## Half and Half

Post by JackBrentonSucka » Tue Apr 12, 2011 6:32 pm

Jonathan Tauzell,who many people called "The Bunny", stirred in his sleep. He was not normally the type to do such,so it was weird-which John's best friend,Ben Karls, noticed. His mom had not been able to take a week off of work-she worked as a CEO of this mega corporation-so Ben and John got approval for Ben to stay with John for awhile
John's window was open, so Ben's curly light brown hair swayed all around his neck-which made him nervous. After all, Ben's secret fear has always been things around his neck-secret to the world besides John,anyways. Ben envied John's short dirty blond hair, as it was about two inches from his neck. Ben swirled a strand of hair around his finger. He couldn't sleep. Ben usually felt uncomfortable at John's house-mainly because his security wasn't as great as Ben's. Ben was afraid of many things, and he hated being the most unbrave person he knew. At Ben's house, there is a very thick and high metal fence-and a great security system. As for John's place,it just wasn't the same-as he had no security. "John?" Ben heard John's mom call. John sat up, tired and lazy.
"Yeah,mom?" he asked, very annoyed that his sleep was interupted.
"Me and your father are going to Olive Garden for dinner..." her voice breaks off. "Will you and Ben be okay?" she asks. While John didn't care much about safety, his mom would make him wear a bullet proof vest if they went out of country-which Ben and John found sort of rascist. John rolled his eyes.
"Yeah. Hey, are we allowed to play with knives?" John asked sarcastically. His mom frowned.
"That's not funny." she turned to Ben. "Do you know what to do if his blood pressure gets to high?" she asks him.
"Mommmmmm." John whined. As a 16 year old, he often did this.
"Yeah, i do." Ben says. John shoots him a look. He was terribly embarrassed of his diabetes, and it didn't help when his mom talked about it. Considering this, his face turned a little red.
At around 7:30,thirty minutes after John's mom left, there was a huge crash-which sounded like a window breaking. The boys had been watching the Futurama marathon when it happened. Ben jumped up, terrified. John did the same. He looked at the massive pile of blankets,inside was a flashlight. Heart pounding he turned to Ben. " Should we go see what it was?" he whispered, not even daring to raise his voice. Upstairs were footsteps. Ben shook his head rapidly.
"No way! What if its a break in?" he whispered frantically. John arched his eyebrows.
"Stop being a baby. Lets go." John grabbed the flashlight, and turned away to go upstairs-forcing Ben to follow. He strictly focused only on the back of John's dark blue hoodie. When upstairs, John and Ben were grabbed. There three guys, all more muscular and bulky than John and Ben. Two of the guys covered Ben and John's mouths, while the other guy pointed a gun at both of them.
"Who's house is this?" he asks in a very low voice. John pointed to his chest to the best of his ability. The guy looked at the one holding onto John-and immediately,he let go. John trembled, and the main guy kept his gun locked to John, but took a couple steps closer.
"Listen closely to me. I give you my word i will not harm you, if you do everything i say. Clear?"
"Yes.." John said weakly. The guy nodded.
After the guy made John tell him where everything valubale was, he loaded them both into his van. When inside, they saw handcuffs and duct tape. John's dazing hazel eyes widened, and he trembled. Ben couldn't stand to see John so scared like he was. Both of the guys got handcuffed,-together-and the guys put four strips of duct tape over each of their mouths. John's body shook rapidly while the people drove away from John's. Ben got all worried-he's seen this happen to John before. This is what happened at the scarce moments when John was scared. His diabetes were taking over. Ben started trying to lick the tape off his mouth, and it helped. When it was off, he realized John was laying on the floor, passed out.
"JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he screamed as loud as humanly possible.

***Part Two***
This story will now be continued through Ben's POV.
The men stared at me as if i had lost my mind-as did John. It confused me very much. Hadn't he just been unconcious? I had definately thought so. The main dude slammed on his breaks, and crawled over the front seat. He ripped the tape violently off of John's mouth.
"What's going on?!" he yelled at me. I gestured to John.
"He just..." my voice broke off. The guy looked at me and John. John had arched both of his eyebrows. I looked shamely at the floor.
"Nevermind." I say finally. The guy cocked his head at me.
"Just stay quiet,kid." he says. I flash my eyelashes up and down. When he goes back up to the front, John looks at me-but I just drop his gaze. We remain smart and stay quiet.
We reach the middle of a cornfield,where there are countless rolls of duct tape. I looked at John, and he showed no emotion. Had him passing out just had been an illusion? Was there something wrong with my mind? I hoped not. One of the guys dragged John somewhere else-so he was out of sight. The leader guy was the one who nabbed me. I trembled. He had brought out a chair. "W-what are you going to do to me??" i asked, and I was POSITIVE i couldn't be more scared.
"I'm not going to do much,to be honest with you." He pushed me into the old wooden chair, that looked like it could break any moment. He handed me a big roll of duct tape.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" I asked, scared and confused.
"Tape just above your knees." he says. I do the smart thing, and quicky oblige. He tells me i can stop after I've wrapped it around atleast seven times.
"Now below." he says. I do below only five times. I guess I wasn't wrapping tight enough, so he slapped me across my face, and told me to do it as tight as i could.
"Ankles." he snaps. He makes me do this ten times. My face was still stinging when he handed me a piece of cloth.
"In your mouth." he says. I shiver, but quickly stuff it in my mouth.
"Now wrap the tape around your mouth until i tell you to stop." he snaps. I didn't want to do it over my hair,-or have it remotely close to my neck-but I remembered his gun, and i didn't want to get shot. He makes me wrap it around fourteen times. Then, he takes over.
He wraps the area just above my thighs to the chair six times, and does the same as he wraps my waist securely to the chair. He wraps my stomach to the chair-and I'm pretty tall,so that's alot-so that none of my new Smosh shirt was showing. He forced my hands behing the chair and wrapped the tape around THIRTEEN times. To finish me off, he tapes my shoulders to the chair. He then takes a scarf. At first, i think he's going to blindfold me,but it's much worse-he puts it around my neck.

*I have decided this story will switch POVs from John to Ben,and keep it going from different people.*
*John's POV*
The guy holding onto me was holding me very tightly by my shoulder. He dragged me to a house-one of the "regular" ones-and forced me against a wall. "Let me go!" i shreiked. He back handed me,hard. Being quite small,i knew i couldn't do anything to him.
"Shut up,kid." he said plainly,sounding like he could go to sleep if he wanted to.
"And you're gonna make me?" I asked, stepping a little closer. I didn't know what was running through my mind at the time, because this guy was huge. He slapped me again. I flinched and decided to make a run for it. I was very, very, very fast, after all. Being captain of the track team back at Century, I knew I could out run him. I bolted right out the door, and didn't slow down. After he was out of sight, i slowed down, and collasped to the ground. I stood on my knees-which had gotten scrapped from all the pebbles-trying to catch my breath. I looked around, and the guy wasn't anywhere. I quickly felt my pockets and realized the guy didn't take my phone. I pulled it out quickly. My head was racing, and i didn't even remember the number for the police. I punched in the number three-which was my friend Riya Souen's speed dial. I didn't know how i remembered this at all.
"Hello?" his dreary voice answered. I sighed in relief.
"Riya,you gotta help me! Me and Ben were-" i was cut off by sound of the notification of my phones battery being dead. I muttered a bunch of swear words under my breath, and threw my phone into a nearby lake. Then it hit me. I needed to help Ben, wherever he was.
I ran all over the huge cornfield, in search of Ben. I eventually found him, duct taped to a chair-with a scarf around his neck. He must've fallen asleep, because when i reached him, he wasn't totally freaking out. He wasn't dead, which was obvious because of his very heavy breathing, and all the sweat that made his hair stick to his face. He wasn't asleep;when i took the scarf off, his head shot up. He started screaming into his gag, and i hugged onto him to the best of my ability.
"Shh!Ben,it's just me,you're gonna be fine!" I said, trying to calm him. I grabbed ahold of the duct tape,and started to unwind it. After i had successfully untaped him, he jumped to his feet and hugged me.
"Lets get outta here!" He screeched, and ran off. I followed him-having to sprit because of his long strides. He crashed into the leader guy, who glared at us sharply. Ben side-stepped him, and ran. I tried to follow, but the guy grabbed me by the waist. Ben skidded to stop when he realized I wasn't following him.

*Ben*
I wouldn't have been in this situation-had I not gone back to help John. After all, he's like my brother and I couldn't leave him alone. I would've regretted it if I had not gone back. The reason being we were now free. When I had my hallucination about John earlier, our kidnapper's van got some attention from a teenage boy who had been hiding behind some trees with some friends. This boy had been Torey Kennedy-me and John had seen him from school lots of times,but we didn't know him much.
There was the fact that John's mom knew Torey's mom ever since they were in fourth grade. So everytime his mom is over at John's house, she drags Torey along. Even though that was atleast four times a week, John and Torey never made any progress as friends-until now.
As it turns out, when the van stopped, Torey didn't dare to step close to it-but he did take the license plate number.
That led to John and me getting driven home. We'd been gone for atleast two days, but it still worried so many people. One of the police officers driving us cleared his throat. I paid no attention to him, and kept looking hastily at the snow that had fell yesterday. After me and John had gotten caught the second time, we had to endure VERY hard slapping before they had left us handcuffed in the cold basement over night. When they had seen the snowfall, John had a very unpleasant encounter with them-meaning they shoved his face into the snow, multiple times. Thats when the police had shown up.
Next to me, John's teeth chattered unceasingly. I looked at him uneasily, but I told myself he'd be okay. Because I couldn't even lie convincingly to myself,I had to check. "John?" I whispered under my breath so the police wouldn't hear.
"Yeah?" he asked, shifting in his seat. Maybe I was worrying too much. I just wouldn't ask.
"I love you. You know-in a brotherly type of way." I said, meeting his watery eyes. He smiled.
"Same here. But i'll get over you, you're not that awesome."
The End.
**Make sure you guys check out the seqeaul, it's coming out soon-if not today!**
