The Boy Next Door

Chapter 37- Is this it for us?

Chaz's Pov- (mixing it up a bit)

I watched as the Mitch dude dropped to his knees and that Adam guy drop a girl on to the floor. She swore at him and I grinned, I like this kid.

"Yeah she was adopted. Literally just left. If you're lucky we might be able to catch her outside" I said loudly as I put my phone away in my pocket.

Jerome pulled Mitch back to his feet and I walked in front of them and saw Aliza getting in to the car.

"ALIZA WAIT!" I screamed at her but she didn't hear and closed the car door. "MITCH HURRY UP!"

Mitch ran out the door and ran towards the car as it started to drive off. A blonde head stuck out of the window and she reached out a hand as she saw us.

"ALIZA!" Mitch yelled after her as he continued running. He tripped and fell over, rolling a bit as he hit the ground. "Please remember me" he cried.

I heard someone burst into tears and I looked to my right to see the girl from before crying. Adam had gone over to Mitch and was trying to coax him into getting up.

She continued to cry as everyone stood there in shock so I went and wrapped my arms around her in a hug. "It'll be okay" I said in a hushed voice.

"How will it? I can't loose her, not again" she sobbed into my shoulder and clutched the back of my jacket.

"Sometimes you've got to go through the bad times to get to the good" I whispered and hugged her tightly.

I barely knew this girl and yet here she was crying into my shoulder.

"What about Mitch?" She looked up at me with wide eyes. They were filled with tears and I knew they held remorse for something.

"I'm not quite sure. But I know he can survive this" Jaydn came up behind me, her arm around a sniffling Mara.

Everyone else surrounded us, including Mitch and they all linked hands. "Together" Adam said quietly.

"Together" they all said and slowly came in closer until it was a massive group hug.

"Together" The girl repeated and clutched on to Mitch. "Let's get through this together" she cried.

As one, as a group of friends, no, as a family. I can understand Aliza, I can understand now.

Aliza's Pov-

"ALIZA!"

I watched as Mitch hit the ground and a sob escaped my throat. They came for me, they really did come for me.

Tears slid down my cheek and I watched them until they became tiny specks in the distance.

Turning back around, I sat back down in my seat and clutched my legs to my chest. "They came for me" I whispered to myself as I let my tears drop from my face and into my hands.

"I love you Mitch... Please don't forget me..."

My new 'mother' turned around to face me as she drove. It was just us two, her husband was at home. "Aliza what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'm fine. I just saw the people I love..." I said quietly.

She continued to look at me and then turned back to face the road and screamed.

My head snapped up and all I saw the lorry hit the front of the car before I passed out.
