The school day was horrible for Tessa. All her friends ditched without telling her so basically she talked to no one, and no one talked to her. It was kind of sad because Tess only had a select amount of friends that she was almost certain just used her for her money. Her and her "friends," were considered the popular group at school. They weren't mean girls or anything, but they could be. One time her friend Tiffany poured milk on a 6th graders head because he tried to sit at their table. Tessa hated thinking about what her and her friends had done to people they didn't even know.
On her way walking home, the girl could hear loud footsteps getting closer and closer behind her. She didn't know where Paul was so he couldn't defend her. Tess calmed down and thought to herself Maybe I'm overreacting...lots of people like to walk or jog around this part of to-" Before Tessa finished her though, she was grabbed from behind. Having anxiety and asthma wasn't fun in this situation. Tess couldn't help but hyperventilate. But that did her no good because the man had managed to physically throw her into a car and slam the door shut.
Paul ditched the rest of the school day as usual. To be honest, Paul could care less about school. He got somewhat good grades so at east he was an average student. Paul also hated school because girl hounded him. He was more attractive than most of the football team but he didn't play any sports so he couldn't understand why these girl were so attracted to him. They didn't even know him! Off in the distance, Paul heard the last bell of the day ring and he went on his home. Although he noticed something very strange. A large man coated in black forcing a girl into this car that had writing on it. Mrs. Diegel's Home for the Mentally Insane. He could hear the screams and sobs from the girl that managed to escape the man's hand that covered her mouth. Then it hit him. Tess...
The boy was angry. His sister and mother were the only family he had and someone thought they could just take them away like that?! Paul sprinted at the man only to be somehow also beaten and thrown into the car. Paul comforted his hysterically crying sister. He hugged her and held her tight. Paul felt Tessa nuzzle into his shoulder still sobbing. The boy could tell that she was scared. But what was even worse was, she didn't even know where they were headed.
