Chapter 10
Ivy's POV
I woke up after a long time. My hands were tied. I tried to remember what happened.
I was kidnapped.
Kidnapped when I was on my way to get evidence to prove AL's innocence.
I felt a gun near me and I closed my eyes. Suddenly the phone of the man holding it rang. He picked it up.
"Noted," he said and then removed the gun.
"You can go," he said to me. I had no idea what was going on, but I ran away. Who would leave such a great offer?
I took a cab on my way home. I was so afraid. AL saved me!
I reached home. Dad didn't know I was kidnapped, so he was normal, and so was everything.
But wait.
Where's AL?
I called him.
"The number you are calling does not exist. Please contact your service provider for further details"
What. The. Hell.
I called again, with another phone, but the same result.
The number does not exist!
I was afraid. Where is he!?
Did he leave me? No! He saved you, Ivy!
Suddenly a message popped up on the phone.
"Looking for something, eh?" the message said.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"That doesn't matter. I know where is AL"
"Where is he?" I asked.
"He left you. He left California. He left himself here, he's no longer AL"
"What? Do you think I'd believe you? Fuck off, man!" I texted and put the phone down.
I was already pissed off that he was nowhere to be found. And these stupid people.
The phone started ringing. I picked it up.
"You are fooled by AL, Ivy, he left you and you didn't even see his face. You'll never even know him!" some male voice said.
"Who the hell are you?" I asked.
"Your well-wisher," He said and the call ended.
I tried calling again, but,
"The number you are calling does not exist. Please contact your service provider for further details"
What is with these numbers and their existence!!
I threw the phone away. I was so angry. I left the house to go to his place.
The place where he once took me.
I reached there and started searching for him.
"AL?" I yelled but no reply. I searched everywhere and finally found a note.
"Hey. Ivy, right? You made a fool of yourself. I don't fucking love you. I'm a criminal and you should've known that. You are just a play toy for me. And now I don't want to waste a fucking another second on you. So get lost!
Yours!!
AL"
This... This isn't true, right?
That's... That's some prank or.. something like that, right?
No. He loved me! I've seen that in his eyes!
But then where the hell is he?!
Did he really leave California?
Leave me?
Leave AL?
No! Stop these stupid thoughts, Ivy. He's yours. He told that himself. Trust him.
I trust him!
He can never leave me. It's definitely a plan to make me weak and vulnerable.
Yes, it is, right?
I won't believe any word. I know you haven't left me.
I know you loved me.
I headed back to my home. I took the page with me.
I know him... He can't write that. Maybe someone else did that?
I can't be sure of anything. I'll definitely do something. I know you would come back very soon.
Just be fine wherever you are.
Don't forget to miss me.
_____________________________________________
It's been 5 long days.
No sign of him.
I tried every possible way to find him. But no. No AL. Nothing.
I switched on the TV.
Lately, AL has not been seen anywhere in California. So he's on news. I saw him on news yesterday.
"The Most Wanted Criminal of California expected to be shot by another gang named DCF"
What?
What?
What did it say?
Shot?
Are you fucking kidding me?
That's what is left, right?
Just make me go rot in hell! I don't care about anything but him if god. If god anything happens to him, then I'm telling you I'm going to end my life.
You! You will be responsible for my death.
I don't know anything! I don't want to believe that letter, but sure he left me! Then also I wanted that he should live happily, so now what?
Huh?
Shot?
Why don't just kill me?
I can't take it! Firstly he left me. That was just enough to break me!
Now not this!!
