Chapter 6 – Filled with Hatred

Kelsey's POV:

In all of the years I have known my father, I would never have expected him to lash out like this.

It just doesn't make any sense to me.

The man that was with my father held me back and he had such a tight grip that I couldn't get away if I tried.

As soon as I saw my father hit Brandon on the head and throw him in the van, the man dropped me and he and my father ran into the car and sped away.

I was sitting on the ground in complete shock for a few seconds before quickly getting on my feet and running to Bam and the guys.

I run into the house and scream for Bam, he runs over to me within seconds.

"What's going on?" he said, worried.

"Brandon's gone!" I shout just as the rest of the crew comes where I am.

"What do you mean he's gone?"

"We were walking back with my stuff and my father came out of nowhere, grabbed him and threw him into his van!" Bam was speechless as was the rest of the crew.

Finally, Raab spoke up. "We need to call the police!"

"No!" I manage to yell out. "I may not know where they went, but I know my father well and if we contact the police, Brandon is as good as dead."

"Well then what do you expect us to do?" Bam shouted at me.

"We have to wait!" I shouted back. "He wouldn't just take him for no reason! He will contact us eventually and when he does, we'll be ready."

Novak's POV:

My head is killing me; the last thing I remember is trying to fight off Kelsey's dad. Oh crap! Where am I? Where is Kelsey?

I look around quickly but my pounding headache prevents me from seeing much.

I have managed to figure out that I can't move because my hands are tied behind my back, my ankles are tied together and I am stuck sitting in a chair in the middle of some big and empty room.

Man, I need my fix. My muscles hurt, and I am freezing.

Wearing short sleeves was a bad idea.

Suddenly the door opens and the man comes in along with Kelsey's dad.

"Welcome Novak." He says. "I hope you get comfortable because you will be here for quite awhile."

I don't answer, I just glare at him. He walks up to me and gets down to my level.

"I bet you are wondering why you are here. Well the short version of it is; I don't want people like you around my daughter and she seems to be attached to you, so I am giving her a choice; either she stops hanging around you or I will kill you."

I am frozen yet I still manage to respond. "Don't pretend like you care about her at all, that's why she is living with us in the first place."

I am rewarded for my bravery with his fist in my stomach.

I try to hunch forward, but my bound wrists prevent me from doing so.

"Do not talk back to me Novak! We wouldn't want to use this on you now would we?"

He produces a needle from his pocket, it is filled with the drug I am so familiar with.

"Do you really think I am scared of getting injected with dope? I have been looking for my fix for days and I really don't care if you shoot up for me."

"I know you don't care, but Kelsey does." His words hit me hard, if Kelsey sees me strung out; it will be the end of our friendship.

The only reason for this is that I will remind her too much of her mother and I won't be able to forgive myself if I am on dope in front of her.

I am silent once again before he speaks up. "I have a great idea, let's make a little movie." His partner pulls out a small video camera. "Now the fun begins."

He starts recording.
