Falling For My Brother's Best Friend

FFMBBF - Chapter 23

I was slowly gaining consciousness, but the more conscious I got, the more my head was pounding. I couldn't remember a thing about what happened as I looked around me at the bright pink walls, pine wardrobe and draws, a bed with light pink sheets and darker pink pillows. the curtains were black so no light could get in and no-one could see into the room.

I got of the floor and walked towards the dresser, where a jewellery stand was covered in jewellery. A mirror was resting on the dresser and there was a make-up box resting on a chair. I walked over towards the wardrobe and opened it to find it filled with clothes.

Picking out a plain black v-neck I looked at the size...my size? I looked through the rest to see everything was my size. It pecked my curiosity at who this person was? How did they know me? How did they know my size?

My stomached started turning so I turned to see two doors in front of me. running through the one on my left I came into an en-suite, quickly looking round I ran for the toilet before I spilled my guts everywhere. I heard another door open and footsteps get closer. I knew when the person had entered the bathroom because I could hear his shoes on the tiles.

"Hey beautiful, long time no see!" I had déjà vu, right then and there. I grabbed some toilet paper, wiped my mouth, put the tissue in the toilet and flushed before slowly standing and turning to come face to face with none other than Jamie Norton. I suddenly remembered when I'd heard them before. When I went to the club with Jesse for our third date. Jamie appeared and got into a fight with Jesse.

"Hoping you like your room. it was especially done, just for you! Order of the boss." Jamie said with a emotionless expression. I looked at him, his clothes and my eyes zeroed in on the butcher knife in his right hand. He followed my gaze and lifted the knife, giving an emotionless chuckle. "Also order of the boss not to hurt you in any way. We're only allowed to make sure you don't escape."

I gave Jamie a weird look. We? Boss? What the hell is going on? Why am I even here? Who is the boss? What do they want from me? I walked straight past Jamie and into the bedroom before flopping down onto the bed. I felt so tired...exhausted lately. I didn't know why though.

I closed my eyes and thought about Luke. As soon as his face appeared in my mind something moved in my stomach and I was up and running for the toilet once again. Once I had finished throwing my guts up for the second time, I turned to come face to face with Jesse Cooper. "Are you part of the 'we' or are you the boss?"

Jesse gave me a slightly weird look. "Jamie didn't tell you who the boss is? Well I'm flattered that you think it is me, but no. If Jamie hasn't told you who the boss is, then I'm not going to." Jesse out stretches his hand towards me and I instantly flinched. When I looked down at his hand I noticed he was handing me my phone. I gave him a confused expression. "Phone whoever, don't tell them where you are, what happened, how you got here and nothing about Jamie, Boss and I...got it?"

I instantly snatched my phone and ran back into the bedroom and sat on the bed. I scrolled through my contacts before finding the one person I need to hear. I pressed call. The phone only rang twice before I heard the one voice that could keep me calm.

"Star? Oh my god, Sydney are you OK? Where did you go? Why didn't you wait for me after class? Please tell me your OK, Syd? Tell me where you are, I'll come and get you." Luke asked all in one breathe.

I smiled lightly. "Baby, calm down. I'm fine, I promise you. I'm sorry I didn't wait for you, I just felt so ill and had to leave. But I don't want you to come and get me Luke." I explained, my face falling slightly at the last sentence. I actually did want him to come and get me but who knew what would happen if I told him everything.
