Her Saving Grace Chapter 47
When Carson and I had started college a year and a few months back, Carson had rented an apartment near his college. He had said that he rather have an apartment than stay in the dorms, which I totally understood. It's better when you have your own space and privacy than to be sharing a room. Of course, renting an apartment was no big deal. His father paid for the rent and he has been living there since he started school.His apartment wasn't far from my college either, so it only took half an hour to get there by cab. I have been here so many times that I've gotten used to the neighbourhood. Carson lived in a quiet neighbourhood; he loves it here and so do I. I got out of the car and walked into the building. I walked down the corridors and stop at his room door. I lightly rap my knuckles on the door continuously. After the second set of knocking, the door swung open and before I could get a word out or think, Carson pulled me inside and brought me close to him. A surprised breath l

At the end of my last class of the day, I went to sit on one of the benches under the big tree with a book in my hand. This book was one of my favourites. I had read it already and was now rereading it. I was occupying my time until Jasmine's final class finishes, which was in fifteen minutes. We were going to grab something to eat at the Deli down the street. Kevin and Lucas were going to meet us there. This was something we did every Friday after classes."Harry Potter huh?"I turn around from my book to the sound of the voice and saw that it was Travis. I was so caught up in the book that I didn't notice him walking up behind me."Hey, Travis." I greeted. "What's up?""Well, I saw you over here sitting and since I don't know anyone else yet, I decided to come over." He replied. "Mind if I sit down?""No, not at all." Travis walked around and sit on the bench opposite me. He took up the book that I rested on the table earlier and read the title out loud. "'Harry Potter and the Death

Carson's POV"What are you doing?" I ask Jayden, who was staring in front of him and smiling creepily for the past two minutes.My friends and I were in a bar that we regularly go to. We've been here since 5 o'clock playing pool, having drinks and simply just hanging out. I don't drink as much as I used to anymore though. I will only have one drink or sometimes two.Larry, the bartender and owner of the bar was in his forties, but he was really cool. He didn't mind selling us drinks even though we were only twenty years old. He always says that we seem like good youths, who wouldn't cause trouble. So we've been coming here ever since we came to New York."I'm trying to seduce that girl over there," Jayden replied to my earlier question, not taking his eyes from in front of him.I turn around to look at who he was referring to. We were sitting at the counter of the bar, having a beer and the girl was in the corner of the bar, sitting beside the pool table. I lifted my eyebrows in quest

I woke Saturday morning to the sound of Carson's house phone ringing. I sat up in the bed and that was when I heard the shower running.Stretching for the phone that was on the nightstand, I picked it up and put it to my ear. "Hello.""Hi, Darling! How are you doing?" I heard Marilyn's familiar voice on the other end.Instantly, a genuine smile came over my face. "Hi, Marilyn. I'm doing great. How are you?""I'm great as well. It's good to hear your voice." She said."It's always good to hear from you too," I said sincerely. After a while we started to catch up, talking about any and everything.Marilyn had become like a mother to me and I missed her so much. She would always check up on me and have that motherly love and care as if I was her daughter. I'm really grateful to her and I'm glad for the bond that we have."Where's Carson?" She asked after a while."He's in the shower," I informed her."Okay, I'll call him later." She said, then added. "Talk to you a next time. I've got to

"So, how would you tell what blood group this is?" Travis asked, looking at what I was doing intently.Travis had told me that he hasn't reached this far at his previous college and he wasn't here as yet when Mrs. Harriot had done it with us. So, he had asked me to explain it to him.I indicated the three test tubes that were placed on the table as I spoke. "In this test tube, there is an anti-A antibody, in this one, anti-B and the other is a control solution. I'm going to add the blood to each." I then tip a drop of the blood into the three test tubes.We observe each test tubes to see whether the red blood cells have agglutinated or simply settled to the bottom. Soon, we noticed that in the test tube containing the anti-A antibody, the blood has settled to the bottom. There was no reaction in the other two test tubes.I turn to Travis with a look of satisfaction. "This means that this blood type is A.""How so?" He asked."Because the red blood cells match with the A antigens." I p

Carson's POVI pocketed my phone as soon as I sent the last text to Kayla and took out my car keys. I began to twirl in the keys in my hands as I walked over to my car that was in the parking lot.As I neared my car, I noticed that someone was leaning against it with their arms crossed. I narrowed my eyes at the person as I got closer. I felt anger rise in me as I saw that the person was none other than Oliver Ross."How did you know which college I go to?" I asked in annoyance as soon as I was standing in front of him.Oliver chuckled. "I have my ways. Don't worry about that.""What do you want?" I demanded, losing my patience."You know exactly what I want, so let's cut to the chase shall we?" He asked as he removed himself from my car and stand up straight."You wasted your time because my answer is still the same," I replied."There is a fighting arena just a half-hour drive from here. That is where I fight now." Oliver went on as if I hadn't spoken. "Meet me there for one match a

"Thanks, Travis, I didn't notice that I left it," I said to Travis as I took my textbook from him.As soon as my final class for the day ended, Carson had texted me, telling me that he was in the parking lot. I left the lecture hall in a hurry, not noticing that I left my textbook. Travis caught up to me halfway across the parking lot to give it to me."No problem," Travis replied. "I'll see you on Monday. Have a good weekend.""Thanks and you too," I replied. Travis smiled at me brightly. "Okay bye." I wave at him before turning around."Bye," Travis said as I walk away from him. I scan the parking lot quickly and I notice Carson's car near the entrance. He stood outside his car waiting for me. I smiled and waved at him as I walked in the direction in which he parked his car.Since I won't be going to the cafe with my friends this week, Carson had promised that he would pick me up at school and take me with him to a bar. Well, I practically begged to go with him as I wanted to do som

Kayla's POVI looked at the necklace that Carson gave me around my neck in the mirror. It rests beside my mother's locket. It was really beautiful. I love it and I will always wear it."That's pretty." I heard Jasmine say from across the room. She was currently laying on her bed reading a book. She didn't have an early class today."Yeah, it is." I agreed. I turn from the mirror and face her. "Carson gave it to me on Friday. He bought it for me on Valentine's Day."Jasmine smiled. "That's sweet."A smile of my own appeared on my face as I rub my hand over the pendant. "Yes, it is." I agreed. Then I turned away from the mirror and took up my school bag. "I'm going to class now. See you later.""Bye," Jasmine said. I took up my phone and room key and left our room.••••••After I had my last class of the day, Jasmine and I were sitting under the trees on one of the many benches that decorated around our campus. Jasmine, who has a class in twenty minutes, was on her laptop, finishing up

Five Years Later"Congratulations, dear!" Aunt Eloise expressed as she hugged me tightly. "I'm so proud of you.""Thanks, Aunt Eloise," I responded. After she pulled away from the hug, my cousins, Stephanie and Harry hugged me and expressed congratulations as well.It was a hot day in May and the campus at Colombia University was buzzing with graduates, participants and family members. As my cousins and I talked, I looked around me at the crowd of people chatting and laughing. As I scanned the crowd, I spotted Carson and his parents talking. A little away from them were Carson's friends who came to support me. We had become very close friends as well.My attention then came to the snack table where my friends were. Eli, Tracy and Lucas' girlfriend, Rebecca were there as well. They were all with me earlier and we took a lot of pictures, but they left after to find the snack table.My graduation ceremony was a long but great one and I was glad that I had family and friends to come to see

Kayla's POVAfter leaving the police station where we gave our statements, Carson, his friends and I journeyed back home. Carson drove me to his apartment when we were back in our home town.When we got inside, Carson turned to me. "Are you hungry?" He asked.I shook my head. "No," I answered. Food was the last thing on my mind. I was still shaken up from the day's events and all I wanted to do was sleep and forget about it. At the same time, I couldn't help but think about Lilly's involvement. I really couldn't believe she would do that to me. I thought she was my friend."Is everything okay?" I heard Carson ask bringing me from my thoughts. He must have noticed the expression on my face.I walked over to the couch and sat down. "I'm just thinking about what Lilly did. I never expected it. Where was she by the way? Will the police catch her?" I asked. The police had caught everyone involved in the kidnapping except for Lilly. She was an accessory and there was no way she was going to
Her Saving Grace Chapter 75
Kayla's POVI didn't sleep for most of the night. I couldn't. Every noise I heard outside of the door kept me alert. Aside from being fearful of what might happen, I cried, prayed and hoped that Oliver wasn't going to actually do what he said. I really hope that he only said that to scare me.But deep down I knew he meant it.The cold murderous look in his eyes when he said it told me that he was serious and there is nothing that I can do or say will change that.After my thoughts calmed down, at some point around three o'clock, I drifted off the sleep.I woke up the next morning to the sound of the room door banging against the wall. I looked up to see the guy who Oliver had called Ethan walking inside the room with a rope in his hands. I sat up quickly, my eyes flickering across the room trying to find a place to run, but of course, there wasn't.He reached over to me in quick strides and pulled me up. He dragged me to the chair in the room and plopped me down to sit. He then tied u
Her Saving Grace Chapter 74
Kayla's POVA day has passed since I was taken captive. I still don't know what's going on and apart from a guy coming inside the room to give me sandwiches to eat yesterday and today, I haven't seen anyone come to the room to do anything to me.I honestly didn't know how I felt about that. One part of me was grateful that no one came to the room and another part of me was on edge, nervously waiting for something bad to happen. After all, these people were bad. They all had guns and looked very dangerous.It was late in the evening when I heard the creaking of the door as it opened. I looked up expecting Oliver or any of the other men but was surprised instead. Entering through the doorway of the room was the last person I expected to see. In fact, I had to blink twice to make sure I wasn't just imagining her."What are you doing here, Lilly?" I asked, shocked and confused at the same time."Hello, Kayla." She said quietly, ignoring my question. She took a few steps closer until she w
Her Saving Grace Chapter 73
Carson's POVFor the entire night, I didn't sleep. After Jasmine left to try and get in touch with her classmates to find out if they knew where Kayla was, I left my apartment and went to Micheal's. I told him what I thought had happened to Kayla and with Jayden and Jordan joining us, we drove around for about an hour to see if she was on the streets. Eli had suggested he'll help in the search so we all took different areas to drive through.We didn't have any luck.It didn't help that we didn't have special places to check because Kayla didn't have a regular place that she would visit. So we were just checking streets and neighbourhoods. But she wasn't anywhere to be found.This allowed for my suspicion to grow even more; she was definitely taken.Jasmine had called me earlier to let me know that none of her friends had seen her since she left school and they had no idea of her whereabouts. She also let me know that she had notified the police. They were doing everything they could,

Kayla's POVThey were driving for a long time and more than an hour had passed when they finally stopped. I looked through the window to see a big, old building. It was noticeably painted grey even though it was stripping all over. The front door that was painted red was also peeling off. Some of the windows were broken and by its general look, it didn't look like a building that was being used.I didn't have time to wonder why they were stopping here because both guys pulled their doors and came out. The one in the passenger seat opened the back seat where I was and gestured to me. "Get out."I stepped from the car and instantly, he grabbed my hand roughly. He then forced me to move and we walked towards the door. The other guy opened the door and we entered. The inside of the building was just as old and run-down as the outside but it wasn't dusty as expected. Leading me through the room we were currently in, they went through a few more hallways and doors before we reached a room w
Her Saving Grace Chapter 71
Kayla's POVIt was Friday, the day Jasmine and I were supposed to meet Kevin and Lucas at our usual cafe after our class. However, I had informed them that I was going to Carson's apartment after class, so they were going without me. It was a norm for us to meet up and I didn't want them to cancel because I won't be there.When my last class ended, I noticed Jasmine outside my classroom waiting on me. We were planning on walking together as the cafe was in the same direction as the bus stop. I finished putting my books into my bag and left the classroom. Jasmine and I walked towards the college gates and turned right down the street.We kept up conversation as we walked the short distance to the bus stop and we were there in less than two minutes. When we reached the bus stop, Jasmine and I stopped. "Well, good luck at Carson's," Jasmine said as she began to walk away to continue her journey."Thank you," I said, nodding my head. However, I was hesitant because there were so many thou
Her Saving Grace Chapter 70
Carson's POVWhen Kayla left my apartment yesterday, it took a long while to realize what happened. Even now, I still can't believe it. When I had invited Kayla to come over, I never expected the situation to turn out the way it did. If I had known, I would have handled the situation so much better.In a way, I couldn't blame her. If she didn't want to be with me because she thought I was obsessed with Oliver or maybe she didn't want to be a target because of the danger that surrounds me; I get it. I wasn't upset with her. The only people I was angry with was myself and Oliver. Maybe she was right. Maybe I didn't think this through and thought hard enough for another plan.I take a deep sigh as I opened my car door and entered the driver's seat. I sat there for a while and take another calming breath. I guess this is how it should be. I love her so much and I would do anything to protect her. If us breaking up is the only way to accomplish that, then I have to live with it. Even thoug

"Hey, I didn't think you'd be back so soon," Jasmine said as I walked through our dorm room. However, my mind was elsewhere and I didn't respond to her question. Noticing this, she looked at me and frowned. "Hey, what's wrong?"I finally looked in her direction. "Jasmine, I screwed up," I answered without hesitation, my voice sounded strained.Jasmine closed the book that she was reading and sat back on her bed. "Kayla, what happened?" She questioned concerned, giving me her full attention.I walked over to her bed and sat down beside her. "It's over between Carson and I." I began before going into further details, telling her everything that happened at Carson's."Oh, Kayla, I'm so sorry," Jasmine said quietly when I was done."I honestly don't know why I said those things. He was just trying to protect me from Oliver. He was making sense, but I was being irrational, unreasonable and refused to listen." I rest my head in my hand and sighed deeply remembering the look on Carson's face
