chapter 49: Kidnap and Confession
I heard the footsteps behind me become louder with each second. We couldn't run now, if Rapmonster's step dad knew he was here I don't know how he'd react.
I turned around slowly not surprised to see a tall muscular man with black hair and mean eyes staring at us.
"Jeon Jungkook" he said through a low scratchy voice.
Jungkook sighed. I finally figured out how they were all connected. Yoongi's dad was probably furious we put his son behind bars.
In a flash the huge man raised a gun to Jungkook's head. He grabbed Jungkook's arm and looked up at me. "Follow me if you want him alive."
I was in shock. I couldn't believe what was happening. I blinked hard and followed the man through the wall of bushes.
"Wha— what do you want with us?" I said shakily.
He glared at me then punched me with the butt of the gun causing my temple to gush dark burgandy.
"You dare ask a question? Look kid, since you're obviously not too bright, you're being kidnapped." He hissed.
My breath caught as I stared at him while wiping the warm liquid away from my eyes. The wound was immediately swelling and I had a headache that blurred my vision.
I stood to my feet and continued to follow him deep into the forest.
I wanted to ask him questions, but I couldn't risk passing out or harming Jungkook. I couldn't stand to see him so close to death, a gun's point digging into his temple. Tears mixed with blood stained my cheeks as I stumbled to keep up with him.
Jin would find us. I reassured myself. The man turned his head towards me. "Hurry up!" He spat.
He was beyond furious. I locked eyes with Jungkook. His face was streaked with worry. To my surprise he wasn't scared, and looking into his eyes I felt as if he was worried about me.
I sighed and followed them. Where were we going? We had already passed the man's campsite. It was pass lunch time and I heard Jin's faint calling Jungkook's and my name.
I wanted to scream so badly but I couldn't risk it. This guy was furious.
He stopped walking and turned around to me. "Sit down." He commanded.
I did exactly that along with Jungkook.
The man squatted down to our level.
I swallowed hard and cleared my throat "why did you bring us so far out?"
The man's face twisted in response and he grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him. I bit back tears. I knew I shouldn't have said anything. I wish I hadn't been so stupid.
I turned around and faced Jungkook still sitting on the ground worried.
"Run." I mouthed.
He shook his head. I knew he wouldn't move knowing I was about to get punished. But I wish he wouldn't worry about me and run to the camp to get help.
The man stopped moving and looked in Jungkook's direction. "If you run away I'll kill your girlfriend!" He yelled with a sickening smirk.
I swallowed hard as he dug his nails into my arm leading me to a busy area . There were small lines of blood running from my arm where his fingernails had sunken into my skin.
When he finally let go I couldn't help but to glare at him while rubbing my burning arm. I guess the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. Yoongi was just as bad.
I earned a kick in the stomach for the look I gave him. The wind had been knocked out of me making me concentrate on every breath to take in air.
I had been disrespectful by nature. I always fought with my mom because she acted like a drunk teenager and when she abandoned me I felt I shouldn't show people I'm weak, but only tuff. Sarcasm, rolling my eyes, and rude remarks were just apart of me.
The man pulled out a sharp knife making it even harder for me to breath.
"P—Please." I stutterd.
He frowned. "I'm going to cut that tongue right out of your face. And I'm going to cut the eyes out of your head. For disrespecting me, and putting my innocent son in jail. I would just kill you, but I want it to hurt."
I stared at him in disbelief. Was he actually planning on discarding Jungkook and I?
I was pleading in my head over and over again for Jin to find us.
The man pushed me onto my back and dug the knife into my side. Every inch of my body screamed and all the pain was centered in the gash.
I never knew it was possible to feel this much pain in my life.
I heard the man laugh and he started to walk back in Jungkook's direction. "Get up and follow me." He said.
I could barely breath as I felt a warm
blood begin to pool underneath my waist. I knew the knife didn't go deep enough to puncture any organs, but it was deep enough to kill me of bleeding out.
I looked at the army printed shirt Lisa had let me borrow now stained with my blood. It was sticking to my wound causing it to sting more.
I was crying hard now as I stumbled to my feet and slowly followed him. I grabbed on to the trees to help me walk when I made my way back to the man and Jungkook.
The man smiled at us and said "I'll be over at the river getting dinner. You two stay here. If you run, I kill you and all of your friends." He said gleefully walking away.
I stared at his back in disgust.
My hair was plastered to my head as my blood had dried on my forehead and my head was slightly swollen.
Jungkook rushed over to my side. "What did he do?" He asked "Are you hurt?"
I bit my lip in response to the throbbing pain in my side. I slowly showed him the huge red spot on my side.
Jungkook's eyes widened and got wet. I'd never seen him cry since Jhope almost died. He blinked hard causing the wetness in his eyes to disappear.
"Can you lift up your arms?" He asked.
I tried my best to lift it up as high as I could but no lie it hurt like crazy.
Jungkook gently peeled off the blood stained shirt.
"Jungkook." I said frowning embarrassed in my undershirt.
"You'll bleed out." He said concerned.
I nodded as he folded my shirt in such a way and tied it around my waist putting pressure on my wound.
"It hurts." I said gritting my teeth. The pressure on the wound and with my head in it's condition was making me feel like I was going to pass out.
Jungkook put his hand on my arm. "You can't April. You can't pass out, I don't know if you'd wake up." He said.
I nodded my head and focused on breathing. It was a challenge since my stomach was aching from the blow. I felt like it was clogged, I don't know with what but I felt like it was so hard to breath.
Rapmonster's step-dad finally came back. "So here's the deal kiddos. First you're going to stay with me for a little while, then when everyone knows you're missing I'm going to release you, but only for three million." My heart stopped beating "then I'm going to bail Yoongi out of jail."
I forced my face to suppress it's obvious signs of shock.
My stomach growled and Yoongi's dad made himself comfortable in the grass. He was far enough away from us that he couldn't hear us. Was this an opportunity to run? I then remembered my now numb wound and I knew I would be able to go no more than a couple feet.
The sun had set and darkness was beginning to take over the sky.
"What do we do Jungkook?" I said with fresh tears running down my face.
He thought for a second then wiped my tears. "I have a plan. But please don't cry. From now on I'll account for every tear you shed. I'll create a diversion."
I looked at him surprised forcing my tears to stop. "A diversion? Jungkook, you could get killed."
He nodded "I'll do something that will buy you a lot of time to walk away and find Jin. Even if Yoongi's dad knows where we are Jin made Rapmonster bring his hunting gun, he'll use that for protection and we'll call the police." He paused "and it's okay. If he kills me I have no regrets. Well, maybe one." He said looking off into the night.
"You're not going to die. And I'm not leaving you. And what do you mean maybe one?"
He sighed. "You just have to trust me April. And maybe I wish I could've done a better job protecting you."he said matter-a-factly.
I swallowed and stared into the night sky. "I'm sorry."
"Jhope was right. Even though we are in this bad situation, we are all looking at the same sky." He said attempting to cheer me up.
"I'm sorry for lying to you." I continued.
He broke his gaze from the sky and looked at me.
"I do like you Jungkook. And I did get upset about in the newspaper you'd kissed Amarisa. I thought.... I thought I liked Devon. But I keep thinking of things over and over and I know. I know I don't have feelings for him like I do for you."
The corners of Jungkook's lips were slowly rising with each word I struggled to say. "You don't know how bad I've been dying to hear that." He said
I couldn't understand how he could be smiling so big when we were in this situation.
I sighed. I knew this whole time deep down why it wouldn't work with Devon. I messed up with three guys now, and I really didn't want to mess up anything with Jungkook.
He smiled "But really April, if I do die, today you've made me the happiest man alive." He said beaming.
I'm not sure if he could beat Jhope in a happiness count though. "Man?" I said teasing. "What man still drinks banana milk?"
"Yes, I'm a man April." He said smugly.
I laughed. "We're idiots you know. No one is supposed to be the 'happiest man alive' while being kidnapped."
"I don't care what's the situation. As long as we are both okay and I'm with you, I am the happiest man alive."
I rolled my eyes "I'm no where near okay. Infact I'm sure I'm hallucinating."
He nodded "Me too, because it's almost to good to be true." He said planting a kiss on my cheek.
