"Joseph??" His voice changes into excitement and hugs me tightly. "Oh my God I haven't seen you in forever, how are you?"
"Oh uh, good but who are you?" I hug back but I get confused on why this stranger hugged me or even acts like he knows me. Did I know this stranger? I look at him closely, he dose seem oddly familiar.
"It's Alex remeber? We were next door neighbors" he let go of me and smiles happily.
"Oh my God, alex?! you grown so much!" I smile and laugh a bit. "How are you?"
"I'm doing great, oh uh this is Eli he is my boyfriend" Alex smiles at me then turns to Eli as he approaches me with his hand to shake mine.
"Hello! it's nice to meet you" he says with a lot of energy.
"Nice to meet you too, I'm Joseph" I smile at Eli . Eli had smokey grey hair with tan skin and freckles, covered his face, his left eye was purple and right eye teal.
"Hey Joesph we should all hang out later, to see what changed," alex smiles at me with his bright smile and Alex had lighter skin then Eli with brown hair, his left eye is pinkish / redish and his right eye was blind with a big scar.
"Yeah sure here" I take out my phone and hands it to him to put his number. He smiles then takes it putting down his number.
"See you later Joesph" he waves and so dose Eli. I smile and wave back at him, I head back to Mya's house and goes up to her room then falls onto her bed.
"Well seems like someone is happy" Mya says smiling then sits on the bed. I sat up to face her and I smiled.
"Yeah I saw my old neighbor, and we are going to hang out later, like I haven't seen anyone that I known since i was young besides Tont but stuff happened and yeah." I keep smiling then goes through my clothes finding something to wear.
"Well that's good, mainly because your happy now" she hugs me then goes down stairs to the kitchen. I put on just some ripped skinny jeans, a white t shirt, and a dark blue Jean jacket. I text Alex and asked where we going to meet up at.
*Text messages*
Me- "Hey where we gonna meet up?"
Alex- "At the mall, I'm going alone since Eli is going to be busy with something"
Me- "Okay see you there"
Alex- "or I can pick you up"
Me- "okay I will send you my adress," I hang up then texts my adress to him. A few hours pass by and it turns 5 o' clock, I wait for him outside. I see a gray car pull up then I expected Alex to come out but a guy in a mask then grabs me by the arm forcefully and pulls me into the back seat. "who the hell are you?!" A guy in the front also wore a mask then drives off, I look to the guy next to me then he puts a mask over me head and makes me pass out. I heard some voice before I fully loss consciousness.
Voice 1 - "I think he is nocked out now"
Voice 2 - "Alright" he laughs.
The gray car soon parks next to Alex's car, their car windows weren't that dark to block to see from what's inside and Alex's turns his head to the car and sees my body laying there. He calls me to cancel on the plan but sees the phone turn on and realizes it's me, the car soon starts to drive again. Alex follows them slowly from behind so they don't notice him following them, they soon pull up to a abonded house and drags my body inside I slowly wake up and they throw me onto the floor of the house, one of them closes the door and blocks it. Alex parks his car a bit fat from where they did and be gets out then goes to the house.
Both guys smile at me.
Guy 1; "Well what do we got here" he starts to take off his hoodie and so dose the other guy. Then they both take off their mask, they were both very young around 18 and a structured face.
"W-w-what do you guys want from me?" I say slowly back out in fright and my voice shakes a bit.
Guy 2; oh nothing much. He goes behind me and stops me from backing out then slowly tries to take off my jacket.
Alex tries to open the door but something blocks it. He goes around the house trying to find a way in and finds a door in the back which was locked.
"S-s-stop" I try pulling away and he pulls me back. Then he grabs my arms and throws me at the wall, I catch myself with my arms but the other guy turns me around then pins me against it.
Guy 1; "This will be quick but can't promise it won't hurt." he laughs again. They start to take off more off of me and themselves. Alex tries opening the back door but he couldn't, then he backs out and slams his body agaisnt the door and breaks it. The guys hear it then one of them checks what it was putting his boxers back on while the other continues.
Alex; "Joseph!" he yells and grabs apart of the door to use as a weapon and the guy sees him and tries to look for his gun. Alex soon sees him and the guy find his gun he turns and Alex slams the wood agaisnt him and the guy falls back onto the floor. His nose slowly bleeds a drop comes out and falls onto the floor, the guy tries to get but Alex pushes him down and hits him with his fist nocking him out.
"S-s-stop! please! it hurts!" I yell from the room I was in with the other guy, i cry my eyes filled in tears then before i got any time to react. Alex hits the guy on the head with the wood nocking him out also, I fall onto the groun in tears seeing the guy's body on the floor and looking up at alex.
Alex; "shh your safe now" he hugs me and I look at the door and I see the guy standing there with the gun pointing at Alex. He gets ready to shoot but I turn my body so I cover him and the guy shoots me instead, his shot goes deep near my back and arm. My eyes widen and my body slowly shuts down, Alex gets up and hits the guy before he can shot again. I lay on the floor my mind blank and my body slowly shutting down the bullet keeps going and blood flows a bit out my body.
Alex; "Joesph everything is going to be find stay strong keep trying to stay awake" he puts my boxers on and picks up with my clothes ontop of me. He hurries to his car then wraps my shirt tightly against the bullet hole to stop it from bleeding, I look around my mind slowly fading away my heart beat slows and I hear alex voice fade.
"I'm sorry" I say lastly then closes my eyes. Alex drives faster to the hospital and they take me in which took a few minutes to get there, and for them to take me into the emergency room to have surgery to take out the bullet. it felt like a couple of seconds but it took hours and I finally woke up my eyes slowly opening.
Mya: "He is waking up" she grabs my hand and smiles at me her eyes in tears.
"W-w-where am I?" I look around and I see Alex,Elli, and a nurse.
Alex: "Your at the hospital, you got shot saving me and I'm grateful for that" he smiles at me and I try to smile back buy couldn't, all the memories hit back and my eyes water a bit.
"T-t-those guys, a-a-are they gone?" I panic a bit and the machine next to me starts to beep a bit louder, my heart races.
Alex; "Yes they are your safe don't panic" rests me down and I nod and my heart slows down.
Mya; "So are you okay they didn't hurt you?" I shake my head and I'm to scared to say anything that happened. "Okay we will go back home tomorrow morning, get some rest," she smiles at me and kisses my forehead. I nod and they sat down getting comfortable to sleep on the chairs. I was glad I had them as friends these are the only family I had, I look at the ceiling then my eyes slowly close and everything turns black. I start to have a nice dream but slowly the gun shots and everything that had happened to me my parents car accident, the fire, the shots, the men. It all hit me at once and I start panicking in my sleep my heart race racing quickly and all I heard was the nurses yelling "Get a doctor hurry!"....
