"Escape to Love"

Chapter 1: Gone

Thirteen year old Nat Wolff sat in the lobby of the police station bruised up and had tears running down his cheeks. This did not just happen, he thought. This has to be a dream. Nat pinched himself hoping he would wake up from this nightmare. OW! Nope. Oh man. He stared out the window as his mind played the incident over in his head.

Flashback

"Get away from me!" 15 year old Rosalina DiMeco shouted as a tall, dark haired man grabbed her arm. Nat and his friends, Cooper Pillot, Thomas Batuello, David Levi, and Qaasim Middleton ran up in time to see this.

"Hey! Get away from her!" Nat shouted as he clenched his fists. He could feel his blood boiling as the guy ignored him and dragged Rosalina over to a black van.

The five boys started running towards them when 3 other big guys came out of the van and blocked their way. Not thinking, Nat kicked one of them in the balls and another guy grabbed him. Before the boys knew it, they were all bruised up. Nat was able to get away and ran towards Rosalina when the guy holding her suddenly pulled out a gun and held it to her head. Nat and the boys stopped in their tracks.

"Nobody move or the girl dies!" the man yelled. Nat and the boys just stared at him in fear. They didn't want Rosalina to die and they didn't want her to be kidnapped.

The man saw their fear and smiled evilly. He ordered the other 3 men to leave and they went into the van. The guy backed up slowly still holding the gun to Rosalina's head and then threw her in the back of the van and he went in after. Then the van drove off. Nat dropped to his knees crying and Cooper immediately called the police.

End Flashback

"Nat! Nat!"

Nat looked away from the window as 10 year old Alex Wolff ran into the lobby holding a piece of paper.

"What's that?" Nat asked his younger brother.

"I found this at the house," Alex answered. "It's for you."

Nat took the paper and read what was written on it. More tears came down his cheeks as he read it over and over. The others noticed and came over.

"What is that?" Thomas asked Alex.

"It's a note from Rosalina," Alex answered not looking at the boys. And she wrote that she loves Nat."

"ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS?" Thomas yelled.

"This is just perfect!" David yelled angrily. Then the chief's office door opened and the officer came out.

"Okay kids, we've sent out officers and warned the nearby towns. We'll find your friend..."
