Secret Love

Chapter Twenty

Chapter Twenty

I awoke with someone shaking me.

I jumped and quickly crawled to the corner of the bed.

When I looked up I sighed. I saw Louis looking surprised at how fast I had moved.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” He said.

“No, its fine, I’m just really jumpy at the moment.” I laughed nervously. “What time is it.” Noting how it was still a little dark outside.

“It’s six in the morning. We are getting you out of here.” He said.

My heart beat rapidly against my ribs.

“Really? How? Who’s we?” I asked questions still going through my mind.

He smiled a small smile, stood up and reached out for my hand.

I grabbed his hand and we went through the door. We silently walked down the stairs, I stepped where he stepped, avoiding all the creaks and groans the stairs gave.

Once we were finally off the stairs we led me further into the house.

I pulled him to a stop.

“What are we doing?” I whisper yelled.

He didn't answer me, just pulled me in further.

I suddenly thought that maybe he was leading me into a trap. How could I be so stupid? Of course he was tricking me. He worked for Peter Hernandez, for god sake.

Why am I so naive and stupid?

I felt my eyes prickle with tears.

Louis or Peter were probably going to kill me.

I was never going to see Stacy or Jake or Joe or my dad or mum. I couldn’t even think about Elliot.

God, we were never going to get married and have children like I had dreamed we would.

I couldn’t think straight.

I was never going to see the people I love again I was being pulled into my worst nightmare.

Louis dragged me into the basement and locked the door behind him.

I gasped.

The basement was pitch black, I couldn’t see or hear a thing.

My heart beat hastily in my ears and I felt it lurch in my throat.

This was it.

I was going to be murdered or even worse.

I gulped.

Light shined throughout the room, blinding me momentarily.

“Ari.” I jumped and fell on my ass.

“W-what.” Was all I could get out.

Stacy, Riley, Jake, Joe, Toby, my Mum, dad, auntie, uncle and Elliot.

I felt tears descend down my cheeks.

Stacy ran and hugged me tight as I sobbed into her shoulder.

We stood up and I was engulfed into a warm, soft embrace.

I knew it was Elliot, I sobbed harder.

God I missed him so much.

I pulled away slightly but still in his arms.

He took my face in his hands and looked at me intently.

“I’m going to kill that son of bitch.” He whispered angrily.

We kissed softly, but passionately. Missing the embraces we have been restrained from having. Someone cleared there throat.

Everyone gave me a side hug as I didn’t want to let Elliot go.

“What are you guys doing here? How did you get in? Wha-” I rambled getting cut off by Louis.

“They are here because I phoned them. I told them to come here before we arrived, they were in the basement when we arrived and we had to wait until the perfect moment. I put your dad down here. No one else has been down here. No one knows they are here.” He said. “We need to get you out of here.”

“Not before I kill him.” Elliot, Toby, Joe, Jake, Riley and Stacy said making me chuckle.

They all looked at me strangely.  

“What?” I asked confused.

“Nothing A, it’s just weird that you laughing we thought that you would be-” Jake mumbled.

“Mentally impaired? Depressed? Hell no, I’m not going to let him affect me. Plus I'm so happy that you guys are here and getting me out.” I said. “Wait, What about you, Louis? We are not going to kill Peter, we can’t because if something happens to you all. I am not going to marry him. If he finds out that you let us go?” I said.

“I’m coming with you.” He said. “so is a couple of others.” He finished surprising me.

“Ok, maybe we should get going then.” I stated going up the stairs.

Once we reached the stairs there were a couple of other guys, I vaguely recognized.

We all headed for the door.

“Where the hell do you think you’re going.”

I stopped dead in my tracks. Cold shivers going down my spine from the voice.

I spun around and looked Peter dead in the eye.

I didn’t notice he was holding a gun in his hand until he pointed it at me.

I gulped.

My gut feeling was right.

I knew something bad was going to happen.
