“ELENA”

“Who’s on the gate babe” I heard his girlfriend calling from the inside.

He kept looking at me blankly nonplussed standing at the gate like statue. My misty eyes meet with his, and when I realized finally I reached a safe place, energy drifted away from my body and my knees buckled.  He quickly reacted when he saw my steps tottering and holding me from my shoulders he helped me to walk in.

‘Chris, who’s she?’ his girlfriend said coming towards him with astonished expressions.

“Emma bring a glass of water” he said in hurry and placed me on their couch. I was not unconscious but slightly dizzy. I looked at his girlfriend who without any question but with a lot of questions and astonished expressions went inside and came back with a glass in her hand.

Chris gave me the glass and I thirstily drunk the full glass in one go before saying ‘one more please’.

She nodded and went inside and soon came back with filled glass again. After drinking water when my dry throat eased I looked at Chris who was looking at me dumbfounded not understanding what to do. My whole body was quivering. 

After few minutes he sat near me ‘Are you alright now?’ his first question. 

I nodded my head silently. 

‘Ughh... What...what are you doing in Italy Elena?’ he asked softly looking at my condition, surprise and shock both registered on his face. 

When her girlfriend heard my name she looked at me dumbfounded like know about me.

I felt my throat closing up and a stream of uncontrollable tears flow down from my eyes faster than my heartbeat, lips trembling. He and his girlfriend both didn't said anything just kept staring at me blankly and I knew they were startled by my sudden appearance. 

'Hey, hey, what happened? why are you crying?' he asked softly. 

'I am sorry... for showing up like this but...I need...your help Chris' I managed to said from my hiccups sobbing.

'I am...sorry Emma for troubling..You people'. I don't know whether she knew or not about me but it's totally unfair and weird when you barge in someone’s house without knowledge and when the someone is his boyfriends ex.

'Hey, it's completely fine Elena, I know about you. You are Chris friend and that makes you my friend too. First you calm down and after that tell us what happened' saying this she sat beside me and started consoling me by rubbing my back soothingly. She is truly nice Julie was not wrong about her.

Chris was Julie's cousin and he used to love me. It was only him with whom I tried to have a relationship in my twenty years of life. He knew something happened in my past, that's all. But due to my past even after trying a lot to establish a good relationship with him I wasn't able to love him back and nor I was able to tell him the reason and truth so I ended our relationship at a bad note leaving him behind. I didn't wanted him to take the blame on him and neither did I wanted him to waste his whole life on me when he deserved someone much better who worth his love and can love him back. I never talked him again after that and cut all the ties with him taking all blame on me so that he could move on easily from me. After that he left America and came to Italy. Here he found Emma and fall in love with her. Julie used to tell me about him and Emma many times and I was very happy that he finally find someone who can gave him the same love he deserved and he move on from me. It's been two years since we last talked.

'Tell us what happened Elena, how can you be in Italy. Julie told me you shifted to LA a year ago' he said from my side.

I wiped my tears away and after taking long deep breaths when I calmed down I whispered gulping my saliva.

'I didn't came here on my own Chris, someone... someone kidnapped me a month ago and brought me to Italy from LA'

'What?' And his eyes almost popped out from their socket on hearing me.

'It’s been a month since I am in Italy. The people who kidnapped me are very dangerous. He took my phone away and caged me in his mansion. He tortured me. I was trying for a month to escape him and today when I finally got a chance I escaped'. 

'I don't know anyone in Italy and didn't understand where to go but then I remembered about you so I called Julie when I somwhoe got lift and asked him your address. I want to go back to my family Chris, please help me. I don't have any money' and saying this I again burst into a set of tears.

Chris was shocked on hearing my story so his girlfriend and after a long pause he speak again.

'Do anyone in your family know you are kidnapped, does Julie know?' he questioned with seriousness.

I shook my head in no.

'You did right thing by coming to me. We will go to police and report a complaint. You tell them everything, ok' he said politely rubbing my knees.

'I don't know about police Chris, I am not in situation to go to police right now. I don't know whether they will help us or not. I promised mom I'll be with them this Friday and only two days were left. I just want to go back to Newyork'. 

'They were powerful and rich people Chris. I escaped when he was out but when he'll found out I am missing, I can't imagine what he will do, he's a pysco and fucking sick about me. It's not hard for him to find anyone, he brought me from LA to Italy without my passport or identity' I managed to tell them sniffing.

'OK, ok. now you are safe don't worry, calm down. No one will be able to find you just calm down' Emma said softly and hugged me. 

'We need to help her Chris, whoever those people are we have to report a police complaint' she muttered releasing me.

Chris came to my front and sat on his knees and hold my hands.

'Elena, listen to me' but I kept crying and weeping. He gave a look to his girlfriend and she nodded.

'Look, don't worry, nothing will happen to you. You are safe now, you can trust me. Ok' he said stroking my hairs and wiping my tears away. 'You are safe'
