Screams Unheard

His threat makes me stop fighting immediately, and tears start rolling down my face. He takes me to the back of the gym, and from where we are, he keeps watch until I see Jayden approaching the car, looking around in confusion, searching for me. I began crying even harder, and when Bobby removed his hand from my mouth, I thought about screaming, but then I saw him pull a gun from his pocket and aim it at Jayden.

“If you make a sound, I’ll shoot,” Bobby whispered.

I panicked and covered my mouth with my hands so Jayden wouldn’t hear my sobs.

“If you want your lover to live, you’ll come with me now!” Bobby demanded.

He turned me to face him, and my entire body trembled as desperation took over me. I glanced back at Jayden, and even though I knew that if I went with Bobby, I’d never see him again, I was willing to do anything to save him. So, I took one last look at the man I loved and nodded.

“Okay, take me. Do whatever you want with me, but please don’t hurt him!” I begged desperately.
