Chapter 7:
Alex's POV:
Before Kim can say anything I'm out of her room and I've locked the door (just so everything looks normal). I hurry downstairs and check out what's going on. Kai's out and Jason went with him. Jonathan's slumped on the couch watching a movie at a very high volume. Perfect. As long as Kai and Jason don't come back too soon Kim and I can just sneak out the back undetected and we might even get a couple of hours head start depending on how much more of Jonathan's movie is left.
I grab a rucksack from my room and cautiously wandering past Jason I fill it with two bottles of water, an apple, an orange, a pot of cold pasta I find in the fridge, two forks and then stuff my wallet (containing eighty dollars) in it too.
Once I get to Kim's door and unlock it she's dressed in a pair of dark green tracksuit bottoms, a blue t-shirt, black sneakers and sitting on the bed stroking her stomach. She drops her hands to her sides abruptly when she sees that I have entered but I pretend not to notice to have seen the gesture.
"Are you feeling okay?" I say in a whisper and she nods before running to the ensuite again. I hurry after her, pull up her hair and when she's done I murmur "we seem to be getting into a pattern here then lean in and kiss her.
Kim jerks away from the kiss and I feel horrible for doing it however we both just pretend it didn't happen and tiptoe out of the room, out of the house.
Once we're outside Kim breathes a sigh of relief but I shake my head gesturing to an approaching car before pulling her quickly through the plants until we were hidden in them. We aren't out yet…
Tom's POV:
Mom's been freaking out since Kim was kidnapped and as much as I want to wallow in sadness too, someone has to be strong. I give her and myself a week before insisting that we at least try to return to normality. Go to sleep at the right time, eat properly, and move around a bit. I manage to convince her that it's what Kim would-no, does- want for us.
I hate Kai Lakewood from the bottom of my heart and soul. I wish he would burn in hell. He has been so cruel to my sister. So horrible. I remember as clear as if it were yesterday the first time I found out his true intentions.
Kim's been acting weird lately but I don't know why. She and Kai seem to be getting on great. I'm pretty sure she hasn't fallen out with her friends- Grace still comes around a lot and I see Kim with her other friends at school. So what is the problem?
I've been waiting in my room for what feels like forever when Kim shouts down the stairs "MOM! I'm going to Kai's house. I'll be back in about an hour."
Once I hear her door slam I burst out of my room and into hers, pulling her door to gently. I search high and low, on top of wardrobes and under her bed, inside her drawers-where I find a horrifying sight, a bra!- but nothing.
Why the heck is Kim not like a normal girl who puts all her feelings into a diary entry labelled "why I'm acting weird"! So inconsiderate of her! Anyway...
I'm about to give up when I see her laptop at the bottom of her wardrobe. I need a password. I type in KAI and am shocked when it actually works! This seems too easy. Next a window opens in front of me and its a conversation with Kai and I'm about to close it when I see the words "You good for nothing idiot! Get over here right now for some more rape- seeing as you didn't let me finish the last!"
I gape, open mouthed at it, just as I hear the front door open.
"When were you gonna tell me Kai's been abusing-"
I'm pulled out of memory by the ringing of the house phone. I pick it up and answer.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mr Crawford?" Says a deep but friendly sounding voice.
"Uh- yeah." I answer not dishonestly, my name is Mr Crawford- just not the one I'll bet they are most likely expecting.
"Mr Crawford, a girl matching the description of your daughter has been found at a-" I drop the phone going into total shock.
Eventually I scream out "MOM!"
A/N: Kim and Alex got out! Or do you think Kai's going to come back.
I'm posting another story at the same time as this one so I'll alternate between them. Check out my other story- Glee- Finchel's Future about Finn and Rachel's children.
