Runaway (little club)

Ch 29

Raven POV
"What!?" I yelled, Leo stood up and walked closer to me. He didn't push me or punch me, he just stared at me. I reached out my hand, my urges to touch him and be with him took over. I lightly put my hand on his cheek, that's how close I was. To having everything I'd ever dreamed of...with him. He leaned into my touch...Atleast that's what it looked like. Before he slapped my hand away and grabbed me by the neck. Pushing me up against the wall. I heard my head slam into the wall behind us and his hand grip my throat.

I gasped for air but I knew he wouldn't kill me, I Atleast knew that. From the corner of my eye I saw Kelly was staring in shock and Arthur was shocked as well. But there was something that was different in his eyes. He looked like he had expected this. But also didn't at the same time...does that make sense? Or am I going crazy because of lack of oxygen...? I don't know anymore..

My nails scratched his hand almost begging for him to release me. He lightened his grip and I felt better but it wasn't enough to fully help. I was able to look into his eyes, he hated me. He was barely able to maintain eye contact with me without tightening his hand.

"You are dead to me" I flinched at the sharpness in his voice. He let me go finally, the air coming back to me as I dropped to the floor on my knees. I was able to look up at him as he walked towards Arthur.

"Let's go" He mumbled, looking more upset than I thought. Arthur just nodded unable to form any words and they walked out. Like nothing happened. Like that wasn't the hottest thing he has ever done...okay not the time for that. Get your head back in the game Raven!

I shook the thoughts out of my head and put my hand up to my throat as Kelly walked over and put her hand out.

"I'm sorry for not doing anything...I-"

"It's not your fault...there was nothing you could do without Arthur doing something" I responded as I took her hand and she helped me up.

"What was that?" She asked me, turning her head as she stared out the door.

"I don't know" I responded as I pulled her arm out the doors again. I saw Arthur shutting the truck of his car...that's when I remembered what I saw.

"Fuck" I breathed out.

"Raven...what did you see in the back of the car..?" She asked me as we watched Arthur's car speed away. Almost too quickly.

"Carly's body"

Leo POV
I felt like shit. My head was spinning and my heart was hurting. Carly was dead because of Raven and it didn't make any sense. Raven and Carly always seemed to have a good relationship so why would he do this?

"Why did he do it?"

"From what I know...I think he was jealous"Now I was definitely confused.

"Jealous..? What do you mean?" I asked turning my head and trying to make eye contact with him. But he kept his eyes completely on the road.

"That she had you and not him, I heard that they got into a fight the night before you guys had that sleepover" What..? It all started at the beginning...

"How do you know about the sleepover..?" I asked, the question that was on my mind right now. Everything was on my mind right now. Everything made no sense and I was so confused.

"Oh Ramona told me about it..." His hand went up and slapped his mouth like he just said something that I wasn't supposed to know.

"What? Ramona?" I said, my eyes attempting to look into his. But he refused and he was swearing nervously.

"Yeah we've gotten...close" He responded. Oh my god...

"Arthur! You can't be serious!?" I yelled. He shook his head and almost looked down ashamed of himself.

"We're here" he responded. I looked around and all I saw was the castle rhag I tried so hard to run away from. So hard to leave and I almost succeeded.

"Come on...mom and dad are waiting to see you" He said getting out of the car quickly. I watched as he quickly went inside.

"Be there soon..." I mumbled before looking down. It was cold in here...but it was like June.

"Why the fuck is it so cold in here?" I whispered before grabbing my arms and crossing them over my chest. I looked down and that's when I let it out. Tears were streaming and my leg was shaking. Fuck that. My entire body was shaking at this point, I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't hold myself together anymore. Everything was crumbling.

"Fuck!" I yelled. My hands going up and hurting the front of the car, I felt the blood run down my hand. I clenched my fist and squeezed my eyes shut. Raven killed Carly because he wanted to date me...that doesn't make any sense but my emotions are heightened right now. Everything was heightened and I could barely register anything that was going on.

I was able to finally calm myself down before cleaning up my eyes and walking inside. I needed to sleep and try to unfog my brain and maybe I could think rationally. But I highly doubt it. The second I walked in my mom ran up and hugged me. She was holding me so tightly and rocking slightly.

"Alright, that's enough" I tried to say nicely but it came out very rude and ignorant. I felt her arms release in me and my dad come up and pat me on the shoulder. It felt weird but it was kind of nice.

"It's good to see you again son" He said, Boeing to me. I nodded before looking at Arthur who just kept his head down. I took in a deep breath as my mom was rapidly speaking.

"I'm sorry mom...I need to sleep. I've had a long...trip" I stated, almost too flatly that it didn't sound believable.

"Oh..okay...that's alright honey. Please get some rest and I will see you whenever you get up" I nodded and made my way upstairs. My head was spinning and as I got into my room I smelt a familiar scent.

"Kelly, what are you doing here?"
