"Help! I'm being kidnapped by a baby man! " I yelled as loud as I could, "Somebody help-"

"Shut up will you? " he whispered and stuffed a cloth in my mouth making me grumble words through it.

I was seated on a chair and my hands were tied behind my back. Great, this just looks like a freaking cliche kid napping movie.

"It is nothing bad or hard, just an answer is all I need," Aldan said holding my shoulders and looking at me with his ugly green eyes that looked like rotten beans.

"Never, " I said with my words grumbled up from the cloth in my mouth.

"It's just one party! One! "

I shook my head.

"Please?"

I didn't reply. I just stayed silent.

He sighed and hung his head, "Fine, I'll just leave you tied up like this and go to the party and have fun while you stay right here on this chair and notice every little thing in your tiny little house. How fun does that sound? Someone could just walk in and grab you, or probably not because well-" he looked at me and made a disgusted face, "-you know, but yeah. Or, I could just stay with you all night and talk to you while you seat in that chair and listen to me. All night. Your call. "

All night? Hell no. I wouldn't want to stay with him! He is a menace! Even a baby could behave better!

I shook my head with wide eyes and tried to speak through the cloth but it all came out muffled.

"I'm sorry what was that? "

"I said-"

"Sorry come again say what? "

"I said that you-"

He folded his arms and gave me a bored expression. "I really can't hear anything. "

"I-"

"Nothing, " he shook his head.

"I sa-"

"Nope."

"I-"

"Stupid? You're stupid? " he chuckled and winked at me, "I know ugly ducking. You really are stupid huh? "

I kept on talking and yelling at him not caring whether the heard of not, at least I released some anger out of me and how badly I wanted to choke the hell out of him!

He laughed and shook his head laughing at me. Oh I bet he enjoyed this huh? "As much as it is fun to watch you talk like an idiot, my mother is going to kill Me if I leave you here so you have to come. "

He took off the cloth from my mouth and I finally took in a breath that I was craving this whole time that this brat was suffocating me.

He raised a dark eyebrow, "Better? "

"You mother-"

He shoved it back into my mouth and wagged his pointer finger in front of my face, "No swearing Pagey, okay? "

I swear I was going to kill him. I was going to skin this idiot alive and make him eat his own skin! Then after he does, I'll tie him to a chair and shove a stick down his throat until he vomits it all out just so that I can tell him to eat it again! After moments of me giving him my 'you are dead meat Prince' look I nodded my head as response to him that I wouldn't scream or swear or whatever the hell he didn't want me to do and he removed the cloth from my mouth.

"I'm going to kill you, " I replied breathlessly as soon as he took it off.

"Why don't you just do it now? Oh wait, you can't because your hands are tied up, " he shook his head and smirked at me chuckling at his own joke.

"What do you so desperately want from me that you just had to tie me the hell up? " I asked squirming around and trying to free myself from the ropes. "I mean seriously! This?" I said looking down at myself and seeing the ropes that went around my waist and my arms, "I could sue you! "

"I already told you, it's the party that I just-"

"Than go! I'm not holding you back-"

"I don't trust-"

"I know that you that you that I know that we hate each other, and I may not like you, but this is a win win thing you idiot! You go to your pretty little party, get drunk, dance, do illegal stuff and sleep with bunch of different girls without me having to drag around with you and I stay home by myself without you annoying me, so I can just enjoy my Friday night as a nerd and binge eat and watch all night until dawn breaks. Sounds good? Okay, now-"

"I can't. "

"Can't what? Aldan I already told you I'm not going to spill -"

"I believe you and I know you won't tell, but it's just that-" he paused and scratched his head.

"Just what? "

He sighed. "-It's just that I can't leave you by yourself. Something night happen to you and they'll blame me and even I'll blame me. Sure I hate you but if something bad happened to you, I wouldn't live with myself. "

I scoffed, "I can take care of myself and I don't need you, like ever. "

He raised his eyebrow and looked at me, "Really? Because I don't think so. Do you not see the position you're in? "

I rolled my eyes and huffed, "That's not the point. I can fight and stuff. "

"You were screaming like an idiot when I removed the ropes and kept yelling that you were going to die and that this was the end of your life and you call that 'I can handle myself'? " he shook his head and came behind me and started to remove the ropes but stopped.

"Please, I did not do such things. Besides, I wasn't ready, " I defended and looked behind me to where he was crunched down and trying to figure out the ropes. Literally.

He didn't untie me, instead he stood up coming around the chair and looked at me, "I am seriously considering the fact that you are dumb! What kind of nerd are you! Do you think robbers, rapists, and burglars walk into the house and yell, 'Yo I'm home. Ready or not I'm coming'? You are seriously stupid!"

Okay, I didn't think he had brains but clearly I was wrong. And yes, I do feel a little dumb now. Okay no, I feel dumb a lot. Like really dumb.

I gaped at him, "Just shut up and untie me. "

He sighed and shook his head, "No. No I won't. "

"What? Why not? "

"Because I need you to come with me. To the party. I can't let you stay here alone."

"Aldan, I said -"

"I know what you said Page, no. No I'm not letting you stay here alone. Besides, I kind of need a driver to bring me back home. I could be drunk as hell to drive back home, " he said scratching the back of his head.

"I don't want to follow you around all night, " I said rolling my eyes.

"Who said you were going to follow me around all night? "

I looked at him in confusion. I don't understand dude, make me understand. Help me! He says one minute that he can't let me stay at home and that I need to follow him to the party and then the next he says I'm not going with him? What?

He looked at me and as if he read my mind he chuckled deeply, "I meant you're not going inside the party."

I looked at him again puzzled making him shake his head sighing and he did. His curly hair falling over the rotten bean eyes. "You really are the stupidest person I have ever met! I mean you are not going inside the party because you are staying inside the vehicle. Clear? "

He yelled talking slowly to me as if I was from planet Mars. I looked at him and scrunched up my nose, "Oh I'm sorry, what were you saying? I couldn't focus because of your breath which by the way stinks of smoke. Maybe if you brushed your teeth than I would gladly pay attention thank you! "

He groaned and hung his head, "You are impossible! "

Without any warning, I realized that I was lifted up and thrown over his shoulder. My eyes now looking at his behind. "Put me down you stupid! Put me down! "

"If you want something done right, you do it yourself! " he murmured to himself and walked towards the door unlocking it and walking outside.

"This is unbelievable! This is kid napping! Help! I'm going to get murdered! " I started yelled at soon as we walked out of the house.

He opened the door of his white Bentley and dumped me inside making me wince at how hard the leather seats were. "Stay! " he pointed an accusing finger at me then closed the door running over to lock my house door and then coming back to the car and getting inside.

"Well," he fired up the engine and turned to look at me with a smirk playing on his lips, "let's go to the party shall we? "

-

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a party. The brat will get back and then you can get back home again and say hello to your sweet little bed, " I said to myself and looked at the time on the dash board in the car that read 1: 02 am.

My eyes widened and I started to panic. When we got there, that idiot left me tied and told me to wait in the car and then he ran off to his stupid party. I could see a couple of popular kids at school standing on the front yard of the gigantic house holding onto red cups in their hands and laughing. An all familiar face caught my attention when I saw Aldan kissing a girl getting really into it at the corner of the house, just then I noticed the girls red hair and realized that it was Mandy, the witch.

I wiggled around in the roped with my hands tied behind my back. Thankfully he removed the ones that tied my legs thinking it wouldn't really matter. Dummy. I shifted my weight to my left and turned around, giving my back to the door handle and tried to reach it. I reached out trying to open the door, partially struggling, then finally I held it and opened it.

"Hallelujah! " I whispered and turned my back around kicking the door open and got out. The cold air hit me making me shiver and I closed back the door of the white Bentley and stood up still with my hands tied behind my back. I looked over across the street where Aldan parked the car over to the house to look for him but he was nowhere insight with Mandy.

"Now what? " I said looking around. "Now you need to get home," I answered my own question smiling, but slowly my smiled dropped, "Accept, where is home?"

I looked at the neighborhood and around me. It didn't look familiar at all. Not one bit. Great, I was lost. How could I get home when I didn't even know where home was? I'm going to die. I'm going to die. This is the end of my journey people!

"Great, " I whispered to myself and shook away my blonde strand of hair that flew in front of my face, "Just walk then. "

With that said, I started walking down the road away from the party. It's kind of stupid, walking down the road with your hands tied behind your back and just walking down. I started walking briskly and hurriedly. I wanted to get out of here and two, I don't like dark streets. I stopped in midst when I heard a car coming up behind me. Immediately, my eyes widened and I turned around to face the car turning my back away from the lights so the driver didn't see that my hands were tied.

Unfortunately, I failed because the car slowed down coming to stop in front of me revealing a group of three boys inside it. "Where you going cutie? " one blonde one asked me smirking at his eyes trailed over my body and I looked at him disgusted.

"Want a ride? " the one driving the car asked and the other one riding shotgun opened the back seat door and nodded for me to get in.

I looked around and noticed that the streets were totally empty with no one around. Why do these things always happen at times when no one is around? I looked back at the three boys in the jeep and smiled politely, "No thanks, I'm good walking. "

I turned and started walking backwards facing them. I didn't want them to see that my hands were tied up, that would make things way worse.

"Come on beautiful, it won't be that bad," the dark haired one from the passenger seat smiled.

Just when I turned and tried to run, I was caught by the boy that was seated in the back seat. How the heck did he get out without me noticing?

"Come on princess, " he whispered to me making me try to wiggle out of his strong grip, "Let's go. Don't be afraid. "

"Let me go!" I said shaking myself.

He laughed and shook his head, "Look boys. It keeps getting better and better, her hands are tied," he announced and lifted me up carrying me to the car and dumped me inside making me groan in pain.

What is it with people and dumping me in cars?

"Stop! Let me go you ass! "

I started screaming and yelling but stopped when I saw someone else standing in front of the car. I couldn't see his face.

"Let her go, " he announced putting his hand on the hood of the car as if he could stop it if they tried to run him over.

"And who the hell are you?" the driver got out of the car cracking his knuckles and walking towards the guy followed by his two side kicks.

"Didn't you hear me? I said let the girl go," the boy replied stubbornly.

"I don't think so. You have two minutes to turn around and get outta here or you're gonna regret it," the leader said looking at the boy wearing the hoodie.

"I don't think so. "

That guy wasn't going to stand a chance, those guys are huge! My soon to be hero, hopefully, chuckled softly and looked at the guys. My eyes widened at the sight. I knew what this was, it was the stare down. I've watched enough fighting movies to know that as soon as the stares get too heated, one of them will eventually throw a punch first.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard two thuds and turned to see that the leaders side kicks were on the ground whimpering like little dogs. Wait what? What just happened? The next thing I knew, the guy threw a fist at the leader of the ground and he groaned angrily holding his nose. In a split second the guy opened the door and yanked me out.

My eyes widened and I looked at him, "How the hell did you do that?"

"Do what? " he asked breathlessly.

"Get those two humongous ones down? "

"I didn't!" He said walking backwards, away from the two body builders who were on the ground, "Buffy one tried to punch me but I ducked so he hit Buffy two."

"Run as fast as you can quick! " he said as soon as he saw that they were getting up again.

And I did. This is one man for himself.

He was right behind me. I ran as fast as I could, my sneakers hitting the road as I did so. I slowed down when the guy told me to take a left and we were met with a dead end.

"Take a left?" I cried looking at him, "Its a freaking dead end! God, don't let me die now."

The guy didn't say anything, instead he just went in deeper into the alley and looked around. After several of minutes went by he said,

"Quick, hide there, " and pulled open the lid of a huge duplex trashcan. It could fit anyone, that thing was huge!

I turned and looked at him, "Are you kidding me? That thing has more than 1000 germs. I'm not doing that."

"Seriously!" He cried, "this is life and death and you're thinking of germs?"

"Hey, I don't clean up for nothing dude."

"Just do it or they're gonna catch us. Quickly!" he urged me.

"I just-"

He groaned and picked me up dumping me inside the huge garbage can making me yelp and he followed me, jumping inside as well.

"Can people please stop dumping me into stuff-"

"Shh, " he said placing his hand over my mouth.

"Where did they go? " I heard the familiar voice of the leader say outside the garbage can.

"We lost them! "

I heard curse and long sighs and then their car scraping wheels down the road. He took off his hand from my mouth making me release a long breath. He got out and then carried me out because well, my hands were still tied.

"Thank you for saving me. Literally, they could've raped me or whatever. Who are you anyway? " I asked looking at the guy whose hoodie was closing his face. I noticed his sharp jawline. He gritted his teeth making his jaw flex and then took off his hoodie making the spot light shine over his god-like face.

"The names Cody Baker. "
