The devil all the time// a short Matthew Gray gubler fanfic

I heard the door bang shut making me shot up, I looked around remembering that I'm not in my own room back at home, so everything that happened last night wasn't a horrible dream, great. I sighed and put my head in my hands, the day hasn't even started and I already want to die. I got off my bed and walked to the door slowly opening it and peeking my head out it was quiet so maybe Matthew had left, I walked out the room shutting the door behind me and walking to the balcony that looked over the whole downstairs area "hello, is anyone in? Matthew?" I raised my voice slightly so if he was in he could hear me, but thankfully he wasn't so I walked downstairs and seen a bit of paper on the bar, I picked it up and looked at it, it read "clean the whole house DONT go into any of the rooms upstairs unless it's your room or the bathroom, make dinner for me coming home, I will back at 6 o'clock" I sighed and put the note back on the counter, I looked at the clock above the door and it was only 8AM, it's not gonna take me that long to clean it's a big appointment but not that big and maybe if I have time to spare I can work on the songs. It's a few minutes later and I was dusting, I'm bored out of my mind and I still have the whole of upstairs to do to and the kitchen, I heard a knock on the door making me stop what I was doing, should I open it? What if it's bad guys? Matthew would of told me not to open the door though if there was bad guys, right? I sucked it up and walked to the door slowly, there wasn't even a hole I could look through to see who it is, I swallowed and put my hand on the cold metal turning it so the door was now open, I looked up to see two pretty girls with smiles on their faces and about ten bags from shopping places (the girls are maya Henry and Eleanor Calder) "hey, we were told to give you these" the girl with the black hair said I looked at her confused I didn't know what was happening so I never took the bags "oh, Matthew said to get you some clothes, sorry I forgot to mention that" she chuckled holding the bags out that were in her hands "oh, right, sorry yeah, thanks" I nodded with a small smile grabbing the 5000 bags the two girls had and putting them next to the door "bye" they both said waving at me, I waved back and was about to shut the door but stopped, maybe I should invite them in they seem really nice and I could use some company right now, so I opened the door again to see the two girls "hey, um, would you guys wanna come in? There's to many clothes to try on for one person" I shrugged hoping they would say yes, they looked at each other and chuckled "yeah, of course, I'm Eleanor but you can call me el and this is maya, it's nice to meet you" el said walking over to me with a smile holding out her hand for me to shake "nice to meet you, Darlene, but you guys can just call me cherry" I nodded shaking both their hands "cherry" maya said looking at Eleanor "I like it" she said with a nod making me chuckle, we walked into the apartment and grabbed some bags taking them upstairs "so, cherry, how did you end up here?" Eleanor asked walking into my room and sitting on my bed with maya next to her "I, um" I stuttered not knowing what to say, I don't know who these girls were and I don't know why their here either so I don't know how much I'm meant to say, were they friends with Matthew? was one of them his girlfriend? "It's okay, we know matthew, we know about the whole gang thing, we're engaged to his two best friends" maya said making a whole bunch of weight lift from me "ugh thank god, I thought I'd have to come up with a lie" I chuckled sitting down on the floor in front of them making them laugh "he kidnapped me and brought me here yesterday, he's making me his assistant" I said looking up at the two girls who had shocked faces "I'm sorry to hear that" Eleanor said with a sympathetic smile "it's okay, I've only been here like half a day but I miss my house my best friend and my parents, they must be worried sick, they actually probably think I'm dead" I looked down blinking away the tears trying to escape my eyes "so, were you guys kidnapped to?" I asked Clearing my throat standing up walking to the walk in closet that was in my room making them fallow "uh no, we met our boys at a club a few years back, a few months went by and they took us up here to their appointments and we were confused as to why they lived in a huge old abandoned business place but then they told us that they were in a gang, we stuck around because we loved them but if we didn't, we would probably be dead" Eleanor nodded sitting on the floor in front of me with maya "dead? Why?" I asked looking at them "because their the gang that everyone was scared of and all the police are searching for them and have been for years, still are, they couldn't have people out there knowing their faces, so for us not to say anything they would of had to kill us" maya said making me raise my eyebrows "wow, that's crazy" I said making them nod "we wouldn't of walked away, we loved them to much" maya smiled making me do the same "how did you guys move here? Do your parents know your with a guy from a gang?" I asked tilting my head "of course not, I haven't seen my parents in a while, I still get to see them but not as much as I used to, I had to say I met a guy when I was on a year long holiday and he was the love of my life so I moved away with him" she said with a smile, she genuinely seemed happy with the guy she was with, but I can't help but wonder why they never got kidnapped but I did, was this normal to do around here I mean I wouldn't be surprised "that's sweet, have your parents met him yet?" I asked "yeah" she nodded I raised my eyebrows in amusement at the fact that these people are basically living two different life's, they act normal to their families and to the people on the outside world but then they come here and their animals and they kill people "did you do the same?" I asked Eleanor "yeah, but my parent aren't around anymore neither are Louis so we don't really get out of here a lot, we try to stay here as much as we can to keep a low profile" el said making me nod my head "so, tell us more about yourself cherry" maya smiled I nodded my head and told them some stuff about me and they told me some stuff about them, they are both 29, maya is engaged to Matthew's best friend liam and Eleanor is Engaged to Matthew's other best friend Louis and all four of them stay just next door to us which is cool because I'll probably get to see them more.
(Hours later)
We were laughing on the floor in a pool of clothes until we heard the door slam shut making us stop laughing "Darlene!" I heard Matthew say making my heart drop "shit" I said to them I stood up and ran out the door, I can't believe I lost track of time and didn't clean the house or make dinner like I was meant to, I'm going to get murdered, Maya and el followed behind me, I walked to the balcony looking over to see Matthew looking around holding onto the couch he looked up at me and I could see he looked a bit angry "why is dinner not made and why is the house not clean?" He asked angrily making me shake slightly with fear, Maya and Eleanor walked beside me catching Matthew off guard and if anything making him more angry "I'm sorry we lost track of time I-" I tried to say but he cut me off "Eleanor, maya, it's nice to see you two again but I need to talk to Darlene alone please" he said looking down clutching the couch tighter, they both looked at me with a look, I could tell they didn't want to leave but they had to, I nodded to them to go so they walked downstairs and walked past Matthew eyeing him till they got to the door, they didn't seem to be scared of him which shocked me, Matthew was very scary and intimidating, maybe they weren't scared of him because their engaged to his best friends and they know he won't hurt them but I would still be scared of him "get down here" Matthew said looking up at me, I hesitated and thought about running back to my room and locking the door but that was only going to end badly "I said get down here!" He yelled making me jump at his loud voice, I walked downstairs slowly as he eyed me all the way, I stood by the couch waiting for him to talk again "sit down" he said almost as a whisper but loud enough for me to hear, I sat down playing with my fingers on my lap, I was now changed into a cute silky pink pj top and shorts set that had black lace around it to, maya and Eleanor got it for me, the clothes they picked out were really nice but weren't really my thing now, if I was 18 and still in my party slutty stage then I would of died at the sight of all the see through mesh tops and short shorts, I don't mind it still but it's not really something I would pick out for myself but I guess I need to wear them cause it's the only clothes I have, there is some normal clothes to which is good but most of it is clubbing clothes.
"You had two jobs and you didn't do them" he said crossing his arms over his chest and walking over to me standing in front of me "I know and I said Im-" I began but he cut me off "yeah you said that already, your not here to make friends and have the time of your life, your here because you work for me and your my assistant, your meant to clean and make dinner, not sit and sip cocktails with your girlfriends" he raised his voice "I didn't ask to be here!" I yalled looking up at him "if you really want your house to be all nice and clean do it your fucking self" I yelled standing up from the couch pushing him out the slightly with my shoulder, next thing I know i was dragged backwards by my wrist and thrown on the couch making me let out a slight cry because he had twisted my arm in the process, he grabbed my face and went on top of me, one of his legs on the inside of mine and the other at the side of me "you need to watch that pretty little mouth of yours before it gets blown off" he snarled grabbing my face tighter "get the fuck off of me you psycho!" I shouted as I kicked him off of me and pushed him back, I ran past him heading to the stairs but he grabbed my arm making me stumble and fall done the four steps I was standing on previously, I turned around with my back on the steps as I watched him reach for me again and my ankles then dragged me down the stairs as I kicked and screamed "let go of me!" I screamed and cried but he didn't, I seen the gun he always has on his belt so I grabbed it and pointed it at his head "let me fucking go!" I yelled he looked at me and let go of my ankles, I crawled back and stood up still pointing the gun at him, I feel like I'm going to collapse my legs are like jelly right now "you won't shoot me" he shook his head slightly folding his hands in front of him "wanna find out and see?" I asked pulling the hammer back on the gun, all I have to do is pull the trigger "give me the gun" he said a little bit more eager, he didn't seem to be scared that he had a gun pointed to his head he just seemed a bit angry "come on darling, give me the gun" he said softly taking a step towards me, I looked at him through my teary eyes as I still had the gun to his head, come on Darlene, kill him, all you have to do is pull the trigger then it's done, your free. I was taken out of my thoughts when Matthew grabbed my wrist and twisted it behind me so I dropped it, I let out a cry as he did so "don't you ever do that again" he said in my ear through gritted teeth then threw me to the floor, I wiped away my tears as I watched him pick up the gun and unload it then walk away into the kitchen, why did I not pull the fucking trigger, I wanted to so bad but I couldn't, something was telling me to put a bullet right in his head but something else was telling me to stop being so stupid and put the gun down, I will never understand my subconscious.
