Alone In The Dark (a Thomas Brodie-Sangster fanfic)

CHAPTER 14

The door shut before my mind could think of what to say. Did she really think she ruined my life? She SAVED my life, made it better. I was happy with Amalie around. I slumped onto the sofa and started to cry. I was back to being a lonely soul.

After 10 minutes of sobbing and whimpering, I got up and decided to go to the shop to get the stuff Amalie was going to buy. When I sat in the car there was a note on the wing mirror.

Thomas
I don't know who you are or what you doing. Be careful with what you're doing. Consequences will be made. You've been warned.
Signed: ...
Who on earth is '...' Probably some prank. I scrunched the note up and carelessly put it in my pocket. I turned the engine on and drove down the road.

On the way home, I drive past Amalie's old house, just to say a goodbye I guess. As I pass, something catches my eye. Her bedroom light was on. She must have gone back. Why would she go back? I start to panic and I rush home.

I through the food in the fridge, cupboards and freezer. Once the food was away, I got my phone out and phones Amalie. First time, straight to answer phone. Second time, answer phone. My heart races. What if something terrible has happened to her? I know what I have to do.

I get in my car and drive to Amalie's house. I park a few houses away so no one would suspect anything. As I walk up, I notice 'his' car isn't there. Perfect! I walk across the front garden and begin to climb the wall. The wall we used to escape. I tap on the window and wait. No one comes. I wave of doubt rushes through me. I tap again. My hands start to sweat and my grip loosens. Oh no, I'm going to fall. I close my eyes and my fingers slip. I feel myself fall until everything around me freezes. The world stops. I open my eyes to see Amalie holding onto my arms. Then I remember the first time we met, how we met. The memories all flood back. I shake my head and force myself back to reality.
"Thanks. Now how about you help me up?" I call out, a grin swept across my face. Amalie pulls me up and I clamber through the window.
"What are you doing here?" I ask with worry and confusion.
"Umm well I had nowhere else to go. So um I came here." Sadness and guilt animated her face.
"Why didn't you stay with me? Why did you leave? Why did you leave me?" I was hurt, I'd clearly done something wrong.
"I. I thought I was a pain, getting in the way of your life. I ruined everything with your girlfriend-"
"Woah. She's not my girlfriend, remember? I told you, she left me and I got depressed and well you know the rest." How could she think Isabella was my girlfriend?
"Oh, well as I was saying, you've done everything for me and it was my time to leave." Amalie's face lowered. I opened my mouth to say something but before I could say anything a car pulled up.
