One life left

Its all a lie

Staring at joey right now wondering who he really was. When his eyes widen in at the bandage I had just peeled off he notices the wound. "Wtf happened to you?! You were suppose to dispose of him not get your self stabbed" he yelled crossing the lounge. "Go and get Kate" he spoke low I wasn't sure I heard him right. His voice was so calm as if to not scare me again. Shaking, I could feel my breathing coming out in small pants. Ben suddenly noticed I was having a panic attack. He suddenly stood up of the sofa forgetting the fact that he's currently bleeding to come and attend to me. Well at least that what my head wanted, instead he took my first aid kit and just left. He didn't look back or take note of the fact I fell and banged my head still struggling to get my breath back.

Waking the next morning in my bed not remembering to much of what happened the night before I got up. I rushed to the front gates in my pjs hoping joey would there to explain what happened last night only to discover he's not here today. "Jamie have you seen joey?" I tried to keep my voice even but he could sense the shake in my voice. "No sorry I haven't you know he finishes at 7".

Heading back to the house I see Kate cooking up breakfast in the kitchen in the main kitchen. "Good morning! Do you want some juice and usual fruit and yogurt" she chirped as if nothing happened. I eyed her up to see if she was acting differently but she did well to keep her mask up. Taking a seat at the table giving a short reply of yes. I thought about my next words carefully to try and gage her reaction.

"What happened last night kate? I know Ben was here bleeding and joey asked to get you" I narrowed my eyes at her watching her closing and I could swear I seen her tense up. She turns around and hands me the pancakes and fruit, looking into her eyes I can see she's calculating what to say. She took a deep breath and her next words shocked me." My name isn't Kate, my name is Ellie" she was watching my reaction now. "I used to work for the police along with joey but then we created our organisation to help young people who were victims of different crimes" slowly she came over to the table and sat down. I stood up and started to back away from her. She started to reach for me but I was quick enough to move my hand away. "Anna please come sit down so I can explain". Her pleas fell on deaf ears as I ran to my room, I quickly got changed. Kate or Ellie or who ever she is just stood there at the bottom of the stairs when I came out of my room. I bolted past her as she tried to reach me again, maybe she was trying to get me to listen to reason. Something I didn't need right now. Ripping the garage door open I jumped into my car and shot to the gate to get to college. Trying to steady my hammering heart as I drove I'm wondering what else I wasn't being told. Pulling up to college and putting on my best fake smile I waltzed into class. Noticing cara, Brooklyn and Ben wasn't here today I decided I would sit alone.

Dazing in and out of class listening to the professor, talking about everything I couldn't comprehend because my mind was spinning more than the Tasman devil. Finally shaking my head and at least trying to listen when there was a sudden knock on the door. Low and behold there was joey with a member of staff. "Sorry to disturb you professor but I need Anna to come with me" I could see joeys warm welcoming smile I had grown used to over the years but I'm left wondering how genuine it is. But strangely even though this man in front of me and maybe god knows who else in my life may have lied I still felt strangely safe.

Shuffling my feet across the car park I see there is a big van, with wide eyes I turned to run when I noticed Ben sitting in the drivers seat. Joey grabbed my bag before I could run and tried to reassure me I'm safe. I didn't everything I could to turn and run but I didn't get far before he picked up and put me in the back. Just as I was about to reach the door he slammed it shut and I saw Ellie sitting back here to with sadness in her eyes.

"Who the fuck do you think you are! Let me go!" I tried the door over and over but it was no use it was locked. Ben sneered at me to be quite as it sounded like they were kidnapping me. Errrmmm I'm sure it looks that way because your are?! We finally pulled up to my house and went though the gates. Why wasn't Jamie questioning anything, then a sicken thought went in my head. After finally being able to control my dark thoughts this is how it's going end? Just as the van pulled up near the front door I calculated a plan. Just as the door opened I kicked joey in the face and ran. My legs pumping as fast as they would go I ran around the back and into the back door and locked it behind me. Ellie and joey were banging on the door telling me to let them in but fear was making my choices now. Running to main entrance to try and get a head start to the garage stood Ben.

"You stupid girl, why won't you just listen" he reached for me but I was determined to not get caught. Slipping past him by a single hair I made it to the garage. What was I running from? Why was I so terrified of the people who had prime chance to hurt me? I honestly carnt say. Ben stood there just as I was trying to get into a car with the garage remote.

"Please just stop and listen, I honestly think your going to want to hear what they have to say" his voice seemed calmer, almost pleading.
