Nothing more Twenty Three

Lola's P.O.V

My eyes widened. Thousands of questions spun through my head that I just wanted answers for but by the time I managed to speak Dan had grabbed my wrists again and was pulling me out of the lounge "Come on Lola. Let’s go. Everyone we're going NOW!" Dan demanded signalling for Kyle, Sophie and everyone else who was patiently waiting in the kitchen to get into the car.

To be honest I didn't want to go. I wanted to ask questions like why didn't he kill me, what is going to happen to him and was this related to the taxi incident?

I took a strop all the way back to Dan's house whilst Sophie was driving because part of me was thinking that I can't trust Dan any longer. How do I know that he wasn't or still part of their plan? Dan spent the journey telling everyone what we had talked about but I just didn't want to hear it so I reached into my pocket grabbed my phone and listened to some Artic Monkeys all the way back with my headphone's in. 

When we arrived at Dan's everyone made their separate ways, Kyle and Janna walked straight upstairs because it was about 3:00am and Sophie and the rest went back home.

I didn't feel like staying over at Dan’s tonight so I went inside, packed a few essentials into my rucksack and headed back out of the door.

 Until I was stopped by Dan who grabbed my wrist and turned me around so I could see him. "Where are you going?" Dan asked his blue eyes manipulating me as he leant in for a kiss but I just immediately remembered everything and turned my head in refusal.

"Back to my flat!" I said with a fair bit of confidences and anger as I rubbed the little remanding skin on my wrists that had been burnt away from his aggression.

"Why you going back there. This is more or less your house now." He said with utter confusion.

"I just want some time to myself now." Turning back around before Dan notices the tears erupting.

"Well at least let me walk you back" Dan said grabbing a hold of my rucksack.

"No, honestly I’m old enough to walk back. You go to sleep." I said giving a small wave and returning to the pavement before Dan had a chance to sway me back.

"I love you Lola" Dan shouted but it didn't help. I moved my head down, said nothing and kept my eyes on the direction I was going.

Dan's P.O.V

I didn't want to let myself or Lola say anymore. Ralph was going to murder my girlfriend so how could I possibly forgive him. I guess I have lost my best friend. This sucks but then thinking about it I was probably never was his friend if he could think about doing such a thing to me and Lola.

I new Lola would have wanted to stay and get more out of him but I thought that that could wait. I grabbed her skinny wrist and pulled her out, she was making it harder for me as she kept on scrambling but I knew it was all for the best.

Driving back home, everyone was keen to know what had happened. I happily told them, thinking that everyone should now know the true person behind Ralph although Lola didn't say a thing. She sat daydreaming out of the window, complete silence and when we arrived back she said nothing more or nothing less. Packed her bags and left without many answers.

I watched her make her way down the street. She looked so vulnerable so I shouted "I love you Lola" but she just chose to ignore it.

After her silhouette had disappeared I shut the door behind me and slumped myself down beside the door.

What have I done?
