Their Innocence✓ [UNEDITED]

Twenty Eight

i called up trinny and sighed. putting her on speakerphone and waiting for her to respond

but instead, I just heard panicked sobs before the car stopped. and something in both me and Ryan broke

"Trinny"

I asked

"You need to run"

She choked

"What?"

I asked

"Your brothers friends are murderers. Theyre criminals"

She said as i heard her get on the jet

"No...they were protecting you trinny- believe me-"

I tried to explain. They found a tattoo on the man. Representing his relationship to a rivalling mafia. They were here to kill. 

"Stop defending them! They killed an innocent man"

She said painfully as she cried into the phone

"Where are you going to stay"

I asked and she said she didnt know, so i offered one of my penthouses and she accepted before hanging up

"Fuck"

Liam said as he came bursting into the room

"We really fucked up"

I heard james say as he walked in too

Soon enough, all my brother's friends were in the room and sitting down. Ive never seen them so defeated.

"We have to go back and get her."

James frantically said

"No."

Ryan said firmly

"We'll lose her"

"She's already gone"

"She isnt!"

The bickering continued between all of them before they left it alone and went to their seperate rooms

Tears filled my eyes, making my vision blurry and panic as the plane landed. I wiped my eyes and headed off. Walking in the streets until i found the address of the place London was lending me

I don't think she knows just how dangerous those people are.

My heart hurt as i input the code and i was let into the penthouse

Instantly, i went over to the phone lying on the side table.

Dialling in the emergency services i paused before i rang

Shit

They should be in jail! They killed a guy! But something in me just couldnt press the button

And i broke down there and then

I want ryans hugs, i want Liams soothing voice, i want them

Im pathetic. I cant even go a day without them

I realised i didnt have my phone on me. Ive lost it

Amazing

I had no way of contacting anyone

Not that i have anyone to contact

I cant believe i fell for those...those murderers

Sobs wracked through my body as i sat on the ground. staying there for ages before i fell asleep

---

I woke up to a sore throat and a headache and looked at the clock on the wall

Id slept a full day.

Jesus christ

I went into a bedroom and found some clothes that i could wear and hoped London wouldn't mind. The clothes were all from designer brands that i couldve only dreamed of wearing and i smiled a little

But it was a sad smile, making me cry again at the visions of the guy being shot by my men

I stepped back and sat on the stool in the walk in wardrobe

I eventually dressed in jeans and a shirt, leaving the penthouse and going for a walk

I have no money. No phone.

Nothing

And im rubbish at remembering phone numbers

I passed a flyer on a lamp-post and read it, taking a phone number from it and Reading the flyer

It was for voluntary work at the local animal shelter just a little way out of the city

I walked past the street where i first saw Ryan kill that man.

I shouldn't have been so quick to believe they were undercover police. Theyre filthy criminals

Criminals i like-like

Nope. Just criminals

Going back to the penthouse i used the phone that was there to ring the shelter and arrange to help volunteer on the days i have off.

I completely filled my schedule so that i didnt have time for myself.

And i did it on purpose

I looked in the fridge. It was full, and picked out some food

After i had made it i tried to eat it. I really tried. But i just couldn't

Seeing two deaths in the space of a couple of weeks really affected me

London said she rarely used this apartment so i could make it my home

And so i did. She mentioned money in the bottom cupboard in the kitchen right at the back that i could use.

i went to look for it and found it

Jesus Christ

Ive never seen this much money in my life

Smiling at her kindness i took the stack and went straight to the phone shop and bought a phone

My old phone had my credit and debit cards in, along with lots of other things

Im devastated that i lost it but i have bigger things on my mind now

Passing the police station, i debated going inside and reporting the murders i saw. But i couldn't

I can't face the thought of my men going to jail.

I walked past and straight to the bank to cancel my cards and get new ones

After that was done my stomach rumbled but images of the horrible scenes crossed my mind and i just couldn't
