Love Circle

Chapter 3

As me and Liam walked down the entrance steps, I saw his Benz. He opened the door and got in, I followed. Once I was in the back of the car with him I closed the door.

The whole drive was quiet. We didn't know what to say.

Eventually we pulled up to his mansion. I knew he was rich but I didn't know he was filthy rich! Liam got out the car, I stepped out after him. We walked through the front doors and the inside was even more beautiful. The walls were painted white with gold painted wall trims. The floor was a Lily white marble flooring. A crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. There was different rooms each end of the hall. I was too stunned to speak.

"Um...we should go to my room, to do the project." Liam says to me, making me stop admiring the house.
"Uhm. Yeah, yeah you're right." I say. We walk up to his room. It's...clean? I was expecting a filthy room. We walked over to his desk. We sat down and begun.

I did the writing, whilst I told Liam what to search. We were halfway through the project already.
"This is boring!" Liam complained.
"Too bad. I want to get an A. A+ if possible." I say focusing.
"Ugh! Why do you care so much about school anyway?" Liam asks.
"Well unlike you, not all of us have trust funds and need to pay things ourselves." I say.
"Alright, alright." Liam replies.

A couple hours later, we finish the project. I'm really tired, it's 9pm at night! I guess we lost track of time, I need to get home but it's quite dark outside. Liam was on his phone glad we had finished.

"Liam, I'm heading home." I say.
"Okay, is your mum picking you up?" He asked, still not looking up from his phone.
"Uh...no. I'm going to walk home." I say confused why he'd think my mum was going to pick me up. Apparently my comment gets Liam's attention because he looks up from his phone.
"What do you mean you're going to walk home? Amie, it's literally dark outside!" Liam says looking at me.
"Well, I didn't think it was a big deal..." I say not sure what the problem is.
"You can stay over. But my mother can't know." Liam looks at me.
"Um...I'd prefer not. Especially, if your mum doesn't know. Plus, I don't have any clothes." I add.
"It's doesn't matter if my mum doesn't know and we have spare clothes." Liam says.
"I don't think my mum would appreciate that." I say.
"Right...it's fine. Just make sure you get home safe." Liam says, leading me out his room.
"Thanks." I say.

Liam walks me to the door.
"Bye." He says.
"C'ya." I wave walking away.

It's quite dark, but luckily there's street lights.

I'm about 5 minutes away from Liam's house and I feel someone watching me. So I walk faster. I look around frantically not sure what to do. I ring my mum.

I begin to walk faster. My mum doesn't answer.
"Shit." I mumble. The only person I can call is Liam. He probably won't help me but worth a shot. I begin to call Liam, to my surprise he answers.

"Who's this?" He asks, did he really not same my number? Whatever.
"It's Amie." I say out of breath walking faster.
"Why are you out of breath?" He asks.
"There's someone following me." I say, scared now not sure what to do. I hear him get up and do something.
"Where are you?" He sounds a bit worried.
"I don't know like, um 5 minutes away from your house." I hear the figure trying to walk faster with my speed, I begin to cry.
"Don't worry I'm-" the call hangs up. I take the phone away from my ear my phone died. It had to die now. Im still walking fast and crying trying to get away from the figure behind me.

I don't know what Liam was going to say. But all I know is I'm terrified right now.

Finally the figure speaks.
"Why are you running away pretty girl?" I hear a low voiced man speak.
"What do you want." I cry and stop running.
"To...talk." The figure says.

I don't trust him, suddenly I see another figure in the distance, past the man.
