Secrecy

Chapter 14:

I dialed Alex's number again but once again he didn't answer. I pressed my lips together, my body trembling. Why the fuck was he not answering?

"Tinker bell, calm down, you're shaking." Cristian said taking hold of my hand.

I pulled my hand away and sat down. I hated this thing of me, whenever I got to worried or scared, I start shaking really bad. Shaking my head to myself, I took a piece of my hair and started braiding it. I couldn't, my hands where shaking so damn much. 

"Ugh, I hate when she gets like this." I heard Tyler say. 

I left my half ass braid and stood up. "Shut up." I snapped at him. He flicked his palms up and back away.

I shook my head and checked my phone it was 6:14 a.m. I then thought of something. "Okay I'm gonna go to school and see if he went or not. You two stay here." I said walking to the door. 

"No way. I'm going with you, there's still danger out there." Cristian said.

"Same here." Tyler said as he forced himself to get up.

I wanted to go alone but I simply nodded. "Okay." I said as I head towards my room to freshen up a bit.

When I finished I headed downstairs. There sat Cristian on his phone. When he saw me he put it away and forced a smile. "That was quick."

I nodded, and for some reason I couldn't help but feel curious of his actions. Cristian then slid off the couch then walked over to me and softly touched my hand. He smiled, "Good to know you stopped shaking." Was all he said before letting go of my hand and began heading outside.

I frowned again but followed him outside and waited for Tyler. He came down five minutes later and we three went to the car, then drove toward Becky's house.

We waited outside for like ten minutes in silence until Becky finally appeared. I gasped when I saw her face. The right corner of her bottom lip was bruised and she had a deep cut above the end of her left eyebrow. She also had another bruise on her left cheek bone. I turned and glared at Tyler. "You told me she was all fine." I hissed. From the corner of my eye I saw Cristian sink in his seat. I rolled my eyes and kept glaring at Tyler.

"She is!" He said.

I frowned. "Do you think I'm stupid?" I asked.

"Calm down, Belle." Becky said placing her hand on my left shoulder. I sighed and crossed my arms. I then heard Cristian let out a short laugh. My frowned deepened, but was glad that Becky didn't get as hurt as the guys did. So I decided not to say anything and to just stay quiet for the rest of the car ride.

When we arrived I spotted Clarissa and I ran towards her. "Clare!" I yelled as I got to her. 

"Clare?" She asked, confused. 

"Short for Clarissa anyways have you seen Axel?" I asked, worried clearly shown all over my face. Clarissa frowned. "Belle!" Becky yelled. I turned around and saw my three friends running towards me. They stopped and looked at Clarissa. By their faces I could see they wanted to know who she was. "Guys this is Clarissa, Axel's girlfriend." I said without thinking. Surprise flickered through Cristian eyes but was immediately gone and he then nodded.

"Axel's not my boyfriend." Clarissa quickly said clearly embarrassed. I turned and looked at her, she was blushing. 

Immediately a feeling of envy began to grow withing me, but thankfully I managed to ignore my feelings and went straight to the point. "Clare, where's Axel?" I asked again. 

Clarissa's face changed and she then frowned at my expression "I don't know, I haven't seen him since yesterday before he went to go meet up with Cristian, your boyfriend." she answered.
