Broken (completed)

-Chapter Seven-

30 minutes goes by I put Talon's hoody that still smells like cinnamon and apples, and I look around. Josh and Cameron still haven't returned, Matty seems to occupied to realise as he has a girl sitting in his lap. Jeremy is on his phone, not even paying attention to his surroundings. I stand and head towards the house. Searching for Josh. I look in the kitchen and see two girls, "have you seen Josh Beale?" they snicker and walk past me.

I walk into the lounge room and see no Josh. 'where is he?'. I've searched the whole lower house and start making my way upstairs. I see someone one coming out of what seems like a bathroom "have you seen Josh?", they look at me and widen their eyes. "ohh... umm....try that room" she points over to a door. "I seen him go in there about 20 minutes ago", "ohh.. ok thanks" she walks past as I start walking towards the door.

My palms start sweating. I can feel my anxiety start to build up. I wipe my hands down the hoody and slowly start to open the door. I peer inside not expecting what I'm seeing. Josh is in bed with Cameron.

Rushing to the toilet, emptying my stomach in the toilet. Tears start to fill my eyes. I hug my knees crying not being able to stop. I don't know how long im there for but a knock brings me back to reality. I stand shakily and open the door Jeremy is standing there "Maddi are you ok.....", "I'm fine I've just too much to drink and was sick, I'm going to head home..." I push past him and run down the stairs tripping on the last two steps "whoa, where's the fire" some guy says as he catches me before a fall on my ass. "Sorry, thanks" . I steady myself and walk out of the house then start running.

I ran from that house crying the tears just wouldn't stop after I get a couple of blocks away I grab my phone scrolling through my contacts. I couldn't bring myself interrupt Kirsten's night, Bes is out of town. So I call the only other person I could.

"Castrations are us. You flop them, we chop them, this is Noah speaking how may I help you" his drunk. "Oh it doesn't matter bye" "wait Maddi.. wait are you ok?.....what's wrong?" I sniffle "it doesn't matter, sorry I called", "Maddi are you crying?, where are you? I'm coming to get you" "no Noah I'm, I'm f...fine" I say sobbing "Maddi, where are you?" a different voice asks.

"T.... Talon, what the hell man" I hear Noah's voice in the distance. "Get in the car hurry up.." Talon growls as my sobs get harder "Maddi please baby, where are you? Can you share your location with me?" I nod, knowing he can't see me. I look down at my phone, everything is blurry but I managed to send my location. "Ok we got you" I hear the engine start and tires screech "Maddi are you still there? Maddi?", "I'm here Talon" I whisper. I see a car pull up, I hear doors slamming shut and two big figures race over too me. One of them scoops me up. Cinnamon and apples engulfs even more of my senses. Talon.

I sob hard into his arms. As he puts me in to the back seat "Noah, you got her man". "Yeh I've got her just drive" I get pulled to the side to lean on Noah as he strokes my hair pulling me close "shhh.... it's ok, it will be ok" he kisses my forehead, then darkness.....

I wake up in my bedroom. 'How did I get here'. I think back to last night and remember what happened. The pain in my chest starts and I can't help but let the tears flow again. "Maddi..."footsteps follow a deep voice as I'm pulled into a hug, instantly calming down. "I got you.... You're ok.... I got you" the door opens and I see Noah walking in with a glass of water. "here....drink this and take these" he says handing me some Advil and the glass.

Noah sits down on the bed as I lean back into Talon who continues and stroke my hair. "Maddi... can... can you tell us what happened?" Talon asks gently. "He...he...he" I break down crying even more. I don't think I can stop. "Please, make it stop hurting" I sob throwing my arms around Talon. Kirsten barges into my room "Maddi.... What's going on?" she pushes Noah aside sits next to me, I turn and fling myself at her crying even harder if it was possible. "what the hell happened?" she glares at Talon.
