Chapter 6
I don’t know how I let Anna talk me into this but we are now in a car driving on the island to her new house on Plaza Island and we are minutes away from meeting Sam her fiancé. The car turns down a small side road and we pull into a massive white beach house that has every window and door wide open. Outside there is a guy with blonde hair waiting who I’m guessing is Sam and I’m quite surprised by him because Anna normally goes for such bad boys, all throughout junior high she dated asses like Brody who she eventually dumped but she let him away with everything and anything but I’m glad that Anna has found Sam because he has really changed. The car stops and I climb out happy that I can actually move my body now. I am hardly out of the car when Sam hugs me I guess he is excited to finally meet me I am as well but I can’t concentrate on anything right now my stomach is growling it has all throughout the plane ride and Anna could not stop talking about the wedding tomorrow. I can’t even remember what she said.
“Will would you come with me to get something to eat before I starve?” he nods his head and walks to my side and we start of to the little restaurant. The island is beautiful it has a lot of potential for a honeymoon but Anna is going to Australia for her honeymoon.
We find the little chippy and order food and sit and eat it. After we have finished Will goes off to the bathroom leaving me sitting by myself I look around the room the only other people in here are three guys.
The three guys gather round me and start to laugh. At first I don’t mind and then they start talking to me.
“Oh my word it’s the legend herself your father must be so proud” one of the guys in a black t-shirt laughs
“My father is dead” it’s true my father committed suicide after my mother died giving birth to me. The man who I call my dad he’s really my uncle Gerald but I call him dad because he is my father.
“Dude I don’t think she knows” says the guy in the blue jumper. It’s melting outside and he is wearing a jumper he is lucky he doesn’t faint from heat stroke
“What are you talking about?” my father whose name was Henry ran to a bridge and killed himself
“Trust me when I say this sweetheart your father is alive”
Next thing Will comes out and goes absolutely ballistic in the head when he sees the three guys standing around me “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
“No” I find myself shouting at him but it’s too late the three guys are gone. The walk back to the house is silent Will doesn’t acknowledge me or even look at me but strangely I find myself wanting to be held in his muscular arms and tasting the sweetness of his lips
Sam and Will head off down the beach with me and Anna tagging slowly behind. They are carrying on throwing each other into the sand and at one point they try to get the both of us into the water but they don’t succeed instead they end up in the water. We walk together until we reach Sam’s pride and joy as he calls it his speedboat. We are about to board it when
BOOM
The boat explodes into a thousand bright red flames. We run and run down the beach back to the house. Anna falls and Sam scoops her up effortlessly with toned muscles. We reach the house and we are all so exhausted that we just crash on the red and black flowered sofa and in no time at all we fall asleep.
The next morning we all wake up to find that we spent the night on the sofa, even Sam and Anna didn’t go up to bed. The morning is busy I take Anna upstairs and help her with her makeup; she has tons of pinks and reds sitting on her bed. I begin with her face and work my way down to her nails. I let her take a quick glance in the mirror to make sure that she is happy. Then I make a start on her thick brown hair, I twist and weave it to make the perfect bun. After I’m finished Anna shows me my dress for the first time it’s pink with flowers going up the shoulders. Once I’m dressed she shoos me out of the room my guess is because she doesn’t want me to see the dress until it is time. I press my ear to the door and it almost sound like she is crying.
The first image of Anna I see is Will leading her down the aisle in her beautiful white gown. The dress is lovely it’s not like anything I’ve ever seen before but then she always did have a unique fashion sense. Anna reaches the altar and the minister smiles at her oddly and before I know it I have a gun pointed at my head. I wave my hands at them and they run away from the altar
“You idiots you have ruined everything, Why me?” Hunter takes the gun away from my head “You done” he pauses and I know he is telling me to shut up “Good put her in the truck”
Two goons jump out of the hedges. I recognize one of them immediately STAN the one who held the knife to Anna’s throat and Hunter’s most trusted goon. He grabs my arm and I don’t dare fight afraid that he could do something awful ad a result of my actions and I could get someone killed. He puts me in the truck that looks like it’s been used to deliver milk and lemonade as there are tons of empty and full bottles lying everywhere. The truck starts moving and I hear shouting. I peek out through the tiny rip in the side and see Will with a shot gun.
Hunter’s goons start to shoot back and Hunter himself is now beside me with his arms around me.
“Drive faster “There is a chance and I stand up, next thing there is a bump and I hear a loud bang and I fall to the floor landing on some of the bottles. The truck stops and Hunter falls to his knees beside me and a tear falls from his face. He puts his hand on my stomach and then he brings his hand to his eyes, blood, and my blood on his hands. I have been shot and Hunter is running away from me which would be a good thing but in this case it’s not because he is leaving me to bleed to death.
I take a piece of glass out from my side and pull myself up in agony to the benches. I try to move towards the light but I black out. Next thing someone is carrying me in their arms and running I look up and see Will. I grip his arms tightly and he runs even faster, now there is blood dripping on the sand and the drive way.
Will gets me inside and hands me over to Sam he lays me on the table with blood dripping from his hands. I normally would be petrified but I’m not I just want the pain to go away. I scream at whatever Sam is doing and Will takes my hand.
After I have the bullet removed and I’m stitched up I have just one thing on my mind now and that is to find Hunter before he leaves. There is only one way of this island and that’s by boat. So I am going to the boat house.
I sit up and Sam tries to push me back down but I shake him off and get to my feet.
“Give me a gun” Anna grabs my arm before he can hand me the gun.
“Rachel No!” she eyes Sam like he is a monster giving a little girl a big gun. Anna might be older than me but I can do this.
“I have to finish this” I take the gun from him and turn to face Will who has pain in his eyes and something else something that I have never seen in him
I see anger
“I’m coming too “
