I Didn't Know You Loved Me…

~Aria's POV~

That little jerk! The nerve of him… calling me a liar and saying I was wrong!

What did James know anyway? I even kind of hoped that Santana would hurt him, just so he would see that I was right.

I slammed the door and started walking to… well; I really didn't know where I was going right now. Anywhere would be better than here.

~Santana's POV~

I couldn't wait for James to call me, just so I could hear how Aria screwed everything up.

But when I picked up the phone, it was James's melodic voice on the other end… it was Jaxson's.

"What do you want, Jaxson?" I asked harshly. "I'm in the middle of something."

"I doubt that," He scoffed. "But nice job by the way."

"What do you mean by that?" Uncertainty was in my voice.

"You drew a rift between James and Aria. Aria's out of the house, away from her friends, and the next stage of our plan is complete. The kidnapping can go as proceeded." Jaxson answered; clearly happy he had the advantage.

"Kidnapping?" My voice rose. "What do you mean kidnapping?"

"I'm kidnapping Aria, Santana." He said dryly. "Taking her back to Minnesota away from all who are dear to her."

"I never agreed to a kidnapping." I barked. My teeth were tight together, and my eyes were darting around the room.

What the hell had I gotten myself into?

I could imagine Jaxson rolling his eyes out of my surprise and disbelief. "What did you think I was doing, sweetheart?" His voice oozed with meanness.

"I don't know…" I mumbled. "Just screw with her life a little bit… NOT COMMIT A CRIME!"

"Then back out now. But once you're gone, you better watch your back." He threatened.

I closed my eyes, taking a couple deep breaths that my yoga instructor taught me to do.

He then asked, "What's your choice, Santana?"

"Fine," I sighed. "I'm still with you."

"Good," Jaxson smirked. "I'll talk to you later."

"Bye," I mumbled half-heartedly and hung up the phone.

I ran over to the couch and shoved a pillow in my face, which muffled my screams. After that, tears started forming in my eyes. Why did I get involved in this?

"Why, why, why?" I cried, dropping to my knees.

The phone rang again.

"Stop calling me Jaxson!" I snapped, trying to cover for the sniffling.

"Um… it's me… James." He answered, uncertainly. "Are you okay? You sound like you're crying."

"No, James, I'm not okay… can you meet me in my apartment?"

"Of course,"

"Like right now? Please?" I begged him. "It's important."

"I'll be right there."

James pulled me into a big hug as he walked in. "What's wrong, sweetie?"

I sniffled. "I made a bad choice."

"What kind of bad choice?" James asked, hesitantly, probably expecting the worse.

"It's not against you… but it's towards Aria."

James took a deep breath. "We can fix this… what did you do? Did Aria really tell me the truth?" He mumbled the last part, more like asking himself the question than me.

"Yeah, I'm guessing she did, whatever she said. And-" I gulped. "I kind of helped Jaxson spy on you… I thought he was doing it to just screw Aria over but…"

"But…?" James started freaking out.

"He is kind of going to capture her right now." I said, quickly.

"WHAT?" James yelled. "Santana! How could you do that?"

"I'm sorry, it seemed like a good deal at the time!" I said, defensively.

"Santana, we're done." James growled. It was a tone I never heard him use before. "I don't want to see your face again."

"James…" I stopped, knowing it was useless. "Just let me try to help you, please. It will give me some peace."

We took off, presumably going to find the others.

~Aria's POV~

I was strolling down the boardwalk, taking in the sights.

I was calmer now, then I was half an hour ago, but that was only because I was thinking of it… or at least trying not to.

"Miss me, sweetheart?" A hissing voice said in my ear.

Jaxson.

I sprinted away, wanting to get away from that wretched voice. I pushed through people, getting cursed at along the way. The only thing I cared about though was getting away from him.

I took a turn down the deserted part of the boardwalk. I risked a glance back… no one was there.

"Yes!" I fell to my knees, rejoicing.

"Think again, sweetheart."

A rag was shoved up to my face, and everything around me turned black fast.

Finally!

You don't know how happy I am to get this up! xD I had part of it done for awhile, and since it's Friday, I was finally able to get it done. I think this is one of the best chapters I've written in awhile, it just seems so much more put together.

Let me know what you think, I love hearing from you guys! :D
