Nathans POV

I watched the back of William and Samantha as they made conversation with April's uncle. I turned to Daniella who seemed interested in the bucket filled with eggs.

"Here," I said as I handed her the fake green book I got. "Hold this for me!"

"I thought Alex had it," she said with a frown and I didn't respond. When everyone seemed occupied with themselves I quickly ran down towards April's house.

I just need to get to her back door. The houses in this area have back doors. I ran all the around until I got to her door. With shaky hands I tried to open the door which was locked.

There was some flower pots on the window sill so I checked and ended up ruining the plants but it was worth it because the key was inside.

I practically kissed the key before unlocking the door with it. I could hear April's uncle speaking in a loud deep annoying voice. I walked slowly into the house and down the corridor until I saw the back of her uncle.

His body blocked the view of William and Samantha but I could hear them. It was then that I saw a door which camflouraged with the brick wall. The door was locked so I twisted the lock which released the door open for me.

I briefly looked back at the uncle to see him grab Samantha and almost pull her into the house. I got inside the room and closed the door behind me.

I was in complete darkness.

This had to be the basement.

I put my phone torch on and walked myself down the stairs gently to ensure I wasn't making too much noise. That was when I saw a figure lying down in the corner.

"April?" The figure didn't move an inch and I felt fear running through me.

"April it's me Nathan." I got to the last step before she sat up with her back facing me. "Please you are scaring me," I walked to her before putting my hand on her shoulder.

She seemed okay but I just knew something was wrong.

"You need to get out of here Nathan. I don't want you to get hurt," she said quietly.

"Then come with me."

"No!" She turned to face me and I gasped. Her left eye was swollen shut and she had some cuts on her face which had blood pouring from them.

"Leave! It's not safe!" She stated as she started to cry. I took a hold of her hand as I tried to pull her with me.

"Will is distracting your uncle let's go now!"

There was sudden a loud bang indicating that the front door has been shut. I felt myself freeze on the spot. April quickly got up from her spot and pulled me into behind the stairs.

"Stay here and don't make a sound," I nodded before sending a quick text to Daniella.

Start the party!

April went and sat right in front of the stairs with her legs crossed.

I put my phone off and leaned against the wall. The basement door open allowing in some light before it was shut again. Very slow footsteps made its way down the stairs and to April.

Her uncle stood in front of her with his back to me. "So you brought in your friends? What was the plan April? To get rid of me?" He let out a humourless laugh making April keep her head down in fear.

"Are you going to answer my questions?" April didn't say anything then suddenly he grabbed her arm and pulled on it hard. "Answer me!"

"I didn't plan anything I swear. They were worried about me because I was sad before," she said with fear laced in her voice.

"Before?" Her uncle asked as if he found out something huge. "As in before when you were at your friends house?"

"Yes," then realisation hit April's eyes and she tried to change her words but her uncle beat her to it.

He slapped her hard across the face.

I shut my eyes as I heard April's cries.

"Now you can't model tonight because you pissed me of and I have made you look ugly!"

I couldn't help but feel annoyed with this man. How can he treat a girl like this?

I thought men weren't allowed to hit girls.

I sat up a bit when I heard loud banging on the front door.

I let a loud sigh and her uncle immediately turned and looked at my direction.

What is wrong with me?

"What was that?"

"Someone is knocking!" April said with desperation. Her uncle ignored her walked straight to my hiding spot. When he saw me he grabbed me by the arm before dragging me to the middle of the basement.

"You can't do anything," I said in a firm tone and with both my hands up. Her uncle gave me a amused look before squatting down to my level.

"I can do whatever I like you stupid kid!"

He grabbed a fistful of my hoodie which didn't scare me but irritated me. "You have a BMW right?" I asked and I felt him still a bit. "I mean you and I both know it's not yours so how funny would it be if something happened to it. The owner wouldn't be-"

He immediately dropped me to the ground and looked up the stairs. The banging and shouting at the door was still going on. Her uncle ran up the stairs before unlocking the door and running out to the front door.

He wasn't bothered to close the door let alone lock it. I moved quickly to April and grabbed her hand.

"Let's go," I whispered and this time she followed me out of the basement. I left the basement door open and could hear her uncle shouting as we exited the room.

"Stop it you pricks!"

I guess the party has started. I let out a sigh of relief as we walked around the house to this front.

This might actually be over.
