That's What I Thought | s.m

Chapter Twenty-Six

Melody Reagan.
"He should be back by now. why isn't he back yet?" i asked myself as i paced around the empty kitchen. I'd prepared a small dinner for Shawn for when he came in, just as a thank you for letting me stay with him. He's been gone for about three hours now and i've been worried sick. He hasn't answered any of my calls, he hasn't replied to my texts, he hasn't even seen them. I phoned everyone else too, Ian and Andrew etc, but they didn't reply either. Leading me to believe something was horribly wrong.

Being the worried person i am, i continued to phone and text Shawn, hoping at one point my phone would ping and he would of texted back, telling me he was okay.

"Shawn's strong Melody, get yourself together, he's okay." i tried to convince myself as i took my plate and made my way to the living room, my phone in my pocket at all times incase he got in contact. I sat down on the couch, turned on the season finale of Pretty Little Liars and began eating my food, praying that he would phone me back soon.

"What the hell was that?!" i screamed at the TV once the episode was finished, "I've waited all these years for them to plant this shit on me. No thanks." Taking the remote, i turned off the TV and brought my plate it into the kitchen, washing it and then putting it away. And then it clicked. That was a two hour episode, and my phone didn't ping once. Something was definitely wrong.

The lights flickered as i ran up the stairs into my room and grabbed a purse Shawn had bought for me. I shoved my phone and wallet in it and threw it over my shoulder, making sure to grab my car keys on the way out.

"Shit, my shoes!" i cussed as i ran through every room trying to find them, "Where the hell are they?!"

"Looking for these?" a familiar voice startled me. Stopping dead in my tracks i spun round to face them.

"Give me them now Alex." i spat

"I could, but where would the fun be in that?" she smirked, taking them and placing them behind her. "Oh and I wouldn't try to take those either if i were you, i've got a silver surprise in my pocket that you really wouldn't want me to use."

"Why are you doing this?! I thought you'd left me alone!" i exclaimed, anger flushing through my veins, my fear invisible as i moved closer to her

"Oh hunny, you thought wrong." she chuckled, "Take a seat." When i didn't move, she took a step closer and reached into her pocket. "Sit Melody." I stood my place, showing no fear. Taking her hand from her pocket, she held a gun at my chest, "I said take a fucking seat bitch!"

Scurrying over to the couch i sat on before, i took a seat and watched as she came closer, her gun still pointed at my chest.

"We're going to have a little chat, and you're going to do everything i say or your little boyfriend isn't going to make it home for that lovely dinner you made him." she seethed, dragging a chair over in front of me. My breath hitched. Nausea overcame my body as I remembered when I was stuck in the basement of Shawn's warehouse. Bleeding out, slowly becoming weaker and weaker as the days dragged on. What if that's what's happening to Shawn now? No matter what he put me through, i still don't want him to experience the same things i did.

"Alright, comfy?" she asked, not waiting for my response as she continued, "Then let's begin. Where are your parents?"

"My parents? What do you want with them?" i shuddered at the thought of them working together

"That's none of your business, where are they?" she spat

"I-I don't know. They came to me earlier but i don't know where they are now. i told them to leave."

"Why? Are you not Mummy's little girl anymore?" her smile grew as she knew she was hitting a soft spot.

"No."

"Aww, poor baby," she pouted, leaning back in the chair, "If you don't know where they are, who does?"

"Are you really asking me that question?" i asked in disbelief, i knew she was stupid but i didn't think she was this stupid

"Are you really arguing back right now?" she mocked me in the same tone, spinning the gun around her finger, which made her wince every now and then when it hit against her middle finger. Interesting.

"I have no idea! They abandoned me incase you failed to remember, so how am i supposed to know anything about them?"

"Think. Where did they go whenever something was wrong, when they needed help?"

"I don't know," i stressed, my hands becoming sweaty as i clenched and unclenched my fists

"Yes. You. Do."

"No. I. Don't!" I screamed, kicking her hand with my foot as she yelled in pain, the gun flying out of her hand and across the room. Jumping up from the seat, i ran after it, gripping it in both hands and pointing it towards Alex, who was on the floor screaming in pain and holding her broken finger. That bitch deserves it.

"Where's Shawn?" i asked bluntly, the gun still pointing at her, "Tell me now."

"You really think I'd tell you?" she laughed hysterically, her laugh making me angrier by the second

"Where the fuck is he?! I will literally shoot a bullet through your head in 2.8 seconds if you don't tell me where he is!" i screamed

"No." she replied. My anger getting the best of me, i walked up closer to her, grabbing her neck and placing the gun to her temple.

"Last chance." i whispered

"Fine. Fine! Ill tell you, he's under the school, in the basement, i don't know if he's still alive or not." the sweat was basically dropping off of her as i let her go

"You better be right, or i will kill you next time." i seethed, slipping on my shoes and grabbing my purse once more and throwing the gun in it. It might be useful later. "And when i come back, you better be gone." i shouted back at her as i ran out the door

"If you come back."
