Chapter 19: All To Familiar
"Please why are doing this?" AJ asked softly
"Are you really asking me that right now" Natalie replied with a smirk as she drove down the Chicago streets
"He doesn't love you" AJ whispered softly
"Yes he does…I know he does" Natalie replied with a glare
"What happen between you and him was lust…not love. He was lost, scared and confused…he went to you for some solace. It doesn't mean that he loves you Natalie" AJ replied sternly
"You don't know that...ask him when he finds you…or shall if he finds you about everything that happen the last time we spoke" Natalie replied with a smile
AJ looked at Natalie in confusion…there was a last time. Punk never told her about a last time…which meant when he said a new neighbor moved in…it was really Natalie at the door. AJ hung her head sadly…how could he lie to her again.
"Please be there…please be there" Punk thought parking his car in front of Natalie's house.
Punk got out of the car without even turning if off and raced up to Natalie's porch…banging on the door Punk called out her name. Nothing…no response just the emptiness coming from the house…it was then that Punk remembered she had a back door.
He remembered it from last time when they hung out because Natalie accidently locked herself out.
"I can't believe I just locked myself out of my own house" Natalie said with a sigh
"I can't believe you actually forgot your keys inside the house" Punk replied with a chuckle
"Shut up…let me see if the back door is open" Natalie replied making her way to the back
Punk could only laugh as he followed Natalie to the back door…she was lucky that day because it was unlocked.
Punk ran to the back of the house and he always said luck was for losers…well this time he was glad to be called a loser.
"Yes" Punk thought as he walked in the house as shut the back door behind him.
The house was empty…for some reason Punk got a weird feeling being in the house again. One too many mistakes he made while being in this house...geez he was an idiot. Punk searched around the house in hopes of anything that might show that AJ was here...but nothing he felt so hopeless.
Punk did try calling Natalie again…but voicemail over and over. Punk slowly made his way to the door of Natalie's bedroom. With a deep sigh Punk slowly turned the knob and opened the door.
Punk walked in and shut his eyes…for some reason he just felt so wrong being in there again. Flashbacks and images of Punk and Natalie on the bed kissing...her moaning and him trying his best to not let the pleasure get the best of him flooded his brain. Punk's eyes flew back open as he began to search Natalie's room.
"There has to be something in here…there just has to be" Punk thought
Punk searched everything…her closet, boxes she had stored away below the closet, and every inch imaginable but nothing. Punk sat on the edge of the bed…he felt like the biggest loser for letting things get this bad. It was his fault his girlfriend was taken away…and he had no way of getting closer to finding where she could be.
Punk looked over his shoulder at the alarm clock on the nightstand…it was five till ten and he still had nothing. Hours of driving back and forth…hours of searching all over Chicago to still have nothing.
Nightstand…that's it…it was the only place that Punk didn't search. Punk walked over to the nightstand and pulled the drawer open…upon opening it Punk felt his body grow cold.
"Oh my god…it can't be" Punk whispered softly
"Get out" Natalie demanded pointing her gun at AJ
AJ was scared…it was dark and cold. With both hands firmly on her pregnant tummy AJ got out of the car slowly.
"Now move" Natalie replied sternly
AJ gave Natalie a saddened look before walking…for some reason this place looked so familiar even the route to getting her was all to familiar to AJ. It was then that it clicked…Natalie had brought AJ to the same place that Punk was brought that day that he was held hostage by John.
But why on earth would Natalie bring AJ here?
Pulling the drawer out of the nightstand…Punk looked at everything that was in it with shock. There were pictures of him and AJ…some with AJ still in them and some where it was obvious she was cut out. There were the pictures they took in a photo booth in there as well…they had taken those pictures the first time they hung out.
What the hell was going on…why did she have all of these? Not to mention where did she get them. It was then that Punk remembered the day he let Natalie wait at the apartment for him. She must have looked at everything in his apartment and taken what she had wanted…it was just odd that it happened to be photos of him and AJ.
Punk removed all the pictures until he revealed a small picture frame…Punk grabbed the small frame and lifted it up to see the picture that was inside.
"What the fuck" Punk whispered in shock
