The Secret

Unwanted Guests

"Colby colby we saw someone else in the guest house" clare shouted as they reached us.

Colby shot up as there was a massive bang from the guest house his dad and mom came running out of the house.

Colby took off running followed by his father i hear shouting and colby came running back as his dad ran around the side of the house he grabbed me as he told the twins to run ahead into the house, with out knowing what was going on i stayed frozen staring at the guest house so he picked me up and carried me inside and locked the door his mom was on the phone with the police and colby and the twins ran around locking everything.

I was standing in the kitchen and was on the verge of a panic attack as i still heard shouting and that's when the panic took over i started hyperventilating, tears started to fall i didn't know where to go i didn't know what was happening and i couldn't just go roaming around the house i just fell to my knees.

I sat there sobbing and trying to breath and soon enough clare came in and she spotted me, she walked over and asked if i was okay but i couldn't respond so she ran off calling back that she's going to find colby but everything was blurry and quickly faded to black.

I woke up in a strange room laying on the bed i look around i sit up and see colby standing on a tiny patio looking down, i stand and walk over i open the sliding door and he turns cigarette in his mouth to look at me.

"Oh you're awake how are you feeling you had me worried" he says after taking a drag.

I walk to the railing looking down, i see paul and tyler two of adams friends sitting on the lawn in front of the guest house in handcuffs.

"Alright i guess what happened?" i ask looking at them as i watch as the cops are talking to john and cassy.

"Well me and dad went in and saw them climbing out the window and knowing who they were i needed to keep you safe so i came to protect you while dad chased them and i was running around making sure no one could get in and clare came running to me saying something was wrong with you so i rushed to you but when i got there u had passed out and hit your head pretty hard so i carried you up to my room, not long after the police got here and went to find dad. They found both boys unconscious and dad was bleeding." he spoke slowly making sure i was keeping up, i nodded looking down again.

"Is john okay?" i ask quietly.

"Huh, oh dad yeah he's fine" he said as he looked back at his dad.

"Colby i'm sorry i carry so much shit with me i'll just go back to the house you guys are safer that way" i say looking away before turning to walk away.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me into his bare chest.

"No please stay" he mumbled into my hair.

I nod praying he keeps holding me like this but he lets go and coughs walking inside i follow him in and we walk down stairs and into the back yard, the police were just finishing talking to cassy and john.

The police help the guys up and walk them away and cassy walked up to me pulling me into a hug then pulls away.

"Okay so they are going to be monitoring the house from now on" cassy said placing her hands on my shoulders.

I nod and she walks away, i go to the door of the guest house and look in scared i look behind me to see colby standing there he nodded and i walk in i go to my room and slam the window closed and lock it.

I stand there shaking for a minute then i walk into the bathroom to fix my makeup, i look in the mirror and see that i have a cut on my forehead i quickly put a bandage on it and fix my hair and makeup.

I walk back into the living room and see colby sitting on the couch he stands as i walk up to him and we go outside, there are a bunch of people in the yard now i'm guessing they are the guests colby was telling me about.

I freeze seeing a boy our age walking our way, colby gently leads me a hand on my lower back.

He sits me down next to cassy and walks over to the boy giving him a man hug, clare runs up to me quickly stops in front of me with a big smile on her face.

"Annabelle if your feeling better do you think you can do my makeup" she asks bouncing on her toes

I smile glad to see she feels comfortable around me.

"Sure if it's okay with your mommy" i say and she jumps in front of her mom waiting till she's done speaking then she sweetly asks.

Her mom said yes so she takes my hand and we walk to the guest house, i put together my most innocent makeup i had and we went back out to my seat.

She sat in front of me and i pulled out the make up and started putting some on her.

Once i was done i gave her a pat on the head and a caring smile telling her shes all done, she ran over to cassy and showed her her make up then did the same to colby and her dad.

I stood up and walked to the guest house and put my makeup away i slowly walk to the door when i hear colbys voice.

"So that chick is she like your girlfriend man?" the other boy our age says.

"Nah man shes a class mate" colby responded quickly.

"Well shes a very fuckabul classmate so get her in the sack before someone beats you to it man" the other boy laughs out.
