In A World Of Our Own (Westlife Fan Fiction)

Chapter 44

Ellen awoke in the morning to the smell of fresh tea and toast. Kian came over with a tray and placed it on her lap as she sat up in bed. He climbed back into bed and chewed thoughtfully on a slice of buttered toast. He then proceeded to kiss Ellen and showered. Ellen showered shortly after him, once she had finished her tea. Their flight was leaving that evening, so they had the whole day to sort out the suspiciousness that surrounded Adam’s death. Ellen and Kian decided that they should discuss things with Emma and Olly; they didn’t want to suspect their friends for any longer.

They got a cab down to their house and paid the driver. Then Ellen strutted angrily to the door and knocked on it ruthlessly. Kian just rolled his eyes; there was no stopping her. She heard footsteps and the door creaked open slightly. There was a chain holding the door shut tightly, and Olly’s eyes peered through the crack, and then looked relieved at the sight of Kian and Ellen standing outside. They heard some clicks and the door opened, and Olly practically pulled them inside, and closed the door as quickly as it was opened. He then continued to lock the door and led them through to the living room. Emma was sitting there and she stood up and hugged her best friend, and then Kian.

“What are you guys doing here?”

“We came to say goodbye-” Kian started to speak, but Ellen cut in.

“Why did you lie to the police?”

“What lie?” Emma wasn’t a very good liar.

“That you were at home whilst Adam died, you phoned the ambulance, you told me, so why did you lie?”

“I suppose we will have to tell them Emma” Olly sounded secretive.

“Tell us what” This time Kian managed to finish his sentence.

“We lied to the police because… because-”

“Spit it out Emma!”

“Because we are being blackmailed!”

“By who?”

“The people who killed your brother Ellen”

“You know who did it?”

“We saw them, they didn’t mean for us to be there, lord knows we didn’t either, but we were, and they released the jack and the car fell on top of Adam. Olly had already phoned the ambulance by the time they noticed us. Then they warned us, and have begun to blackmail us”

“Who are they, do you know?” Ellen sounded solemn now.

“Loan sharks, apparently Adam owed them money, and now he’s dead, it’s our turn to pay off his debts”

“Why did they kill him though?”

“Because he missed the deadline I guess, but they are ruthless Ellen, they threatened to kill our baby”

“Then I hope you told them that you are not going down without a fight. We have the rest of the day until our flight leaves, Kian, are you up for a bit of fighting”

“Hell yes, we can’t let them hurt an Ellen, speaking of which, I think you had better stay here sweetheart, I don’t want you to get hurt”

“I will avenge my own brother, anyway, have you seen Olly fight, he couldn’t hurt a fly, I’ve seen him try, didn’t end well for him”

“Hey, given the chance-” Olly tried to defend himself.

“No Olly, just no, now let’s get hunting” Ellen ran out of the door followed by Kian, who warned Emma and Olly to stay low, and not answer the door or phone to anyone.
