My bad girl, her player

Chapter 17

Arran's pov

Now I dont know if you have ever been in hiding...or locked in a hotel room for that matter, but as you can probably imagine its not much fun, even if the person your stuck with is the girl of your dreams. I sighed, sitting down on the bed and looked over at Megan. She was lying down, looking up at the ceiling and throwing crumpled up sheets of paper at the garbage bin in the corner. She sat up and looked at me.

"Let's go out." She suggested.

"Out where?" I asked.

"I have an idea, but first we need to make a sly stop to your parents." She said, pulling me to my feet.

"Is that really a good idea?" I asked hesitantly.

"Probably not, but we cant exactly live out the rest of our lives in a hotel room can we?" She said exasperated.

"Fine, so what if you do go back, whats that going to achieve?" I asked her.

"Not saying til you see." She said, pulling on a red snapback and a black hoodie. "Now lets go."

We thought it would be best if we didnt make direct contact with my parents, but merely came for what she wanted and left again. When I pulled over around the block, she climbed out the car skipping towards the house. My parents car was gone and she headed towards the garage, pulling out a silver key. When did my mom give her a key?

She unlocked the garage and headed to the back of the garage pulling a dusty sheet off what appeared to be two motorbikes at the back of the garage. One was black, the other white.

"We cant take those my mom will know." I told her.

She laughed. "This-" She pointed to the white one that had a blood red stripe painted down the side. "Is mine, this-" She pointed to the gleaming black one that had caught my eye. "Is your eighteenth birthday present from me. I was planning on telling you about my riding thing on your birthday, give you this and ask if you wanted to come out riding with me. I guess now is as good a time as any." She shrugged.

"Wait, you bought me a bike?!" I asked in disbelief.

"Well, I only paid for a third of it, the bikes are from my sponsor, so as long as Im seen riding them, there practically free." She said. "But since im out, and everyone knows im with you, its the same if your riding one." She explained.

I suppose that made it slightly better. I grinned and began to take the bike out of the house. When it was out, it shone light the stars against the sun and I could already see that it would be fast and dangerous. Her bike was more sleek, the colours complimented her perfectly and I watched in awe with the ease she climbed on. It was hard to believe that this girl was Dauntress. She started the engine and looked at me. "You ready?" 

I climbed on, a little more clumsily than her perfect mount and started the engine. I could ride, but I knew I would be nothing compared to her. Yeah, that was a serious blow to my ego.

"Where are we going?" I asked her.

"Freeway, I'm taking you to where I first learned to ride, thought you would like a few pointers." 

Megan's pov

"Right, keep your head further down, it will increase your speed, and keep your arms in tighter, it will perfect your balance and stop you creating a drag that will slow you down." I told him.

He adapted his position and took off again. He was a good rider and with my tips he might even rival me soon. I heard squealing and I looked up to see Arran coming off his bike. I looked down at the ground and saw it....a trail of oil leaking onto the ground...someone had cut the breaks.

I raced over to him, screaming his name in a hope he would reply, but every second that passed made the panic in me rise even more. I reached him and placed my hand on his wrist, trying to find a pulse. It was there but faint....I was going to loose him...

**

The paramedics arrived shortly and raced him to hospital, phoning his parents. Something within me had changed and now I knew I was going to kill him...my father, the man that was supposed to protect me...I was going to kill him and I knew exactly where to find him. I was playing straight into his hands, but he didnt realise I wasnt a pawn in this game of chess, I was the queen and the queen always protects the king.
