The Kidnapper
Chapter 7 - Home
*The Next Day*
I hear a beeping in my ears and my eyes open slowly, but I squinted for a second for my eyes to adjust to the bright ceiling lights.
I remember running towards the bus station and then...nothing.
When I'm able to open my eyes all the way, I want to get up and hug them all. It's my mother, my father and...Rebecca, Emma and Maria.
"Mom"
I weakly say before she runs over to me and cups my face in her hands. Sometimes she can be a little over-dramatic.
"What did he do to you?"
My mother asks with a tear rolling down her face. I want to wipe it away and tell her that I'm okay, because I am now.
My parents; Mary and Adam Vanderbilt. My mother is a professional nurse at a mental institute and my father used to be in the Army and is now a police officer.
"I'm okay"
I say softly and curve my lips into a smile. Suddenly, I feel weird and tired again, but I try to speak and apparently, I'm mumbling the same thing over and over.
"Nothing lasts forever,"
And my eyes suddenly close.
That evening I dreamt of Harry and his eyes, like emeralds. I dreamt of that night at the club and how my friends abandoned me.
*3 hours later*
I wake up to see Maria, Rebecca and Emma again gathered around the tv in front of me like they're hypnotized or something.
They didn't even notice me as I sit up carefully and joined them when I heard my name.
"This is Amy Jackson, reporting that a local, teenage girl, by the name of Catherine Vanderbilt, who was kidnapped for 3 1/2 months, by an unknown gang. She has recently been found and is resting at theSt. Golden Hospital. The family's reward for her return: $95,00 has also been taken down, Back to you John."
The lady was sitting at a large table with a stack of papers that she was reading and then the screen changed to an older man standing with an umbrella and dressed in a trench-coat. He started talking about the weather, but Maria turns the tv off.
She stood up from her seat and sat on the edge of my bed, Emma and Rebecca did the same on the other side.
"Where did you go that night?"
Rebecca asks in a concerned tone
"Why did you leave me?"
I challenge and she looks at me funny
"Do I look like the type of person that would abandon her best friend?"
Maria says loudly and I shake my head. I'm on the brink of crying.
"No."
I say and I burst out with tears rolling down my cheeks. They didn't leave me. I was so drunk that night, i forgot that they had went to dance in the V.I.P. section, because the bouncer had given us tickets.
"I'm so sorry."
I sobbed and she brings me into a tight, warm hug that only your best friend can give.
"What happened?"
Rebecca asks shyly, wanting to know.
"There were six of them and they brought me to this small house in the middle of the woods. Colin, Louis, Zayn, Niall, then there was Liam, he was so sweet...and Harry...he kidnapped me." I discuss and they all looked at me with interested and amazed eyes.
"We're so sorry Catherine. We should have brought u with us."
Emma shouts out with watery eyes.
"It's not your fault."
I explain and she gives me a shy smile.
"Can you guys promise me something?"
I add and they nod their heads,
"Don't tell anyone, what I told you about them. Not even my parents."
"Why?"
Maria asks suspiciously and raises her eyebrow slightly.
"Please, just trust me."
I say, hoping that they'll promise.
Suddenly a nurse barges into the room and announces,
"The doctor confirms your release in the morning."
"We promise."
Maria whispers as she looks at me straight in the eyes as the other girls nod their heads again.
The nurse came back a couple seconds later and was holding the clothes I had worn before. The clothes that they had gotten me.
"Come on girls, it's time to leave."
She ordered and Rebecca touched my shoulder, then they walked in a line out of the door and it closed automatically behind them.
I'm left with my own thoughts now. Maybe if I go to sleep, I'll wake up in my own bed with my dog at my feet and to realize that all of this was a dream...
*8:30am*
My father had came to pick me up that morning about an hour after I woke up and as we left the main entrance, there were cameras in every direction, asking ridiculous questions. Their cameras flashed and flashed, I thought it was never going to end until I got into the passenger seat and father driving away.
Before we drove home, we went through the Drive-through at McDonalds and he orders a Big Mac, a medium fry and a chocolate smoothie for me and my eyes go wide. I could feel the childish smile I always got when I was about to eat. I was surprised at how fast I ate it. The boys had ordered Chinese and Taco Bell almost every night, but it had been forever since I've had McDonalds.
The ride home was slightly long, but when we arrived, it felt different then what I remembered. The house seemed bigger, but I felt safe.
That night, I couldn't fall asleep and I couldn't stop thinking about the boys, about Liam, Harry. What are they doing right now? Are they thinking of me? I'm such a foolish girl.
I lay there, starring at the ceiling, thinking of the nights I spent with them. Thinking how things would be different if I didn't leave the club.
Suddenly, my dog: Augustus jumps onto my bed and crawls to where my feet are, but I call him and he comes right up and lays down in front of me, I saw his big eyes close and I pet his soft fur. Then I began to close mine slowly as well.
