Truth

Chapter 8

It's Cameron.

"How are you?" he asks. I start to shake, holy crap how did he get in my house?

"What do you want?" I ask trying to sound confident. He walks closer until he is standing in front of me.

"You know what I want" his voice was harsh. His eyes turned really dark, and I start to tear up. All of a sudden Cameron slapped me across my face and I fell to the ground. He grabbed my hair and pulled me back up threw me against the wall, he put his massive hand around my throat so I'm pinned to the wall.

"Please stop" I said trying to catch my breath. I can't stop crying and he laughed.

"You stupid bitch! This is you making me do this. Sketch wants his money" he said and I feel his breath against my cheek.

"I don't have it" I whisper, and he punches me in my stomach then pinned me back up against the wall still holding my throat.

"You think you can run! Huh! We will find you no matter where you run to you stupid slut! You get him his money or we will pay a little visit to Katie's school"
Oh god no!

"Please..... Please don't hurt her. I will get his money you just have to give me time" I said and he throws me on the ground and punches me twice in the face.

"You have a week" he said a little out of breath and I'm trying to hold back my tears. Then he kicks me in my ribs, winding me and I can't breath.
Without another word Cameron leaves. I lie here on the floor to try and control my breathing. All I can taste is blood, I try to spit some of it out and it goes everywhere on the floor.
I look around for my phone and it's on the other end of the room. I crawl over to it.

"Ahhhh!" I scream. The pain on my face and ribs is unbearable. I finally reached my phone, I look and it's on 1%. Shit! I quickly dial Aliayia's number before it dies.

"Hey, girl did you have fun on your date?"

"A.... A.... Aliayia..... I... I... "

"Ari, what's happened? Are you OK?"

"Help...... " and with that my phone dies.
I try to stand up to get to the bathroom. Once I'm on my feet I try to walk and I fall into the door. I'm crying my eyes out. God please hurry Aliayia. I get to the bottom of the stairs and I start to feel dizzy. I sit on the bottom step with my arm holding my ribs. It hurts so much.
Minutes later Aliayia bursts through the door with the boys, and I see all their faces pale.

"ARI!" Aliayia yells and runs over to me.

"Just get me up to my room" I said and with that Ethan runs over and lifts me bridal style and carrys me into my room.

"What happened?" Aliayia asks when we reach my room, and I breakdown in tears. Ethan places me on my bed and runs into the bathroom. Seconds later he appears with a wet cloth and he sits down next to me.
"Ari what happened?" Aliayia asked again.

"Well it was definitely Cameron at the shops" I reply.

"Oh fuck! He did this! I'm calling the poilce" she said and pulls out her phone.

"NO! please he will hurt Katie" I said and she puts her phone down.
"Please can you get her from school"

"What I'm not leaving you"

"Ethan will be here. Please just go and get her, and take her to a café or something just until I get cleaned up" Aliayia must of saw how desperate I was and she left with Grayson to get Katie. Seconds past and we hear the door close. I look back to Ethan who is staring at me. His face was riddled with worry.

"I'm OK" I said quietly still crying a little.

"Fuck off Arianna. Your far from fine. Who is Cameron?" he asks while cleaning my face. I look down at the ground.
"You can trust me"

"OK I will tell you everything" I reply and I took a deep breath.
