Gone

Chapter 5

"Boyfriend. Soon to be boyfriend" he said to him with a cocky smile which sent shivers up your spine.

Your head snapped towards Vernon and you raised your eyebrows while your eyes darted towards Ivan. Vernon wiggled his eyebrows right back at you.

"Mia? Is he telling the truth?" the irritated looked on Ivan's face is clear.

"Oh come on, man. You heard me very well." Vernon interrupted. Vernon looses his grip on your waist then started to hold your wrist... tight. You're so cluless right now.

What should you say? Should you play along or straight to the point? But it will probably not be that bad if you play along.

You opened your mouth to say something but was stopped until you heard your phone ring. You mentally crying tears of joy. Thank to the god and heavens!

"Hello? Mia's here"

"Mia? Oh my God, where are you young woman?" you sighed in relieve, it was your mom.

"I'm still at the college, mom. I'm going back home now. I was just looking for Vernon" you lied so smoothly.

Vernon eyed you suspiciously. Well, you were screwed anyway.

"Make sure you went straight back home, honey. I'll wait for you." bipolar mother. You nodded anyway even though she can't see you.

"And one more thing before I forget, please invite Vernon for dinner since Sandra can't make it tonight. Busy woman she is" she chuckled.

"Alright mom. I'll pass it to him. Bye, I love you."

"I love you too, honey" just then she hung up.

"That's a cue for us to leave m' lady." Vernon hold you by your wrist and started dragged you to the hallway. You can't even took a step until you felt something cold on your left wrist stopping you from moving.

"We are not done yet, Mia" Ivan's darkened eyes glaring at you.

Vernon took a step forward and shielded you from Ivan. Vernon gritted his teeth before laughed bitterly.

"Did you just touch her?" Vernon said coldly while he can feel the blood pumping through his veins.

"What if I am? What are you going to do about it?" Ivan challenged and that makes me gulped anxiously.

Vernon took a step forward towards Ivan. Only a few inch away, what the hell should you do? You can almost smell his revenge and stares at him with a cold blank face. Please don't fight. Please please. You prayed to god for mercy.

"How about you wait and see." Vernon smirked then he grabbed your wrist and lead you to the exit. You looked back to see Ivan curled his hand into a fist until his knuckles turned white. What the hell just happened?
