Hostage

Alicia’s POV

When Zack’s door opened I thought about what I would say to him, what I wanted him to know, but all I thought off vanished when I saw that not Zacky opened the door but his friend Johnny.
He had grabbed my arm and pulled me inside after that he sat me down on the couch and sighed loudly, sitting in the chair opposite of me.
“What is going on? Where is Zack? Doesn’t he want to talk to me?” I asked him confused.
“Listen and listen carefully. Zacky wanted to talk to you, but it’s still too much for him and when he saw Matt here he couldn’t. Don’t be mad at Zack, he is suffering, alright?!”
“Suffering? Why would he be suffering, I mean he broke up? Did he talk to you about it?” I asked Johnny.
He got up and sat back down beside me. “I am not supposed to tell you this, he should do it himself but I can’t stand this Kindergarten behavior anymore. I know my friends will hate me for this but I just have to tell you this.”
Johnny took my hand in his looking at me then narrowing his eyes as if thinking about something.
“Alicia, can you please tell me before I say anything what you feel for Zack?” Johnny asked.
“I thought you wanted to tell me something…” I tried to get him to talk, because I didn’t know how to answer this.
“I can’t tell you… not before you answer me two questions. And the first is what do you feel for Zack?” Johnny asked.
“What is the second question?” I asked with a small smile.
“What do you feel for Matt?” Johnny grinned a little and I rolled my eyes. “What was Question 1 again?” Johnny laughed and I smiled back.

I thought back of all the times I shared with Matt and after that my times with Zack, I thought about my feelings, I saw Johnny looking at me but never pushed me to tell him something, he gave me time…
“Alright, listen… After the abduction I knew I had feeling for Matt but I saw him together with his ex girlfriend Val?! And I thought that he had been fooling me, he said he would be there for me, but he wasn’t… I tried to let go of him and Zack helped me with it. Zacky was there for me, I had a lot of fun with him… but I guess… If I am really honest with you and myself, I never could forget Matt. I wanted to be with him, I guess I fell in love with him when we spend so much time alone during the abduction. But Zacky made everything so easy, he made me feel loved…” I felt tears in my eyes realizing that Zack must have felt miserable, if he noticed any of this, he must feel used but that wasn’t my intention, I never meant to hurt him.
“So Zacky was a friend for you, maybe after all the stress you have mistaken friendship and caring for someone with being in love?” Johnny asked and I nodded tears running down my face.
“And you think you still have feeling for Matt?” Johnny asked again and pulled me to his shoulder and I sobbed.
“I… yes… I…” I sighed. “I’m in love with him…” I cried even more now.
“Then now let me tell you something...”
Someone knocked on the door and Johnny got up and I was hoping it was not Matt, I had to talk to him later, after I confessed everything and was sure now what I felt, thanks to Johnny and the whole situation, I really had to talk to him.
“Hey…” Johnny said and suddenly Caroline stood in the room.
“Oh babe, why are you crying again?” Caroline sat down beside me.
“She confessed that she is in love with Matt.” Johnny said and looked at Caroline.
“I knew it… I tried to tell you this, I knew there was something between you two. Babe, you have to talk to him.” Caroline said and I nodded.
“I know, I will… but I also have to talk to Zacky and apologize.”
“Oh yes, Zacky. He needs some more time, but all the things he said to you that evening, that was not true, Alicia. He realized that Matt had feelings for you and knew that you must have feelings too… so he backed off. He didn’t know how he should make you see so he tried to make you hurt and angry with his words… so you would run to Matt, so Matt could catch you. It worked pretty good by the way.” Johnny explained and I felt even worse.
“He did that because he knew… he…oh no, I have to apologize… I am so sorry. He will never speak to me again…” I couldn’t believe how blind I have been.
“NO, don’t. Alicia, he just wants you to be happy… you and Matt.” Johnny said and another knock sounded on the door, Johnny walked over and opened up.
“Hey Matt… come on in.” Johnny and Matt walked towards us, I saw concern and confusion in his eyes and also something I haven’t realized before, did that really mean that he was in love with me… as I was with him?!

Carl’s POV

“Alright, tomorrow. We will do it tomorrow. Sean gave us the ultimatum until tomorrow right?” I looked over at Will and he seemed lost in thoughts.
“Huh?” Will looked up from his phone.
“The ultimatum is until tomorrow?” I asked again.
“Yeah… but he sent me a message a couple of hours ago, my battery was empty, I just read it… I should call him… What do you think does this mean?”
“Don’t know… call him, maybe he finally came to his senses and will join in with us?” I shrugged.
Wouldn’t matter to me… I would do it with or without help.
I would get Matt, with or without his help… and I would get Matt together with the girl or without it… wouldn’t matter to me… even if I would love to tease him a little with her screams again, they sounded so good in my ears… and then there would be no Sean who would get between us.
I grinned to myself.

“What if he really goes to the police?” Will asked and looked at his phone again.
“He wouldn’t do that… he would also be arrested, he was a part of this, he wouldn’t risk that much, believe me.”
“You think so? He sounded pretty serious the last time I talked to him…” Will said and I rolled my eyes.
“It doesn’t matter, if we just keep our plan and do it tomorrow, then we are out of here anyway, he doesn’t know where we are, or does he? Did you tell your brother something?” I narrowed my eyes at Will.
Will shook his head and looked up to me “No, I didn’t. But you didn’t see him yesterday, I mean… I told him that he would also go to jail, that he was part of it, but… he said something like so be it… he said he would do what was necessary… I think he meant it.”
“Fucking hell, are you getting cold feet? Do you also want to back out? Look at all the plans, here we got everything we need, and all the evidence from the last time, we will pack all the shit up, nobody will know… nobody will find us.”

The doorbell rang and someone knocked as well. “Damn, maybe that is Sean, maybe he really wants to be part of it again, I tell you he changed his mind… the big money is callllling!”
I grinned and walked over to the door, opened up without looking.
“Mr. Carl Thomsen and Mr. William Preston, you are arrested on the charges of abducting and bodily injury as well as attempted rape, you have the right to remain silent, everything you say, can and will be used against you in the court of law...” The police officer grabbed me and another one walked over to Will and pulled him off the couch, more cops came walking in and took in all the things we had spread out on our table, all the evidence, all the plans we made… everything.
“NOOOOOOO!” I yelled and struggled against the hold.
“Don’t also include obstructing an officer in the performanxe of his duties to the list of your offences.” The office behind me handcuffed me and brought me to the police car. I couldn’t believe that this was happening…
“HE WILL PAY FOR THIS!! I WILL MAKE HIM PAYYY!” I yelled and began to struggle again.
Will next to me was silent, he didn’t say anything and didn’t struggle he was already in the car while I still tried to get loose.
If they would get me in the car, it was done… I wouldn’t get out of jail so soon… even if I would try to blame everything on someone else, I wouldn’t get out… but this was not over yet…not over.
