The boy in the hallway

Escape tactics and new friendships? 👀💞

ISABEL'S POV:

Cindy told me she was going to help me escape. well she didn't break her promise. After her somewhat confession she took me back and they questioned me about Aiden's whereabouts. I told them nothing of course. they shouted and tried to hurt me. but I refused. After the questioning Cindy secretly took me outside and we discussed escape plans.

"Ok here's what we are gonna do, climb over that fence and shimmy under that wire. and then we simply run." 

"Sounds simple enough I guess" I shrug at her.

"It seems so but trust me it's harder than you would think." She says.

"3, 2, 1 Let's go!" Cindy climbs over the fence easily, I struggle to keep up but manage to find my way. As I'm by the wire my top gets stuck in the wire. 

"Shit" 

"Hurry!" Cindy shouts from the other end of the wire. Then with a push from Cindy I'm out on the other end. We hear shouts from Cindy's mum and her other posse. 

me and Cindy bolt it and sprint down the street. We head to the trees for cover. 

"Well done. We've done it"  Cindy breathes out. 

I laugh and hug her.

Oh this is weird. 

Cindy pulls an awkward face and act casual after we break apart.

"Sorry I don't know why I did that..." I look at my shoes nervously. 

"Uh no don't worry it's chill.. I...It's nice to not be fighting or anything. it's kinda nice." Cindy laughs nervously.

"Look Isabel I know I've done stuff to you. I know that I really do. I know I've hurt you. Humiliated you and so much more. But you know why now I guess... But do you think we could maybe like move on and forget that any of this even happened. And have a fresh start?" She smiles at me hopefully. I smile back and nod my head. We awkwardly hug again and then make our way into the woods to get back home. 

[2 hours Later]

Me and Cindy had finally reached the nearest town. We found a police station and Cindy told them everything. Her mum and her plans for me and Aiden. The police officer took down the address of where  Cindy's mum still was with her crew. Me and Cindy waited in the police station and they gave us food and drink. About half and hour later a bunch of police officers marched in with Cindy's mum and crew handcuffed. 

"CINDY! YOU BETRAYED ME! YOU BETRAYED US! YOUR OWN MOTHER! I HATE YOU, YOU LITTLE-" 

But Cindy's mum wasn't able to finish her sentence. The officer shut her up and took her into a different room. I look over to Cindy and I see that silent tears are running down her cheeks. 

"Hey.. it's ok" I wipe her tears and smile at her. 

"My dad would be so disappointed in me if he knew I turned mum in..." She sobbed quietly. 

"No he wouldn't. If he was still the same man from when you were younger he would have understood why you did it. Honestly Cindy. He loves you deeply under all those drugs and problems." 

Cindy looked at the ground and shook her head. 

"Isabel I'm sorry I've been so horrid to you. Especially when I've now realised that you're so lovely. Honestly you're so nice.. I don't deserve this, why are you being so nice to me when I've done nothing but be horrible to you." She looks up at me puzzled.

"Because it's the right thing to do. And under all that upset and feelings. You're a good person at heart." 

"How do you know?" She sniffles.

"I just do. And if your dad could see you right now he'd be so proud of you." 

"Really?" She asks.

"Yes.." 

"You think so?" She wipes her tears.

"I know so." I smile at her and give her a hug. 

Soon after that a kind police officer drove me and Cindy home. He dropped Cindy off first and me and Cindy exchanged numbers and hugged once more. Then he dropped me off. My mum was so happy to see me. And guess who else popped round.?

Aiden.

I rang him as soon as I had seen my mum. He and everyone else came to mine so quickly. 

"Isabel I've missed you." Aiden nuzzles into my neck after everyone else had left. 

"I've missed you too." 

He kisses me and then after a while we head to bed. 

"Goodnight Gorgeous" he pecks me on the lips before turning over.

"Goodnight Asshole" 

He chuckles and then I'm pulled  into a deep sleep. 

CINDY'S POV:

I hate myself. What have I done? I can't believe I was so mean to Isabel for so long. What kind of monster am I?! I cry myself to sleep that night. 

Hey so yes this is short but I wanted to write at least something. Hope you enjoyed it anyways!

Until next timeeee!

Xoxo Iona 💋💙
