Must Hate Him

CHAPTER IX

+Must hate him+

Chapter 9.

Was I dreaming?, because this didn't feel real or perhaps it was. I was trying not to wake myself up to the reality that Scott was a killer. My spare phone buzzed in my jacket's pocket and I jumped in surprise. Checking my phone, I couldn't help but cringe at the name that was being displayed on the screen.

Why was he calling me?, was I his next target now?. I can't really fathom what made me press the receive button. I guess I needed an explanation from him directly or maybe the other part of me which still had concern for him despite what I'd just seen pushed me to.

"Now I know the reason to your cold behaviour, how could you Scott, how could ....",the tears that had just forced it's way out got me mute, crying wasn't the best option now it just made me feel helpless and weak and it could make him easily manoeuvre his way around me.

" I'm not afraid of you, well i used to be but not anymore. If you want to kill me also, go ahead you son of a...."

"Jane", he said,voice sounding like that of an angel and someone that had been crying. The Scott I knew was someone who was so arrogant and cold,so why was he putting on a false facade now.

" Oh!, so you're crying now right. Do you think whatever useless feelings I had for you in the past will make me come running to you just because you're shedding crocodile tears , it can't get me so maybe you should try harder."

"Jane, you will have ample time to abuse me later but for know I need to know where you are."

I laughed briefly for a moment before replying him back "You want to know where I am right, well I thought a predator doesn't have to ask his prey his whereabouts, your style is kind of weird though."

"Jane, you don't need to judge me until I have told you the whole part of the story, I'm sorry for whatever I made you go through , I truly am but for now I need to know where you are." Weird, he was saying sorry, the word I'd never heard from him until now, maybe I was the one acting to fast, there was no evidence that he'd killed the man but still I couldn't let my guard down.

"Wow, I never knew the word sorry could ever come out of an arrogant person like you", why I was still dragging matters with him, I can't say but it was better than allowing my other caring part to overwhelm me.

" Just shut up and listen, where the hell are you? I know you are not at school and neither are you at home, so where the freaking hell are you?" he replied shouting, anger evidence in his voice.

"Wonderful, now you're back to your normal self.Could you please stop using curse words, and how the hell did you know I'm  not at home?."

"Now you're the one using curse words, I'm at your home, no traces of you so where are you?"

My whole body froze immediately, and it felt like there was no more oxygen to breathe in again, my whole body was pleading in a kind of way to take in more oxygen but I just stood rooted trying to force myself breathe.

And the inevitable thing happened, another blackout.

SCOTT'S POV

"Jane, hello, are you there?", I screamed into the phone terribly scared of the sudden silence. If she'd just told me were she was. A part of me knew she was horror truck but she was just trying to put up a false front , trying to act like the strong girl she was and would ever be to me.

I swore to myself that I would use my whole life to protect her from the villainous group I had exposed her to. I hope she was safe anywhere she was.
