Gone Missing

Chapter 15

~Macy POV~

 

When Charlotte was on the phone with Pete, I wasn't really listening. I was too busy watching Alex. I still can't believe that he would do such a thing. I thought we had something. I guess we didn't.

All of a sudden my attention is brought back to the group when Charlotte kissed Alex's cheek. I mean lip to cheek contact! 'What the hell Char?' I thought. Why would she kiss him. I had instantly became more jealous when he started to whisper in her ear.

My blood was boiling when she raised her eyebrow and he laughed lightly at her. That should be me! Not her! But anyways, soon she followed her brother into the bedroom across the hall.

"So, Macy," Kevin started, "Why would you leave home for Charlotte?"

"She's my bestfriend. I'd do anything for her."

"Even if it meant putting yourself in danger too?" Chelsea asked with wide eyes.

"Yeah. I guess so," I looked at them.

"That's-"

"Why?" Alex asked curiously.

"I love her. I know that if I were in her situation, she'd do the same for me."

"That's stupid."

"So you're saying that you would let the person you're closest to be in danger and not try to help them?" I asked him.

"Yes."

"What about us?" asked Chelsea.

Alex looked at her lazily, "What about you guys?"

"Aren't we all friends?" she asked.

"Why would you think such a thing?"

"We all have a common hate towards Charlotte so-"

"Correction," Alex held up his finger, "YOU have a hatred towards Charlotte. I don't know about Kevin but I'm intrigued by her."

"I thought you liked me?" Chelsea narrowed her eyes.

"I do."

"Me or Charlotte?"

Alex said "Prefer not to answer" at the same time Kevin said "Charlotte."

Chelsea looked at them and walked over to stand by the door. I thought she was listening in on Charlotte and Jackson's conversation so I walked over towards her.

"What the hell Chelsea?" I whisper-sneered at her.

"What? I'm curious," she looked at me blankly.

"NO CHARLOTTE I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!" we heard Jackson yell all of a sudden.

I looked at Chelsea and we both had our heads on the door. Chelsea pushed me out of the way so she could hog the door and I came up behind her and jumped on her back. She started yelling at me and tried to pull me off of her but then I started to pull her hair. She groaned in pain and smirked in triumph. She was spinning in circles trying to get me off and was failing miserably.

The door opened then and we both stopped and turned to see a stunned Charlotte and a snickering Jackson.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" she bellowed.

I looked around and saw that Alex and Kevin were also fighting and Amber was sitting on the chair in the kitchen on the phone crying. I jumped off of Chelsea and stepped away from her and she kicked me in the back. I turned to her and tackled her to the ground and started punching her repeatedly. I felt hands on my waist pulling me up and turned my head to see Jackson. I looked in front of me and saw Charlotte standing in front of Chelsea, glaring at the both of us.

"Jackson let them go and separate Kevin and Alex," she sighed.

He immediately left to deal with them. Chelsea smirked at me and decided to speak up first.

"Macy started-"

Charlotte gave her a KO punch. Chelsea fell to the floor unmoving. I stood there and looked at her. She turned to me with no expression written across her face. She slowly came towards me and told me to bend my head down.

"Do you know where our phones and luggage are?" she whispered.

"Yeah," I responded looking at Jackson yelling at Alex and Kevin, "Luggage is in the closet and our phones are in the drawer in the room you just came out of."

"How do you know?"

"I saw them put it there when we first came. I was 'supposedly' in the bathroom," I whispered with a smile on my face.

"Good job."

"Why?" I asked quietly glancing at Kevin and Alex looking at us.

"Because we are busting out of here," she whispered.

"What about Amber?"

"She's too sad to notice us."

Before I could reply, she walked over towards Alex, Kevin, and Jackson and sat down in between Kevin and Alex. That left me no choice but to sit on the other side of Alex, next to Jackson.

Amber soon walked out the kitchen to join us.

"Jackson?"

"What Amber?" he didn't even look at her.

"Look at me."

He reluctantly looked at her.

"Are we over or something? Are you mad?"

"You cheated on me with my bestfriend AND he got you pregnant," he snapped, "So yes, I'm mad and yes we are over."

"But,-"

"Shut up Amber," Charlotte groaned, "You cheated on my brother with someone whose pull out game is weak."

Everyone started to laugh, including me! Jackson had a smile on his face and was coughing to cover up his laughter. Amber glared at her and smirked. I instantly became tense because I knew she had a comeback.

"Well at least my supposed crush/boyfriend didn't trick me and hand me over to kidnappers," she sighed, "At least I know who to trust and who not to trust," she smiled sweetly at my bestfriend, "Just face it Charlotte, you trust people to easily."

It was quiet.

...

So quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

.....

This wasn't good.

........

I looked over at Charlotte and saw that she had a blank expression. To anyone else, it would appear as if she didn't care. But seeing as i'm her bestfriend, I know she had just put her mask up.

Yes people, our brave and witty Charlotte has a mask. She puts it up when people hurt her feelings. If you look more closely, you can see all the pain in her eyes.

She got up and excused herself to our room, never looking back once. I looked at Amber who looked confused. I glanced at Kevin, Jackson, and Alex who had their heads down in shame. I looked over at the door Charlotte just went into. I stood up to go comfort her when Amber stopped me.

"It's the truth you know."

"The only thing that's true is that you are a low life whore who likes to put people down. Make them feel like they mean nothing. Well guess what? Charlotte is more than nothing. She means something to everyone in this room," I walked past her and turned back to look at her before I went into the room. "What about you? You mean nothing. You're the one that's pregnant. Not her. You're the one who lied and cheated on someone. Not her. So before you start bashing people, think about yourself."

With that I turned back around and walked into the room before I could hear her response.
