Save me....(remake)

More of the truth(part one) chapter 8

Matt had let me go back down to the basement after he told me the truth. I walked down the stairs sullenly, but quietly, so I wouldn't wake up Hailey. But she was sitting on the couch, very much awake.

"Oh, my god!! Where the hell have you been?!"

"Matts' room. Where else should I have been?" I replied as if she would've guessed all on her own.

"I wouldn't know! He took you upstairs around, what, eight yesterday morning? And its now three in the morning. The next day!!" she screamed.

"I could've guessed that much when you said eight to three, you know. I'm not a baby"

"You act like one all the time"

"I do not!! Yes, I let him take me to his room! Yes, I was up there for almost 24 hours! Yes, I know you're pissed at me! No, I don't give a shit!! I have my own problems to deal with, and I CAN deal with them, MYSELF!!" I snapped at her.

"Obviously not, if you willingly let him keep you there" Danny said from behind me, making me jump.

"So f*cking what?! Sorry to tell you some devastating news, but I had fun! Not the kind of fun you like, Hailey. Not the kind of fun you have, Danny. All we did was sit on his bed, and play Truth or Dare, but there were rules. Ooohh, I'm such a party-pooper, I know. I'm going to bed now, if that doesn't bother you too much. I'm kind of tired, g'night!" I said dramatically.

"Bed? You're going, to bed!?" Hailey screeched.

"Yeah, I said g'night. See you in about twelve hours!" I chirped, just to piss Hailey off even more.

I walked into the bedroom and put different clothes on before pulling back my bed covers. I turned around to get something, but stopped short. I looked in the mirror and saw pictures of Hailey, and I. The boys who I had forgotten about when Matt took me upstairs yesterday were also on the mirror. There was also an enlarged picture of six people on a mountain, and someone had written their names underneath the people: Julia, Danny, Hailey, Josh, Brianna, and Lewis. Everyone looked happy in the picture, except for Lewis and I. I started to tear up as I looked at Julia's name as I remembered the day we went hiking.

"I put them there to remind us of what we had, and what we might be able to go back to" Hailey said quietly, behind me.

"Back to? We can't to back to Julia and how things used to be! I can't even remember what home looks like! Everything has changed, and I. Don't. REMEMBER!"

"Well I do!! Home is where my fiancée is! Home is where your brother and boyfriend play video games on your bed just to annoy you! Home is where we should be, but its mine and Lewis's fault for talking you into - into going.." she broke down and started crying.

I stood frozen to my spot. I didn't know how to react to this. I looked back at Julia's face, and how happy she looked. I thought about how four and a half years ago, I had four friends; soon to have been five, if Julia had told us sooner. A thought quickly flashed through my mind, and I mentally chased it so I could remember it clearly.

''She had a kid, he was two. I didn't want Tony to do anything to him; let Danny have the kid! But he took it to far. He gave me a knife to kill the kid with as Julia got tied to a chair and tortured. Danny was 'cuffed to a pole, so he couldn't do anything, not even to save his own son-

What do you mean? Danny is a dad?

Was. Tony and Zach-the guy Tony got rid of for Danny-were 'handling' Julia, but Zach got sick and ran out, grabbing the kid and running. But Tony, being the one to always think, had a gun; shot 'em down, and both were gone. I never wanted to hurt the kid, and Danny was just screaming; pure rage. He has the scars on his wrists from the 'cuffs digging in as he tried to pull the pole from its spot (he paused to wipe away tears, and act like he didn't)
