kidnapped by robbers // m.h

Chapter 20

Summer's POV:

"Summer, can I speak to you for a second?" Savannah asked.

I suppose I better put on my big girl pants and get on with life. You know what they say, as soon as you hit rock bottom, it can only get better.

"Sure."

Savannah lead my through the halls of the mansion into her bedroom. Adam was sitting calmly on her bed.

"Savannah, I don't think it's the right time to tell her." Adam said.

"Tell me what?"

"Of course it is Adam. After everything she's been through, she deserves - she needs help."

"Tell me what?" I repeated. Ignore me then.

"You'll ruin everything."

"Look around you Adam. Everything is already ruined. She's ruined. The case doesn't even matter anymore" She snapped. As soon as the words slipped out, she slapped her hand over her mouth.

"Can you tell me what's going on please?!" I interrupted.

Everybody stayed quiet.

"Will someone tell me what the fuck is going on?!" I screamed. Both heads snapped towards me. That's what I thought.

Adam huffed and said, "Savannah can tell you."

***

"What do you mean?" I whispered.

"All of this time you could of got me out and prevented everything from happening, but you decided that loosing Matty's trust is more important than my wellbeing?" I screamed. I actually cannot believe this.

Savannah sat there whilst Adam gave her the 'I-told-you-so' look.

"I might go tell Matty myself."

"No Summer! You can't! You'll ruin everything."

"You ruined everything! Adam, my whole life is ruined. I will never get past this. If I don't get out soon, I'm never going to be the person that I need to be. I'm now scared of going outside Adam. I mean, what kind of person is scared of going outside? I can't even look at my own reflection because I feel dirty and sick. Don't you get it? I need to escape before I go insane." Sobbing, I wrapped my arms around myself and tried to keep down my vomit.

"We'll make you a deal. If you keep our secret, we'll help you escape. Okay?"

I nodded my head and closed my eyes.

"Okay." I whispered.

What an emotional day.

***

Matty's POV:

Betrayal.

Hurt.

Anger.

With those three emotions convulsing through my veins, I headed down to the gym and took my anger out on the punching bag.

How dare they. I thought they were my friends, but clearly they can't be trusted. Even though Summer still wants to escape, I will never give her the satisfaction of leaving. I refuse to take my anger out on Summer, simply because of everything she's been through. She deserves better. I will be the person she needs, she just needs to see it.

Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I race back to my room and see Summer lying there on the bed. She looked peaceful, so I allowed her to sleep. I'll confront her later.

***

I head down the stairs to make Summer some food. I prepare cajun chicken pasta and a side fish of sauces and breadsticks. Presented quite well, if I do say so myself.

Summer dawdles down the stairs and into the kitchen, rubbing her eyes whilst resembling a young child. Her eyes were ringed red, clearly showing that she had been crying. However, the situation at hand is much more important.

"Were you planning on telling me?" I spat.

She looked shocked for a second, but quickly masked it.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh, you know exactly what I'm talking about."

"If this is about my unc-"

I cut her off, "This isn't about your uncle."

Confusion masked her face.

"What are you on about then?"

"Were you planning on telling me that Adam and Savannah are police officers?!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh snap!

Did any of you expect that?

Is Matty gonna be nice or continue his dickish moves?

Sorry for the short chapter:/
