The Girl In The Dirty Shirt Noel Version

Chapter 125

I frowned "Who's looking for me?"

Then I heard screaming through the phone, it was my mom.

"Sally, who is looking for me, what's-"

Then I heard him.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?!"

My mom screamed again and I heard her tell him I was gone, I was on tour with Noel in Australia.

"Sally where are you?" I asked "Why didn't you call the police?!"

"I don't know what to do, Ly"

I could tell she was crying.

"NOEL!" I screamed

"He's going to kill me"

My heart was pounding in my chest.

"Where are you?"

"Under mom's bed"

I turned around as Noel came into the kitchen and he frowned seeing the look on my face.

"Lyla-"

"Call the police, now" I whispered listening on his phone.

"What's-"

"Just call, send them to my mom's!"

He turned around picking up the house phone and dialling.

"Sally, I'm right here, Noel's calling the police, just hang tight okay?"

"Lyla I can't, he's going to-"

"Sally, listen to me" I swallowed hard trying to keep my composure, I was about to lie my ass off quite possibly the last time I'd ever talk to my sister.

"He's an asshole, not a murderer, just stay where you are and stay on the phone with me; Noel and I are on our way"

I handed Noel my keys as he picked up Jack and we both ran out to my car.

I could hear Sally crying on the other end and it broke my heart.

I grabbed Noel's hand and squeezed hard as Sally muffled a scream with her hand and I didn't hear mom anymore. 

"Sally?" I asked "Talk to me"

"Lyla..." She cried "He..."

"SALLY, YOU STUPID BITCH, GET OUT HERE!"

"Don't move!" I whispered

"He killed Mommy" she cried trying to muffle her tears.

My whole world ground to a halt.

"I can hear sirens..."

"Good, just-"

I swallowed hard trying not to cry. I could hear glass breaking in the house.

"Just...stay there; we're right around the corner"

I closed my eyes and felt the tears slide down my cheeks; Noel squeezed my hand harder, I didn't have to tell him, he always just knew.

"I'm right here, Sally," I cried "He's not going to hurt you, I swear to god"

"Lyla, he killed Mommy," she cried harder "He's going to kill me!"

"Where is he?"

"I don't know, downstairs somewhere"

"Don't come out from under the bed until Noel or I come to get you, okay?"

I wouldn't put it past him to pretend to be a cop.

Noel turned onto mom's street and it was full of cop cars.
