The unknown

Chapter 9

POV Melanie
It was 9 pm and the sun was down.

I couldn't believe my eyes.
After 2 years I never thought I would see him again.

here in LA. He left 3 years ago and went to England but never told the world why.

"What are you doing here?" I asked cold

"No hello, no hug?" he asked me with a grin, "well if you really wanna know. I came back here for the book" his grin changed into a serious face.

"Blade, what are you talking about?" I asked acting confused not giving in .
"Let's talk in private love," he told me with a smile.

We go outside and he leads me to the Starbucks dumpster where not one person was, he had his back face me all the time so when he turned around slowly and came closer he asked.

"Where is it Melanie," he whispered in my ear. You could hear in his voice that he was angry.

"What are you talking about?" I say my heart almost jumping out , out of fear.

His temper began to raise so he put his hand on my neck my back faced the wall so I couldn't move.

"Where is it!" he yelled

I thought I was hallucinating because I saw his eyes turn red.

"I don't know what book," I told him tears forming in my eyes.

He hesitates but then he gets a bit calmer, pointing his finger at me.

"I know what you are. I need Mayden's book, now. Fast, give it to me and I will leave you unharmed" he demanded.

I close my eyes scared of what would happen next but then I feel like I can breathe again, I slowly open my eyes and he's gone.

I panicked and didn't know what to do so the first person that came to my mind was Chloe.

I know it sounds idiotic but who else could I call for help? Jayden? What would he do I just need my best friend on my side.

I take out my phone with shaky hands and tried to unlock my phone.

At this point I didn't care anymore I call Chloe and she picks up right away

"What?" She said a bit annoyed but I could hear in her voice that she was tired .

"Drink the tea it has a good herb to help you heal" I hear in the background

"I need your help, I'm sorry can I come over?" I asked her holding tears you could hear in my voice.

"are you okay? where are you? Do I need to pick you up? Yes, come over!" She replied when she heard my voice

" I'm coming right now and thank you really" I thanked her, wiping my tears away

How stupid this sounds but I don't care anymore because the only person that I really need is my best friend . I know even if I did something horrible she would be by my side and I smile at the fact that she did not hesitate to come get me . God I love her she's the best friend someone could ever ask for.

°°°

It took me 10 minutes to walk to her house but when I arrived I was calmed down a bit so I knocked on the door and someone opens the door who wasn't Chloe. Chloe isn't that tall when the door was fully open I saw Jayden with a hoodie and too puffy hair.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked worriedly.

Before I could answer Chloe popped up and pulled me inside. She hugged me tightly. I missed her hugs.
