Promises

Where's Aaron?

"Where are we?" I asked as he pulled into a hidden drive and parked.

"Just an old, abandoned house we found. We got everything valuable out and let it to rot. Not we're going to do the same to you." He grabbed me by the hair and picked me upright in the seat. I screamed as he yanked me out of the car. He took off his shirt and tied it around my mouth, gagging me in the process.

Tears streamed down my face, leaving mud stains on my cheek. He picked me up and carried me inside, laying me down on a bed in the room right next to the door. I tried to fight through the rope and shirt, but it was no use. I knew Angelo, Crystal, and Chelsea were evil, but I didn't know they had this in them.

"It's no use, no one can hear you. No one is coming to save you!" He threw a pocketknife at me and laughed as it buried itself deep in the bed beside where my head was resting. "So, just like the house, we'll take everything valuable, then leave you. Tell me, do you fear death? Death by drowning, burning, starving, hanging, etc? We'll find that out later."

He reached into my pockets, digging out anything he could find. He grabbed my phone and wallet. Then, he reached for the buttons on my shirt. I screamed, but he was right. No one could hear me. I was going to be kidnapped, robbed, raped, and left behind. I kicked with the strength I could, but he only tied my legs and arms to the bedposts.

"So darlin, I hear you're a virgin. I've never had one of them before." He slid my pants to my ankles and did the same with my underwear. Then, he unbuttoned my shirt and took my bra off. Tears poured onto the pillows. I screamed louder, but he only continued to violate me. I felt as he rubbed himself against me and moaned in pleasure.

He then forced himself into me, and I screamed as pain went rushing through my body. I felt as though I was being torn in two, and it didn't feel good. I don't see how people actually enjoyed this. I screamed and cried, but eventually gave up when he wasn't stopping anytime soon. It seemed to go on for hours, but I just wanted it to end.

He grunted, moaned, and collapsed on top of me. He slowly pulled out and put his clothing back on, other than his shirt which was still preventing me from talking and screaming. "Hope you're on birth control. I came inside." He grabbed a cigarette and lit it in one hand as he sat on the bed and touched me with the other. "You bled a lot. You'll probably feel dizzy for a while." Angelo got up and walked out of the room. I could hear yelling outside.

Chelsea ran into the room. "I fucking knew it! You slept with that!"

"So what, sugar? You know we ain't got nothin but sex between us. I clearly stated that. I didn't need any bitches to be hooked on me. I'm not settling down for anybody."

My phone started ringing. I looked over and saw Allyson's name across the screen. Angelo removed the shirt from my mouth. "I'll answer it. It'll be on speaker. If you say one word about this or scream for help, this house will be on fire faster than they can get close to five miles from here."

I shook my head 'yes' as he answered the phone. "Delilah, are you there? It's an emergency. Are you okay?"

I glanced at them as they stared at me. "Yeah, I'm fine. What's wrong?"

"Why aren't you at school? They said you came home."

"Umm... I got sick, so I stopped at the pharmacy to get some medicine. I'm going to go to the doctor in a few days to find out what's wrong."

"Oh, okay. Well, I need you to hurry home, wherever you are right now."

"Why, what's wrong?" She was scaring me. She was never upset about anything. Even if she was, she was really good at hiding it. This meant something was seriously wrong.

"It's your brother. He disappeared. He's been missing since yesterday. Andrew just called and told me. He didn't want us to freak out just in case he had just snuck out of the house to hang out with friends, but he wasn't at school today even though all of his other friends were. He was kidnapped during a robbery they're guessing. There was also $500 stolen. Get home now."

"Okay," I said, panic rising. "I'll be home soon."

Angelo and Chelsea scowled. She walked towards me. "Don't think we're done here," she said, taking off the ropes. She gave me a red gel pill like the one Jayde had given me. "take this. I ran into Jayde on the way here. She told me to give it to you if I saw you. It's for your flu." My head started pounding, so I plopped it in my mouth and guzzled some water with it. I grabbed my stuff, put on my clothes, and hopped in the car. The only thing that mattered to me now was finding Aaron.
