The Pain Of Something Painless

Chapter 37

Spencer's POV

Andrew and River were gone for about half an hour now, and I'm a bit worried that something happened to them.

So, I stand up, and I excuse myself from the group of people that I was sitting with, then I follow Andrew's scent, which leads towards the back of this house.

When I see them, Andrew's hugging River, and I quickly realise that River's crying.

This makes me consider if I should go away, but before I can turn around, Andrew sees me, and he gestures for me to come over.

"Can you take him back to the house?" Andrew asks. "I will quickly tell my parents that we're going back and I will catch up to you." He says, so I nod in agreement.

River stands up and Andrew does the same, before I lead River back towards Edward and Oliver's house.

We walk in silence, because I'm sure that River won't want to speak right now, but right before we reach the house, I can hear that someone's running towards us.

I look over my shoulder, expecting it to be Andrew, but I quickly see that it's someone else.

There are two guys, and they run towards us with an angry expression.

I quickly grip River's arm, and I make him run with me the rest of the way towards the house.

The two guys are quick, but thankfully we were already very close to the house, so we manage to reach it, and I quickly close the door behind us, before I lock it.

"Who was that?" River asks, and he sounds a bit scared, although the fact that we're inside of the house seems to calm him down.

"I think that they're Andrew's former friends." I say and he nods.

I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I think that one of those guys is the guy who told me that he will beat me, so I have a very good guess about the reason of them being here.

I can hear that the guys are already here, and it seems that they're trying to open the door, which make me laugh slightly, but I quickly stop when I see that River's glaring at me slightly.

"Open the door, we want to talk with you." One of the guys say, and this assures me that it's the same guy that I talked with not long ago, because I remember his voice.

"Talk about what?" I ask them, and River glared at me again, before he tries to make me go towards the living room, but I don't let him, and I stay next to the door.

"About keeping secrets." He responds angrily, and then I hear that someone hits something, before someone whines in pain.

"Don't listen to him. We want to talk to you about your mate, he wanted us to tell you that you should go back, because he decided to stay with your family for a while longer." The other guy says.

I try to open the door, but River quickly hits my arm, and then he takes the key out of it, before I can realise what's going on.

I glare at him, and he just rolls his eyes, before he makes me go with him towards one of the doors that I never opened before.

It turns out that it's the basement, which I saw from the outside a while ago when the door was open.
