A/N lol Cleo has been pleading to post another chapter all day and that includes spaming me so here it is. Happy Cleo?
I opened the door to the house and stepped into the living room. I had thrown my jacket on the ground and was standing there, my heart racing at what felt like a terrifyingly high speed.
"Are you alright babe" said Miles, his voice sounded worried, I looked at him with tears swelling in my eyes.
And I broke down.
Collapsing, I let all the tears fall. Miles had jumped up and ran over.
Pulling me up onto his lap, he cradled me, and tried to stop me from crying, but to no avail.
I buried my face into his chest and let him hold me. Miles looked at Ben, pulled out a $20 and whispered "go to McDonald's and buy her a sundae and fries or I'm going to be stuck holding her as she cries", "ok" replied Ben "but if I take a little longer, it's because I'm buying something for me", and with that me left leaving me and Miles on the floor in the living room.
"What's going on?" Miles asked and when I didn't respond he tried something else, "ok, are you stressed?"I let out another sob, "mhm", "alright, what can I do?" he asked "don't die, please. I've lost so much and I can't lose you either." I replied.
Laughing he said, "I will not die, not yet anyway". He kissed my head and gently rocked me.
Then the door opened and Ben walked in carrying McDonald's bags.
"You didn't" I said to Miles, he smiled "I did".
Standing up, he pulled me up with him and carried me to the couch, "now, eat" he said, handing me my bag and sitting next to me.
And I did, though the boys did look at me weirdly when I dipped my fries in my ice-cream, "what!?" I exclaimed "they taste good together", "if you say so" said Ben rolling his eyes and taking another bite of his burger.
Later that night, I collapsed into bed, letting all my emotions sink into the bed sheets as I lay there staring at the ceiling.
There was then a knock at the door, "come in" I said, Miles walked in. "Are you feeling better?" he asked, "much better thank you" I replied, he came and lay next to me, "why so early?", "We have school tomorrow, so I need my rest," I replied moving closer to him and closing my eyes.
"I love you" he whispered, his breath brushing over my hair, and that's the last thing I heard before I fell asleep, darkness falling over me like a blanket.
The next morning, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, the space next to me was empty, 'Miles must already be up' I thought, getting up and slipping into some sweatpants.
"Morning" said Miles, "morning" I replied sadly "oh no, what is it!?" he asked suddenly alarmed, I looked up at him "I need a coffee" I said pouting.
"Oh, phew I thought something was wrong" he said relieved, "my life is wrong" I muttered, "what was that?" said Ben as he walked into the kitchen, "nothing" I said.
He narrowed his eyes at me but said nothing.
I made myself a coffee and left to go get ready for the school day that lay ahead.
"Ready?" Miles asked, "you bet" I replied smiling "good, lets go", and we left the house and headed for school.
When we arrived at school, I parted from Ben and Miles, and walked down the hallway to my Literacy class.
"Girl, where have you been?" came a familiar voice, I turned around to see my bestie, Charlotte "oh hi Charlotte" I said "sorry, I've had a few family issues that needed to be dealt with, you know financial stuff" I told her.
She raised her eyebrows "really?", "or are you ditching school to be with your boyfriend, because he hasn't been at school either" she said giving me a questioning look.
"As much as I hate saying it, it is none of your business what happens between me and Miles, nor what happens at home, but I've told you the truth, my family is going through some tough times" I told her, trying to make it sound as nice as possible.
"Alright, I believe you, but if I find out otherwise. . .''She cut herself off and followed me to class.
"Alright class" said the literacy teacher, "I am pleased to say everyone turned in their assignments, and now because we only have a week of school left before the term 3 holidays, you are allowed to quietly work on other assignments, or have free time".
I was relieved that I didn't have any work, so I sat there and thought, then my phone went off.
"Shit" I muttered, and I reached to turn it off, and realized it was Maria, "sorry Maria" I muttered and I declined the call.
At the training centre. . . . . . . .
"Alright team" said Maria "it seems that our assassin is not answering the phone and we must take matters into our own hands, there is a reported HNS member in Rolleston and they are moving quickly" she paused quickly "instead of killing them, we are going to kidnap them and make them talk, if we can capture one, they might be able to lead us to the HNS HQ", that sent a ripple of conversation through the group, "shut up!" Yelled Maria, "this is the only way we're going to be able to take them down faster".
It took them a while to prepare, but eventually Maria had assembled a team and they set out to capture the rogue HNS member.
Later that day. . . .
"Well, are you going to call her back?" Miles asked "yes!" I yelled for the fourth time "just give me some time!"
"Okay, okay sorry" Miles said, as I pulled out my phone and dialed Maria's number.
"Ah, Celine" came Marias voice "look Maria I'm really sorry, I'll deal with them now" I apologised "no point" replied Maria "we have them with us, and it's a female, she says her name's Alaina".
At the sound of the girl's name I hung up the phone, "Miles. Turn the car around and get to the training centre, now" I told him.
"What why?" asked Ben "no time to explain, just go" I said.
Miles pulled over and then turned the car around, we drove down the street, slowly getting closer to the training centre, it felt like an age but we arrived finally.
I jumped out of the car and ran towards the front door.
I tried to open it, but it was locked. Raising my fist I knocked, a hard firm knock.
Maria answered, "you hung up, what for?", "no time to explain" I said, "I need to see this HNS member", "but of course" Maria said, moving to the side giving us a clear path.
"Thanks" I said, before running inside and turning the corners charply, almost running into one of the computer men (charlie) "woah watch it" he snapped "sorry!" I said quickly, before running away again.
Finally reaching the training room, I pushed the door open and there tied to a chair, face full of pain and agony, was my little sister Alaina.
"Mi Hermana" I whispered.
