Cherreads

Chapter 13 - Taken

The weekend slowly approaches, I haven't really seen Addy since our date . He must be very busy. He does send me cute good morning and good night messages but that's about it. We had the funeral for Caleb's father yesterday . He read his the eulogy and his mother and I were in tears . I need to do something for Caleb soon to cheer him up, I'm unsure how to handle this situation considering I'm an orphan. I never got to mourn the parents I never knew. Maybe if I do wind up with Addy I could actually have a family. I've always wanted one . I've been thinking about him a lot since our date . I feel a lot closer then were before. I hate feeling pressured to make such a big decision though. Caleb was right when he said everything is in my favor. I really don't have much to lose.

My phone lights up from a text message from an unknown number . I unlock my phone and read my message:

We need to talk Aurora. You better respond or I'm coming to you?!

FUCK! How did he get my number ?! I thought I ran far enough away . This can't be happening.

I will find you.

I need to change my number and I leave again. I really don't want to though. Im so screwed. I text Addy:

Hey babe could I see you after work today? I really miss you.

He messages me back: I'm going to be done a little late today. I'll meet you at your house.

Everything will ok, hopefully .

I get to my apartment hours later my nerves on edge. Hopefully Addison will be here soon . I feel on edge . I walk in close and lock the door behind me. I reach for the light switch for my bedroom, I can sense someone . I back away and close the door . I quickly dial Addison and go to walk to the kitchen when I hear my bedroom door open and the sound of a gun safety click off. I put my phone in my pocket lowering the volume so the call can process. I raise my hands and away towards my kitchen . Elias stands in front of me gun pointed. He smiles at me, "I thought I told you to respond." I don't answer. "You thought you could escape ? No one gave you permission to leave. You were guna make us a pretty penny with the next delivery." I keep backing up into the kitchen . If I can just make it to my sharp knives. "Stop where you are," Elias says as I was walking past my kitchen chairs and table. He comes closer , "make another drop for me. I'll make it your last one if you keep the client company. He specifically asked for you. You know that mob boss that will only do business for you. You lost lost us a lot of money."

"Elias put the gun down u act like I'm armed. We can talk this through."

He is finally in front of me and slaps me so hard I fall into the table. He corners me against pushing my head into the metal table. "Maybe I'll just sell you to Mr.Farrera." He starts feeling me up when he seems my phone and takes it. Shit! "Oh so you have someone listening to our conversation. I guess your coming with me." He smashes my phone and I feel him slip a zip tie on my wrist and drags me to the door. He checks the hallway and drags me to the parking garage and he shoves me into the trunk. I don't want to go back to my old life. I escaped for a reason. And if that monster gets ahold of me it's over I'll be a sex slave until he over doses me . I feel the car start and drive off. I knew this my current life was to good to be true.

Maybe I can still get out. He didn't tie my legs. I try to lower my arms to step through so I can have my hands in front of me. Takes me about 10 minutes but I finally achieve my goal so far. Now I know there's a emergency latch somewhere in trunks . I try to look around but it's so dark. I'm guessing we are on a highway with how fast the car feels . I start to feel around and finally feel it. I slowly release it trying to peak out. I was right and there is a car behind us. Do I take a leap out the trunk and possibly get hit but at least I escape . I'm going to have some nasty road rash. Fuck it I refuse to be a slave for anyone ever again. I let the trunk fly open and wave at the car behind us. I close my eyes and take my leap of faith.
