My Poison ✔️

~Sixteen~

Bailey:

"Where's Bennett?" I asked Ethan still trying to get the pain in my scalp to go away.

"He's with your friends." He answered plainly.

"Where's his sister?" I asked fearing for the little girl.

"She's fine. We haven't hurt her if that's what you're asking. I was actually going to have her stay in here with you if that's fine."

"Yeah that's fine." I nodded. I wanted to get to know her. Bennett talked about her so much I'm wondering if she heard a lot about me.

"Good." He turned his head to Nate standing there. "Nate." Nate nodded and left the room to go get Taylor.

"When Nate gets back, he will take you to say goodbye to your friends understood?"

"What about Bennett's sister?" I asked.

"She will stay with me so we can talk." He smirked.

"No." I shook my head. "I'm not letting you be with her alone. I don't trust you."

"That hurts." Ethan put his hand on his heart dramatically.

"So does knowing my friends are going to die. If you would stop this bullshit and swear that no harm will come to them, I will do what you want. I won't avoid you or disobey you. Please, Ethan. You can't go through with this." I didn't care if I looked weak right it now. If this is what it took to insure my friend's safety, so be it.

Ethan only hummed in response.

Nate opened the door again and walked in with Taylor. She was shaking so much and I could tell Nate didn't know what to do.

I got up and hurried over to her. "It's ok. I'm not going to hurt you." I pulled her out of Nate's grip and she wrapped her arms around me.

"So this is Hawthorne's secret little sister. Tell me, what's your name?" Ethan came over to us.

"Lila. Her name is Lila." I couldn't let him know her real name so before she could respond, I lied.

Taylor seemed to understand what I was doing and went along with it.

"I want to hear it from her." Ethan took another big step close to us so I pulled Taylor into a tighter hug.

"M-my name is L-Lila." Taylor stuttered.

"There you heard it." I sarcastically smiled at him. "Take us to Bennett."

"Why do you want to see him?" He asked pissed.

"I don't know, maybe because he's my boyfriend." I said with a suggestive tone.

Ethan sucked his teeth before opening the door and waiting for us to walk out. We did and followed him down a few hallways. It seemed like we were in a basement of some kind.

We stopped in front of a door and he opened it for us. Taylor was still in my arms but when we saw Bennett sitting up slowly from the mattress he was on, she ran to him.

He looked really hurt. He no longer had a shirt on and his entire torso was either red, bleeding, or bruised.

Once Taylor had given him a hug, I jumped into his arms. His hand touched the gun I still somehow had under my massive shirt.

He smiled at me and brought his lips to mine. This was our chance to use the gun.

"Are you ok? What happened?" I inspected his stomach more closely.

"I'm alright. You can probably guess what happened." He chuckled holding Taylor and me both closely. "What about you guys. Are you both alright?"

"I'm ok." Taylor looked up at her brother.
