The countdown

Part 9 - A lost puppy??

-Octavia's POV-

I was awoken by a bang. I shot up out of bed and looked around the familiar yet unrecognisable room. Why do I have a sense of de ja vu? It was slightly dark, no light coming through the window that was placed to the left of the bed. I was on a king sized bed, that obviously belonged to a guy as it smelt like it. The sheets are a dark blue and the room overall was messy, clothes pulled in the corner of the room.

I felt a buzz somewhere on the bed near my leg and reached for down to grab whatever it was. It was my phone and when I looked at the screen I had 10 messages from my brother - great, 15 messages from my boyfriend - well whatever I shall call him, and 1 from Harvey - which was sent yesterday. Hmm where am I? The new buzz was my countdown that I added to my phone. I wanted to always know when I was supposed to meet 'the one'. 80 days left.

I opened my brothers messages first.

'Hey, just wanted to ask if you can buy some chocolate, I'm a bit hungry. Thanks sis.'

'Just wondering what's taking you so long. Text me when you get this.'

'Sis, where are you? This isn't funny anymore.'

'Your phones probably just dead, I'll see you soon at home.'

'You've been gone for over 3 hours now and I'm starting to get worried. Text me, please.'

'Sis???'

'I've gone to the shop, your not there. So where are you?'

'Text me'

'Octavia, text me now.'

'I'm being serious now, just tell me where you are or I'm going to have to call the police. This is ridiculous. Come home now. Sis, I'm getting really worried. Something has happened to you and I don't know what but I'm going to find you text me when you get this please. I love you sis.'

I quickly text him.

'I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you. My phone had died and Beck wanted me to stay the night so I'm at his. I'll be back in the morning. I looked over to the clock and saw that it was 1pm so quickly changed my last sentence. I'll be back by the afternoon. Love you too, sorry for worrying you.'

I looked at Beck's messages and they were all about missing me and that I should come round today. So if I'm not at Beck's, then who's am I at. That made me slightly worried and I decided to look at Harvey's message.

'Just wanted to say hi. :) X'

That was when I decided to text Harvey, before I do anything else just so he knows I may be in some danger.

'Hey, Harvey. I'm in a room and I don't know who's room it is. Any ideas. Please help. X'

Once I had sent him the message I got up and walked over to the door. I grabbed the door handle and was about to turn it until I heard noises coming from the other side and decided leaving won't be a good idea so I quickly turned around to see if there was another way i could get out but didn't find anything. However the footsteps and voices were getting closer, so I hid myself in the wardrobe and pulled the doors shut. I didn't have to wait long until the door opened and in came some people.

I couldn't hear a word they were saying but I'm guessing they were looking for me. The wardrobe I was in was quite small so I was squished into a corner. Suddenly my phone vibrated which made the wardrobe vibrate and a loud rumble to be sounded. Great my hiding place is ruined. I covered my eyes with my hands hoping the saying 'if you can't see them they can't see you' was true. When I felt the door open I screamed and ran out kicking at the person who opened the door. I didn't stop screaming as I ran around like a headless chicken with my eyes sealed shut. Stupid I know. I was doing well not bashing into anything until I felt some arms go around my waist and someone whispering a soothing 'shh, calm down' into my ear. I know that voice. I whipped around and wrapped my arms around Harvey's shoulders, still with my eyes sealed shut.

"Please save me, I've been kidnapped. How did you find me? I don't even care, just please save me." By the end I was crying. I was so worked up right now. I felt an arm go under my legs and one wrap around my waist and I was hoisted up. I was then placed on a soft surface. The bed. Oh no, maybe it wasn't Harvey. I was just imaging it, wasn't I? It's actually the kidnapper. I know I should just open my eyes, but right now I'm freaking out.

"Tee," It is Harvey, he is the only one who calls me that. But maybe someone has kidnapped Harvey and made him tell them the name he uses for me. "Please open your eyes and stop kicking me." At that point I realised I was wriggling around in the persons grip that was still on me. Maybe it is a good idea to open my eyes, at least then I know who I'm facing. "Please for me."

I slowly peeled my eyes open and saw Harvey staring down at me. I jumped into his arms and hugged him and then I look around the room and see the boys. I smile at them and then realise where I am. I'm in the warehouse. I sigh in relief and scoot onto Harvey's lap but let go of him. He wipes under my eyes, getting rid of my tears and me smiles at me.

"We are sorry for scaring you, we didn't think you would hide, or kick us or cry. Yeah we weren't expecting any of that." Toby smirks, but has a sincere glint in his eyes.

"Why am I here, and don't do that again Harvey, all of you." I smack Harvey in the arm and he takes in a sharp intake of breath. I look down and see him holding his arm, the one I just hit. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. What did you do."

"Your here because you fainted in the supermarket - therefore proving its not us - cause you passed out 2 hours before I had got to you. I picked you up from the crowd of shoppers and ran out and went to put you into the car but my arm got caught and the door shut on it. So I think I have broken it and so Josh's sister patched it up for me. And here i am now."

I looked at him and then something clicked. "This means I can see you again. Doesn't it?" I said smiling. I was beyond happy.

"Yes." Toby smiles at me. "Is it just me or have you got softer." He asks me but everyone else answers. "Yep"

"Your like a lost puppy"
