Perri and I- The sequel to romantic 'Perri and me' about Perri Kiely

Chapter 3 Part 9

I'm still here, hands clasped over my ears.

"Amber, open up..." The drunken sound of Aaron's voice enters my ears.

I NEED to get out of here. I like...NEED to get out of here.

My eyes peer round Zara's guest bathroom, the window is way to high to jump from.

I could just go inside, but the thought of running into Fel makes me sick, and I don't want to get with Aaron tonight.

"You know...I could open this door..." Aaron says again.

My heart beats fast- think, Amber think!

The door knob turns slightly, and that's when I start to panic.

Suddenly, I remember when Zara moved here, how security guards used to stand all around her house. How her father was immensly rich.

"We keep guns in our house..." She told me, when I met her for the first time.

Yes! There must be a gun around her somewhere...what am I thinking, there wouldn't be a gun in a guest bathroom!

I'm about to give up hope when I notice a floor tile out of place.

"Amber, seriously, open...this...door!"

I kneel by the tile and slowly lift it over. There's a box in it. I carefully bring out the box and open it...

Yes, a gun.

Would I use it for real, of course not.

I make sure there are no bullets in it, then firmly carry it.

"Come on, Amber..." I can still hear Perri's voice in my head.

"I'm trying, I'm so scared..." I whisper back to myself.

I stand up in front of the door, then hold the gun behind my back.

That's when the door bursts open.

Great, it's Aaron.

"You cheeky thing..." He says. "Locking yourself in the bathroom."

He walks closer to me.

"Get AWAY from me now..." I say. "I'm warning you."

"Chill..." He says, closing the door behind him. "I'm just trying to make it up to you."

"I'm going to give you three seconds to leave..." I say.

"You can't do that...not untill after I'm done with you."

That's it.

I hold the gun in front of me, pointing it directly at him.

What am I doing???

"Move!" I shout. "Or I'll shoot!"

"Woah, geez, I'm going...I'm going..." He says, opening the door.

He runs out of the bathroom and out the room.

I enter the room too, where Fel and that guy are still kissing.

Hmm...this is actually quite fun.

"Get off her..." I say. "Now!"

The boy looks up to see me pointing the gun towards him.

"What?" He says.

"I said...move! Out the door, now! Unless you want me to shoot-"

"I'm leaving!" He exclaims, grabbing all his things and sprinting out the door.

Fel gives me this 'what do you think you're doing?' Look.

"Amber..." She says. "Where did you, where did you get-"
