Chapter 14: Breathe and Hope

Reflection from Chapter 13

I got up and told the teacher what I had just thought and asked her if I could keep my cell phone in my pocket just in case Angel called. She told me I could so I went and got it. As I put my cell phone in my pocket, I hoped that it would ring. I hoped with all my soul and heart that it would ring and that when I answered it, the voice on the other end would be the voice of an Angel. My Angel…

Jesse's POV (same day)

I couldn't concentrate. I couldn't sit still. I could barley even breathe knowing that Angel was out there scared and hurt and I couldn't do anything about it. Mrs. Smith was talking, but I wasn't listening to a word she was saying. The police had come and asked us a few questions: what Angel was wearing, what she looked like, and how old she was. Then I gave them the note and all the other information I had and they told me it was a good lead. They then left and told us that they'd let us know if they heard anything. After that Angel's parents had arrived and they weren't in any better shaper then I was. I was still on the floor crying when they got there. So the first thing Angel's mom did was come over on the floor with me and held me and we cried together. She knew how much I loved Angel and cared about her. We sat there crying together and as we sat there I looked up at Angel's dad and saw he was crying too. Then I told them about what I had remembered about where Angel kept her cell phone. I saw their spirits lift right before my eyes and with that I knew that there truly was hope left…

Angels POV (After the scream…)

I tried to scream more but I couldn't. My screams were now muffled by the ruff hand covering my mouth. Please be Jesse! Please be Jesse! That's who I was hoping it would be and I was wishing with all my heart it was him, but I knew it wasn't him. Then the person dragged me out the door and down the path to the parking lot. I still couldn't see the person's face, but I was pretty sure I knew who it was. Just then the person leaned down to my ear. "Hey baby, did you miss me?" The voice whispered in my ear. It was a mans voice and I would know that voice anywhere. For days that voice had haunted my dreams. Not only that but he had also haunted my mind with his words and the pain he had caused me. The voice belonged to Dave and now he had me in his arms and he was pulling me away from school. One of the only places I thought I would be safe from him. "I missed you to much to wait for you to come tonight. It also wasn't working out with you only coming for a few minutes. I need you longer than that." He said the last words as he leaned closer to me. "So I thought, hey, why no come and visit you. Then I thought better of it. Why I'm there, why not take you with me and that way I can have you all to my self." He said the last words as we approached his car. He opened the door and threw me in the backseat, not caring if I was safe or hurt. I then sat on the seat and prepared for the ride, silently saying goodbye as we left the school. For I had little hope of seeing anyone in there again…

(I was going to stop there, but I thought I would be nice and continue. Enjoy!)

Still Angel POV

Dave had been listening to the radio to see if there was any news about me being missing. Within the first ten minutes we heard the first alert. It told people who I was, where taken from, and the number to call if I was found. Dave shut of the radio with force and cursed under his breath. "I didn't expect them to know you were missing so fast!" He said with anger. "They must have heard you scream and got suspicious!" He said with realization and anger as he slapped me across the face. The sound of his hand making contact with my face rang throughout that car and was still ringing in my ears five minutes later. We arrived at what I guessed was his house and he took me inside. He told me that he had to go to the store and that he didn't want me to go with him because of alert that I was missing. He then told me that if I left the house or called for help, he would hurt Jesse and every single person in the family. I told him I would do as he told me and then he left. At that point when I was sure he was gone I took out my phone from inside my sock. I had remembered while we were in the car that I had it with me. I sat there on the white leather couch and dialed the familiar number that was so close to my heart. Within three rings Jesse answered…
