Truth Or Dare

Chapter 11 Help!

"Hello?" It was two in the morning and someone was persistently ringing my phone. I contemplated chucking it on the floor but decided against it.

"You need to come quick Katie's in trouble!" Jack's voice was frantic and with my brain still fuzzy from sleep it took me a few seconds to realise what he was saying.

"What happened?" I asked needing more information to see if the police needed to be involved.

"It's Jake he's being extremely abusive! He's hitting her and swearing - oh god just get here ASAP!" I didn't need a moment to collect my thoughts as I was up and dressed in no time. I grabbed my mum's car keys and dived into the driver's seat.

I realised that I didn't actually know where I was going, he didn't say. So as illegal as it is I rang him whilst I was driving. Jack answered on the second ring.

"The park where we met before, in the cabin!" I hung up yet again and redirected my route. My fingers tapped against the steering wheel with concentration and I was nervous. I hate to admit it but I was.

I practically launched myself out of the car and stumbled through the trees till I came to the cabin. It was peacefully silent but I knew what was behind the doors was otherwise.

I flung open the door with an almighty crash. But I was wrong. It was terrifyingly quiet.

Oh shit. I've been set up.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is! Ethan Cartwick!" I knew from that deadly voice it was none other than Josh Devine.

"What do you want?" I question with a reasonably strong voice.

"Your skull cracked open!" This was another voice. One I'd become accustomed to over the last few days.

"Why how lovely, Jake," I shot him a glare that made him smirk. An evil smirk that made my skin crawl.

"It would be a magnificent sight, seeing your blood dripping on the cold floor!" Jake spat beginning to circle me like I'm his prey.

I gulped loud enough for them to notice, I felt like my life was going to end and that I would have to let them practically kill me.

I may sound a little too dramatic but I didn't feel like this could possibly end well. Someone was going to get seriously hurt and I'm sure it was me.

I suddenly felt an overwhelming burst of courage as I lunged towards Josh catching him completely off guard.

His broad frame slammed against the hard floor, I had the upper hand as I kicked him in the stomach he groaned in pain and clutched his side.

I expected to be pulled off by Jake as he was in no doubt stronger then me but when I turned to see his reaction he was sat on the sofa finding entertainment in the current brawl.

Josh grunted and gasps as I repeatedly hit him. I came to my senses and climbed off him. I looked at my hands; bloodied by Josh's injuries. I couldn't believe they were mine, I would never physically hurt someone. I didn't feel like myself, I felt stronger in every way and maybe a little bit proud.

I inspected Josh with guilt but the the sudden clapping from Jake brought me back to reality.

"I didn't think you had it in you," He stood up to his fall height which intimidated me.

"I'm pleasantly surprised," He waltzed straight pass me and knelt by Josh.

I remained silent as Jake continued to talk.

"You stupid git!" With great force Jake kicked Josh in the chess causing him to spew up blood.

I was dumbfounded by the way Jake treated his so-called friends. Why did they even like him. The answer was obvious; they were scared.

Friends.

My 'friend' was the one who told me to come here. He set me up. Jack. I almost couldn't believe it but recently he has been doing unexpected things.

Jake's head whipped around to face me and he had the most menacing smile on his face as he walked over to me.

"You are awfully quiet. I knew you would beat him up. Being a criminal runs in the family, doesn't it?!" My breath caught in my throat. Oh my god. Jack, he wouldn't? He would? He did!

"Your dad's in jail right and I heard your mum is a massive bitch, putting your poor beloved father in Jail! What a massive cunt she is!" Anger rose in me causing me to try and lash out at Jake.

"She is an amazing mum, my dad is the cunt!" I yelled but he just threw me effortlessly onto the floor.

A gentle voice spoke out of nowhere.

"What the hell is going on in here?"
