Saving Him

Chapter 29

I took a picture of the message that is on my tv, and sent it to Ryder, Mason, Colton, and Beth. This ain't funny anymore. Whatever he wants, I will give it to him. He can't hurt my friends.

The first person to reply was Mason.

Mason: Dude that's bad. Do you think that was Tyler who wrote that?

Me: obviously! Who else would it be? No one is trying to get me besides Tyler! And I bet you he has Ryder too, but I'm not for sure.

Mason: he could because Ryder hasn't been around for the past day and a half.

I placed my phone down beside me, and thought about what he said. About how he could have Ryder. Yes it was my idea, but he gave me another thought to ponder that with, 'Ryder hasn't been around for the past day and a half '.

Ryder did message all of us, saying he'll be back soon, and not to worry about him, and that he's fine. But I doubt that. Tyler had to of made him send that message.

My phone buzzed so I picked it up to see who it is. Ryder.

Ryder</3: That is a scar message. Who wrote that? And why? What does he mean one down and three to go? Are you okay Casey? I promise to be home soon. I miss you..

Me: I don't know who it is. I think Tyler, and because he is after me obviously, and I'm not giving myself to him. But I'm fine for now :/ and I miss you too Ryder.

He never responded after that. Maybe his phone died. Wait no, if Tyler has him, he probably took his phone and read that message to him making him suffer. That's just the way Tyler is.

I flopped backwards on the couch and sighed. I'm sick and tired of this.

Unknown: If you want to be safe come meet me tonight at the corner shop, the book store. Got it? Meet at at 9 pm, and I'll keep you safe.

I tried to text the number back, but I couldn't respond because it was a one way text. This isn't Tyler because he somehow has my number. Or maybe it could be Tyler, but using a different phone.

M phone buzzed again.

Unknown: By the way, this isn't Tyler. I can promise you this. If you want to meet up sooner, we can.

I typed in another text to hopefully let it go through. And it did! I smiled at my phone, and that this person must not be very smart.

Or maybe I'm not, because then the number started calling me, but this time it showed a actual number.

"Hello?" I answered suspiciously.

"Is this Casey?" A person said from the other line. It sounded like a guy's voice. Not a creepy old dude, but maybe a teenager.

"Yeah, who is this?" I questioned them.

"I'm the person who just texted you. If you want to be kept safe, meet me tonight at the corner book store at 9 okay? My name is Marshal, and I will protect you from Tyler."

"How do you know about Tyler?" I spoke really fast.

"Look, let's not talk over the phone. I know what Tyler is capable of, just remember that. I know you know what he is capable of too. Just meet me tonight okay?"

"I thought you said I could sooner?" I questioned.

"Yeah, well something came up and I can't right now. Do you want me to make it earlier? Like seven thirty?"

"That will be fine." I answered.

"See you then Casey." The line went dead. I got one more text thought from him.
