❝Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.❞

"Julie," I heard someone whisper to me. I stirred a bit before losing myself to sleep in the silence.

"Julie!" This time the voice was a bit louder.

I opened my eyes slowly. I didn't see anything. It was dark. Or maybe I still had my eyes closed. I opened them furiously, widening them till they were the shape of saucers.

"Julie," I heard the same voice coming from beside me. I turned my head towards my left.

There she was. Olivia.

"Hey Olivia. What're you doing here?" I asked, smiling a bit at her, my eyes wanting to close shut for forever.

She gave me a disbelieving look.

"Did they hit you on your head?"

"What?" I asked.

"We're kidnapped!"

"Wait, what?!"

I looked around, the previous day flooding in my awareness.

I was in a room. Thank God Olivia was with me at least.

The room was big and it was dark. I could hardly see anything. I could make out a bed in front of me and the windows were closed and the curtains pulled over.

"Where are we?" I asked frantically, looking at Olivia who looked like she was going to cry any minute.

"I don't know," Her voice cracked at the last word.

I attempted to lift my hand to see if she was crying as she lowered her head and away from me, but my hands couldn't move.

Only then did I realize that I was tied up to a chair. My hands were tied behind me to the chair and even my legs weren't free to move. I couldn't move. I couldn't get up. I couldn't do anything.

"I'm so sorry, Julie. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have had the drink. But he forced me to drink!"

I frowned at her. "Who is he?"

"Wilma's friend. I don't remember his name. It was Bobby or Bobert or something like that," She closed her eyes tightly.

"Robert," I muttered. "We have to get out of here."

"How? We're tied to these chairs and I can barely move my neck!"

"Oh God." I breathed out.

I was scared. I was beyond scared. I was absolutely terrified. I didn't know who had kidnapped us. I didn't know why we were kidnapped. I didn't know where we were. I didn't know if I'd ever be able get out of here with Olivia, alive. I didn't know if the kidnappers were going to kill us, demand money from us or rape us.

"I don't want to die!" Olivia suddenly shouted. I was startled by her outburst.

"Olivia calm down. We're going to get out of here. Don't shout or they'll come."

"I don't fucking care! Hey, you kidnapper!" She shouted again, glaring at the door as if she knew that the kidnapper was outside the room. "I don't want to die! I'm not a coward like you! Leave us alone! You can't get anything from us!"

"Olivia, shut up!" I said. My breathing became ragged as I felt my heart beat out of my chest. I looked at the door.

Why did I feel like someone was going to enter now?

And sure enough I heard someone's footsteps outside the room. It seemed to be getting closer. Crap.

"Olivia! I'm going to kill you if the kidnappers are going to come in right now!"
