I glance at Knox and he looks as if he's seen a ghost. Who in the hell is the woman?
"Knox! I'm so glad I found you here. I've been calling you all week." The woman rushes up to Knox and wraps her arms around him as she buries her face in his neck.
"Emma. I didn't expect to see you here." Max sneers as he stands in front of me. "Still haven't dumped your boyfriend yet, I see?" He eyes Knox up and down.
"Boyfriend?" The woman snaps. "Since when do you have a girlfriend, Knox?"
"Sharon, lay off. Since when is it any of your business?"
Sharon? Who the hell is Sharon?
"Everything about you is my business. Who is this bitch, anyway?"
My head snaps to her. "Bitch? Who're you calling a bitch?"
Knox holds his hands up. "Whoa whoa. Let's slow it down. Sharon, this is my colleague, Emma. Emma, this is Sharon, my ex-girlfriend."
"Ex? Oh Knox, you know were not finished yet." Sharon's voice drips with fake sweetness. I hold back my eye roll.
"Let's get out of here Emma. We never did have our dinner date." Max grabs my arm and pulls me away from Knox and Sharon.
I yank my hand out of his grip. "No, Max. I don't want to go anywhere with you."
Out of nowhere, his hands grab my waist and he lifts me as he throws me on his shoulder. "Fine, I'll carry you."
I scream. "No! Put me down!"
Sharon laughs in the background. "Get her, little brother!"
Brother? They're brother and sister? How much worse can this get?
"Max. Put her down." Knox yells.
Max jogs away from them, towards a part of the beach I don't know well. Tears leak from the sides of my eyes as the situation dawns on me. He's kidnapping me. Max is seriouslykidnappingme right now.
My breathing comes in fast spurts as the ground slips by me in a daze. Max doesn't slow down. If anything, he moves faster. I hear Knox yelling behind me, Sharon not too far off.
I pound my fists and kick my legs. Max mutters something under his breath as he grips my legs tighter. I continue to pound on his back while I scream as loudly as I can.
"Shut up!" Max slaps my ass hard and I yelp.
Seconds feel like hours as Maxdarts down the beach.
Come on Knox. Save me.
Next thing I know; I'm knocked off from Max's back as I tumble to the ground.I land on my backwith ahard thud and I cry out. The sky above me spins. I try to sit up but it's no use. I fall back and my eyes slip closed as the darkness takes hold.
~K~
Crack. Slam. Crack, crack, slam.
"Stop it! Do you hear me? Stop it right now! It's the police!"
Strong hands pull me off him as my bloody fists fall to my side. Two police officers hold me back while one handcuffs me and spits out my Miranda rights.
What in the fuck is going on?
My mind takes in small bits of information as I look around, my chest heaving.
