Chapter 4: Lost and Unheard

Derika looked amazed and aggravated at what the sobbing girl had said. Why couldn't her friends be like all the other students flooding into the building and look over them? "So your crying because Amber..left you...okay it's official I hate you more than I love breathing. Let's go..!" The girl said turning around until Bethany grabbed her arm.

Gwen sighed and turned back to the girls. "What do you mean 'gone'?" she asked rubbing the back of a hunched over Isatina. Keilara, teary eyed and runny nosed, talked next.

"We went to the mall..and she didn't...have her car so she...walked home..but she didn't call..us and her mom said she never..got home!" The girls sobs became even louder. Bethany's heart broke at the sight. Yea she hated them but, at heart she could never stand by and not help someone crying. It went against her way.

Derika, on the other hand, refused to be brought by the waterworks and yanked her captured arm from her curly haired bestie. Amber didn't deserve the rape or murder that usually went with a pretty blonde girl being kidnapped, but it didn't mean she had to help or care. The only thing she cared about was getting to class before Ms. Jenkins gave her another tardy detention.

Gwen stared at them with surprise. Amber was and always has been one of the most girlie, dainty chicks but she would never go down without a fight. "Did you call the police?"

"Her mom did around 3 am after she found out she wasn't with any of us." Tya Lee explained, her gray storm eyes were red and puffy from excessive crying. Even when the pouring tears all three girls still looked like roses in delicate rainfall.

"Don't worry I'm sure she will turn up come on I'll take you guys to class." Gwen hooked her arm around Tya Lee and the other in with Isatina, Bethany doing the same with the Hispanic and mocha girl. With their combined strengthen, The two friendly girls were able to left lift the trio up. They didn't see the look of disgust on the three other girls face. Keilara, Isatina, and Tya Lee unlatched their arms and stepped away.

"We might be sad but we still can't be seen with you losers." Tya Lee remarked with a stank eye in their direction.

Gwen was bothered by their response but it was that hypnotic energy that was clinging to the body's of the fab three wannabes. It was sicking and made her dizzy. Her head became heavy and her body felt as if it was being deflated.

"Hotness is leaving!" Isatina cried, stepping up to for fill the potion of leader. Wiping their eyes the girls, with a swish of their hips, walked away. Glaring after them, Derika shook her as if she knew all along that would be the enviable outcome.

"What I say? We should have fucking ignored them! The-"

"De,what if Amber's dead? We need to get help and it doesn't matter if they are jerks it was the right thing to do" Bath interrupted her black friend's rant with cool disappointment, as If expecting her to be sympathetic for once.

"What ever...sorry. What do you think Gwen?" She asked at her unusually quiet pal. Gwen seemed to be in a trance. Her grass eyes unfocused and her face hard as stone. "Gwen...?" She gently shook her arm. Gwen went wobbly before promptly fainting and collapsing on the ground.

Her two friends crowded over the red head. Her eyes rolled into her head, leaving only the white of her eyes to show.

"Oh my God Gwen!" Was the last complete phrase Gwen heard before being engulfed in the black warm flames of darkness.

The fainted red head started to stir on the cushy grade A plush beneath her. Beside her was a smooth warm body. As she opened her eyes see saw the blurry outline of a dark haired man.

"Hey babe." The figure greeted in a deep husky voice that sound all to familiar to her.

"Hi Kev...what happened to me...?" The teen's voice was groggy and out of tone. Kevin had his muscular arm wrapped around her frail waist. IT wasn't the first time she woke up in an unknown place with Kevin holding her close.

"Fainted..you know this thing is way comfier then that shit I got in my house damn..might just take it..." Kevin snuggled closer into her back, heating her shirt.

" Where's the nurse she wouldn't let a teacher do this with a student?" Gwen asked in curiosity and panic. Her school made it very clear. Teacher student relationships, especial in these past few years, were strikingly forbidden and punishment for people who even with held information was sever.

"Don't sweat it, babe she went on a lunch break when I came in." Kevin said so nonchalantly as he brushed a few stray hairs out her flushed face.

"Well," Gwen drawled as she tried to make up her mind about something. "Let's get to class..what period is it?"

"5 you were out for a long time." Gwen cussed under her breathe at the fact she missed half a school day. Kevin smirked at her. "Aw little Wendy cussed,bad girl." He lightly tapped her nose in reprimand. Gwen bite his finger. "If your going to act like that then we can do a lot more things on this bed then cuddle." Kevin wiggled his brow in a suggestive matter.

"Don't you dare, I'm going to class." Gwen swung her feet over the side and tried to steady herself for departure before Kevin grabbed her arm.

"Oh no your not your still sick I'm taking you home."Kevin pulled Gwen back to his chest, placing a swift kiss on her forehead.

"Now? You want me to forget about school and my grade and ditch school with you?"

Kevin gave a mocking glance of confusion. "Don't tell me this is your first time ditching?"

Gwen blushed at her perfect attendance since the third grade. She wasn't rebellious in almost very way the opposite of the word. Ditching wasn't a good girl did.

"Well..yea you don't even go to school." She said questioning his academic prowls.

"Yea but I still skipped when I did. Come on Gwen it's one day. I promise it would be fun." Kevin put on his most charming smile. Gwen found her heart turning to dough and gave up.

"Fine..but what are you going to do about you job?" Kevin's charming grin turn to a proud smirk. He shook his head making a short sharp tisk sound.

"Gwen, Gwen, Gwen you should no me by now. I always plan out my crimes."

"You know that's makes it even worst, right?" Gwen asked with a giggle caught inn her throat.

"Of course. Let's get going." Interconnecting hands, the two walked out the nurse's office.

Gwen leaned into Kevin as they walked to Kevin's sleek green and black Dodge Challenger. Opening the passenger for his girlfriend, Gwen crawled in. With a perfect pur of the engine the couple left the school building.

"Did you know Amber's missing? Keilara, Tya Lee, and Isatina were telling us about it this morning. She didn't come home from the mall." Gwen asked, turning down Kevin's punk rock crap so she could be heard.

"Whatever I'm sure her parents could send the F.B.I to find her." His tone was even and uncaring towards the missing girl.

"That's not all...on the other girls their energy...it was sickeningly awful like...Darkstar." She murmured the last part almost to herself. Hugging her arms she shivered at the thought of the zombiefied teen. He gave her the chills even this long after 'the incident'.

Kevin turned to her. Placing his hand on her soft cheek and smiled securely. "He's locked up and gone. Even if he came back I'd kick his ass right back to the null void. I promise I won't let that happen again. It's probably something else a charm or spell maybe but not him."

"Okay..."

Kevin's words were comforting but Gwen still couldn't shake the feeling of his energy scent bitter and tart with no true flavor. Disgusting. The older teenager turn onto her street and was about to pull up to her house until the apple headed girl stopped him.

"Can we go to your house? I really don't feel like dealing with her if she comes home early." The 'her' was Gwen's mom. Her parents' relationship was on the rocks and living at home made her feel out of place and unwanted. Their constant arguing was unbearable and the worst part was they always tried to turn her against the other. Mother would buy her a dress while Daddy would give her books. The only thing they ever agreed on lately was hating Kevin.

"Sure I guess." Kevin replied turning left and back n the high way to Los Soladad where he lived in a loft apartment for over a year. He never felt totally okay with Gwen always wanting to hang out with him at his place. Not that he didn't loved it but the sweet temptation of her being so close was hard to resist.

Pulling into the open parking Kevin took Gwen by the hand and lead her up to the top floor and to the door with the numbers 4511 printed neatly in a curvy handwriting. When unlocking the door

it revealed a short wide hallway. It split into a newly polished wood floor kitchen and then a living room with a 52 inch flat screen TV that faced a black leather cough. There were two other closed odors down another hallway from the kitchen that was his tech room and then bedroom.

"Wow for once it's clean. I'm surprised." Gwen said as she made herself at home on the sofa and turning on the TV.

"Oh shut up. I can clean by myself! I'm a big boy." he joke plopping down besides her.

"You paid Helen forty bucks to do it didn't you?" Gwen inquired all knowingly. Kevin smirked but didn't reply. Gwen giggled into his chest as he wrapped his arm around her. "Let's watch Dr. Oz no wait let's watch the time traveler's wife. Tara saw it last week and said it was the best thing since the notebook."

"Sorry don't got the movie...oh well guess we're going to have to watch Drag me to hell again." Kevin said in a fake sigh and disappointment. Gwen smirked at him.

"Oh don't worry Kev I left it here last time and we didn't get a chance to watch it." She walked to the DVD rack were Helen had organized the videos from genre and alphabetical order. She picked out her movie and popped it in the DVD player below the flat screen. "Thanks for being so concern." she kissed him on the cheek before settling back into her spot, ignoring groans from the boy.

They watch Gwen's love story before going Drag me to hell, 21, and Let's go to prison. Gwen fell asleep soon after the beginning of the last movie. Her head rest safely on Kevin's broad chest., her breathe blew in his face. He could taste the strawberry mint that hit his face. Her face seemed so angelic and at peace and so beatify. All the parts of her, her luscious lips, perfect creamy skin, long thick eyelashes block his view from those emerald eyes that sparkled when she smiled. She was just an angel lost on earth and he knows that everyday he spends with her is a blessing.

Kevin didn't wake his red headed princess up until 9 almost 10 ol' clock.

"Hey, babe I gotta take you home 'fore your parent's call the cops." Gwen stirred before slowly blinking her eyes open.

"Really wha times iz it?" She slurred as she took in her situation and the surrounding area.

"10." Gwen stared wide eyed at her boyfriend. How could he allow her to sleep for so long? Her parents would flip. More than flip. They'd flip than flip again. A double flip!

"Kevin! Da hell? Let's go!" She called loudly as she stumbled to get her Mary Janes on and race out to the car. Kevin followed, rushing to lock his door.

"Gwen calm down! Damn." He told her once he started the car and sped for the girl's house.

"Calm down? I'll get killed twice! Can't you drive any fast?" She banged on the dash board in hurry.

"I'm going 120mph! In a 65 zone and what happened to miss 'You driving to fast! Your breaking the law!'?" Kevin cried making a sharp turn down a suburban road.

"She left when you let her sleep over her curfew now DRIVE!" She commanded.

Kevin cut yet another turn into her drive way parking mere centimeters before the garage door. The lights in the living room turn on as twp adults stormed out of the front door. Gwen apprehensively stepped to her parents, letting Kevin being her wall between them.

"Gwendolyn Elizabeth Tennyson! What do you think your doing come home at," The father checked his watch. "10: 15 with a boy? Where have you been? We got a call that you left school!" he yelled.

"Young lady, do not tell me you skipped school with this hooligan!" Her mother called out loudly.

"Hmm..I didn't skip school with that hooligan..." Gwen stuttered with a small giggled. Her mother's eyes narrowed in rage as he father went to talk to Kevin.

"And who do you think you are? She is 15 and you can't go taking her anywhere you goddamn please. She's a minor!" He pointed an accusing finger at the boy. Clearly Mr. Tennyson though Kevin was way above his age. And Gwen nor Kevin could blame him.

"Now sir, Gwen wasn't feeling good so I just decided to take her home, I work at her school I had-"

"Work at her school?"He scoffed. "You didn't even finish high school!" He roared.

"Dad it was my idea! And dad I'm almost 18!"Gwen corrected her father. He turned a scary eye to his daughter.

"Since when?" He asked slightly confused, "Your only 15!"

"Since two years and 4 months ago. My birthday's in two weeks!" Gwen informed him, ripping with anger that he still thought of her as his little girl.

"That doesn't give you the right to be sleeping with this monstrosity!" yell Caroline Tennyson. Her orange hair identical to her daughter's was cut short and whipping around her like a flaming halo.

Gwen started tearing up. It hurt to know her parent's thought she was an irresponsible slut that didn't care about anything. Kevin grabbed her fingers with his to sooth her pain.

"Don't you touch her! Gwen you are going to get into this house and never and I mean never talk to this boy again. Now get over here!" He father now a bright red from yelling.

Gwen stepped farther from her mother and father and closer to Kevin. She slowly and meekly shock her head.

"Young Lady, did you just tell your father no? You will obey us and come!" Her mother's shrill voice slicing through the air and hitting her and Kevin's eardrums like a knife.

"I said NO! I'm tired of the fighting, and the yelling, and especially the CONTROLLING!I hate this house right now. If you are going to have a fucked up relationship then okay but I'm not going to let you wreck what I have with Kevin. That's final." Gwen voice was harsh and took no prisoners. For the first time in her life she told her parents what she wanted without thinking about their feelings or what they want but only about her happiness.

Carolina and Joe looked at their daughter this once obedient, smart. well mannered girl any couple would want turned into a rebellious, thoughtless Skank of a female. And it was all because of him.

"You did this! Our sweet little girl is not your personal whore! I won't stand for how you lied and tricked her into thinking you cared. I won't have it. I know your type and once you get enough of her you'll dump her. You are nothing more than filth." The angey father accused with all his rage directed at the tall dark haired young man.

Gwen knew what was coming it was going to be bad. Kevin's temper overflowed. It was one thing to yell at him. But to call her such names like that was something he couldn't stand.

"How could you do that to your 'little girl'? She's asking for her happiness and freedom but you blame it on me? I love Gwen and I'd do more for her than you guys have for a long while! You forgot her birthday last year. You left her for your separate love trips on Christmas! That is horrible. All she want's is to be heard and you refuse to." Kevin scolded the adults with a 'I'll kill you tone' despite the actual meaning of his rant.

"Don't preach to us on how to raise pur daughter. Gwen get over here now." Joe paced towards her and roughly grabbed her wrist. But Kevin being stronger easily ripped her out of his grasp.

"Gwen what do you want to do?" He asked his voice calm and loving. Tears had all ready spilled over and she looked from her lover to her care takers and back again.

"I..I have to go...for now..I'm sorry." She pulled him into a long hug before slowly trudging into the house, ignoring her yelling parents.

and done! Srry to leave it off on a bad note. Gwen left with her parents because she has always listened to her parents and fines it hard to express herself to them.

Questions: What happened to Amber? What Is the incident Gwen was talking about? What would happen with Gwen's parents? Will Ben talk ever in my fanfic?
