My Bestfriend's Been Kidnapped! ~Chap.2~

I read the note, trying not to think about what Karen was going through right this minute. Was she being treated okay, or was she begging for mercy? I shook my head. No. Don’t think like that. I unfolded the note, slowly and carefully, so I didn’t rip the note.

          Dear Raven,

Hopefully this is Raven and you found this first. I don’t know how long I’ve been missing but I want you to go to my parent’s house and tell them that I’m spending a few nights with Micheal Workster, so that they don’t worry. I cant have them calling the cops, or he’s going to think that I called them. Please. The next note is going to be where everyone plays, by the tree closest to the swings. Hurry!

          Sincerely,

          Karen BFF

Where everyone plays, would be the park. The tree closest to the swings was where Karen and I used to hang out a lot when we were preteens. We hadn’t been there for at least four years. This was going to be hard. First I had to lie to her parents, the ones I loved as much as my own. Then I had to go to one of our old hang outs, where we haven’t been since forever. Today was going to be a hard one.

I slowly walked up the driveway to Karen’s house. It was hard for me to lie to my parents, little known Karen’s. I got to the front door and meant to lightly knock on it, but instead two loud bangs came out of my fist. I gulped, and started thinking about what I was going to say to them.

                        It felt like forever had passed, before Karen’s parents finally opened the door.

            “Raven?” Karen’s mother’s voice made my head shoot up.

            “Hi Mrs. Taylor. Uhm, can I come in?” My voice was shaky.

            “Of course. Greg! Raven is here!” She opened the door wider for me to slip past. I took a seat on their couch, every swallow getting harder, my heart getting faster, sweat was starting to form on my hands. Mrs. Taylor (Caitlynn) took a seat in front of me, while Mr. Taylor (Greg) was standing behind her.

            “What was it you wanted that made you come over?” Caitlynn asked sweetly.

            “Uhm..I-I just wan-ted to tell you guys that…Uh…Karen is over at Micheal’s house.” Her parents stared blankly at me.

            “Oh..kay. We figured. We were just wondering why she hadn’t called yet.” Greg answered a little annoyed.

            “Well see…” My voice perked up, “She wants to stay over there for a few days. They need to catch up.” I smiled sheepishly.

            “Catch up? Why the hell do they need to catch up when they go to the same school?” Greg’s faced started to get red, and my heart started beating faster. I had never seen Greg mad before.

            “Well…Micheal and Karen got in a fight, and she thinks that if she stays over that uh…They can work things out.” I looked down.

            “Okay well..Is that all sweetie? Just tell her to call us every few hours okay?” Caitlynn’s voice slowed my heartbeat, and my nerves stopped jumping. I stood up.

            “Sure thing. That’s all I wanted to tell you. Uh, see you around. Bye.” I quickly walked to the front door, and ran out towards my car. Well that went easier than planned, I thought. Next place: The Park. Oh boy…

Sorry I couldn't post this one yesterday. I had a party to attend to. Please rate and comment! :]
