Other Half(#Wattys2014)

Chapter Five

Aprill POV

*************

" Abby?" I can't believe she is here. " How the hell did you find me?" 

"A-A-A-prill, I'm your friend. I came back for you." 

"Screw you Abby, you left me. Go away." 

" There's something else...." only then do I notice that someone is standing behind Abby. 

" Who is he??" I ask,as I look down at her neck, and see that her necklace is red.

" This is Chris. Chris, this is Aprill"

He chuckles. 

" So you're the famous Aprill I've been hearing about. Well, you're a lot shorter than I expected for a heartless bitch." 

What did he just call me?

" Abby, exactly how much did you tell him?" I am staring daggers at her.

" Uh,Ummm. Almost everything. "  

I can't believe her. I practically shove her through the doorway.

"Get in. Both of you." Chris looks like he is about to object, but goes inside anyway. I knock on Ryan's door, and he joins us a minute later.

Ryan pulls me to one side of my room, while Abby and Chris sit on the bed. 

" What's going on?" He whispers, and I quickly fill him in on what he missed. 

" Well that's a problem." He says, and we turn to Abby. 

" What the hell were you thinking! Telling him! Coming here!" I practically scream at her. I feel a hand on my arm, and calm down a little, knowing it's Ryan. 

" What're you going to do Aprill, " Chris says with venom, " Kill us too?"  

I don't know how to answer that but Ryan does. He reaches for my gun, and his hand brushes my side. I feel a strange tingling sensation run through me. He finishes getting the gun, and the feeling disappears. Ryan levels the gun at Chris.

"If we have to." He says. Abby's face turns pale. I almost laugh at the site of her so stressed out.  

" Please, Ryan, no. You have no idea who he is!" Abby screams, but it comes out as a whisper. I turn and look at Abby, stopping inches from her face.

" And who is he, exactly?" I whisper in her ear. She gulps, and looks between myself, Chris, and Ryan, before looking at Chris again,

" Tell them who you are."

Chris stares directly at me when he talks, " I work for The Society. I'm an observer"

I move without even realizing it, I'm almost pinning Abby to the wall. My hand is close to being on her throat, and she is squirming underneath it. Ryan pulls me back off of her, and it takes everything in me not to try to punch him. What am I becoming? I am panting now, on the floor. 

" You brought an observer?" I croak out at her, my vision is blurred, and I have no idea where she actually is. 

" W-W-Was it a m-m-mistake?" She stammers, and now I can see her clearly, and even more clearly, I can see the marks my hands left on her throat. I need to get my shit together. 

"No, Abby, it was a great idea, what could be better than bringing an observer here? I mean, we're not fugitives or anything. Nope, not at all." My voice is dripping with sarcasm, even though I'm on the floor, I feel more powerful than ever. 

"I-I'm so s-s-sorry Aprill, I just wanted you to meet him, and I want us to be friends again. I miss you."

The biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard

" Alright Abby, if you really want to stay, do tell us what do do about him." I say, and jerk my head in Chris's direction.

Chris glares at me, before finding his own voice, " Look, Abby and I will just be on our way now. You'll never see us again." 

As he says those last words, he and Abby have almost reach the door, and are out of the room before I can do anything to stop them. I finally manage the strength to pull myself off the floor. Getting to my feet, I look at Ryan ,

" I have a felling that no matter what Chris says, we'll be seeing bth of them again." 

Ryan gives a small nod, 

" I know"
