Chemical Love (Craig Mabbitt Fanfic)

Chapter 31

*Anastasia's POV*We were sitting in Steak 'n Shake waiting for our order. I was surrounded by Robert, Kevin and Craig and facing away from the window. We were sitting in silence, the only noise being the chatter of people, when I heard my ringtone.

'Raaaaawwwwwrrrrrr!' Andy's scream from Perfect Weapon could be heard throughout the building. This is why I have my phone on vibrate-people were giving me weird looks. I quickly silenced my phone and looked at the text I had received. I sighed in relief when I saw that it was Max and not Dan that contacted me.

Max- Anastasia, please I'm so sorry. I didn't know what I was thinking. I've been feeling sick from guilt since I kissed you. Please don't ignore me.

I put my phone away, ignoring his plea for forgiveness, and waved off Craig's questioning look. It would just make Craig angrier if I brought up Max; and I don't need an angry boyfriend when my ex is already torturing me.

Finally our food was ready. We collected our eatable delights and hurried back to the bus. Kevin, who was at the front, stopped causing me to become nervous. What if Dan was in there? What if he did something to Emily, or TJ? I tried standing on my toes to look in despite my fear of what I would see. I could hear muffled noises but couldn't quite make out what they were.

'Umm...maybe we should use the back door...or go on another bus...' Kevin stated walking backwards off the bus.

'W-why? What happened?' I asked beginning to panic.

'Tay, calm down. Nothing happened; TJ and Emily just need...privacy...' Robert said. Then my worries were washed away as disgust took its place. Ew, those noises were moans.

'OK, another bus it is. Someone contact Chris Motionless and see if they can pick us up,' Craig nodded as he pulled out his phone. He explained everything to Chris and I could hear an agreement from the other side.

'OK, thanks dude,' Craig said hanging up, 'they'll be here in a few minutes,' I nodded in response and hoped that Dan was anywhere nearby.

*Time skip*

We were now sitting on the Motionless In White bus eating our food as Ricky and Devin started arguing about god-knows-what.

'So TJ and...Emily...started going at it in the 'living room'?' Angelo asked us raising an eyebrow.

'Yup, I feel sorry for the bus driver,' I said chuckling. We let the guys from MIW fight over the food we bought for the lovebirds. Everyone began chatting and laughing together. I looked around and smiled, forgetting my paranoia for a minute. Closing my eyes, I leaned on Craig's shoulder and relaxed.

My phone buzzed in my pocket and my eyes shot open. I looked at the caller I.D. but I didn't know the number. I noticed everyone had gone quiet so I answered and put the phone on speaker; just in case.

'Hello?'

'Hello, is this Anastasia Paterson?' I heard a male's voice on the other end.

'Y-yes,'

'This is Officer Liam. I would like to ask you to come down to the station. We think we have found your abuser, Dan,' I froze.

'U-umm...well since I'm kind of on tour with a band at the moment, we're a few hours away. I-is there any other way I could do this?' I asked as I managed to recover.

'Well, I guess we could do a video chat sort of thing if you would like?'

'That would be great. T-thank you, so much,'We said our goodbyes and hung up. Now I had to wait for the video call. The guys from Motionless looked at me quizzically. My phone buzzed before I could say anything. I walked to the back room and Craig followed me. I put my hand signalling for him to leave me. I wanted to do this alone. I sat down before I clicked answer.

'Hello Anastasia, we have found a few people that we think could possibly be your attacker. All of them have a criminal record. If you could please identify Dan if he is among them,' Officer Liam explained. I nodded and he turned the camera towards five men. I studied them all.

'Dan is...'

~Hey! So I said I would try and update regularly but I've been going through a tough time recently and just haven't had enough time. But anyway, ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER! Haha! I love them. What do you think will happen? Vote, comment and thanks for reading!~
