Nobody knew. Not even her parents, with whom Beau would trust her deepest secrets knew of what happened after school, save Gally and her friends. She came home and hadn't said anything to her parents about anything that happened. She shut herself in her room and let her thoughts wander. They came up later in the evening and took her temperature, to make sure she was feeling alright.
"Are you sure you're fine?" they asked with concerned looks. She knew they wanted the best for her, but it was getting a bit repetitive.
"I'm fine," Beau answered. "Just feeling a little tired." She wasn't tired at all. She just wanted to be alone. A lot has happened within the past few hours, and she just wanted to be alone to process it all. Night came as she lied in her bed and slowly her eyes started to droop.
Beau woke with a jerk. Her eyes took a moment to adjust and she realized she was in a dark room with a bright light overhead. She tried to move but her arms and legs were strapped down. A shadowy figure slowly appeared from the darkness. He was tall with short, dark hair, a French moustache, and a red beret. Behind him were two tall, bulky men with helmets, bulletproof vests, and assault rifles.
"Do you know why you are here?" he asked with a strong Russian accent. His voice smelled of rotten fish and animal poop, and Beau cringed her nose at the horrific smell.
"No," she managed to choke out. Beau didn't know anything of what was happening, much less why she even was here. The last she remembered was going to sleep on her bed, after that incident with Gally.
"I will ask you peacefully one more time," the man said while drawing a knife. "Do you know why you are here?" He approached her with the knife in his hand. It was a long, straight blade, with intricate designs on the handle. It started to touch her neck when it was suddenly pulled away. The man yelled as he was thrown onto the ground. Standing before Beau was Gally.
"We have to go," he said. His face had blood dripping down his cheek but he didn't seem to notice. He unlocked the chains holding Beau in and they started to run, out of the facility. They took a few turns, and found themselves on the edge of a cliff. Behind them, more men with guns came out, yelling at them to get back inside. Beau grabbed Gally's hand and the jumped off. As plummeted to the water, she was glad the last of her moments could be lived with Gally.
Beau woke in a cold sweat. She was in her bed and it was still dark outside. Her sheets were strewn about everywhere. She gathered them up and climbed back into bed, realizing the adventure she just had was only a dream. As she lay there, she wished more and more that she could be with Gally forever.
As she walked down the hallway in the school, she looked around for Gally. She spotted him near the end of the hallway with his friends. As she tried to approach, Adzy blocked her path.
"Please move Adzy," Beau said with frustration. She was dying to see Gally and wanted Adzy to leave her alone.
"Why should I?" Adzy asked. He was at least a few inches taller than her, but nowhere near as good looking as Gally. He slicked back his hair today, probably trying to impress her, but he looked worse than ever.
"Because I asked." Beau said, getting more angry with every passing second.
"Make me a deal," Adzy demanded. "Promise that you'll go out with me tonight."
"Fine," Beau replied. She knew she would regret this decision later on, but she needed to get to Gally soon. Adzy stepped out of the way and Beau quickly passed by, making sure to kick him in the shin.
Beau quickly made her way to Gally. "Hey," she said casually. He was near his friends, so she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. "Can I talk to you real quick?"
"Sure," he said as they walked into an empty stairwell. "What do you need?" He asked as soon as they were alone.
"I just wanted to ask you a favor." Beau said. "Would you mind going on a date with me tomorrow?"
He paused a minute before answering. "Sure," he said.
It felt like a weight had been lifted off her heart. She thanked him quickly and walked away, with her heart leaping for joy…
A/N: Well, here's to chapter II of A Tale of True Love*raises can of coke*. This story has gone really far and I'm glad it went well.
