Playing for Keeps[Kingx#1] [COMPLETED]

Chapter34

IMPORTANT: When Kane uses the word 'Bit*h' don't feel bad for her okay! It's just a biker slang. They call their woman 'bit*h'. It's a form of endearment to them.
If they are not their woman, it's 'sweet butt'

Ellie closed her eyes. She didn't know how long they were in there as it seemed like hours before the door suddenly jerked open.

Ellie looked up to see Mr. Gray's wide eyes and her friends worried look behind him.

She barely sighed in relief before Archer jerked up and leaped out of there, not caring that he bumped in Mr.Gray, making her nearly fall at the impact.

Four pair of eyes were stuck on him till he was out of their vision.

"Ellie." Tori said, quickly entered and knelt in front of her. Giving her a bear hug. Amy joined. "We were so worried! Sorry, we didn't find you sooner."

"Yeah. We thought you left the school with Archer but his friend came to search for him and only then we noticed something was off as we couldn't reach either of you."

"It's okay guys." She smiled because she had such amazing friends, but she just couldn't stop thinking about Archer.

"What about his friends?"

"They're searching for him out of the school compound."

"I see..."

"This doors needs to be taken down for good. It's been fixed so many times yet returns to the same old broken door." They heard Mr. Gray comment behind them.

"Let's get you out of here."

Where would Archer be, where would he go? If he wasn't at school, who would ask him if he's okay? Would he approach his friends in his we-- that state anyway? She did't think he was that type. And his friends would respect his decision. So who would ask and comfort him after that?

"Yeah. Let's go." she said softly, feeling down for some reason.

ELLIE HADN'T SEE ARCHER after that. He didn't appear at the school the next day either. She was worried. What exactly happened in there? Could he be claustrophobic? She put two and two together. Maybe that's why some of his rooms didn't have doors! She thought he needed to fix the door, when he already did it, just the way he wants it. She wished to have a glimpse of his mind. She had heard that people could overcome these type of phobias with professional help. Had he ever tried it?

She needed to talk to his friends. They'd definitely know what exactly was going on.

As expected, they were standing in the parking lot. She bit her lip nervously and wipe the sweat of her palms on her pants. She thought of ways to ask them.

They looked up as soon as they heard her approach.

"Ellie." the twins greeted in unison while James smiles weakly. Kane, as usual, ignored her presence.

"Hey. Um..do you know where he is?" she asked.

"No.." James sighed.

Silence. She thought of ways to ask them. They stared at her as if knowing she had something to say.

"What's wrong with him. I mean.. I don't mean to sound mean..."

"What are you talking about?"

"I saw him in there, James."

"What? Where?"

"In the closet."

They gaped at her.
