Perri and Him-the fifth book to series 'Perri and Me' about Perri Kiely

Chapter 1 Part 7

I'm actually quite frustrated right now. I just sit in the car waiting for Pel. He comes back in before shutting the car door.

"So....find anything?" I say.

"No..." He sighs. "I was just making sure they were out of sight..."

I clasp the wallet in my hand but Pel grabs it from me.

"Perri!" I shout. "That's my evidence..."

"This is going to be shown to Danielle...then the police. Tomorrow...." Perri says.

"Yes..." I say. "And I found it- so I'm showing it to Danielle."

"No you're not..." Perri stays, starting the engine. "You are staying at home with Natalie- so you don't risk any chance of hurting yourself.."

Hurting myself? Apart from the fact that I skipped telling him about when the girl pointed a gun at me...

"Pel- that's not fair!" I say.

"It's fair, Amber..." Perri says, driving now.

"No- it's not!" I say, trying to grab the wallet back from him. "If it wasn't for me we wouldn't have found them!"

I try grabbing the wallet again and this causes Pel to almost lose control and crash the car into the sidewalk.

"Amber- what the hell? Stop..." He says.

Soon, I stop trying. But I'm so angry I can't breathe for a second. We arrive home and I completely ignore him.

I just climb straight into bed and start to cry. I don't know if it's the pregnancy that's making me all emotional but I just feel so annoyed right now....

"Ambs...." Pel sighs, climbing in next to me. "You know I love you..."

"Leave me alone..." I murmur.

"I'll never leave you alone..." He says. "I'm only doing what's best for you."

"No you're not. You're doing what's best for the baby-"

"And you." He says.

I turn over to face him.

"Then let me go with you..." I say.

"Amber-"

"If I'm cooped up in here any longer I'm going to do something stupid..." I say. "Please..."

He just sighs.

"I'm going to sleep..." He says. "I think you should too."

"So- is that a yes?" I ask.

He doesn't answer.

So I start crying again and he wipes my tears but all I want is to go with him tomorrow...

When I wake up I'm startled to see Perri already changed. I check my watch and it's nine.

"Why are you dressed?" I say.

"Because..." He says. "I'm going."

"You're not going anywhere without me." I say.

"Amber! Stay here- Natalie's in the living room...." Perri says.

I try to argue but he's out of the door and Natalie locks the door behind him and puts the keys in her pocket.

"Want some breakfast?" Nat, smiles.

I shake my head before running back into my room. I'm going to that meeting- weather he likes it or not.

I pull off my clothes, shower and wash my hair, slip into a nice floral dress and some black shoes, then tie my hair up.
