Chapter 7

After I finished my story, I was a wreck at this point. Dwayne squeezed me closer to him and said, "Don't worry Nae, you'll always be safe with me." It feels weird to say it, but I believed him. After a few moments of me lying on his chest, I dozed off.

I was rudely awakened by the sound of a landline ringing uncontrollably, and to the sight of no Dwayne. I decided to pick of the phone.


"Hello?"


"Hey Nae, it's me Dwayne. There's food in the fridge if you're hungry, I'll be over in about an hour."


"Okay Dj, see you soon."


"Ooouuu nicknames, I like it."


"Well it's only fair since you call me Nae"


"Touché" he said then hung up the phone


I walked downstairs to the kitchen so that I could see what I could eat for breakfast. And surprise, surprise! Nothing but Raisin Brand and a couple of boxes of gluten free pancake mix. After a few minutes of contemplating, I decided to Google the nearest grocery store and buy things myself.

I went upstairs to get dressed so that I could look semi-presentable in public only to realize I had no clothes. I decided to throw on Dj's shirt which was way too big for me, so I just tied it in this cute little knot. For my bottoms, I just decided to keep on my leggings. After that whole thing, I realized I had no key. Surely he had to have a spare key somewhere right?


The first place I thought to look was in the living area with wall hooks or something. No luck. My second pick was outside around or near the door. As soon as I walked outside, I found a very iffy looking rock. I turn it over and AH HA! I found it. Typical Dwayne.


Before I could even fully stand up, someone grabbed me and threw me in the house. I began to scream and squirm to try and break free of whoever's grasp I was in. This person was seemingly unaffected by kicks and screams. When we got inside, they slammed the door, pinning me against it. As I met eyes with this crazy person, I breathed a sign of relief. It was Dwayne.


"Are you crazy Dj?! I thought I was being kidnapped!!!" I screamed at him


"What did I tell you about leaving the house Nae?" he said in his "I mean business" voice.


"Nothing, you never told me I couldn't leave the house. And even if you did, you can't tell me what to do."


"GOD stop being so stubborn!! I'm just trying to help you."


"Ohhhh do you think just because you're a big strong man that you can protect the fragile little girl from the outside world?! Well think again Dj, I'm outta here"


"DANAE PLEASE WAIT!"


For a second I thought about turning around, but I didn't.
