If only I was there

Chapter 13

"Wow." Dane said as he locked his gaze to me. He came closer and squeezed my shoulders. He said he was sorry and left. He left me alone again. I can't believe I was so stupid to think that he would help me. I turned around to get Dane but I was blocked by a figure. It was a man. I couldn't see his face because it was dark and I was crying. The man punched me in the face and I fell across the floor.

"That's for running away and putting me in jail." He said. My head was dizzy and my eyes were closing slowly. The last I remembered seeing was Cole's face, then I blacked out.

I woke up in a dark room. My head was still dizzy but it was bearable. The bed I was on was filled with blood stains. I was frozen for a minute. I thought to myself that I was going to die, Chloe was going to die and Carl was dead. Carl was dead because of me. He was dead because he gave me those keys and Cole got angry. Chloe was going to die because of me. She was in this mess because she met me. If only I was there to help her before she got kidnapped. If only I was strong enough to fight Cole. If only I was better and this mess wouldn't happen.Everything was my fault.

I regained myself and searched for the keys, of course I had to lose it.I looked around and noticed a girl sitting on a chair, unconscious. I walked to the girl and realized it was Chloe. She wasn't hurt badly, only some bruises on her face.

"Chloe, hey Chlo. Wake up."

She opened her eyes. Her pitch black eyes made contact with my dark brown eyes.

"Megan? Oh my god Meg!" She tried to hug me but her hands were tied. I was trying to untie her hands but Cole walked in.

"Oh darling, you are not going to escape again." He said as he runs his fingers through my hair. He pulled my face closer to his face and I could feel his breath at my neck.

"It's time to pay your debts." He said as shivers went down my spine. Suddenly, something hit him in the head. I saw Dane holding a gigantic stick. Judy and Scarlett were there. They ran towards Chloe to help untie her hands. I ran towards Dane and hugged him. After the hug session everyone ran to exit.

We ran through the long hallways and I could hear sirens. Cole was chasing us and I could hear him getting closer. I turned around to see him getting closer every second so I waited for him. He smirked and Chloe was yelling, telling me to run. I punched Cole in the face and kicked him. He fell down holding the pain. I looked down at him and said "That's for Chloe."

We continued to ran. We finally got out of the house and policemen were everywhere. They got in to arrest Cole. Chloe hugged Dane and thanking him. She ran towards me and hugged me, thanking me.

Her parents were running towards her. She ran to then and hugged them. Judy and Scarlett were exhausted so they went to the car. I was with Dane. I turned to him and hugged him.

"I told you, you could trust me."

"I thought you left. Like before."

"I won't do that and re-live the guilt."

"Thank you" I said as I hugged him tighter.

"Let's go home" and we drove home with Scarlett and Judy. Even though the night was exhausting, I still had work tomorrow morning. My eyes were getting heavier so I fell asleep during the ride home. I was glad that I could trust Dane again. I was glad that Chloe was safe. I was grateful that everything was okay.
