Taken

Chapter 18~ you got this

Lauren's pov:

This doesn't feel real to me right now. I'm going to do practically a killing scene in a movie. But the scary thing is it's not a movie. It's not fake. This is actually happening to me.

I drove slowly and followed the directions Jason gave me. It was close to 6:20 when I got to a familiar street. Before I went to turn onto the street I stopped and went straight.
I had to stop by my moms tree quickly. Just to say a prayer, and ask her to watch over me during this cause damn I'm gonna need it.
It only took me 5 mins before I left the tree and got to "the place." When I was little my mom told me to close my eyes and count to three in my head and all my worries will go away. It worked until now. I've never been in this situation, of death.

I saw the black van.
The black van that if this doesn't work out I could be in next.
The black van they could hurt me, could be killed or raped in.
The black van of worries.

I parked the car and turned it off. I then put the sticky note on the radio and grabbed the keys.
Before I got out the car I looked around and I saw a faint look of fredo in his position in the window. He nodded his head telling me it's time.

I couldn't see Jason but I know he has this figured out.
I got out the car and I saw the van door slam open. Ari went to run to me but jake held her arm back.

" no games Martinez." Jake said loudly as he held a gun to Ariana's head.
" no games I promise. I have the keys for Ariana and that's it." I put my hands up in surrender.
" good." We walked and met in the middle.
" you don't have to do this." Ariana said trying to stick up for herself.
" yes. I do." I looked at her and grinned confidently.
Jake let go of her and I handed her the key. " let's go sweety, we have a lot of... 'Catching up' to do." Jake smirked and grabbed my wrist painfully.

I then started to shake cause then I remembered jake has a gun. Jake has a gun and Jason didn't tell me what to go if he had a gun. I closed my eyes and tried to count to three until I heard...

" GO!" someone yelled it pulling me out of my thoughts.
Just then the smoke bomb blew up directly in front of jake.
I then heard jake scream. A scream of pain and that's when I knew fredo did his job.
I fell to the ground because of the explosion and jake released his grip enough for me to get away from him.

I felt a sharp pain in my arm but i didn't pay any attention to it.
I felt a hand pick me up and by complete surprise
it
was
gale.
Gale? Why is gale here? Is he apart of this? Is he apart of a gang? He never seemed that type. " gang" type. I looked at him and he looked scary. Like in my nightmares. He looked gray with wrinkles and like.... dead. What happened to the life of him? He used to have tan skin and gorgeous brown hair. He was really good looking. He had every feature a girl wanted. " come on we gotta go!" I shook my head and cleared up and saw Jason holding me.

We started to run to the other side of the motel where Jason parked his car.
I saw Ariana drive her car past us.
" cops will be here soon we gotta go." Jason said as he took his mask off.

" oh my god." I said as I looked down and saw my arm bleeding.
" okay you're okay we will take care of it, don't stress about it or it'll hurt more." Jason said as he sped off to his house.

My arm started to feel numb. I must have cut it on something when I fell.
I looked down and saw broken pieces of glass shattered in my arm.
" Jasonn." I said as the pain started to increase.
" hold on baby we are almost at the house, Matt should be there now." Jason said as he took a quick turn onto his street.
I tried to move my arm but I had no feeling in it, I was loosing a lot of blood and I was getting dizzy. The cut must be deep. " babe you gotta stay awake we are almost there." Jason said as I started to close my eyes drearily.
" j I can't." I could only manage to get that out before I drifted off.
