Chapter 20
I started at the bed, feeling numb all of a sudden and almost immediately, I feel nauseous and throw up
just by the wall in the warehouse.
"Hey are you okay?" Scott meets me and Michelle rubs my back and I nod. I look at Beth again as
tears welled up in my eyes. This shouldn't have happened to her. She's just fourteen. I felt a hand on
my shoulder and he gives it a squeeze. A gun clicks behind us and we all turn around to see a lady
standing by the door. She looked like she was my age and she looked Indian or Muslim I don't know.... Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
she just had really long and silky hair.
"Are you the kidnappers? Why did you kidnap this girl?" Scott took a step forward and she points the
gun at him.
"Sco-"
"We should be asking you that question.. are you part of the people who kidnapped her?" He says
coolly, a sneer etched his face.
"This is her sister right here so why did you kidnap her?" She glances at me just for a second and that
gives Scott a chance to come at her but she's too fast and quacks him, making him land on his back.
Hard. Ouch. I rush to him immediately.
"Hey are you okay?" He groans in response and I look up, glaring at the bitch.
"What do you want from me? Why did you kidnap my sister? I don't even know you!"
"Apparently you're not her kidnappers then. Look, my name is Zainab Lawan and I'm a detective for the
police department in Morocco. I came here because of a drug case and we've been looking for one of
the dealers and fortunately, she came this way so I followed her here and when I entered into the
warehouse, I saw the little girl here. When you guys came in, I thought you were part of the kidnappers
but it didn't seem that way but then again, don't judge a book by its cover. I'm sorry though." I knew it.
So she was Muslim. I finally remembered why I was here and so I rushed immediately to Beth.
"I have to go get a car for the girl.. I'll be back soon" and the Zainab lady leaves.
"Beth.... Beth... are you okay? Can you hear me?" Her eyes open for a second but closes again and it
goes on like that.
"Mia? Is that you?" She says so faintly.
"Yes baby it's me.. God, what did they do to you?" I looked at my sister and she couldn't even keep her
eyes open for long. Her eyes open widely and before I know it, she's spilling her guts out by my side..
"Calm down calm down.." I rub her back as she finishes. She cleans her mouth and when she turns to
look at me, it's like she felt better.
"Emilia" she hugs me so hard as she cries into my shirt.
"Beth" I hug her back that way. She finally lets go of me and look behind me then smiles.
"Aunty Michelle and Scott.. my two favorite people" Michelle starts crying and she comes to hug Beth
and Scott just hugs her really tightly.
"I'm so glad you're okay Beth" he says and I smile at that. This was my family right here.
We hear the click of a gun and I look at Beth's face. She looks terrified. I slowly turn back and I see
Taylor with a gun, fear and hatred clearly in her eyes.
"Taylor what are you doing?!" I asked her and she points the gun at me but Scott stands in front of me
immediately.
"Taylor? Calm down... what are you doing?" Scott says and then she starts laughing.
"Wow.. what do they see in you Mia? Like Scott can take a bullet for you? Now that's just amazing!
What does Blake and Scott see in you huh? What do they see?!!!" She yells at me.
"Is this what this is all about? Is that why you are so angry?"
"Yes Emilia.. Yes!! I loved Blake but it seemed he didn't love me back. I loved you Emilia.. I really did
but why did you have to take the one person I honestly loved? He was my one true love Mia and you
took him from me." She says, sounding so broken. I didn't even know Blake ever liked me. I only saw
him as a friend.
"Taylor I never knew Blake liked me.. I ju-"
"Of course! Of course you wouldn't know Mia..... you're always so oblivious to when someone has
feelings for you." She looked so pained.
"Tay I am so s-"
"Sorry? Is that what you actually want to say right now? Don't try saying that and do not ever call me
that nickname again. Now Scott come over here... you're the one thing that makes her happy so I
would love to take you from her?"
"Taylor you do know that I am a popular business man and people would notice I am gone and they
wont stop looking for me." Scott says to her and she rolled her eyes.
"Do you think I could care about that... I honestly don't. We'll be far too gone before then and Jasmine
would've taken you with her." My head shot up at this.
"Jasmine?" We said in unison.
"Oops. I just spilled some tea.. oh well.. Emilia I have done more than enough to you now and I am
happy for that so I'm going to leave... now all you have is a drug addict of a sister. Awww.. so sad. "
before I know what's happening, Scott takes the gun from her but she's also fast and makes the gun
fall from his hand and it to the floor. I rush in and try to help Scott out when she takes the gun.
"Don't point a gun at my sister you bitch." Beth screams and then I hear a gunshot.
Dayunnnn... who do you think they shot?? This is so not cool.
