There's no remedy for memory,
your face is like a melody.
It won't leave my head

LANA DEL REY
DARK PARADISE











Juliet was a smart child. She asked the man why he didn't just take Juliet home first, and then take home Jeremy after. Especially since William and Jeremy were going the same place.


But William could think on his feet.


"Jeremy has to help his mom get ready for dinner. Plus we were almost at my house anyways."
He said, smiling through the rear view window.

"Clearwater Estates. You can just drop me off in front and i'll walk to my house."




The name "Clearwater Estates" of Juliet's childhood home always seemed kinda ironic. One because there was an actual lake next to the park, and the water was anything but clear. Two, the trailers on her street looked nothing like "Estates".





Juliet rode in the car for a bit. She looked out the window, waiting to arrive at her neighborhood. She waited for the turn on 547. That was the road that switched from the good part of town, to the "bad" part.

Juliet lived in the "bad" part.



She watched him pass the turn.



She wasn't worried, he probably forgot.
The idea of kidnapping wasn't even a thing. That was something you saw on the news. No one had ever been kidnapped where Juliet lived.




Not yet






"um sir I think you missed my turn."
She smiled sweetly. She waited for him to respond.

She wasn't worried
Not at all.




But he didn't respond. The man kept driving, his eyes on the road. She felt the car speed up.



"You missed my turn."
Juliet said more firmly this time. They were now on a back road. Juliet looked at her surroundings, grasping for something she could recognize.
She heard the click of the car doors locking. She tried to open them again, and again, and again.

But there was nothing.


She looked around in the car for something to use.

Rope
Duct tape
Hammer
Book


Hammer



She grabbed it, and quickly began banging on the window. William noticed and tried to wrestle out of her hand while he drove, but it was no use.
