Plasters And Bandages (COMPLETED ✔️)

Chapter Twenty Three

Alex's POV

They left.

They went drinking.

Now was my chance.

Ages ago I grabbed a key that one guy accidentally dropped and I was saving it for now.

I carefully opened the gate to my cell and ran.

I ran and ran.

Through the corridors and the empty kitchen.

I reached the front door and fiddled with the locks. Either the door felt heavy or I was weak, I wasn't sure.

I mustered up all my strength and pushed open the door. 10:36 was the time before I left the cell. I pushed the door open and ran past all the shops and past all the pubs and clubs.

Past the club I went missing at.

Then it dawned on me where I was kept. I was kept in the house two streets away from the club. So close to home.

But I didn't let it distract me, I ran all the way home.

But it wasn't my home anymore. There were lights all around it and it looked so homely, so family-ish. Never what it was to me. I started to cry. I'd been missing for 6 months. No one remembers me. Hell my own dad kicked me out when he found out I was 'dead'.

So I went to Logan's house. This was it. Everything would go back to normal.

"I'm coming!" I heard him shout.

"He-" he froze

"Logan.... what's wrong?"

"ALEX!" He jumped and wrapped his arms around me. He lifted me off the floor and swung me around in circles.

"Put me down now" I giggled.

"Oh Logan! I can't, did everyone forget me?"

"Everyone moved on, we missed you so much but when the police told us that you were gone we gave up. There was a memorial for you and everything, but Beck never gave up, BECK! Let me call him!"

"Call him?"

"He got a phone" I know it's a small thing but I felt like I missed out on so much.

"Yeah Beck? Yeah you need to come home now!"

I couldn't believe it, it was over.

I'm free.

It's over.

"Logan, please can I go have a shower? I haven't showered since the day I went missing"

"Of course you can. Take some of Maggie's clothes from the top drawer in my room"

"W- what" my voice was soft and sad.

"Oh yeah, we've been going out for 3 months"

I didn't say anything I just went and showered.

The warm water surrounded my body and I felt the tears prick in my eyes.

Logan and Mags.

I missed out on so much. I'm just an extra piece in their lives now.

I showered for so long, I washed my hair with Logan's shampoo and I washed with his fancy shower gel too. I dried my hair and used a lotion on my arms and face. I found a closed pack of toothbrushes and used on to brush my teeth. I threw on some of Maggie's clothes, her fashion sense was still amazing, and went downstairs. I just wanted a cup of tea.

When I went down I saw Beck, he looked terrible. He had terrible dark circles under his eyes and his hair was a mess.

"Alex"

I ran over to his and hugged him tightly.

Before I remembered he was a cheat.

"Get off me!"

"What?"

"You fucking cheater"

"Alex I-"

"Can explain?" I scoffed "yeah don't bother, if you didn't guess, it's over" that hurt like me.

"I think you should go to sleep mate" Logan pointed upstairs and he smiled at me but I turned away to make a cup of tea.

"Alex, tell me what happened in there"

"I can't Logan"

I handed him a cup of tea.

"Please Alex"

"Logan, I don't not trust you but you would look at me differently"

"I would never"

I chugged my tea and put it on the coffee table.

"I was raped, every single day"

He looked at me silently and held me.

"Logan, they are going to come and look for me"

"They won't, go to sleep Alex, your safe here"

And that night I slept peacefully knowing I was safe.
