I woke up in Kyle's arms. Last night's events flooded into my mind. Kyle said a lot of things but what caught my attention the most was that last sentence that he would kill for me. He could have just said that he loves me because someone won't kill for someone else if it's not a love connection or a close friend.
The other thing could also be that he had just said it so that I would calm down enough to go to sleep so that he could go back to sleep. So the question now is if he had really meant it or if he had just said it to calm me down. Wondering and thinking about this will just consume time and that is something that I unfortunately do not have the luxury of as I still need to get a way to find out where dad lives and get there before tonight. I don't think I will be able to survive another night sleeping over at Kyle's house, especially not if he will be saying stuff like last night to me. I tried to get up and out of bed but his arm that was holding me cuddling to him was just too tight and strong. I decided to wake him up. Not in the most peaceful way possible but in the most creative way I could think of at that moment. I picked up a pillow and threw it at him hitting him until he started waking up. He looked puzzled but quickly realised what I had done and got himself a pillow as well. After a while and a lot of giggles and laughs later I asked him if he would be so kind as to let me go free. He almost immediately let go and I quickly got up and went to the bathroom. Being in the bathroom I decided to take a quick shower and get clean for the day's activities. I could smell the delicious aromas of bacon and eggs coming from the kitchen making my stomach rumble. Finally feeling clean and better in my own skin I walked out to the room and put my outfit for the day together and hastily got dressed before there wouldn't be any more bacon left for me. Bacon was never safe when it was left alone with Kyle. I hurried down the stairs and when I entered the kitchen, I was amazed at what I saw. The table was set for a romantic breakfast for two, candles and roses with the two plates of breakfast right there in the middle of it all. I stood frozen at the door to the kitchen not knowing whether to enter the kitchen and sit down or whether to leave the kitchen and go and be busy up in the room until he comes and gets me. How was I supposed to know if this was even for me. It could have been his mum cooking for his dad and then me sitting down would ruin the whole surprise and idea. Kyle saw me standing the kitchen door and came to get me but then I had a flashback to one of Carl's surprise breakfasts and I slammed the door more or less in his face running up the stairs back to the room. I didn't realize it at first, but that table set-up was exactly how Carl used to set the table. If he did that, I knew that I would be in for a bad beating afterwards. I laid down on the bed, crying. Kyle opened the door and tried to comfort me. After a while he left and came back up with a bowl of porridge for me. He calmed me down and fed me the porridge like a baby. Afterwards I went and brushed my teeth thinking how I was going to get to my dad. Luckily, we had left both Kyle and my number at the hospital for if and when dad would pitch up. I was just brushing my teeth when I heard that Kyle's phone rang. He stepped out to go and get and answer his phone that he had left in the kitchen. After I had finished brushing my teeth and laid down on the bed again curling myself up into a ball holding the pillow and cuddling the pillow. He came back and told me that he had just spoken to my dad and that he would be picking me up tonight after he was done with his errands he had to run. I nodded my head and curled more into the ball that I was in. I didn't feel the need to get up and continue doing what I had planned to do for the day. I was falling into that depressive state that I usually fell into right after I would have one of those nightmares and I would be left alone for a little too long. I must have worried him because he came and sat down next to me. I had this sudden urge to hug him, so I decided to act on this and uncurled myself and stretched out my arms. Fully intending to look like a sexy cat but I doubt that that was what it had looked like. Instead of just hugging him I climbed into his lap and surprisingly he had let me do this without moving a muscle of his own.After a while I just hugged him, and he held me. We stayed in this position for quite a while because I fell asleep like this, and I doubt that he would move because that would be disturbing me from my peaceful slumber. He smelt nice and was just so cuddly that I fall asleep really fast. When I woke up, I was in an unknown bed, and I was not in Kyle's arms or lap anymore. I was a little confused about where I was but figured that it was most probably just my dad's home and that he had fetched me and that I had stayed asleep during everything, and he had just put me to bed.Never thought I would have the privilege to have a birthday party again. Especially after everything with Carl and mum. Dad said that if I had wanted to I could hold a small get-together for my friends and anyone else that I would want to come and celebrate my birthday with me. At first, I was skeptical about who to ask because friends wise I only have Kyle and nobody else. I didn't want to invite mom because she would be bringing Carl along with her and I wanted him as far away from me as was physically possible. After thinking it over and debating it in my head with myself, like a crazy person yes, I decided that I would invite everyone close to me that knows and helped me with everything before dad came home because ever since the war hero was back everyone wanted to suddenly become my friend. After all, my dad was a hero. I didn't want any one of those fakes at my party and if it ended up only being the four of us then so be it. At least I will hopefully have a wonderful time an
As I was limping toward the house my dad came to help me as soon as he had noticed me limping. He wanted to know what happened while he was helping me to get to his car. "Can I just please go and drop my stuff in the house before I let you take me to the hospital as I know that is what you want to do now?" I asked my dad. I just wanted to get away from the man if he was still chasing after me. I didn't know and I certainly couldn't check now. "No, give me everything you want to put in the house. Once I have you in the car I will drop it in the house coming back to take you to the hospital." I sighed. Dad led me towards his car and helped me into the passenger side before taking my bookbag and backpack I held out to him to drop off in the house. He wasn't even gone a minute before he was back pulling the car out of the driveway into the street. He looked mad and wanted to know what had happened and why and how I had gotten hurt. He looked angry but he assured me that he wasn't mad
When I heard the door opening I opened my eyes thinking it was Kyle that was leaving my room but when I had them open I saw that Kyle was inches away from touching his lips to mine. Knowing this the only explanation for who is at the door could be that it was my dad. I swear I have never seen anyone move as fast as Kyle did when my dad cleared his throat to announce his presence in the room. He was up, off of my bed, and out the door with a rushed goodbye in like three seconds. This had me laughing and I didn't even know what was funnier. Kyle's rushed leaving or my dad's face at what he had caught us doing in my room. After this dad has been acting funny and weirder than normal. What I didn't expect was that he and Kyle would be arranging behind my back to get my dress made and everything else arranged so that I would be ready to go to prom with him. The dress was the most perfect one I have ever seen and I fell in love with it almost immediately when I fit it for the first time
Kyle's P.O.V I got out of that suit as fast as I could with the prospect of cuddling with Clara, alone on the couch was something that I definitely was looking forward to. I had wanted to do so much more than the little goodnight peck I left on her cheek but I feared that her dad was home and he would cut off my you know what if he caught me kissing her on the mouth. He had warned me that he would do as much if he did see me getting cozy with his daughter. That alone would scare any young man from doing anything with her but adding the fact that he survived captivity for as long as he had and was in the military for so long had my legs shaking properly. This was also the reason that I looked up to him and admired him. You would think that someone like that would not be able to be as loving and gentle as he is with Clara. She has told me that she hears him some nights screaming when he wakes up from a nightmare and then crying before he is finally resting again. She doesn't know ho
I actually passed and made it with everything that had gone on and happened to me. Not the best of marks as I was used to getting earlier years but still way above the minimum needed for a pass. I had also decided that I wasn't going to go to university or college or anything in that regard but that I wanted to help people but especially kids who were being abused and were maybe too scared to talk about it and such cases. There were many different options for who to join or where to go and offer my services but ultimately I decided on the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) as their children's unit was the most advanced and they had been the most helpful in the application and interview process. One and a half years laterAfter extensive training and evaluations, I had been able to qualify as a special agent for the FBI. I hadn't been a part of the children's division team long when an undercover operation had gone south and most of our senior agents were compromised and we had un
I woke up tied to a chair with a massive headache and some dried blood dripping from the side where the blow to the head took place. There was a dirty rag placed and taped to my mouth and this muffled my screams to absolutely nothing.Nobody would be hearing me scream and this had panic flooding my system. I know I am a scary trained agent and that I was not supposed to still get scared or panicked no matter how much you have been trained you will still have a little fear or panic set in when you find yourself in such a situation.I tried wiggling to see if I couldn't get my hands a little loose so I could try and get out of the chair when I heard footsteps coming from outside the door of the room. I decided at that moment that I would close my eyes and just pretend to still be knocked out.I heard the door creak open and the footsteps of the person coming towards me until they stopped right in front of me. I didn't think my plan was failing un
After he had left, locking the door on his way out again, I tried getting up and just sitting with my back against the bed frame until the dizziness from the bump would pass when I felt Teresa trying to help me to sit up a little more. Once I was as comfortable as I was going to get I thanked her for her help. She looked as if she wanted to talk to me so I beckoned her closer and when she actually came I patted the spot on the floor next to me where she could sit. She hesitated for a second before deciding and coming over and sitting down in the spot that I had shown her. "He is totally obsessed with you. Before you came he would come and sit with me and he would tell me all about you and what he had seen when he was following you before you put him away, telling me everything that he had wanted to do to you." She started crying but she was still talking so I didn't want to interrupt her."He thanked me because I would be helping him get you. I didn't want to help him get you but t
We woke up hearing sirens, gunshots, and wood breaking. It could mean one of two things. Either we were being rescued and they were the ones doing the shooting and hopefully winning or John had become involved with some other low lives while in prison and they were coming for him because he didn't hold up his end of some sort of bargain or whatever they call their dealings these days. I was hoping for the first option really hard when it went quiet. You could have heard a pin drop. The torturing silence didn't last long before someone was at the door trying to break it down. I stood up and hid Teresa behind me for what it was worth. If it was option 1 we would just leave the room with the rescuers and if it was option 2 then they would have to get through me first before they could get to her. Not a very smart thing to say because judging by the sound of the weapons it's not small play things and in one shot I would be dead anyways. Finally, after a while, the person on the other en
