hes not dead

it had been two months three days 4 hours and 15 second since they had buried him and still all she could think about was him and how much she missed his goofy laugh and hes beautiful blue eyes and the warmth she felt when he smiled and the way she felt so safe next to him she had something else to have to think about too though she was eight months pregnant she had to think about her and jareds son she still had no idea what to name him but theres something that all of them including natalie didn't know though that jared wasn't really dead hes still alive but hes held hostage by mitch lawerences assistant he had came in between the time that the doctor told natalie and them that jared was ok mitch lawerences assistant came in and told jared that he had to pretend to be dead and that he was going to take him to the buchanan lodge and keep him hostage there and if he resistanted at all that natalie would die and if he tried to call and tell the police where hes at that they would all die and natalie too so he had to go along with it even though it would kill natalie he had to do it so she wouldn't die and the police men wouldn't either but mostly so natalie wouldn't and then the guy did something too the heart monitor and told jared when it went off to hold his breath and then he put something over jareds chest and told him that it would make is heart impossible to find and then he left and jared talked to natalie and then his dad charlie then to natalie again and then he told her he loved her and the monitor went off and he pretended to die then the doctors came in and checked for a pulse and they couldn't find one and then they came back out and said i'm sorry but there was nothing that we could do hes dead then mitch lawerences assistant came in and took jared and replaced his body with a wax figure of jared and off he went with them to the buchanan lodge natalie got up off the bed and went downstairs and out on to the patio and bre were out there
