Baby, baby, baby, ohhh, thought you'd always be- Oh…hi. Yeah…Justin Bieber…pretty cool. Anyway…on with the story…hehe.

--THOUGHTYOU'DALWAYSBEMINE!!—

"Quit screaming!!" The man in front of me shouted. I shut up.

"Thank you," another man said as he stepped forward, taking his fingers out of his ears. "Miss Freeman, we have our suspicions that you know the C. family."

I didn't know where the hell I was…well…I knew it was some sort of prison questioning room considering the men in front of me were wearing police badges. But I didn't know which prison because of the fact that I fainted on the car ride here. Either way, it was a prison, I was being questioned about Elly and her family, and I was screwed.

"How…how did you come to that conclusion?" I stuttered.

"We've been watching you for many weeks now, Destiny."

What right does he have to call me by my first name?! …ohhhh, yeah, right. He's got every right, he's part of the government.

I thought for a moment. It suddenly dawned on me. "…THAT WAS YOU?!"

--FLASHBACK—

I walked home from the mall, phone to my ear. I was talking to Elly.

"And this fat guy walks right up to me, pinches my cheek, and calls me a 'cutie'! Ha! Do you believe it?" I said.

"Amazing…" she replied in a monotone. I could tell she wasn't even paying attention.

"…And then a dragon walked up to me and ate my fries."

"Life can do that to you…"

I paused. She really wasn't paying attention. All of a sudden, there was a rustle in the bushes behind me. I snapped around. Nothing.

"Elly, I gotta go."

"Kay…bye."

Oh sure, she listens to that.

"Who's there?" I said toward the bush. Nothing. Hmmm.

--

I was in my room, on my computer, IMing Elly. I was telling her about the time I was at the carnival and I convinced my little sister to poke her uvula.

"And so I got a big stick and-" I stopped typing. I heard someone scribbling words on a piece of paper behind me. I turned my head around and looked out the window. There was a bush in my backyard that I don't remember being there yesterday. I didn't want to go outside cuz I was in my PJ's and bunny slippers. I opened the window.

"Hello?" I shouted. It echoed across the empty streets. I heard more scribbling. "Whoever you are, I think you should know, I'm not worth stalking! That's what my mom says when she's drunk!" I closed and locked the window.

--

This time, I was on the sidewalk, walking to Mary's house. I was texting Gabriella at the same time because this was around the time I loathed Elly. I heard a buzzing sound behind me. I turned around and saw a toy helicopter behind me. If I squinted I could see a camera. This was when I really started to get suspicious.

Luckily, I was eating a salted pretzel that a hobo sold to me a couple blocks down. I threw the pretzel at the helicopter and ran. This stalking thing was starting to get really freaky.

--

"You guys are mean!" I shouted. "You had my hopes up that I was actually worth stalking! I thought it was Todd!" This was where I started moping in the chair I was in.

"Relax," the first man said. "Listen, we just need to ask you some questions about the C. family, and then you can leave!"

"Good!" I said, sitting back in my chair. "Ask away."

"First," he said. "Is it true that you have met the entire C. family?"

I nodded. This was going to be a long night. I'll never make it to the dance.

--

"Well, look who showed up," Mary sneered.

"Relax, princess," Elly replied. "I'm just here for Destiny."

"Aren't we all," Alley said.

"What do you mean?"

"She means that the Des-loser never showed!" Mary shouted, throwing her arms in the air.

"Loser?" Elly asked. "I thought you were her friends?"

"Oh please," another girl, Alex, stepped forward. "We just became her friend to piss you off."

Elly fumed.

--

"Are we almost done?" I asked the two men.

"Almost," one man replied. "Now, all we need you to do, is call you're little friend Elly, so we can get her here."

I froze. "Uh…pass. Next question please."

The second man slapped his hand on the table. "Alright! Would you rather have us do it?"

"Oh, yeah, I'm sure Elly would come right over if two men she didn't know called her and told her to." I stood up at this point.

"You listen her, girl, we-"

Because

You

You're love, you're love

Is my drug

I looked around.

"Hehe, that's me." I picked up my phone and went onto another room. On of the men was about to jump at me, but the other grabbed him. Go figure.

"Hello?"

"Des?"

"Elly? What do you want?"

"Where are you?"

I paused. "Uhh…why should you know?"

"Because you're not at the dance!"

I heard music in the background. "Y-you're at the dance? But-"

"I know, I know, it's weird. I'm not the type of person to go to dances."

"You went…for me?"

"I wanted to apologize. But I don't want to do it by phone. Should I come to your house?"

"No!" I shouted. "No! I mean, stay right where you are! I'll be there soon!"

I had to think up an escape plan!

--

I walked right back into the questioning room, my escape plan all ready. But before I could even start it, the two men were dragging me outside.

"What's this about?" I asked.

"We traced your phone call," one of them said. I couldn't tell which one because all I saw were their backs. "We're going to find you're friend, Elly."

"What?!"

The next thing I knew I was screaming like hell again.
