ZOEY’S POV
NOTE : This chapter does not encourage racist comment or acts , this was only used to intimidate the main character .
“ Zoeyyyyyyyy , you have to call 911 now “ My psychotic best friend yelled from the kitchen .
I ran to her and found her standing by the refrigerator .
“ Are you ok ? What happened ?” I asked
“ There’s no chocolates in the freezer anymore “ she said
Oh my God
“ Laura , you screamed my name like a maniac making me run from the other side of the room to you only for you to tell me There ain’t no chocolates in the freezer anymore ?” I asked angrily
“ What ? It’s a real state of emergency you know “ she said
“ I see it now , you’re crazy “
“ And you love me “ she said smiling
Crazy ass bitch
“ Chocolates are not even that important “ I said
“ of course they are , You know what just came to my mind ?” she asked
“ what ?”
“How about we form our own secret codes “ she said
“ secret codes ?” I asked
“ Yes , you know like codes only you and I can understand for example let’s say when one of us is in danger and we want to speak to the other person on phone … we should say something like : I need chocolates or I ain’t got chocolates or … I lost my chocolate “ she said
“ why?” I asked
“ Ok let’s see , for example you get kidnapped by unknown men and you have to call just one person , I’m the only person you can call right ?”
“ I could also call 911” I said
“ Yeah yeah smart pants what if a gun was placed to your head and you’re asked to call just one person for ransom of course you’ll call me , so your stupid ass is just going to say hey Laura , I’ve been kidnapped ?” she asked
“ Yeah , you’re kind of right “ I said
“ You know we should make it Interesting like those crime fighting movies “ she said
“ You’re one crazy bitch “
“ And you’re my best friend “ she said blowing a kiss over
“ So Zoey , whenever I tell you I need chocolates … I actually need help “
“ Hello “ I said
“ Hi Mr Harlow , I don’t have chocolates “ Laura said over the phone
So Zoey whenever I tell you I need chocolates … I actually need help .
Oh My God ! Laura is in trouble
“ Ok Laura , I’m going to ask you some questions now , please answer with a yes or no “ I said and she mumbled a yes .
“ Have you been kidnapped ?” I asked
“ Yes “
Ok … Zoey don’t freak out
“ Are you ok , I mean did they hurt you or anything ?” I asked
“ No Mr Harlow “ she replied
Mr Harlow ? What does he have to do with this ?
Did he kidnap her ?
“ what are you doing ? Tell him to come if he wants to see you alive “ A tiny voice said beside her
“ Who’s that ? Your kidnapper ?” I asked
“ Yes “
“ oh my God this is crazy , I have to inform the cops right now , I mean she can –“
“ No “ she said
She doesn’t want me to inform the cops ?
“ Is Mr Harlow involved in this ?” I asked
“ Yes “
“ oh My God , did he kidnap you ?” I asked
“ No “
Phew … so what’s his deal ?
“ How can we find you ? Can you just say anything to give me clues ?” I asked
“ Put the phone on speaker , I said I want the fucking phone on speaker right now, I want to know what you’re saying “ The tiny voice yelled again .
My Goodness ! Poor Laura
“ Annie you don’t have to do this “ Laura said
Annie ?
Is that her kidnapper’s name ?
“ Shut up Laura , you can’t tell me what to do “ The tiny voice replied
“ You know when I watched your movie Destination II , I fell in love with you and I –“ and immediately I heard a resounding slap shutting Laura up and the call was cut.
“ Hello ?
Hello ?
Lau you there ?” I asked but the call had been cut already .
Dang it !
Annie ?
The movie Destination II ?
Annie ? …
Wait a minute
Annie Lipa ?
Oh my God
Annie Lipa is her kidnapper .

“ I have to see Mr Harlow , it’s very urgent “ I said to the middle aged secretary
“ Mr Harlow is in a very important meeting “ he said for the tenth time
“ But what I have for him is more important “ I said
“ I’m sorry ma’am but you need an appointment to see Mr Harlow “
“ but I don’t have one “ I whined
“ There’s nothing I can do “
How stubborn is this man ?
“ You have to let me see him “ I said using my puppy eyes
“ if you don’t leave now , I will have to call the security ma’am “ he said
Arrrgh asshole … There’s just one thing left to do now .
“ I didn’t want to tell you this earlier because it was kinda personal and all but Mr Harlow’s mother is in the hospital “ I said Lying
“ oh my God is she ok ? I’m so sorry for stopping you “ he said
“ it’s ok , she’s on her sick bed and she wants to see her son so I’m here to get him “ I said
I did not just say that …
“ please go in ma’am , go in right away “
“ Thank you so much sir “ I said before barging into the huge office
I saw Nick staring at the city from his huge window , he had a glass of wine in his hand as he kept his back at me in his 6ft glory .
Rich people and their nonsense
“ orrrr Mr Harlow ?” I called and he turned to look at me .
Sweet cheese this guy is hot as hell … Focus Zoey
“ Do I know you ?” he asked
Ouch ! That hurts
“ The name’s Zoey … Zoey Miller “
“ ok how can I help you ?” he asked
Gosh … that accent
Zoey focus !
“ Umm I’m here for my friend –“
“ Ok hold it there Zoey …”
“ Miller “ I completed for him
“ Ok Zoey Miller , Who the hell is your friend ? My ex ? If you’re here to beg me to take your friend back then please kindly use the door now “
Wow , good looking people can be really Annoying .
“ I think you got the wrong idea Mr Harlow , my friend is not your ex –“
“ so what is she ? A fling ?”
What is wrong with this boy ?
“ My friend is Laura Paley , the girl whose life you’re about to ruin “
“ Miss Paley ? I’ve been calling her but she has not been picking , is she not interested in being my secretary ? The reporters will be here very –“
“ Laura has been kidnapped “ I said
“ Wait what ? Miss Paley ? How ?”
“ She didn’t come home yesterday “ I said
“ So ? What if she’s hooking up with someone somewhere ?”
Who is this asshole ?
“ She gave me a call apparently Annie Lipa kidnapped her “ I said
“ Annie Lipa ? The actress ?” he asked
“ Yes “ I replied
“ wow that’s messed up , but what does it have to with me ?” he asked
Ok somebody better hold me back before I murder this boy .
“ I should be asking you that , Annie kidnapped her because of you , what’s your relation with Annie ?” I asked
“ She’s just my Sister’s friend “
So what does she want from my friend ?
“ Have you tried calling the cops ?” he asked
Who the fuck is this dumbass?
“ oh no I didn’t try calling the cops I just came here straight because I thought you were superman” I said with sarcasm dripping down my voice
“ wow Miss Zoey , you are really rude “ he said Making me loose the last string of patience I had
“ Listen up pretty boy , imma tell you this straight to your stupid face , if anything happens to Laura I swear on my mama , I’m goning to end you “ I said and he looked stunned for a minute
“ Wow miss Zoey ,Now I’m scared of you “ he said returning the sarcasm and I just scoffed
“ so what can we do to save Miss Paley? “ he asked
“ I don’t know , we have to locate Annie first “
“ I know where she lives “ he said
Thank goodness
“ Ok let’s go save her “ I said standing up
“ Whoa whoa whoa , wait a minute Miss Zoey we should let the cops take care of it “
“ wow Mr Harlow I didn’t know you was a whimp “ I said smiling
Laura told me not to call the cops , I won’t let this kid ruin our plan .
“ A whimp ? Excuse me –“
“ Excuse you ? Of course I will , I know you’re not man enough that’s why you wanna call the cops right ?” I said
“ Are you crazy ?” I asked
“ I bet you’re the type of White boy that’s got 911 on speed dial , of course white privileges … the cops have to do everything for you “ I said making him even angrier than he was before
“ No I-I’m not , i-I mean y-you … I’m not a whimp “ he said
Then I moved closer to him
“ Then show me what you got white boy “
