Runaway (little club)

Chapter 35

Leo pov
I could see the heart ache in his eyes as he looked around the store. Wondering where he could go.

"Raven I know you don't trust me-"

"NO SHIT!" He screamed, running his hands violently through his hair. I could see his breathing getting heavier. I could see it in his eyes that he was worried. I didn't have a plan. Hell i didn't even think I could go through with this one. I watched as his face filled with fear as the sirens got closer. This was so wrong of me but I didn't know why.

Arthur told me he killed Carly. He killed her. He killed her.

He-
"Damnit!" Raven screamed, looking around frantically. Wait, why was I listening to Arthur? Confusion filled me as I waited for a minute.

That smell. The horrid smell in the back of Arthur's car...was that?

Oh my god. I'm going to be sick. He wouldn't...Arthurs not a-

"Leo it was Arthur! I loved Carly, she was like a sister to me! Why would I kill her!?" Raven screamed, clutching my shirt as my back hit the wall.

"Arthur's not a-" I tried to say before I got cut off by myself. I stopped for a second the world stopped too.

"He had help! Leo I don't care but you can't put me in jail for a crime I didn't do!" He shouted. Nodding my head, I didn't know if I could fully trust him but I pulled his phone out of my pocket. He grabbed it quickly, dialing Little Kelly's number. I tried to reason with myself. Thinking of all the possibilities of what was happening.

"Little Kelly im at the mall, I need you to come get me.
Yes take the kids!" He screamed into the phone. Finally he turned to me, his eyes filled with a anger I had never seen before. Honestly I expected him to hit me. Punch me. Kick me. Choke me.

I expected anything to hurt me instead he said nothing. Which hurt me more than him physically doing it.

I opened my mouth to speak but he shook his head.

"I don't want to hear it." He explained. It was short and simple but I got his point. Slowly I came off the wall and we walked- speed walked to my car where Kelly had just parked. She rolled down the window and stopped once she saw me. I saw the horror cross her face before she looked at Raven.

"I'll explain." He told her gently before getting into the car quickly. I watched as they sped off, and I almost decided to leave before I had to explain what happened to the police.

Needless to say I got a ticket. Sighing I shoved everything into my car and I knew what I had to do. I had to find out what was in Arthur's car.

I was scared. Terrible horrified to wonder what I would find. I should've known Arthur was up to something the second he saw me in jail. That felt like so long ago. Now looking back on it. I wished I wasn't so oblivious. Stupid enough to believe that Raven.. my longtime best friend. The person who helped me every-time me and Carly had a problem...which wasn't often but it happened.

When I arrived back at my house Arthur's car was still parked in the same spot. It was dark out now, the morning sky had gone down and it was close to 10pm. Biting my lip I shut my car door quietly. Walking closer I made my way to the back of Arthur's car and opened the door. It was still unlocked from when I opened it before.

"Please don't be a dead body." I muttered to myself, bracing for any kind of impact I was going to hit. Slowly k crawled to the back of the car, my body slammed into the trunk. Groaning in pain I rolled over and laid for a minute. Pain soared through my head, I can't remember it feeling so...deep down here. My eyes opened and k looked up to see the roof of the car.

Sighing slowly, it was cold. Very cold. I couldn't feel most of my body, I turned to my side.

You know I'm horrible movies when they fall and then turn their head and there's a body right next to them?

I could feel my heart drop. Everything in the world went quiet as I stared back into the eyes of the person I used to know.

Used to love.

There she was in all her glory. Gory.

Little Carly.
