Don't Make A Sound

♣ 22 ♣

Adrian's POV:

"She came here for a fresh start! She didn't know he was gonna follow her here! She didn't even know he was alive! You don't know anything about her so why don't you just keep her name out of your mouth!" I shouted,

He seemed stunned to see me and glanced at my mom before back at me.

"What I do know is that three people are dead and four got hurt! That can't be ignored especially when right now your the closest thing to her!" He yelled back,

"Exactly! Derek just got stitched up for breaking rules! If Im the closest thing to her, then I got the biggest target on my back which means he wants me here! If you send me away, he'll kill more than just me!" I explained,

I breathed in through my nostrils and tried to calm down. I didn't want to keep shouting in front of my mom who was biting her lip and looking down.

"Look, I get it. I know you are scared and you have every right to be. But this isn't her fault. These are her friends dying too. Her brother. I need to be there with her to comfort her. To protect her, even if that means having my life on the line." I said, calmly.

"Adrian, don't talk that way. Please." My mom pleaded,

"I promise I'll do everything I can to stay alive but I'm not going anywhere. And that's the end of this." I concluded,

Or at least tried.

"All of this over a girl, Adrian?! There's others out there!" He spat, angrily.

"You would know that, huh?" I threw back,

I gave my mom a quick hug before going out the door, my dad yelling out for me but I was done listening to any more he had to say.

I got into my car and took off to Isabella's house. I didn't care much for my dad right now but it did hurt me to worry my mom.

But I'm stuck in this now and I'm not leaving especially when things are like this.

I pulled into the driveway and pulled the spare key from the replaced plant by their door before heading in.

"Princess, I'm back! Have you eaten?" I called,

I threw my back pack and started looking through her cabinets to cook for her.

I narrowed my eyes when I didn't hear anything.

"Princess!" I repeated,

I peaked upstairs and there was no movement or sound of any kind. It gave me a bad feeling in my gut. I rushed upstairs, stepping two at a time.

"Isabella!" I shouted before pushing open her bedroom door.

The room was trashed. The curtains were ripped from the windows and everything was thrown on the floor or broken. There was a small puddle of blood staining her carpet. I looked in her bathroom but she was no where in there.

My heart began pounding. Where is she?

That same thought repeated over and over in my head, my chest was heaving as I ran my fingers through my hair.

What the fuck am I gonna do? Does he have her? Is she hurt?

Suddenly, I felt a pain in the back of my head. I don't know how I fell, but I did. My vision faded as I tried to stay conscious.

"Isabella." I managed to croak out,

But I got dizzier and fell into the darkness.
