I woke up in the same place as before. This time I was alone. I couldn't move because I was so sore. Ethan wasn't even with me. I began to cry. I just hope he's okay. Just then the door opened. A police officer was there. Behind him was Ethan. "We got them all. Ethan told us to come here." He said. Then he freed me. I got up. Ethan ran to me. "I'm glad to see you." Ethan said. I started crying again. "I was worried that I lost you." I said. Ethan hugged me. "Well I'm fine and so are you." He said. I stopped crying. "Will you go out on a real date with me sometimes?" Ethan asked. I grinned. I looked at mom. She nodded. "Yeah. I'd like that." I said. Ethan grinned. "Seriously?" He asked. "Yes." I said. "Tonight?" Ethan asked. I looked at mom. Be home by eleven thirty she mouthed. "Sure." I said. "I'll be at your house at six thirty." Ethan said. He turned to mom. "I know what time to have her home by." He said. Then he side hugged me and ran off. I seriously felt weak from thought.
  That night I was in my room waiting for Ethan. Taylor was with me. I brushed my hair and braided it. I found my dress and put it on. Ethan told me to wear it. I slipped my shoes on. Taylor painted my nails. Soon there was a knock at the door. Mom stuck her head in. "Ethan's here." She said. I went downstairs. Ethan was standing there. His eyes widened when he saw me. "Wow. You look amazing." Ethan said. "These are for you." He said handing me flowers. "Thanks." I said. Mom put them in a vase. "I'll put these in your room." She said. When she got back she handed me my phone. Then we left.
  Ethan made small talk with me all the way. We reached a restaurant. We walked in. The place was fancy. I found the bathroom and put my lip gloss on. When I came back, Ethan was talking to the waiter. "I'm back." I said. The waiter led us to a table. "Wait I don't have money." I said. "Everything is paid for already." The waiter said. He left. Ethan pulled out my chair for me. "Thanks." I said. I sat down. After we ate, we went to grab some milkshakes from a diner. Then we went for a walk. When I got home I went upstairs and took my dress off and changed into casual clothes. Taylor was in my room. I told her everything.
  The next day, we went to school. Ethan was at my locker. I gave him a hug. Then we went to class. In the middle of our math class, I got a note from Ethan asking me to meet him in the computer lab during lunch. I turned to him. I'll be there. I mouthed. Thank you. He mouthed back. When the bell rang for lunch, I pretended to be heading to lunch but at the last second I turned into the computer lab. Ethan was wheeling the chair around. He seemed nervous. He held his breath when I walked in. When he saw me, he relaxed. "What's the matter?" I asked. He looked at the teacher. "I'm leaving." The teacher said. Once the teacher left, Ethan pulled out a piece of paper. There was an article from the newspaper taped to it. "I received this in my locker." Ethan said. "I got something but I didn't read it." I said. I looked at it and gasped. Ethan and I looked at each other. There was something at the bottom. I read it and looked at Ethan. Written on the paper was this:
We're coming for you two
