Chapter 12:
Lindsey's POV:
I got my purse and headed into my car with over a hundred messages from Nash. I can't leave him like this. It's not fair. Not for him. I drove to the hotel, luckily their flight got delayed because of a storm. They wouldn't be leaving for maybe another day. I got out and went to the room. I walked in because the door was open and I saw Jack Gilinsky, Shawn, Jc, and Nash sitting around. Once I stepped in Nash bolted to me. "What is going on? Is she ok?" I looked at him for a minute and then looked at everyone who was startled from his out burst. "Let's talk about this out in the hall." I led him outside and then closed the room door. "Listen, this hasn't been easy but..hold on."
I banged my hand against the door and I could hear the boys inside screech. "Anyway, I tried to tell you but I wanted to make sure that the situation wouldn't get crazier than it needed to be...I just thought....." He was giving me a look. "She's being blackmailed, okay?" His eye's widened and he scratched the back of his head. "What? By who?" I bit my lip because this was all on me. If I could trust him or not. In the end, I had to make a choice. "By Noah. He says he's going to do horrible things to her family if she doesn't break up with you."
I crossed my arms over my chest. ""What could that douce ever do to her family?" I gave him a worried look. "His dad is a police man. His mom is a lawyer. He could take her family down piece by piece. Seriously. He may not look like much but he holds a lot of dangerous information. I'm serious." He looked around nervousily. "Shit." He said. "Okay I'm going to go cancel my flight, can you meet me outside in about 15 minutes?" I nodded my head and went to the lobby.
I went outside and sat on the wall next to the front doors. Not long after I had been there, Nash showed up. "Okay we need to get her out of this blackmail." We kept walking as he explained to me his plan.
My POV:
I sat at home alone. My parents worked and my brothers were somewhere around the house. I finished three different shows. Orange is the New Black, Prettyu Little Liars, and Sherlock. I got a phone call from Nash that I didn't answer. Then about an hour later Lindsey called me. I answered. "Hey, what's up?" I bit into a prenzel. "Hey its Nash, listen. I know how we get Noah to leave you alone." I almost dropped my prezel hearing his voice. "Nash..." I couldn't finish my sentence. "Lindsey told me everything. I know how to stop him. There's no way in hell that I'm going to loose you. You're my Teratory." I felt his grin through the phone.
"What do you have in mind?" I said with a witty grin. I waited until exactly 11:00 before I snuck out of the house. I met Lindsey and Nash where they told me to meet them. We were outside of Woody's. We peared into the window and saw Noah and Tristen. We spotted Henry, long time friend who happen to be a cop but was better at role play than being an actual cop. "Okay you ready?" Nash asked us. "Ready." We said in harmony.
Henry walked in first. Nash followed him. He totally made it seem like he didn't even notice Noah. Henry got out a news paper and looked official. Nash walked up to him and sat down.
Nash's POV:
"Thanks for meeting me officer Henry, I know how busy you are after you arrested those guys back there and had to fill in for the deputy this afternoon." Henry grunted angrily. "What'd you want to talk about son. I've only got so much time before President calls to talk about the new government rule changes." I cleared my throat. "My friend is going through something right now. She doesn't know that I know what's going on but I had to ask you...how much trouble could someone get in if they were reported for blackmailing someone?" He sat up and gave me a serious look. Honestly, he looked like business and it was scary. Best of all, Noah was full on eaves-dropping.
"Well if someone get's cuaght then it could resullt in many years of prison. No matter how serious. This is a dangerous issue. Who's the friend and who's the black mailer?" I sat up more and cleared my throat. I gazed up and met Noah's eye's. I made it seem as if I just noticed that he was there. "I uh...rather not tell you specific names right...now. Listen, can we talk at the station. I feel safer to speak there." He gave me a cold stare. Then turned around, saw Noah then looked around the room suspiciously.
"Sure, then will you tell me the names?" I took a breath. "Yes." He stared at me before he got up. "Good but I have to take care of a few things down at the station before you start talking." He and I left and went to his car we drove down the street and he dropped me off at the liquor store a few blocks down the rode. "That sure did scare him." We all laughed.
"Now all I gotta do is wait for his phone call." I said still laughing. "Thanks so much Henry." He was laughing too. "Good night kids let me know what happens." We waved good bye and walked home. Right as we got into Tera's neighborhood my phone started buzzing. It was Noah.
