After

Chapter 15

I hear the front door slam. Good, Amanda has gone for a while. I debate whether to tell Noah what she said to me. I decide not to, as she may hurt me. Meanwhile, Noah is picking out another outfit for me. Amanda has such beautiful taste, too bad she has such an ugly heart.

6 hours later: 7:15pm (Noah went to get bread)

The first sound I heard from her since she walked out were her keys jangling in the keyhole. My heart sank, I knew she wouldn't let me talk to Noah for more than 2 minutes at a time. As soon as she was in she walked into the guest bedroom where I was and whispered, "Stay away from Noah. Okay?"

"As I said before, I will."
"Good girl, I-"

She stopped dead. She looked at me in a funny, scary way for a second. Then she grabbed my arm, yanked me up, and screamed at me, "YOU HAVE BEEN HERE 5 MINUTES AND ALREADY YOU THINK YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF TO ALL MY CLOTHES!?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!? I WILL GET YOU CHUCKED OUT OF MY HOUSE BEFORE YOU CAN SAY APPLE STRUDEL!"

As tears poured down my face, I noticed something purple on Amanda's neck. It was about the size of a £2 coin. It's a hickey!

"Im s-sorry, please don't kick me out! I will never borrow your clothes! Don't hurt me! By the way, you have something on your neck."
Instantly, she puts her hand to her neck where the mysterious blob was.

Then, she quietly says, "That's it."

She pulled me by the hair with all her force out of the bedroom, as I screamed in pain. This was what it was like when I was kidnapped.
I have no idea what was going on, all I can comprehend is pain! She suddenly stops, and I realise we are at the top of the stairs.

She looks at me with a gleam in her eye, quite like a snake's. She speaks up, and says with a smirk, "Bye Richelle"

A huge jolt went through me and then the sensation of falling. I hit the stairs before I realised she had pushed me down. Tumbling and tumbling I go, flailing my arms around my head to try and protect it. After what seamed like an eternity, I finally stop. I felt something warm and wet around my ear, spreading over my face. Blood. Suddenly, I can't tell what was going on around me. My head is throbbing so badly, how long have I been here for?

Then, I voices. Faint at first, but definitely voices.
"Richelle! Richelle! Can you hear me?? Oh my God Amanda, what happened!?"
"She just tripped and fell. She can be so clumsy."

She said it so calmly! How could she pretend that I tripped!?
I try to open my eyes, but I can just see red. Great, blood! But as I blink I start to make out the figures, Noah is kneeling beside me, and Amanda is towering over me, a smirk still on her face.

As I look at her, her eyes go narrow, she leans down and strokes my hair.
"It's okay Richelle, I will make sure you get better."
Her eyes are as unforgiving as a snake's.
