Chapter 51
Drew
"Are you sure about this?" Sharon and my sister asked standing at the entrance of my room
"Yup" I answered as I added more clothes to my suitcase
"You'll be careful, won't you?"
"Of course"
I opened my arms for a group hug. They came and embraced me
"I'll be back I promise"
Sharon wiped her tears. She was acting as if I was going for war
"Bring Bella back too"
"Sure"
"We'll go downstairs to make breakfast, come on baby" they both left the room
I continued packing the things I needed. I paused when I saw an incoming face time call on my phone
It was from Leslie, she was aware of everything that was happening including our plan
"Hey" I said
Leslie, Tiffany, Amber and Stephanie appeared on screen
"Hi Drew" they greeted waving
"What's up?"
"We just wanted to wish you good luck" Leslie said
"Stay safe and bring our friend back" Amber added
I chuckled. They're making me feel like a super hero going for a mission to save the world
"We'll try our best" I said
"Is josh home?" Leslie asked
"Yeah I guess"
The girls giggled.
"Oh okay"
"What time is your flight?" Tiffany asked
"In about three hours"
"Alright then"
"Thanks guys. I really appreciate it"
"You're welcome"
"Take care"
I waved to them and hung up the call. I continued the until I heard a voice behind me
"What great friends she has"
Oh my days. What is she doing here? I turned to face Madison
"How do you know where I live?"
"I have my sources. Your mom's pretty nice by the way"
She walked freely across my room as if she regularly comes here
She stopped at a picture of Bella and I in a heart frame
"Is it bad if I wish she wouldn't be rescued" she said maliciously
"Why would you say that?"
She faced me, anger glistening in her eyes
"She took you away from me even after I told her how much I like you"
"She didn't take me away from you. Besides, I was never yours in the first place"
"You were about to be"
"Bella and I had been dating way before you came into the picture. I've only known you for like a week. Calm the fuck down"
She sighed
"You're right. I'm sorry. I just have attachment issues especially when I like someone"
"You need help. You can't go on claiming people like this"
"I know. I heard your conversation on your call. I hope you bring her back"
"I'm not doing this alone. I'm going with my friends"
It felt weird saying the word 'friends'
"That's really nice of you all. I wish you the best"
"Thanks"
With that being said she smiled at me and left the room.
I looked at the picture of me and Bella on the wall
Hold on baby. We're coming for you
Josh
I packed my bags nervously. This is the first time I'm leaving the comfort of my house going on a trip for something that doesn't please me
What surprised me was the knock on
My door. Who could that be?
I went to open it. It was Leslie. I smiled at her, all my nervousness seemed to vanish at the sight of her
"Hey" I greeted
"Hi"
"Please come in"
She came in and I closed the door.
"So what brings you here?" I asked
"Drew told me everything. I came here to wish you good luck"
"You could have done that on the phone instead of stressing yourself coming over here"
Her cheeks turned red
"I wanted to"
I held her hands looking straight into her eyes
"When I come back, I promise I'm going to take you on a date. I liked you the first day I saw you. I really want to know you better"
"Me too"
It was a spur of the moment, I leaned down and connected my lips to hers
The kiss was short and sweet. I pulled away and smiled at her
Yup I'm definitely coming back for this girl
Bella
"Do you like it?" The stylist asked me
I looked at myself in the mirror. Damien brought me a stylist to try on a few wedding gowns on me
"Yeah I do" I lied
The gown was beautiful no doubt but it was ugly at the same time because of the occasion
"So its settled then, your wedding is tomorrow. Its not going to be a big event just for the priest to bless you"
"You don't say"
I wasn't interested to say the least. I was plotting ways to run away and this lady is telling me irrelevant stuff
Oh Drew, where are you?
Drew
"Are you sure we aren't going to crash" I asked
This is my first time of being on a plane so I was really scared
We were in Gerald's private jet.
"Calm down" Gerald tried to assure me
The plane started moving preparing for take off. I clutched my seats as hard as I could..
Josh laughed at me. James paid us no attention, he was working on his laptop tying to get more info on how to find them
My heart sank into my stomach when the plane took off.
"Are we dead yet?" I asked closing my eyes
"No"
I opened them. We were in the sky. The view was so beautiful
Buildings looked like tiny toys from up here. I felt a lot better
"You'll be fine" Josh said
"Thanks"
"You scared?" Gerald asked
"I'm better now"
"No about the plan. Do you think we'll find them"
I took a deep breath. I had doubts myself but I'm hoping for the best
"I hope so"
"Me too "
"We should rest" Josh said "Paris is quite far"
That's what I did. I drifted into a deep sleep. Thoughts of my girlfriend filled my mind
**
We arrived at the hotel. I can't believe I had one room to myself
I thanked Gerald and Josh over a thousand times. This is my first time of being to a place like this
Paris is a beautiful place. I wish we came here under different circumstances
"I've found their exact location but the security's tight" James said
"Where is it?" We asked curiously
"Christie international real estate. House 4!"
We all jumped in happiness except Gerald
"What's wrong?" We asked
"Why aren't you happy?" Josh said
"That address sounds familiar"
He typed on his phone for a while and gasped
"That's where Damien lives"
