Chapter 18 - Jack?!
"Hello class, how is everyone today?" I asked, smiling at my class.
"Good" they all said in unisom.
I described to my class what they are to be doing today. They each partnered up and got an instrument. I sat in my seat with a huff. Travis was away today, well, actually he was away the whole week. Apparently he went on holiday even though I don't know where but they said he won't return for a month I think it was. I don't care though, I don't want him to come back. I don't like that they keep making these creepy guys work with me, I'm perfectly fine on my own.
Soon the bell rang and everyone left for lunch. I waved at everyone goodbye as a few of them smiled back and waved. I felt a bit more happier now that Travis isn't here to annoy me with his petty flirting. Today was finally Friday, Jack was gonna go to his interview soon and I was about to leave work soon to cook for him a special lunch. I was gonna make his favourite tonight for trying so hard to find a job to support us.
After lunch, my next class filed into the room. I saw the two boys, Oliver and Sam, walk in laughing. I rolled my eyes. I'm just glad Annabelle is at the hospital, resting. That poor child has had rough. She is dealing with having to know her parents are both gone. I don't want her to come back here and get bullied by these two boys again. She deserves better. I sighed and looked down at my stomach. It was only a tiny bump but it's there, no noticeable but it's there.
I smiled at my class and stood up. I told them all about what we are learning today and about some information about an assignment due in a month from now. It's a while away but they're gonna need time for this one. I explained to them everything on what to do and when it's due, everything. Before I knew it, the bell rang. Everyone left the class and I sighed in relief knowing I can finally go home now.
I grabbed my bag and my keys. I got up and walked out my classroom, locking the door behind me. I walked out of the school and got into my car. I drove off to go back home and change out of these work clothes. Once I got home, I got out of my car and opened my door. Everything was in one piece. I closed the door behind me and headed upstair, into our room. I have been quite cautious lately because of anonymous again being quiet, not doing anything.
I shrugged it off before changing something else then my current work clothes. I tied my hair in front of the mirror and smiled at reflection. I don't look that bad today. I went downstairs, into the kitchen and took out everything I'd need to cook Jack's favourite meal. I started on cooking before putting on some music from my phone. Jack is supposed to be home in an hour or so and the meal should be done just before then. It was quite dark outside because I kinda got home late and it gets dark early now so yeah.
I was humming to my favourite song 'Tonight by Union J' as I cooked a special dinner for Jack. I heard a thunder clap and lightening flash through the night sky which made me jump a bit. I heard a creaking sound from the wooden floor and I looked around.
"Hello?!" I shouted. No answer.
I put the wooden spoon down and walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. There was no one around but then I felt a cold breeze and I shivered from the cold air. I saw the door was slightly open and my eyes widen in fear.
"Jack!?" I shouted as I walked backwards and looked side to side.
"Say goodnight princess" I heard a dark voice say before someone covered my mouth with a cloth and wrapping the other arm around my waist.
I tried to hold my breath but they squeezed my waist making me gasp. I smelt the cloth and my head immediately felt like it was spinning. I felt myself falling till someone caught me by wrapping their arms around my waist.
"You're coming with me" I heard them say before I completely passed out from the chemical I breathed in.
-----------------------------------------------------------
I groaned as I sat up and rubbed my head. I opened my eyes before looking around my surroundings. My eyes widen once I noticed I wasn't in my room or even my own house. I yanked the covers off my body but shocked and horrified to see that I have changed my clothes to a dress that was way too short for my liking. I got up and walked towards the door. I just needed to get out of here and go home.
I tried the doorknob, key word there, tried. It wouldn't budge open. I huffed in annoyance before turning around, leaning my back against the door. I saw a window but it had bars on them. I groaned loudly in frustration. I have no idea where I am but I want to go home. I frowned as I slid down the door, towards the floor. I put my head in my hands. Today was not turning out to be a great day, I mean Jack is probably at home worried sick about me!
I looked down at my stomach. Now I was worried about me and my child. I don't even know where I am or whose house this is. I can't leave so I can only hope for me and my child to be protected against any threat that could possibly be living here. I looked up a bit but my eyes widen yet again to see a camera in the corner of the room. So this guy is also a perve, noted down and disgusted by it.
I started to think of Jack and how he's going to react to this, me not being at home. I feel like I know what his reaction is going to be and it's not going to be pretty. Jack is gonna be super pissed off when he notices that I've been kidnapped. I'm pretty sure this guy is not gonna miss the opportunity to rub the fact that he actually succeeded in kidnapping me from my own home after stalking me for who knows how long.
I heard the door slam close from downstairs making me jump a bit. I quickly got up and turned towards the door once I heard stomping footsteps coming up the stairs. I took steps back slowly, feeling a bit scared now. The doorknob jiggled before it slowly creaked open to show the bit of light shining through it. Once the guy stepped in with a full, blown mischief smirk on his face that I recognised, I gasped before narrowing my eyes at him.
"You!? What are you doing here!?" I shouted furiously.
Jack's Pov
I drove down the road to our house.It was a very long interview but I'm actually happy that this one took a chance and hired me. Apparently the owners knew Dillon was my friend so that also helped. I'm just happy that I finally got a job to support me and Amy and the unborn baby on the way. I frowned worriedly once I saw a fire truck right outside our house and the a few people outside there houses in pyjamas looking worried. I stopped the car nearby and quickly got out of the car. I ran towards the house but a fire man stopped me.
"Sorry sir, you can't go inside" he said.
"I need to know if my fiancé is inside!" I shouted, getting really worried now.
"We sent someone inside, there's no one inside the house sir, sorry" he said.
"What do you mean there's no one in there?" I asked.
"We checked, she must of got out on time" he said, shrugging. I growled under my breath because she wasn't anywhere near here that I could see.
I waited outside for them to put out the fire that took over the bottom floor of our house. All I could think about was where was Amy if she wasn't here. All I know is that Amy should of been home by now, she told me this morning that she'd be home an hour before I'd get home most likely was her estimate so why wasn't she here.
"Excuse me sir but it seems a pot of boiling water left on the stove had caused the fire" the fire man from before said, standing in front of me now.
"A pot of boiling water? I just got home so that means Amy must of came home then" I said the last bit to myself. Another fire man ran towards us with a burnt camera in his hands that had gloves on.
"Look what we found chief" he said to the guy.
"A camera?" he asked.
"Where did you find that?" I asked.
"In the house sir, it was in the kitchen, we even found one in the living room and the bed rooms" he explained and my eyes widen in shock before my eyes narrowed in anger.
"That's my house and I didn't install those" I stated.
"Well someone did" he said. "I'll give it to the police to investigate this" he said before they both walked away. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair as I scowled.
"Jack!" I heard from a distance making my head snap up at the voice to see Amanda with the others running towards me. They stopped in front of me with a worried look on their faces.
"We came as soon as we heard what happened" Sarah said.
"Whoa" Caleb and John mumbled as they looked at the now burned down house.
"Where's Amy?" I heard making us all turn our heads this time to see Max walking towards us with a frown. I frowned as everyone stared at me now.
"I.....don't know" I admitted.
"What do you mean?!" Max growled. He took a step forward but John and Caleb held him back.
"Amy is missing, I just came home not long ago to see the firetruck here and my house on fire, I asked them if anyone was in there and they said no one was in there" I explained.
"I'm sure she's just at the grocery store, right?" Amanda asked, sounding a bit worried now.
"The fire was caused by a pot of boiling water so I know she was home about to cook dinner" I said.
I heard my phone go off meaning I got a message. I got my phone out and opened the message from a private number, anonymous. It was a video. Everyone crowded around me to see the video. I played and put the volume out. My eyes widen when the video showed someone dressed in all black, dragging Amy out of the house before someone else ran in, poured oil around the house and lighting it on fire. The video was cut off after that. I put my phone in my pocket.
"That piece of shit!" Max shouted, angrily.
"I can't believe this" Sarah mumbled.
"The fucker" Amanda growled.
"What now?" John asked.
"Maybe they left some clues" Caleb suggested.
"I need to be alone for a minute" I mumbled.
I walked away so I was out of ear shot and from anyones view. I started pacing back and forth as I ran my hand through my hair again. I can't believe I let this happen to Amy. I promised I would always protect her and our unborn child and I failed to do that for the two people I love more than anything. I screamed loudly in frustration and pushed a nearby wall. I put my head in my hands as I paced back and forth again.
"Punching walls isn't gonna help" I heard making me look up to see Amanda and Sarah walking up to me.
"I know" I said.
"I know you're hurting that this happened but it's not your fault" Sarah said.
"Yeah it's that little asshole's fault" Amanda said, simply.
"Oh my goodness, your hand is bleeding" Sarah gasped, pointing at my hand. I looked down at my hand to see that it was, in fact, bleeding.
"Eh" I shrugged.
"We should get that bandaged" Sarah said.
"And don't be stubborn" Amanda said, glaring at me.
"Fine" I mumbled.
"Let's go back to the others" Sarah said.
We walked back to the others. I was quiet as they started questioning my hand and about everything going on but I didn't want to talk about it, I just want to find Amy, I want her in my arms. I mean, who knows how long till I find her!? Ugh! Stop thinking like that Jack. Caleb suggested we all go back to his place so we took our cars back to his. Once we were there, I asked Caleb where the bandages were.
I walked into the bathroom, where he told me the bandages were. I took them out and some anti bacteria. I dabbed some on my hand before wrapping the bandages around my hand. Surprisingly, it didn't hurt hand that much. It felt normal yet hard to move into a fist but I'll get over it. I sighed and walked out of the bathroom before sitting with the others who was all chatting to each other.
"Do we know a way to find her?" John asked.
"I may have a way" Caleb said and my eyes widen.
"Tell us babe" Sarah said, putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Well I can track the number down to where he's sending the messages from" Caleb said.
"I doubt that'd work" I said, knowing how anonymous works sadly.
"We can try, what other choice do we have?" Caleb asked.
"Let's just see if this works" Sarah said.
"Fine" I sighed.
"Come on dude, I'm sure it'll be ok" John reassured me. I stood up and glared down at him.
"Be ok? Amy has been kidnapped! The most important person in my life besides my mother has been kidnapped by a creepy stalker! I promised to protect her and the baby but I couldn't even do that! So don't tell me it's going to be ok!" I shouted out all my anger.
I stomped out of the house and sitting on the steps of the front porch. I put my head in my hands, sighing in frustration. I hate not knowing if Amy is ok or not. I'm already stressed out about this. I mean I'm gone for an hour or so and he decides to now do something. Once I'm done with him, he's gonna wish he never knew me ever. That asshole messed with the wrong guy.
"Jack?" I heard Amanda say from behind me. I could hear the footsteps of my friends as they approached me.
"Are you ok?" I heard Sarah ask.
"Dude, I know you feel angry at this guy but-" I cut John off.
"I'm not just angry, I feel furious like I want to beat the shit out of him" I growled out. They sat by me on the steps of the porch.
"Listen, I'm sure everything will be alright" Sarah reassured me.
I was about to say something till I heard my phone buzz in my pocket making me groan. I took my phone out of pocket and checked the message from anonymous. It was another video, I clicked on the video as we all watched it. My eyes widen before narrowing when it was a video of Amy waking up in a random room, looking a bit scared after but also I had noticed she was wearing a different pair of clothes, nothing that I ever saw her wear plus it was way to short for my liking. I heard Max growl from behind me.
"That fucking asshole, he keeps a damn camera in the room he's keeping her in" Amanda said, looking disgusted.
"He also changed her clothes" I grumbled as I tried to control my anger.
"I'm gonna beat the shit out of him so he ends up in a hospital" Max growled out.
"We'll help you" Sarah and Amanda said at the same time with a scowl on each if their faces.
"Guys, there's more" I said.
Amy had her back against the door, with a frown on her face. Her hand was on her stomach and she was looking down at her stomach. I frowned as well because we were both most likely worried about the babies safety after anonymous had threatened us. There was a loud noise of the front door slamming shut and loud footsteps heading in her direction. Amy had quickly stood up and turned to face the door.
She took steps back, looking scared. The door opened and in walked a man that was very familiar to my eyes. My blood started to boil in anger as my eyes narrowed at the screen. I knew something was wrong with that guy. I knew he was suspicious in some way and I ended up being right about that fucking asshole. I clenched my other hand in a fist tightly as I heard the others gasp in shock and Max sneer.
"Him?!" they all shouted in shock as they stared at the paused screen.
Just gonna say, soon sorry for being late.......again but I got school, there is a lot of work and I'm getting stressed out from it plus I do go out sometimes on my Saturdays and study for my next final exams which is gonna be hard but yeah. I'm sorry this is short but I want you guys to know who it is on the next chapter, not this one. Hope you guys enjoyed it and yeah, thank you.
