.
“When this is all over, your going to get one hell of a torture from me and Daniel,” Peter hissed.
I sighed. I looked back at Kim, that is… IF Kim will make it alive…
I pulled my hand towards her neck, Her pulse was starting to slow down now to the point where she was nearly breathing.
“Peter. Step on it,”
