Amber's POVs
The bell rings, it's time to go home. I can't wait. After a few minutes I received a message from an unknown number, he said;
"Hi meet me at the rooftop ASAP, there was a store room and I'll be waiting for you in there, Noah"
What, why does he message me with this number? But I'll try to make sure that it was him so I call his number but his phone was off, oh maybe his phone is out of battery as always so he borrowed someone's phone. So I decided to go straight to the rooftop, I wonder why he suddenly asked me to go there from out of nowhere.
I walked through the corridor towards the lift but there was a sign that the lift is out of service so I had to walk climbing the stairs, it was gonna be so tiring but I'm curious about what is he up to. Let's find out.
The sky is gloomy, the sun were hiding behind the clouds, the thunder rumble, the wind rush across the trees beside the building, and finally the rain patter against the windows. Ugh for sure I'm gonna be wet once I'm inside the store room because at least I have to walk or maybe run a few steps towards the store room to avoiding me getting so wet since it was raining outside.
After my breath is almost finished because of too many stairs that I've been climbing, I finally reach my destination, but not yet. I still have to fight the rain and run towards the store room that is isolated at the corner of the rooftop, that is such a small room, what is he doing in there, so weird.
I run as fast as I can with my bag covering up my head, it looks like I had to make sacrifices just to get in that such a tiny room. I finally reach the front door and hurry up to open the door before my body drenches with water.
I pat my wet shirt and wet hair, and when I called
"Noah"
Suddenly, someone strikes me from behind, covering up my nose and my mouth so aggressively. I couldn't breathe and I smell something strange aroma, it was an ether-like odor and a slightly sweet taste.
It hits my brain and I begin unconscious and fell on the floor but still, I tried my best to call my unconscious mind to stay awake and keep my eyes open I couldn't even see clearly, my vision is blurry but I see someone running through the door in hurry after snatching my bag too and run away with it then locked the door. But I'm pretty sure that was a girl, it's impossible that Noah is the one who did this to me because she was wearing a skirt that's all I can see from her back, unfortunately, I couldn't see her face and I wonder who is she, and why is she did this terrible thing to me, unbelievable.
After a few seconds, I slowly close my eyes and that was the last thing that I could remember until I woke up and opened up my eyes trying to regain my consciousness. Well but it's not ending yet, because when I'm fully awake, all I can see is darkness and nothing else. And again it is Horrifying that I found myself awakens surrounded by the darkness. In such a tiny room with dust all over my body and my hair after so long I lay down on the floor unconsciously. What am I gonna do here, I grabbed anything around me but I couldn't find my bag, then I remember that girl took it away from me but what does she want from my bag, there was nothing special in there except for my expensive phone from Ethan.
Oh no, it looks like the darkness has finally welcomed back my freaking phobia to come back in and ruin my plan to escape from this shitty room.
My legs are numb and I couldn't get up by myself, my breath is so short, my chest is so tight and I couldn't breathe as always whenever this shit phobia happened to me.
But I won't give up and tried to scream as loud as I can, my heart pounding harder than before, because this time is different, it reminds me of the culprit that caused my trauma and my phobia when I get kidnapped long ago. but I keep trying to stay strong and screaming for help I try to drag my body through the door and bang it as hard as I can, gathering all my power and energy that is still left inside me, but the fact is I have no energy at all, all I have is weakness and I almost gave up until I finally hear one voice from someone that I know very well.
"Amber, are you there?"
"Noah, oh thank God, Noah helps me please let me out of here!"
"Hold on hang in there, I'll open the door but it's locked, let me break the door"
"Hurry!"
After a few times, he tried to break in, and finally, he did it. And luckily he brought a flashlight with him and when I see the light during my phobia attack, I feel so relieved afterward.
"Amber, oh my God what happened, who did this to you?"
"Oh thank God, Noah you're here I feel relieved, I had no idea who did this to me but I'm pretty sure that it was a girl but I couldn't see her face, made me unconscious by covering up my nose, and mouth using a handkerchief with some strange thing that causing my unconsciousness"
"It's alright, you're safe now I'll deal with her whoever that is, but now let me get you out of here"
"Yes please, thank you"
He carried me with his strong arms and kiss my forehead with the sweetness of his heart. I couldn't thank them enough for him who always rescues me every time, and this was the third time I'm so grateful for that.
We went to his car and he looks so worried.
"Let's go to the hospital, I'll make sure that you are okay"
"No no, just send me back home"
"No, I have to make sure that the thing you inhale isn't dangerous for you, we don't know what it is, I don't want you to get sick or something"
I hold one of his hands to calm him down with my soft voice, his hand is so cold.
"Noah, it's alright I'm okay now I am perfectly fine, you should go home too it's late, and let me go home please, I'm scared that my Nana will be worried about me, it's too late. And we have another exam tomorrow, I just need some rest that's it"
"Alright, I'll send you home and I'll make sure that I'm gonna find out who dare did this thing to my girl, I will never let go of her and I will avenge who did this to you, but why did you go there?"
"Because you asked me to, so I go there to meet you, you said that you have a surprise for me and you were waiting over there so I came"
"But how I didn't even have my phone I have no idea where it is, I lost it at school"
"I received a message on my phone from an unknown number, but it's written your name underneath so I thought it was you"
"Hell no, how could you believe that so easily, you can't do that next time!"
"At first I don't believe it but then I try to call and text you but your phone is off so I thought you borrowed someone's phone to text me because your phone is dead as usual"
"Oh yeah, you are right, do you know how I found you here?"
"Yes, that's what I wanted to ask, how?"
"It's because of your text on my WhatsApp, after school, I was looking for you, I try to contact you but my phone is disappearing, so im looking for you at your class but you weren't there, I ask Emma where you were usually going, she told me that you're always going to the library but I couldn't found you there, so I thought that you go home or working your side job, I even check to the coffee shop where you work but your boss said that you didn't come for work and your phone is also unreachable, so I come to your home and your Nana doesn't even know where you at and she couldn't contact you either, then I come back home I opened up my laptop and check my WhatsApp, thank God it still logged in there and I received your text but I don't get it what you mean you asked me something weird so I call you but your phone is still off, then I feel something's odd, so I'm curious about your message you said in the first message Noah, did you message me just now? Why the store room, it doesn't look like you who like fancy places, Second one, if yes I'll come to the rooftop but the lift is out of service so I take the stairs and wait 5 minutes. Those messages lead me to come here because I'm curious why are you text me that and suddenly disappear"
"Oh Noah, I can't believe you are such a caring person, thank you, Noah you're always there when I need the most, I can't thank you enough"
"Don't worry as long as you are with me, I'll never let bad things happen to you, and I'll find this person and make her kneel under your feet and beg for your forgiveness!"
"Noah, it's alright"
"No, it's not okay at all"
"Now go home and have some rest, I'm okay now"
"Alright, you go inside then I'll go"
"Okay, good night Noah and thank you for today"
"It's alright good night, Wait, hold on"
He pulled my hand and grab my shoulder.
"Don't you ever make me worried again, you're special to me"
He hugged me so tight that my bones feel like it's going to break. And he slowly let go of me, looking me in the eyes, and smile then he pressed his cool lips delicately to my forehead, and the car feels like spinning. The smell of his breath made it impossible to think. I don't feel so scared anymore yet I feel so comfortable and safer.
