Gone too far
Part 5
Selena’s POV
My eyes slid open slowly as I took in my surroundings, the floor was hard under me & small shards of glass still covered the ground around me. I sucked in a hard breath realizing I was still stuck with this man in this small room. I hugged my knees to my chest as I tried to control my breathing. He must have heard me move because his head flipped around his eyes piercing my small figure.
“You’re awake” he sneered getting up from his chair, “I thought I would be nice & give you one last meal & a last phone call before I did my job.”
He shoved a plate of food toward me & I cringed at the smell. I picked at it while he turned back to the table & fidgeted with some items. After a few moments he turned back around with a cell phone in his hand.
“One call, tell where you are & you will be dead before you hang up the phone” he said lifting his shirt to show a gun.
“& I wont miss this time.” He sneered.
I took the phone from him & stared at the screen, I dialed my mom number & slowly put it up to my ear. It rang…& rang & rang. My heart dropped with every ring & I almost burst into tears as her voicemail picked up. He reached out & grabbed the phone from me,
“Looks like nobody misses you enough to pick up their phone.” He chuckled evilly.
“Please let me try one more number!” I cried without thinking.
He looked down at me & then at the phone,
“Fine but this is it!” he barked shoving the phone at me.
My fingers shook as they dialed Justin’s number; I swallowed hard as the first ring vibrated in my ear.
Justin’s POV
Nothing. They had no leads, no suspects, absolutely nothing. I didn’t sleep last night I just paced back & forth in my hotel room. My mom was flying in to be with me & I was sitting in my hotel room feeling worthless while I waited for her to get here. I couldn’t do anything & I hated it, after getting myself together last night we had called every officer & lawyer we could think of trying to find her. I tried to help but they told me to let them handle it, how was I suppose to just sit back & wait while some crazy man had Selena. I was running my hands thru my hair in frustration the tears almost slipping from my eyelids when there was a knock on the door. I quickly rushed to it opening the door to see my mother’s small frame standing in the doorway.
“Mom” I breathed as the tears spilled over streaming down my cheeks.
She pushed her way in wrapping her arms around me soothing me as we made it over to the couch.
“I left for five minutes, I shouldn’t have left…” I cried blaming myself for what happened.
“Justin, sweetie they will find her, it’s not your fault.” She rubbed my back trying to comfort me. My head shot up looking at her,
“He’s already tried to kill her once mom, what makes you think that he has kept her alive.” My tears were becoming a constant flow as I tortured myself with my own words.
“We just need to pray that he kept her alive over night, they will find her.”
I buried my face in my hands & sobbed as the images of Selena’s horrified face being shoved into that car flashed thru his mind. His phone ringing interrupted his thoughts; he didn’t recognize the number flashing on the screen but thought it would be a lawyer or officer with news.
“Hello?” I breathed eagerly.
There was only breathing on the other end,
“Hello?” I spoke again about to hang up.
A small scared voice echoed thru the phone,
“Justin…help” & the call ended.
