Chapter 80
When I get tired of lying on my back I sit up and as I look around, everyone is swimming far away from me. I try calling them but none of them can hear me. So I pull my shorts on, since my swimsuit is already dry.
I sigh.
"Guess it's just you and me Axel, let's take a walk around the woods," I tell Axel and immediately he stands up. I pick my phone from where it's been lying on the grass and our little adventure begins. Axel is sticking his tongue out and keeps looking up at me and around the woods.
When we walk for about fifteen minutes in the woods, he stops and faces a certain direction.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask, knowing that he won't reply, but he walks straight ahead into a bush and I don't hesitate to follow him.
Behind the bush I find a lizard, Axel barks and it runs off at a very high speed, then my phone startles me when it starts ringing.
It's Blake.
"Hey, babe. How are you doing?" I ask and his voice fills my ear.
"I'm not that good?" he says and I frown.
"Why? What's wrong? Is everything okay?" I question.
"Everything is fine. I just miss my beautiful lady, you know. I sent you a text earlier but you didn't reply–"
I cut him off.
"Oh! I am so sorry, I haven't checked my phone for the last hour or so," I reply, trying to keep my eyes on Axel who is now peeing on a tree with one leg up.
"Are you busy? I can call you later," he says.
"No! No, I'm not that busy. How's Carla by the way?"
"She's doing okay. Babe, the reason why I called is because I really want you to come over and spend the night with me. Just the two of us... Well Carla is always around but you know, she always gives us some space."
Crap! He has no idea where I am. I didn't even tell him, and what's even worse, he doesn't know I shared a bed with Scott. Actually not even once but more than twice, I guess.
It just hit me that I've never spent a night with Blake, never slept at his house, 'cause I always go back home.
Whoah! Kyrah, you've slept at Scott's house multiple times yet you've never slept over at your man's house, my subconscious reminds me.
I shake my head trying to shove those thoughts away.
"Hello, are you still there?" his voice brings me back from my jumbled up thoughts.
"Yeah, yeah I can hear you," I say quickly.
"So what do you say?" he pauses, waiting for my reply.
"Babe, uhm... Well, I'm out of the city currently," I say, biting my lower lip very hard.
"What? Why didn't you tell me?" he asks and a picture of him seriously frowning pops in my head.
"Err, well, it was kind of a surprise, a weekend getaway in a cabin somewhere away from the city, everything had already been planned and Scott told Roxy and I yesterday and–"
"WHAT!?" he thunders. "You're with fucking Scott? Oh my–"
"Calm down, I'm with Roxy and other people too." I try defending myself but it doesn't go as I thought.
"Stop putting other people into the picture. You're with fucking Scott! Do you even have any idea of how much I hate seeing you around that guy? Huh? Do you, Kyrah?" he yells and I pull the phone away from my ear.
"Blake, take it easy, I'll be back on Monday and we'll talk about it. I'm just taking a break from the city that's all."
"You're not supposed to be with him, you're supposed to be with me, is he with you right now, is he listening to what I am telling you?"
"No, he's not, I'm just taking a walk around with Axel," I say.
"Oh, so now there's a guy named Axel? Kyrah who in the world is Axel?... Fuck!" He sounds agitated.
"Babe, chill! Axel is a dog... Are we arguing again?" I sigh.
"Babe, I just don't like you hanging out with that guy, I wish you could have told me earlier," his tone lowers.
"Listen, can we talk about this when we're all calm?" I ask and behind me I hear a twig crack and I lower my phone from my ear while Blake is still talking. When I turn around, someone hits me on the face and I hit the ground hard and my phone falls.
When I try to get back up, I am pushed back to the ground. The pain on my jaw is unbearable. I try yelling for help. I can't even see Axel but I can hear him growl. When I turn around I see a very horrendous looking man and I scream at the top of my lungs.
"Help! Somebody help!" He grabs my feet and drags me away from my phone when I try to reach for it.
"Shut up!" He orders but I keep on screaming at the top of my lungs, he lifts me up and I punch his chest and shove my elbow into his ribs. He takes out a white cloth and covers my nose and mouth. Suddenly everything looks blurry and I can't feel my feet.
"What's... happening... ?" I ask right before everything goes pitch black.

Blake's POV
"Listen, can we talk about this when we're all calm?" she says it like it's not even a fucking big deal. I hate that guy Scott and I hate the fact that he's friends with my girl.
The anger that's boiling at the pit of my stomach makes me want to slam my wrist into someone's jaw right now.
"Fine, but you have a lot to explain," I say then I hear a loud thud. "Kyrah?"
I listen carefully I can hear as if someone is being hit.
"Kyrah, are you okay?"
Then I hear her scream.
"Help! Somebody help!"
Then a man's voice says:
"Shut up!"
Everything goes quiet and the call ends.
"Fuck! She shouldn't have gone without telling me!" I yell, dialing her number but it fails to go through.
My heart is beating very fast, what could have happened? Is it that fucking Scott?
"Shit!" I curse and I pick up my baseball bat and smash my bedroom mirror, all the tiny pieces scatter all over the floor.
I am angry and worried at the same damn time!
"Urgh!" I grunt, raising my arm to hit the fucking wall but Carla comes out of nowhere and stops me.
"Blake, STOP!"
