Chapter 29 ❀

{Bella’s Pov.}

I woke up the next morning, lying on Bens bed (before you jump to conclusions! No, I did not just have sex with him! Stop thinking that!).  I grabbed my phone to look at the time and what do i find? 54 missed calls and 110 texts from Beau, 26 missed calls and 88 texts from Jai, 56 missed calls and 120 texts from Luke, 19 missed calls and 6 texts from James, 14 missed calls and 10 texts from Skip and 17 missed calls and 24 texts from Mum. Shit!! I forgot to tell them where I was and my phone was on silent all night. I quickly got up and ran downstairs to find Ben. He was sitting on the couch shirtless, in his skinny jeans.

“Ben!! I forgot to tell the boys where I was last night!” I screamed in panic.

“It’s okay, calm down! They called me this morning and I told them you were here, but they want you to be home by 11 at the latest” I looked at the clock on the wall, ‘10:42’.

“I should probably get going then..” I said and starting heading for the door. Ben quickly got up and followed me, passing me my penny board.

“I’ll ring you later yeah?” he asked. I nodded

“Sure thing, I love you” I said and gave him a peck on the lips.

“I love you too beautiful girl” I blushed and then walked out the door.

I threw my penny on the ground and started to ride home. All of a sudden I heard a car horn go off. I turned around and felt sick. BANG off goes a gunshot. I dodged the first one, but that didn’t stop them. I picked my penny board up and started running. BANG BANG BANG, was all I could hear. I kept dodging the bullets. How the hell did Veronica’s brother get a freaking gun in Melbourne! Seriously! I heard one more, BANG. It went black.

 

{Luke’s Pov.}

It was 8pm and Bella still wasn’t home. I knew she had gone out with Ben, but i thought she would be back by now. I grabbed my phone and called her.

‘ring ring, ring ring….,  “Hey you’ve reach  Bella, you know what to do!”

I left a message.

“Hey, Bells, where are you? Come home soon okay? Love you”

I threw my phone on my bed and left it for a while.

I waited another two hours and she still wasn’t home and she hadn’t called back either. I kept calling and texting her for the rest of the night and still nothing. I called Ben too, but he was outta reach. By this point everyone in the house, along with James and Skip were calling her and texting her and still nothing.

“Luke, come you gotta sleep. It’s 12am. We’ll call again later. Come on” mum said, pulling me off the couch.

“NO, I HAVE TO STAY AWAKE AND STAY HERE!” I snapped. Mum nodded and kissed my head and then walked off to her room.

An hour later, my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID. “Ben Faggggg”. I answered it.

{Convo}

L: Ben!! Finally you answered!!

B: Yeah sorry Bro, phone was switched off. What’s up?

L: Have you seen Bella??? She didn’t come home after going to meet you! Have you seen her? We’re all really worried

B: Oh yeah, she’s here with me. After meeting up we came back to my house and stayed here and watched movies and just hung out with each other. I thought she told you.
