The first call came when I was walking home, together with Connor, Hayley and Tyler as usual, that afternoon, after glee. My phone began to vibrate, and soon the tones of some random ringtone that had been in the phone when I got it was heard. I picked it up "hidden number" read over the screen. I pressed the green button and put it to my ear.
"Lex Ralston yes?"
"Hi… Alexandria." A boy said on the other side. "You know… you should really be more careful with who you give your number to." I felt that all the colour of my face disappeared, and I stopped.
"Who is this? What do you want?" My voice was shaking.
"Let´s just say… that I think you know me as a Patrick Leslie." Patrick… or whatever was the name of that mystery boy, came around the corner down the street, he walked towards us slowly, until he stopped right in front of us. He turned his phone off, and put it in his pocket, I did the same.
"What do you want?" I said, slowly.
"I´m not willing to hurt you…" the boy began. "…Neither am I after to kidnap, scare or in any other way harm you. But no… I am not gonna tell you what I want… not just yet."
"Listen… Patrick… or whatever your name is." Tyler took a step forward. "I suggest you leave my girlfriend alone… now, before I call the police." Patrick chuckled.
"So… your girlfriend huh? Well whatever… and you… no, Patrick isn´t my real name, but you can call me that for the time being. Good day." The boy turned around and walked away. I just stood there, with my hands in my pockets, and looked after him, until he had disappeared around the corner again.
"Lex…. Love." Tyler was the first one to begin talking to me. "You okay?"
"Yeah, yeah… I´m fine… you just go,"
"You´re sure?"
"Yeah, I need a moment on my own, you go."
"Well, if you´re sure." Tyler patted my shoulder. Then I heard them talking while they walked away. First after that I was sure they couldn´t see or hear me any longer?" I stopped fighting against the tears that came rolling down my cheeks way too fast for me to stop them.
For a short matter of time, just so short, my life had been so good. Not perfect, I´d had somebody who had given me a home, because they wanted, not because they had to. I´d had a group of friends that cared, a boyfriend that I loved- everything had been so good. Until this boy came into the picture.
I sighed, wiped away the tears, took a deep breath and started walking again. When I got home, the others were standing out on the driveway, I guessed Finn and Rebeccah was just about to leave, to go back to New York.
"There you are!" Burt said when I walked up on the driveway. "Thought Finn and Rebeccah would have to leave without saying goodbye."
"Yep, here I am." I gave Rebeccah a hug.
"Bye Bex, see you for the cruise." Then I walked over to Finn and gave him a hug.
"Bye Finn, see you for the holidays."
"See you Lex." They both said at once, and then stepped into the car, with Burt driving, I, Vie, Blaine, Kurt and Carole, were waving as they drove away. Then we all turned around and walked into the house.
"Why were you so late home?" Vie asked.
"Well, you know… glee club." I said.
"Glee club aren´t until half past five."
"Oh, I was gonna tell you… next Friday, at six P.M. finding- Josh- concert."
"Who is Josh and why are you avoiding question?"
"Josh is the little- brother of one of the members in New Directions, and I´m not avoiding the question. I´m just changing subject."
"Why are there gonna be a concert for finding Josh?" Blaine asked.
"Josh was kidnapped before Christmas. We´re holding a concert to get in money for the police´s work with finding missing children, and in the background, we´re showing pictures of Josh."
"Okay. I hope they´ll find him then."
"Yeah, I do too, I´ve seen some pictures of him, and he´s just the most adorable, sweetest kid you could ever find."
"So… Then why were you late home?" Blaine teased.
"I just forgot something at school, and when I was almost at home, I noticed it, so I walked back and got it that´s all," I lied. "I´m going upstairs, I´ve got some homework to do Oh, and by the way, one of the other girls in ND, she´s competing with her horse on Saturday, we´re gonna cheer for her, so I´m probably gonna be long gone when you get up, and then I´m not gonna be home until the evening."
"Which girl?" Kurt asked. I sighed.
"Marcie Taylor."
"Isn´t that the daughter to Sgt. Taylor?" Carole asked, I nodded.
"Yes, it is. Look, as I said, I´ve got something to do, so…" I didn´t finish the sentence, just turned around and walked upstairs, I put on Google and searched for songs about kidnapped children, I found one, listened to it a few times, and then I wrote the lyrics and chords on a paper, and walked downstairs.
"BLAINE" I shouted. "Could you help me with one thing?"
"Yep, what do you want help with?" I showed him the papers.
"Could you play this on guitar you think?"
"Yeah, I´ll just go get it." Blaine disappeared for a moment and when he came back he had his guitar, he sat down, and laid the papers on the table. He took a few chords, and then it began.
Stopping right there, the song is all these lives by Daughtry. As you can see, somewhere in between the chapters it was decided that not only Ben is coming with Marcie to that competition. Why? Because I´ve got some awesome storylines to it. And the next chap, is gonna be directly at the day for the competition, I´m sorry, but these next two weeks, are gonna be quite boring. During the unknown- songs- week, things are becoming interesting, as then, I´m gonna reveal who this "Patrick Leslie" is… dum, dum, dum duuuum
