Hopeless - The sequel to Breathless. A Janoskians fanfic.

29. "Can I help you?"

Veronica's POV -

I walked to the white door, shaking slightly, the others waited just out of view. I pushed the doorbell and waited for a few seconds before hearing giggling behind it. "Can I help you?" Tabby spat bitterly as she opened the door, looking me up and down. "Tabby, right?" I asked, as if I didn't know, she smiled slightly as the male with her kissed her neck, "yeah, and you are?" she questioned me, whilst stroking the guys crotch and allowing him to suck on her neck. "Jess, we met on a night out last week. I'm looking for Noah.." I lied through my teeth, but she bought it and invited me in to her house, shaking the guy off her, "Jasper, can you get us a drink?" she asked and he walked into the kitchen. Tabby shut the front door and I followed her into the front room, taking a seat on the sofa. "I think I remember you now" she said sweetly, it made me feel sick being here. I just wanted to leave and find Isla, be with my boyfriend, my friends and my family. "Smoke?" she asked offering her packet towards me, I declined and she lit hers up, breathing in the toxic smoke. When Isla smoked she made it look graceful, almost beautiful, when Tabby smoked, she made it look disgusting.

"So how do you know Noah?" she asked, inhaling more smoke and lifting her feet up on the opposite sofa. "I met him just after you, he gave me his number but I lost the paper." I said, trying to keep calm. Jasper walked back into the room and handed me a drink, and then handed one to Tabby, "Vodka and lemonade." he said as Tabby questioned him. He sat down next to Tabby and took large swigs form a beer bottle, "Right, I'll just phone Noah, see what he wants to do." Tabby said, pulling out her phone and lifting it to her ear. I prayed that he'd buy everything I'd said, just like Tabby had.

Noah: Tabs, what's up?

Tabby: I have Jess here, looking for you?

Noah: Jess? What does she look like?

Tabby: Tall, dark hair, nice arse and tits, just your type.

Noah: Don't recognise the name, but then again, I hardly do. She sounds hot, bring her over.

Tabby: What now? Can't you come here, I'm busy.

Noah: Can you put Jasper down for two minutes and bring her here, I need to keep an eye on Isla for Benji.

Tabby: where's he gone?

Noah: nowhere, he's just sleeping. Bring her round now yeah? I'm craving some female attention.

Tabby: you're a pig, I'll bring her over now.

She put the phone back in her pocket, "Ill take you to him babe, he sounds excited." she smirked and downed the rest of her drink. "are you going to drink that?" she questioned pointing at my untouched glass, I shook my head and handed it to her. Within seconds the liquid had disappeared and Tabby giggled, "I'm just going to get changed, Jasper, you coming?" she said flirtatiously and lead him upstairs. I pulled out my phone and sent James a quick text,

To: James x

Tabby is going to take me there soon, phone the others. I love you x

From: James x

They are on their way. Stay safe and thank you baby, I love you x

To: James x

I just want Isla safe, it's the least I can do, promise you I'll be fine. x

From: James x

Skip and the others are here now, See you soon gorgeous x

I put my phone back into my pocket and waited for Tabby and Jasper to return. I heard giggling from upstairs and a loud bang of a door, two sets of footsteps began down the stairs, "Jess, we're going now." Tabby called from the hallway. I took a deep breath and walked out of the front room, Tabby was wearing a very short, red dress, her hair tumbled over her shoulders and her bright red lips pouted. "I have a feeling were going to be good friends!" she smiled and grabbed my hand as she opened the front door. Jasper walked in front, Tabby and I behind slightly, "So what are you getting from Noah?" she asked, I paused for a second, "Just you know, something for a party tonight." I replied finally. She smirked and pulled her dress down exposing her boobs even more as we passed a group of teenage boys. "Fuck!" one of them gasped, "Fancy a shag?" another asked her, she simply blew them a kiss and continued down the road, shaking her hips slightly more than before. How had Skip ever dated this girl? She wasn't anything like Isla, they were both attractive, but Tabby knew it and liked to flaunt it. I felt sorry for Skip even more, he'd been through a lot the past few months.

We soon arrived in front of a block of flats, Jasper pressed the buzzer, flat number 48. "Noah open the fucking door!" Tabby called as muffled noises came through the intercom, "Calm it slut!" he laughed and the flat doors swung open. "Noah's an arrogant cunt, but a good fuck, if you're interested." Tabby whispered so Jasoer wouldn't hear, she winked at me and pulled down her dress once again. We climbed up several flights of stairs before facing a red door, Tabby banged on the door and soon a muscular blonde figure appeared behind it. "Tabs, baby, come in." he greeted her and kissed her passionately, smudging her red lipstick. Jasper pushed passed and began talking to others inside the flat, "You must be Jess?" he asked looking me up and down and grinning. "Yeah, we've met met before." I said confidently, my Drama lessons were definitely paying off right now. He took my hand and lead me into the house, one hand in his pocket, the other snaked around my waist and held onto my bum. I felt uncomfortable and guilty, only James should be holding me like this, but I had to play along.

"do you mind if I use the bathroom?" I asked smiling and biting my lip seductively at Noah, I had to win his trust and make him think he was going to get something in return. "sure, first door on the right, he squeezed my bum in his hand, making me jump slightly. "don't be long babe." he winked and walked into the front room. I locked the door behind me, breathing deeply and trying to keep calm. The whole flat smelt of drugs and alcohol, it was dirty and dark. I turned around, the sink was full of used needles, underwear was scattered across the floor and a used condom was slung over the tap. I pulled my phone out and text James again,

To: James x

Highcross apartments, Flat 48, red door. Please hurry x

From: James x

Thank you baby, are you okay?! x

To: James x

I'm fine, but it's horrible in here, I'm scared x

From: James x

We're just around the corner, hold on gorgeous, I love you x

To: James x

I love you too! x

I left the bathroom and walked towards the front room, "everyone, this is Jess." Noah introduced me and his hand regained its position on my waist. I looked around, Tabby, Jasper, two similar looking girls with brightly coloured hair and Benji sat around a bong. Benji hadn't recognised me luckily and they all smiled, inviting me to join them. I declined and asked for a drink, to which Noah looked fairly happy with. Benji stood up and followed us to the kitchen, "Noah, I'm just going to check on her." he mumbled and walked to the back of the flat, to a big metal door. I knew Isla was right behind that door and I couldn't do anything about it, the door bell rang suddenly, "TABS GET THE DOOR!" Noah yelled, my heart was pounding in my chest, scared of what was going to happen in the next few minutes. "SOMEONE CALLED HOLLY!" she shouted back, "HOW MANY SLUTS HAVE YOU GOT?!" she laughed, as Noah told her to buzz her in. "So Jess, how about we have some fun?" Noah said, wrapping his arms around my waist and breathed his alcoholic breath over my face. I pulled back slightly, but instead of breaking free it enabled him to pin me to the cupboard. His rough lips thrust against mine and his hand slipped up my dress, I was frozen in fear.
