"Jake. What do you want from me?"

"Oh, I don't get no hi baby or what's up or anything sweet like that?" He said with the most sly smirk.

"I stopped being sweet to you when you
dumped me for her."

"Her? Oh right you thought that I liked Allison when really I didn't, I loved you."

"You expect me to believe your twisted shit!" I spit on the floor next to he black shoes. Which I was curious about because he was awfully dressed up for kidnapping.
"Oh Cemantha," he put his hand up to my face and I looked away," how I missed you,But you didn't care enough about me to miss me. Instead you went to live him." A live video of Mikey went up on the wall.

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HIM YOU ASSHOLE! First of all, I met you before him. Secondly, you left me, and third you just pretended to love me. I thought you were never going to hurt me."

"You know we weren't going to live happily ever after. So much hope for such a small mind."

I rolled my eyes,"We were in 8th grade what did you think I was going to think would happen? You were supposed to pick me up! And you didn't and you got yourself punched in the face and hurt and I tried to warn you while we were together. Mikey wasn't the one who broke me you were, Cory was, My mom was. But he," I pointed to Mikey," he didn't do anything wrong. He said some hurtful things yes but he didn't leave me! Like you, my mom, brother, Cory! You all broke me."

"What did your brother do?"

"He left me just like you and my mom and Cory! He left me he wasn't supposed to die! He wasn't supposed to go into the army! He wasn't supposed to go back and if I would have not told him to leave he might still be alive. It's all my fault but he made those decisions."

"I didn't know, I'm sorry."

"No you're not you don't give two shits." I look up at him in his eyes, he looked devastated,"He may have been your friend but he was my brother and I loved him and I never got to say goodbye. You took that away from me and put me in a damn hospital!"
I looked down to my now tear-soaked shirt. I didn't want to think about Tyler but he was my best friend and he's dead and can't do anything about it. My god he's dead he's fucking dead. I brought my knees to my chest.
"Can you go now, please." I looked away from Jake.

He undid the chains on my wrist with a metal key but there still was a latch around my stomach. I heard him walk out I started crying heavily. I heard him open the door and he slid a bowl across the floor. I looked at it for a second then heard his voice.

"Eat. It's your favorite."
I looked at the bowl it was a bowl of macaroni, milk, and butter. I ate the food slid the bowl to about the middle of the room where Jake had walked to earlier. I put my head against the wall and closed my eyes.

"Oh Mikey, where are you."

~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile~~~~~~~~~

Mikey's P.O.V:
Something didn't feel right. I saw the digital clock on the coffee table beside me it read 4:30. I turned toward Cemantha and I went to put my arm around her and pull her close but she wasn't there. I sat up the bathroom light wasn't on so she wasn't there. I got up and put on pants and ran toward the closet I ripped open the door and threw the hangers on the floor. I decided maybe she's outside.

I walked out and looked around. What the fuck!? I ran the fingers through my hair I went to Makenna's door and banged my fist against the door a few times.
Carson opened the door, " what's wro-" I pushed him aside and started going through their room.
" Mikey what the fuck are you doing? It's 4:30 what are you-" Makenna started.

"Where is she? WHERE IS SHE!?" I screamed. With that Mr. Baitz walked in.

"What the hell is going on." I walked out and sat on the curb of the empty parking spot." She's g-gone." My eyes started tearing up," I can't do this without her. WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE!"  Mr. Baitz sat down beside me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I couldn't keep it in anymore. I had to let my tears out, and Baitz is the closest to a dad I have ever had in my life since,John (actual dad) left.

"It's okay son. Everything is going to be okay." He had both his hands around me and my head was in his chest. I was crying so much. I couldn't stop, I love her I need her. Where is she?

I heard a phone ring
"Uh Mikey..." I heard Carson's voice crack a little.," it's for you."
I got up and took the phone.
"Hello?"
"So you are the Mikey that I've been hearing about."
"Who is this?"
"Don't you mean to say where is she or why did you take her or-"
"Jake. Where is she?"
"So she talked about me I see... she must still love me!"
"I do not! Mikey I love you!" I heard a dry crying voice.
"DON'T YOU DARE HURT HER, I SWEAR WHOEVER YOU ARE IF YOU LAY ONE FINGER ON HER I WILL PUT YOU IN A SIX FOOT DITCH MYSELF!"
"Just turn on the tv on to channel six and we'll see." He hung up.

I ran to my room grabbed my remote and turned my tv onto channel six like he said. I don't know why he wanted me to do it but I did.

It was all static for a while then I saw his face. He was a fair skinned guy with spiked dirty blonde hair. He had blue eyes and a dart speckle in his left eye. It was him. When Ce told me about him she showed me a picture when they were together at the movies and he had his arm around her. I hated that damn picture but it didn't matter she was mine.

"Well what do you think, doesn't she look beautiful?"

Cemantha's P.O.V:
Before Jake called Mikey he made me put on a tight little red dress with lace down the sides. I hated showing my body and he knew that, but he didn't care. You could almost see my scars on my thighs but not quite. I was sitting on my knees with my hands tied behind me against a cold metal pole. We had to go to some stupid banquet of his.

I saw Makenna, Carson, Mr. Baitz, and then Mikey. I tried to untie myself and go to them some part of my thought maybe just maybe I could run through the screen and be with Mikey. The other part of me said that, that would not be able to happen. Then to be honest a tiny  part of me said that this was all a set up and Mikey didn't really care about me and he wasn't looking for me, but I tried to keep that out of my head.

I was crying and I was try to deny every time Jake had hinted or said that I liked him. Mikey knew that I was only after him though. He knew that I would never be with someone like Jake ever again.

Mikey screamed at Jake when he saw a bandage on my shoulder from Jake's knife but he didn't care, if you would look into his eyes he was so emotionless kinda like how Mikey was before we were together. I hope nothing happens to Mikey, it'll be all my fault.

"I'll give'r back when we are done at my banquet. Meet me at the Retro Cinema on Cherry St. at 10. No later or," Jake pointed at me with a knife,"she gets it." He ended the video call and came over toward me.
"Are you ready, babe?"
I glared at him,"Don't call me that! I am nothing to you but a toy."
"Easy Princess, the more you complain the longer the night will get a the shorter of a chance to see him you'll have."
I rolled my eyes and he undid all of my laches.
"Shall we."

At the Banquet I saw mean looking people, celebrities, and wanted people. I didn't realize it at first but Jake is in a gang. Something changed in him, I don't know why, how, Who, or what but he's not the way he used to be. As we were walking around I saw that he acted differently around the people we were with. This one guy was from Texas and had a really strong country accent, when Jake talked he used the same accent. I wondered why but I honestly didn't care.

I looked at the huge fancy clock only and hour left until I see Mikey, "Thank you,"I said to the bartender as I sat down on a comfy lounge couch next to some body that look just like the guy who was on the Friends television show. I didn't want to say anything because I just wanted to get out of here.

  Jake took my hand and said," Now David, you not trying to take my girlfriend are you?"

"Haha, no and that's Mr. David Schwimmer to you, Austin."

"Haha you crack me up, David." I looked at Jake very confused. What the hell? Who the hell is Austin?

"Are you staying for the dinner, Austin?"

"Ah, no sir, my girlfriend and I are going out to eat. It's out two year anniversary."

I just wanted to get out of here so I did something I never thought I'd do.
"He's taking me to a fancy Restaurant down on the Boardwalk in town." I said after a kissed his cheek and snuggled into his chest. He hesitated but then put his arm around my waist.
"Awe, how cute you two are. Well I'll see you later Austin, duties call." All of us looked over to this older lady waving in David's direction.

He left and "Austin" looked up at the clock, "time flys when your a kidnapper." He kissed my forehead and took my hand. We walked out of the building and Jakes car pulled up.
  We got in and I soon as he shut the door," So Austin," I said in a country accent like the one guy he was talking to,"Are y'all hungry." He looked at me and started laughing. "Well hello there mate, a matter of fact I am, Cris."  He said like he lived in the U.K.
"So why did they call you different names and why did you talk differently around different people, and can we get food?"
Jake chuckled a little, "when we get food I'll answer any questions you have." I threw on Mikey's sweatshirt that I was wearing before I changed into this stupid dress and put on shorts in the back of his car. I climbed back over the seat and as I did I kicked Jake in the back of the head. "Oops." I giggled.
Jake looked at me like I just killed his pet. "Ow."
I laughed out load this time and put my head in my hand and leaned against the window.

We were in the fast food restaurant that we stopped at.
"So."
"So what?"
"Answer my questions!"
He sighed,"okay I act differently around different people because I don't like people knowing my past and if I use a fake name know one knows. No one knows the real me and my past. No one knows that I spent the night at your house or that I almost got some girl pregnant or I sent someone into the hospital after they tried to kill them self's." He looked me in the eyes and grabbed my hand. "I'm sorry. I just wanted you to know to stay away and that's why I took you. So now you know that I've changed and that I'm dangerous and that I can be with you or there for you anymore."

I almost started to cry until the waitress came over and asked if we were done. "Yeah, we are. Thank you."
He paid the bill and we got back into his car. "Are you ready?"
"Yea."

We got to the Cinema and Mikey was already there. I ran out of Jake's car and ran to Mikey. It was like out of a movie I jumped into his arms and wrapped my legs around his waist as he spun me around. I kissed all over his neck and we both were crying.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt? Did he touch you?"
"I'm fine. I'm fine." I kissed him like he left for war and then came back years later, it was one of those kisses that I thought would last forever.
I turned to look at Jake but his car was gone. All that was left was a suit case where his car was at.

Mikey held my hand tight, and tugged on it. "Let me go for one second I'll be right back."
He looked at me worriedly and then let go hesitantly.

I walked 10 feet away and sat on my knees. I looked at the old fashioned bag, I clicked the latches and it popped open. That damn red dress...I picked it up and out of the bag a note fell out. It read,

You looked good for a girl that just got kidnapped. I'm sorry again, I wish I knew about your brother, I wish I wouldn't had left you and changed but honestly I just was looking for a friendship. That's why I stopped you that night I didn't want you to go through more than you needed to. And you were right, I would never be a good father I couldn't take care of my self let alone you and the baby. I could stand for you to find out about me but I still loved you as I always will. So that means it's time to say goodbye because one day I'm gonna be gone and I don't want you caught up in it. I don't want you to worry this'll be all over soon. Have a nice life and take care of yourself.
The one the only Jake. (He used to sign everything in grade school that way)
P.s tell that bf of urs to lay off a little and live in the moment because you only have one life to fill will forever memories.

I smiled put the dress and the note back in the bag, turned around and walked back over to Mikey.

"So...what's in there?"

"A surprise." I told myself not to look back but I couldn't.

"Let's go home." Said Dr. Baitz

~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Day~~~~~~~~~~

Mikey's P.O.V

I was in bed and everything was silent except the quiet sound of the tv in the other room. I didn't know she was up, she probably couldn't have slept. I pulled the blankets off of me then sat on the edge of the bed. I rubbed my eyes then I heard a dish shatter on the ground and her scream,"NOOOOOO!" Then I heard another thud.

I ran out to her,"Baby what's wrong?!" She was on the floor next to the shattered white dish, shaking heavily and bawling. Her shaking hand point to the kitchen tv.

Newsman1: I repeat breaking news! Paige Ravin found her beloved son dead in her outside green house with a gun shot in his left side chest.

Newsman2: Police say that he put up a fight though and this was just after the Queens Gala that him and a friend were at. Police are saying nothing further.

It hurt. To see her cry, to see her upset. Especially about another guy. Put I turned it off and pulled her head over into my chest rocking her back and forth. So that she could clam down but she was fine for awhile then something must have clicked in her head and she kicked the bottom sink door and start bawling heavily again. I kept rocking her back and forth and saying "shhhh-" like a baby.

About three hours later she took a bubble bath to calm herself down. About ten minutes into her bath I knocked on the door and asked if she needed any company. I heard a small "sure" and walked in. She had her eyes closed and I took a strand of hair and pushed it back. A tear fell,"god it hurts!"
"I know baby, I know."
"No it burns when I cry! And it hurts! It hurts so fucking much."

I pulled her head toward me in a gentle way and kissed the bun of hair on her head. I went to leave but she tugged a little on my pants. "Will you join me."

I have her a little smile and took everything but my underwear off. Then she did something that I never saw her do she sat up to let me in behind her but she didn't cover her self like she normally would to act all shy. I just thought it was because she just wanted me to hold her no questions asked. I got in and she sat in between my legs on her side. I took her hair out and watched it cascade down.

"What would you do if I died?"
Since the room was full of silence for awhile that question really caught me off guard.
"What do you mean?"

"What would you do?"

"I'd do three things: cry, get pissed, then kill myself just so I could see your beautiful face forever."
She looked up at me and cried a little. She kissed my stomach and chest and then my lips. And then she said she tired. So she went into the bedroom from the bathrooms and I drained the water in the tub, ran down stairs to get drink and cleaned up the plate. I put on fresh clothes and snuggled into bed with her and held her tight. It was  gonna be one of those stay inside all day type of days.

I pulled her even closer into my chest,"I promise everything will be okay. I love you."
"I love you too, baby" she kissed my cheek and fell asleep in my arms.

"Please, please don't leave me." I kissed her beautiful for-head and we went back into a deep sleep.
