Her Saving Grace I Would Have More Luck Finding Nemo Than Mr. Right
Kayla's POVThe weekend had passed and now today was Monday. It was the end of the day and Jasmine and I were walking to her house. I had promised Carson at school that I was going to come to his house at 6 o'clock so he could continue with his tutoring.Right now, Jasmine had invited me to her house to help her pick out an outfit for Saturday night. She and her family had a dinner party at her aunt's house. Lucas and Kevin said that they didn't want a part in that. They said that they would be bored to death watching Jasmine try on different clothes over and over again. They also didn't want to suffer through the agony of listening to us talking about clothes.I had known that they wouldn't want to come. Jasmine and I had only been teasing them by asking them to tag along. I smiled to myself as I remembered the expression on their faces. Jasmine lives ten minutes from school, so we were there quickly.When we got to Jasmine's house, we saw that no one was home. Jasmine's mom was at w

WARNING: A small amount of abusive content!******A day has passed and now today was Wednesday. I was a little nervous today, because Mr. Malcolm had said we would be given a quiz in maths class. I know that I've been working with Carson on my maths, but there was still a far way to go.I reached maths class ten minutes before the bell rang to practice some problems that I have trouble with before the test. And believe me, I had trouble with a lot of them.I was spinning the pages of my book frantically in frustration and sighing heavily when Carson walked in. He sat down beside me and chuckled at my frantic behaviour. The problems on the pages started to make my head hurt.Carson who was still watching me, continued to chuckle. I finally look up to glare at him. "I'm glad that you are finding my frustration amusing." I said sarcastically.That made him laugh more. "Are you aware that it doesn't make any sense cramming before a test?" He lifted his eyebrows questioningly at me."I ca

I was soaked from head to toe.My entire body was shivering from the clothes that clung to my body and my hair was wet.I was now sheltering under the last bus stop that was near the school. I can't believe it, as soon as I was near school, the rain caught me.Okay, I said to myself. I have to leave this bus stop, if I have any intention of reaching school on time.I took a deep breath and ran as fast as I could, this time I didn't stop until I reach the school's door. I opened the door quickly and head straight for the bathroom.When I was in the bathroom, I wring my hair dry and used the paper towel that was in the bathroom to dry off. It was not much use because I was completely wet.I looked at myself and sighed. I definitely can't go to class like this. I left the bathroom and walked to Jasmine's locker. Hopefully, she has some extra clothes in her locker to lend me. I knew for sure that I didn't have any.I was glad when I saw Jasmine at her locker getting her books. She turned

It was now Saturday and I was at the cafe. It was just a few minutes to six and for the moment, business was slow. There hadn't been any customers for the passed half and hour and the small amount that were in here had already gotten served. Because I didn't have anything to do, I made myself busy with the task of wiping down the counter.I was finished and had just washed my hands, when the bell over the door indicated a new customer. I looked up at the person and saw that it was Carson. He came into the cafe and sat at a booth near the window. I took up my ordering pad and walked over to him."Hi Carson. What can I get you?" I asked, when I reached where he sat.Carson looked up at me with a surprise expression. He then smiled, but it wasn't a full smile. "I didn't remember that you work here." He said, then looked down adding. "I don't want anything. I just came here to sit down.""Okay then." I studied him. Carson wasn't himself at all. It was obvious that something was on his min

On Sunday afternoon, I was ready to go to the concert where Kevin was going to perform, but I was in my room pacing the floor. Allan was in the living room at this current moment. I heard bottles clanging together, so I knew he was drinking. That means he will be down there for a long time, until he's knocked out.I looked at my watch once again. It was 2:20pm. Kevin's concert started at 3:00pm and if I didn't leave soon, I will not be able to make it. I didn't want to call Kevin and tell him I couldn't make it. I know that he would be really disappointed.A crazy thought came into my mind and I walked over to my bedroom window. Maybe I could sneak out through there. I opened my window and look down. Instantly, I discarded that idea. What was I even thinking? It was a long way down and there was nothing beside the house to help me down. I could get seriously hurt.I closed the window and began to pace the floor again. You need to think of something, Kayla...Ten minutes later, I was s

Today was Wednesday and I was at the cafe. Miranda had called me right after school and asked if I could come by the cafe for two hours. I didn't mind because I could do with the extra money.It was now five thirty and time for me to leave. Carson had asked me to come to his house at six thirty so he can continue helping me with maths. I clocked out and left the cafe. I decided to go to the nearby mall to explore until it was time to go to Carson's house.I walked through the entire mall and after half an hour of checking out every store, I was ready to leave. I left the mall quickly and walk to Carson's house.Twenty minutes later, I was ringing the doorbell. Once again, the maid, Ms. Nordia answered the door."Oh hello." She said, when she saw me. "If you're here to see Carson, I'm afraid he is not here.""Where is he?" I asked, as I check the time. It was almost six thirty. He knew I was coming at six thirty.Ms. Nordia shook her head. "I don't know." Just then, I saw Mrs. Knight c

The following day, I did not see Carson at school. I hadn't seen him in the hallways or at any of the classes that we have together. I was starting to think that he wasn't at school.I was now at my locker getting my books for my last class. My back was turn, so I didn't see when someone came up behind me."Hey." I heard a voice say and I turn around quickly, while my books fell to the floor. I look up into the face of a smiling Carson."Carson, you moron. You scared me half to death." I scold him. I bend to pick up my books off the floor, then look back at his face, studying him. "Are you okay?" I finally asked."Yes I am." He answered waving away my concern. "I actually wanted to see you to tell you thanks for what you did last night." He scratched the back of his neck and grin sheepishly. "I don't remember much, but I know enough based on the blurred parts from what I actually remember and also from what Michael told me.""It was no problem." I replied, hugging the books to my ches

WARNING: Abusive content!!******"Eric is keeping a party on Friday. Are you going?" Jasmine asked me the following week in English class."I don't know, Jaz. I have to think about it." I said, looking across at her. The teacher had given us a task to do and was currently at his desk grading papers."Come on. It will be fun." She said, then smiled mischievously. "Maybe Carson will be there."I frown at her. "What does Carson have to do with me?" I asked."You're into him. I know you would want to see him." She replied smiling."I don't know what you are seeing, but I'm not into him." I replied firmly."Sure you are. You guys went to the fair together last week. That must mean something." She stated. "Kayla, you're my best friend, I know you. But if you don't want to accept it yet, I understand."I rolled my eyes at Jasmine's weird theory. "Whatever you say, Jasmine. Okay, I'll go." Jasmine smile at me and went back to her work. I shook my head and continued my work also.After lunch,

Her Saving Grace Epilogue 2
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
Her Saving Grace Chapter 76
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,
Her Saving Grace Chapter 72
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
