If Only

Chapter Nine: SOS

Hey!! Back again with another chapter, well i mean of corse it is Friday! Anyway I hope everyone is well and hope you all enjoy this chapter.

"Hello?" After about three or four rings there was an answer. I don't know what to say.

"Hello? Bailey?" He repeats.

"I-I c-cant breath" I start to hyperventilate, tears are streaming down from my eyes and I'm starting to get dizzy.

"Bailey, what's wrong? What's happening?"

"I c-can't b-b-breath" I repeat.

"Do you need me to call Leo?"

"N-no, please no." I plead, he can't call him.

"Ok, ok, I'm going to come to pick you up, are you at school?"

I nod into the phone and realises that he can't see me so I try my best to indicate that I am. "Mhm." I muffle into the phone.

"I'm coming right now, stay where you are." With that, he hung up and I collapsed, my knees hit the pavement and the uncontrollable hysterics take over even more.

I don't know how long I've been kneeling there, to me it felt like a lifetime. I feel a hand touch my shoulder and almost instantly I cower away.

"Isla? Are you ok?" A male voice asks, it's Oli.

I've calmed down by the time that he got here but I still feel really light headed and like i was going to pass out.

"Isla, you've got to tell me what happened." He urges me to tell him. My right hand instantly goes to where Leo had been choking me just before. Oli looks at where I'm touching and his facial expression changes.

"Who did that to you?!" His voice gets aggressive. "Tell me!"

"Leo," I whisper. Rage took over his facial expressions. He instantly grabs out his phone and starts to call someone. When that person answers, well I presume they did, he aggressively talks to them.

"There's a problem." he says and continues, "Leo didn't follow orders, I apologise and hope that this doesn't ruin the payment that I owe you."

Wait, what? What orders? Payment?

"Ok, I will do that," Oli says into the phone and hangs up.

"Come on let's go." He tells me. We both get into his car.

He started to drive off, "where do you want to go?" Oli questions.

"Anywhere but here." I stay quiet for the rest of the car trip not caring where we are going.

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

"We're here." He announces after about half an hour. I wipe my eyes, somehow I am still crying, I was quietly sobbing not wanting to embarrass myself which I probably have already done.

We both get out of the car and I look around to see that we are on a road but on the side and there is a beautiful view over the railing that is there.

"Follow me," Oli instructs and I follow. He leads me over the edge and down some sort of path that leads to a huge tree with very thick branches that go over the edge off the cliffs. Oli climbs the tree and sits on a high branch that is the thickest of all and definitely looks safe.

"This place is amazing!" I tell him in awe.

"I know, this is my place." We both go silent. "Do you want to tell me what happened?" he asks after a while.

"Um well, I broke up with Leo because of what happened at the club."

"What happened at the club?"
