THE BOY WHO NEVER SPOKE | Complete

Chapter Twenty-Six

"What on earth do you think you're doing here?" I ask as I look at him straight in the eyes. If Ash is here then could it be him who was sending out those letters, or is he simply here to help?

"Cool off," He giggles, "Why are you making a huge fuss about it?" He asks as he looks at all three of us, pausing at me, "I'm only here to not miss the fun." His last sentence would've been his final sentence If Sara didn't immediately see the rage build up inside me and speak up.

"This isn't fun you dick-wit." We all turned to look at Sara, stoned by the words she said, "How is running away for your life any fun?" She adds rhetorically, but Ash has no intelligence of what the phrase, a rhetorical question, means so he replied, "When you have been running away for long enough it gets fun love." He smiles his wretched smile at Sara.

The house was tiny, too tiny to fit a handful of people, but I don't know what else can happen this night. I'm yet to talk about meeting up with Kyle at my old house, but if Ash is here then this topic can be thrown in the sea until further notice.

Alissa got up and stood infront of Ash who has been on his phone for the past half an hour, "Do you have any sort of plan?" She throws her hands out, while giving him her infamous look. Alissa can easily look at someone and make them feel like idiots, I don't know how, but I envy that skill.

Ash looks away from his phone, but only for a split second, "If all you 3 are going to do is belittle me then I see no point of sharing." He says before his fingers go back to tapping away on the keyboard. I can't help but wonder what it is he has been doing on the phone all this time.

I am no stalker, but when a man like Ash is holding a phone for this long, you can't do anything but worry about what the person on the other end has planned with him. We aren't at a state where we could simply risk everything for some idiot who came to have a little bit of fun.

Time passed and walls grew quieter, I could swear it's been nearly three hours since someone said a single word. Sara passed out around an hour ago, but the sound of the door banging killed off all silence, killed off all thoughts. All of us were simply staring at one another, hoping someone build enough courage to open up the door.

"I know you're in there," The man with the cranky voice spoke, "Open the door and let us talk like humans." It was Kyle, probably drunk off his mind. I got up to open the door, looking behind me and making sure that Alissa and Ash are aware of it too, Sara deep in her sleep, "The only time we need you love." I murmur under layers of deep breaths.

Alissa got up and tapped me on the shoulder before I opened the door, Kyle still banging outside, "Take this," She pulls out a butter knife from her back pocket, "For safety." It had a strawberry on it, and a quote that said, "If you have no butter then your life is bitter."

"Don't worry my dear," I smile at Alissa, "I have something a little bit stronger than a butter knife," I pull out the gun I had and Alissa nearly dropped dead, I don't think she's ever seen a gun before in her life, but this is Manchester, and you don't walk around the streets of Manchester unarmed.

"Took you long enough," I hear Kyle say as Alissa and I were still talking, Ash took the tendency to open the door to Kyle himself, just like he did with his self. "Been a while." Ash says as he looks at Kyle, "Yeah I don't remember you." Kyle says as he storms past him, facelessly, and obviously drunk.

"Now here's the deal," Kyle finally spits out, "Someone wants to kill me." He says as he takes a small note out of his back pocket, but his note was different. It was sent over in a small envelope with the stamps on it and everything, no blood, no threats, "What do you mean someone wants to kill you," I say as I read the note again.
