Hey guys,
Enjoy.
Chapter 17
Thirty minutes later several police cars were outside my summer house. Patch was talking to some police men in their van while I sat on the chair outside.
You could have stopped all this from happening. I heard a voice say. Tony. It had to be. I look around at the crowd of people on the other side of the police tape. Tony stood right at the end with a smile on his face. Come with me now or there will be more. A lot more. Alice’s corpse came out in a body bag, I stared at it for a moment and then turned to face Tony. I nodded and walked towards him.
“Just come with me” Tony said, his voice was quiet and desperate. He held out his hand and I took it. Tony pulled me to his car and strapped me in. I clenched my knuckles in fear. “Don’t be frightened, I won’t hurt you. I won’t let anyone or anything ever hurt you again” I believed him and my mind drifted from patch, focusing on Tony. “I love you” I didn’t say anything back. “I know it will take time, but you will come around”
“What about patch?” I asked, my lip trembled.
“He’ll understand that you have moved on to someone better” Someone better? I don’t want tony but I’d do anything if it meant saving a few lives, including my own.
“Won’t he come looking for me?” Say yes. Say I’m sorry this won’t work. Say you don’t love me.
“He might try, but after a while he will stop and then you can be with me forever” Anger bubbled up inside me.
“But I want patch” I hissed.
“You mean you want me. You’ve always wanted me. Patch was the guy who has just killed your best friend” What? It was like my bubble of anger had popped.
“But I was with him all night” Right?
“You were with me all night” What? I was with Tony? No I wasn’t I was with patch.
“Don’t try and trick me because I know I was with patch and I know you did this. So just take me and do whatever you have to do” I hissed. The anger was back and surging though my veins.
“You’re smarter than you look” Tony smiled.
“I’m glad”
“Come on Cassandra. You can have me. I’m giving myself to you” No. I don’t want you.
“I don’t want you”
“I get it you want patch but that guy hates you” Tony said.
“He loves me” I argued.
“If he loved you he would have killed to get you. Just like I have. I did this all for you” I needed to get out of here, this guy was a psycho a complete psycho.
“You’re a psychopath” I pulled on the door handle but it was locked. “Let me out”
“On one condition” I’ll do anything.
“What’s that?” What does he want?
“Kiss me” Except that.
“No” I hissed.
“Then I’m afraid my dear you’re going to be here a very long time” I unbuckled my seat belt, grabbed a large metal object off the floor and smashed the window. My hands bled. Tony grabbed my waist, I was helpless. “Just kiss me” he licked his lips and tipped my head back. “I know you love me, just kiss me” he ran his lips down my cheek as I struggled. I punched him before jumping out. “Cassandra I’ll be back for that kissing” That was when he drove off. I walked back to the house, everyone was looking for me.
“Cassandra!” Patch shouted “Where have you been?” Think of an excuse. Don’t tell him that maniac tried to kiss you.
“I… I needed a break from this. All of this I’m sorry” I lied.
“It’s alright as long as you are safe” Patch saw my bleeding hands. “What happened?”
“I…” Ughhh no excuse.
“Oh my god. You went with him?” Patch was angry.
“I’m sorry. He made me; it was like I couldn’t control-”
“He tried to kiss you? So you smashed the window?” Patch asked; eyebrows raised but still mad.
“Yeah” I whispered, while looking down at the ground.
“Well done” What? Did he just-?
“Wait… what?” Back up please, did we just have the same conversation?
“You got away” And?
“Yeah” Clarify please.
“You came back to me” Oh.
“I would always come back to you” I said. Patch kissed me.
“Thank you” He whispered in my ear.
“For what?” Didn’t he understand that I loved him more than anything? I loved him more than my own family, more than my own life.
“You came back. Thank you” Again oh.
“You’re welcome. I love you” I smiled out the words.
“I love you too. I’m sorry about your friend. But I guess this means you will be staying at my house for the next few days” Patch’s eyes pleaded.
“Oh no”
“What’s wrong?” Patch looked hurt.
“Jacob and Alexander. They are like the giggle twins” He smiled
“You’ll laugh when you know why” Patch said.
“Why?” I asked
“They are jealous that I have you” He was right, I did laugh.
“Oh my gosh. I’m not god’s gift to men. That makes four of you now” Patch burst out laughing really loudly and all the police just stared at him. They gestured for us to go. That’s when I remembered Alice. I sighed and tears stung my eyes. Patch put his arm around me.
“Let’s go and see what they want us to do” We walked back…
