Escape From: The Mayor

12

"Laura?! Are you ok?! Who did this to you?!" Collin said as he cupped my face in his hands and made me face him.

But I was crying too much to say anything. I opened my mouth but the only thing that came out were loud sobs. Collin decided not to ask me and led me inside his room. I had gotten used to his room now and I didn't have much trouble in finding the couch through my blurry vision due to the tears filled in my eyes. His white coloured couch was also an advantage for easy locating. I sat on his couch and Collin handed me a glass of water and I took it and tried to calm myself down as I chugged the water down my throat.

Collin didn't ask me about what happened but instead just told me to cry as much as I want. And I did cry a lot after he said that.

I think 20 minutes had passed by from me crying and Collin patting my back to calm me down and he placed a kisses on my forehead now and then which was so sweet of him and the kisses did calm me down. I had stopped crying so I decided to tell Collin about what has happened yesterday after the meeting and all. I just hoped that he didn't think that it was stupid of me telling my opinion. He didn't think it was stupid though and told me that things will be ok. 

After a few moments, Collin said that he had to call his parents right now so he went away and I was watched some show on his t.v while he was on the call. I remembered that our summer vacation had started on 3rd May and today was 24th July. We still had a month for our vacations to end. How will we go to school? My birthday was on 27th December so I won't be celebrating my birthday here hopefully. I wanted to ask Collin about his birthday so I went to his room and to also see what is keeping him.

I saw Collin in his room and he looked really busy with the call and I avoided to interrupt him so I just stood by his doorway. He didn't notice me so I guess he was really busy.

"Yes father I will. Yeah ok. Yes I know that. Yeah bye." He simply then hung up ghe call and finally saw me.

"Eavesdropping are we?" He said as he gave me a smirk.

"I got bored alright. At least I didn't disturb you." I said with proudness in my tone.

"Oh yes I am really glad about that." He said with sarcasm in his voice and rolled his eyes.

"Hey so does Zoey or anyone else from our team know about us being a thing?"

"Well no. And your friends?"

"Nope. So could we like tell someone. I have been thinking about it for a while.. only if you want!" I said trying not to sound rude.

"I am ok with telling anyone. If that's anyone of your friends. I don't think we should be telling Zaira or the others." He said in an eerie tone.

"Why?" I questioned as I tilted my head in confusion. 

But he skipped my question and asked me who it was. I really wanted to tell Ava. She was the only person who I know would take a thing related to romance well. So I pick up my phone and call her up. She picks up the phone after about 10 rings. I question her about why she took so much time to pick up the phone but she just said to get to the point. Being suspicious, I told her to come to Collin's room and told her the floor and then I hung up the call while she was in middle of asking me 'why'.

If she was not going to answer my questions then neither would I. I am so proud of myself. Collin asked who is coming so I ignored his question too. And then it turned to ignoring since he practically kept asking who is coming and I couldn't tell him so I ghosted him. And that was going for about 12 minutes which made me wonder if Ava died on her way to here but then me and Collin heard a knock and I skipped to the door out of happiness and opened the door for Ava.
