A.N.: This chapter is dedicated to nikki007 for being the first to review to my last chapter. I would also like to say that I appreciate the reviews that I got, but I thought that I would get more. Most people that normally review didn't and that made me sad.
nikki007: She'll find Rob. I guarantee it. And what are you going to do to me? You can't do anything to me, but anyway, thanks for the review.
PrudencePiperHalliwell: I haven't talked to you in a while. Anyway, thanks for the review and make sure you don't give yourself a hemorrhage wailing and tearing.
moovalous3: Yeah, Mrs. Wilkins is awesome. She might be a happy camper had her boyfriend not been kidnapped right under her nose. And no, I actually have like 50 reviews to 200, but I want 200 before I finish this story. I probably won't get it though with the way the reviews have been going lately.
iluvmybeagle: I finished! Aren't you proud of me? …You should be.
somebody: Hello somebody, my name's Catty, what's yours? Lol. Thanks so much for the review.
oooh, i love your story: Thanks so much, if I knew who you are I could maybe say the same for one of your stories (If you have one).
Mayan Devil: I had a cold a while ago and that sucked ass. I tell you. Anyway, I hope you feel better and thanks for the review.
rubberrand11: I updated, so you don't have to wait anymore. Isn't that awesome?
Okay, Jess will have a dream in this chapter anything in this font will be her dream.
Chapter 13
I walked upstairs and into Rob's room where only last night we were practically "doing it" on his bed. Now, I had to lie there by myself and see if I could find him wherever he is. He's only been gone a couple of hours, but it felt like an eternity to me. I missed him so much. I wanted him to lie down next to me and tell me that none of this had happened and it was all a prank or something.
I got into my pajamas in slow motions. I couldn't bring myself to actually move like time was still passing. I felt trapped in that one moment when I wasn't there for him when he needed me. He was always there for me and the first and maybe only time he ever needed me, I wasn't there.
Mrs. Wilkins-Mom-knocked on the door a few minutes later while I was standing in the middle of Rob's fairly plain room just thinking and staring at absolutely nothing. I couldn't sit down or even move a muscle in my body for fear my entire body would collapse on top of itself.
When I didn't answer her knock she just opened the door. She saw me in the middle of the room and was at my side in a heartbeat. "Jess, sweetie, are you alright?"
I just looked into her eyes without answering her. She could easily see the pain and torment in my eyes just like I could in hers. We didn't look away from each other for careful minutes as we were just standing in the middle of Rob's room wallowing in self-pity and depression.
Eventually, Mom led me over to Rob's bed and pulled the covers back for me so I could crawl in. She handed me some pills and a glass of warm milk. I hadn't even noticed she had them in her hands when she walked in. But then again, I wasn't noticing much of anything right then. I was finally coming to terms with the shock of my own boyfriend being kidnapped.
Mom finally left me with my thoughts awhile later after she had tucked me in and made sure I was completely comfortable. If I had been in my right mind at that time I would have noticed how sweet her efforts were. It was so nice to have her care about me that much, especially considering it was my fault that her son was kidnapped.
I really wished that Rob could be with me right now. I needed him. I regretted not telling him that I loved him now. I should have told him earlier. Scratch that, I should have told him every day since the first time I told him that Thanksgiving Day. Now, all I could do was put my face into his pillow and smell his aroma.
I don't know how long I had lain there stiff as a board just thinking. I wanted to go to sleep and wake up the next morning and find that none of this had happened, but that was impossible. I finally felt my eyelids get heavy before I found myself in a different place completely.
I was in a gym of some sort. I don't know where I was, but I was in a dimly lit gym. I looked around for some kind of a sign to tell me where I was, but before I got a good look at any of the awards on the walls I saw Rob. He was tied up to a basketball hoop. By the way his head was positioned I would think that he was still knocked out or on some heavy sleeping pills. I didn't stand around to think about it for very long. I ran right up to him and tried to wake him out of his deep slumber.
"Rob, can you hear me? Rob?" I was whispering in case anyone could hear my voice and come running. That wouldn't be fun. But after a minute I heard him start to groan a little. Well at least I know he's alive, right?
He finally came to his senses and said, "Jess, what are you doing here? You can't be here."
"Don't worry. I'm not staying long." I went behind him to where the knots were holding the ropes in place. I took one look at them and knew that I would never be able to get them undone without a knife. Damn. Rob was still muttering about how I should get away before I got hurt and a load of other stuff that I wasn't paying attention to. Then I remembered that Rob kept one of those Swiss army knives in his pocket. But which pocket? I wasn't about to ask him considering he was still rambling, so I would just have to find it myself.
This was the part that I thoroughly enjoyed. I was lucky enough to have the honor of reaching down my boyfriend's pants to try to find a knife to cut the ropes. And lucky enough for me he kept the pocketknife in his back pocket and that pocket happened to be the last pocket that I looked into. Score one for me.
I cut the cords on his feet first. I took the clean sharp knife and ripped it through the cords around his wrists, but I heard a noise in the distance. I pocketed the knife back in Rob's pocket and gave him a little kiss. It was just a little one, I swear. "Pretend that you're still tied. He hopefully won't notice. I'll be here to get you in fifteen minutes."
"Mastriani, I hope you know what you're doing." I looked into his eyes and I saw his fear. He was scared that I would get hurt. That was so sweet in a weird sort of way.
I nodded and said, "I love you." And with that I saw Rob for the last time."
So, I got dressed really fast and went downstairs to find Mrs. Wilkins still in the living room. "Um, I found him. If you don't hear from me in the next forty-five minutes, call this number." I gave her a paper with Dr. Krantz cell phone number on it. "Tell him I'm at the school gym and tell him about Rob being kidnapped. Thanks. If I'm back, then don't bother."
"Okay, Jess. Please be careful. You don't even know who this person is."
"Sure thing, Mom. I'm taking Rob's bike. I'll be back as soon as I can."
I left on Rob's bike and took the 10-minute ride over to the high school while worrying about what could be happening to him. (A.N.: Does this make sense?)
When I got to the school I went straight towards the gym. It just figured I would be in school on the holidays.
I got to the gym without seeing anybody or I think without anybody seeing me. I saw Rob still attached to that basketball pole. I walked over to him and said, "Hey!"
He didn't look to pleased to see me when he said, "Do you know the person that kidnapped me is right behind you?"
And when I turned around sure enough there he was with a gun pointed at me.
"So, you're the stupid one who would try to steal my boyfriend."
A.N.: Sorry it took me so long. I'm going to visit my mom in Florida for a week, so it might be a while until I update. Sorry, but I have to go. You know parents…
Anyway, I decided to put a little test in this chapter. It will be on a ranking system and it goes like this:
Five Points: You guess completely right
Four Points: For the most part you're right, but a little wrong
Three Points: Sort of right and sort of wrong
Two Points: Had the right idea, but completely wrong
One Point: You tried, but you were way off
No Points: You didn't guess at all
Now the question: Who is the kidnapper/ person trying to kill Jess?
I think I've given enough clues for a proper and precise guess. Oh and by the way, there are only two more chapters left before the sequal.
