---Chapter 19---

Do You Trust Me?

This was bad. This was very bad. How had Tyler found me? My location was supposed to be a secret. How did he get Emmy? Surely he was lying. He must've been lying! But what if he wasn't? Ugh this was such a migraine. What was I supposed to do? Tell someone? But what if Tyler was watching me? I sighed and flopped down onto my bed, facing the ceiling above. Mel and Rock were both downstairs, they had come home about two hours after I'd had that talk with Tyler and I hadn't said anything to either of them. Of course it was the right thing to do, but how could I? And there was no way I was getting Link involved in any of this.

Knock, knock. Rock opens the door slightly and turns on my bedroom lights, making my eyes squint momentarily. "Hey, are you feeling okay? You're not sick are you?" He says as he seats himself by my side and felt my forehead with the back of his hand. "You look a little peaky." He muttered to me as I pushed his hand away. A little rude I know. What's even worse is I didn't say anything back, I just groaned. This seemed to make my relative more concerned for me and he gave me a look of worriment.

"Hey, buddy. You feelin' okay?"

"I-I'm fine." I lied. "I'm just a little tired. It's been a long day..." I mumble and sigh as I turn onto my side to face away from him. Rock ruffles my head comfortingly.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks me. A thoughtful moan escaped my lips and I twist my head as much as I can without turning my body and look up at him. He's giving me a caring smile to try to encourage me to talk to him. It's especially hard to say no to, so I face him fully again and start to tell him about the day.

"Well uh, I don't know if you have been sent the video yet-"

"The one of you and Link sucking face?" He smirks at me whilst I laugh a little. I didn't know if Ninten had his number or someone else had got Ninten's and then forwarded it to him. I nod and blush.

"W-Well Ninten and Lucas kept pestering me all afternoon about it. It was just a little annoying is all."

"Ah okay. Well I'm happy you're happy and confident enough to start dating. I'm not gonna lie I thought it might take a little longer for you to get out there with your sexuality. Maybe the fact your old classmates don't know you're here helps?" Yeah, that was the case. Except now they did know where I was. They knew my address and apparently they seemed to know where I hung out. That fact scared me so much, I honestly had no idea what I was to expect when I got to the location tomorrow. I thought about the piece of paper I had shoved into my pocket after I'd gone inside.

"Yeah..."

"Is...Is there anything else you want to talk about?" This was my chance. My chance to tell him the truth about Tyler knowing where I lived, about what he told me to do.

"No. That's it." I threw it away. I was going to regret it later, that much I knew. I could end up in serious trouble. He could even kill me and they wouldn't know, they'd never know. Not until they'd searched all over Smashville and found my decaying corpse surrounded in a pool of dried up blood. Rock just stands and walks over to the door, switching off my bedroom lights again and telling me that he'll put a plate of food aside for me if I feel hungry later. I thank him as he quietly shuts my door and leaves me.

I wouldn't eat it later though. If I ate anything I think I would've thrown up.

The next morning I sat on the subway with adrenaline pumping through my veins. All of my friends were sat around me, laughing and smiling as they did every morning. I would've joined in but I was so worried about Emmy and what was going to happen if I didn't show. My boyfriend seemed to sense my distress though as he put an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him so he could kiss my forehead.
