Gina’s P.O.V
‘What did you do?’ I asked, rushing into the room and instantly walking over to my sister, Her arm was bandaged up. Why? I tried hard to Avoid Rob as I went and trying harder to avoid eye contact with Brian.
‘Keep him away from me’. She told me. I looked between her and Rob, What had happened? I noticed out the corner of my eye, I saw Brian say something to Rob and they both walked over to the other side of the room and started talking in hushed tones.
While they were gone, I took advantage of the privacy;
‘What happened?’ I asked, she just looked at me.
‘We were talking and then... He was being really nice and.. I don’t know, It’s just that he..He..’ She was being really hesitant to tell me, Why?
‘He what?’
‘He called me beautiful and he was getting really close and I realised what the hell was going and I couldn’t let ANYTHING happen. It's wrong and sick and..’ She trailed off again. So, NOTHING actually happened?
‘So, you freaked because he called you beautiful?’ Was I missing something here? She nodded. ‘And?’
‘And?! He... They kidnapped us! Gina, Get your head out your ass for two seconds and see the f****d up picture!’.
‘Do you like him?’ She just looked at me like I had two heads or something. I couldn’t tell her what had happened in the bathroom just minutes ago, She would get all judge-y. And to be honest, I didn’t even know what the f**k was happening myself.
‘What kind of question is that!?’
‘A simple one..’ She paused, and stole a look at the men standing across the room from us, Still talking to one another. I wonder what about. Brian stopped for a second and they looked back at us. When he saw me staring, He smiled. I just felt myself blush so I looked away, Back to my sister.
‘Don’t be so f*****g stupid! It’s sick to like that!’ She snapped.
‘Guys where are you?’ Someone shouted. I didn’t recognise the voice, but the look on Rob and Brian’s face told me that if whoever it was, found us in here, the result, wouldn’t be good.
Rushing back over to the bed, Brian grabbed my hand and pulled me off the bed;
‘Come on, You two have to hide, If Leroy finds you in here and tells Damon, you’re dead’. That was all the motivation I needed. I leaned over and grabbed Charlotte's wrist, pulling her up and dragged her to the bathroom, Just in time.
As I closed the bathroom door, the bedroom door opened.
Leaning against the door, the both of us listened to what was going on, though it was a miracle that I could hear anything over the sound of my own heartbeat.
‘Hey, Leroy, What’s up?’ I heard one of them ask.
‘I’m heading out for the evening, Do either of you want to come to the bar?’ There was some quiet mumbling, but I couldn’t quite make out what was being said.
‘Do you like him?’ Charlotte questioned. I just looked at her. Not sure what to say, but before I could say anything, The door opened again, saving me from the awkward conversation with my sister.
Brian poked his head around the door;
‘Coast is clear’. He told us, giving me a smile before closing the door again.
‘Come on’. I walked out of the bathroom to see Brian and Matt sat on the bed, Looking at us. It made me freeze slightly. I didn’t want to see to confident, in case this was just a game still, and they were playing with us.
Wearly standing next to me, Charlotte whispered something in my ear.
‘You didn’t answer my question’. I know I didn’t.
‘What do you think?’ I snapped, getting defensive, Probably giving her an answer in itself.
‘I think you do… Am I wrong?’ I just sighed and looked at her. She wasn’t going to let it drop.
‘Nope. You’re 100% correct. Happy’. I stated matter-of-factly and walked away. Brian stood up.
‘You’ll have to stay in my room tonight, Charlotte will have to stay in here. It’s the only way Rob and I can make you’re both safe’. He told us. I just nodded, Glad that I wouldn’t have to deal with my sister tonight. I just turned to look at her quickily to say goodnight and left before she could moan any further.
I knew she wasn’t comfortable or happy and was more on edge than I was, but she was always the sassy one who worried when things got too real. Confusing, I know.
I just hoped she would calm down by tomorrow. I’m not stupid, I know her, and I knew she at least found that other guy attractive. She didn’t have to like him to think he was hot.
Opening the door, Brian stepped out to make sure it was safe and as soon as he said it was, He grabbed my hand and pulled me quickily down the hall and into his bedroom. Once we were inside, He closed the door and locked it.
I think he must have seen the worry on my face and tried to explain himself.
‘Don’t worry it's just extra measurements to make sure no one comes in. If it makes you more comfortable, I can leave it unlocked?’ I thought about it for a moment, before I shook my head.
‘No, I guess I’m safer with it locked than unlocked with those other people running around’. I admitted. He just nodded.
‘Whatever makes you comfortable’. I smiled sadly and wrapped my arms around myself as I turned and walked deeper into the bedroom.
Only a few hours before I was laying on that bed, being hurt by the very man that was trying to keep me safe now. I shook my head, trying not to think about it too much.
‘You can sleep on my bed, I’ll sleep over there’. He told me, pointing to the sofa in the corner of the room. I just nodded.
~~~~~~~~
It had been a very eventful night, and I was just so tired. Laying down in the bed, I closed my eyes, But even under the covers, I was still freezing. I sat back up again and looked over to see Brian on the sofa, exactly where he said he would be.
He was still awake, but he was staring off into space.
‘Brian?’ I asked, quietly, He shot up instantly and looked at me. His quick movement, making me jump.
‘Yeah? What’s wrong?’ Maybe asking him to sleep on the bed with me was asking too much... Or pushing it a little.. Or just plain f*****g stupid… but, we had almost kissed this evening so, maybe... It wasn’t.
‘Um, I’m really cold, can you maybe, Sleep here... With me?’ I asked, nervously. He just smiled and got up, walking over to me on the bed and laid down.
At first, I was scared to move. He was close. I could feel the heat of his body on mine and his breath on the back of my neck. I was even too afraid to speak for a good half an hour or so. I didn’t know if he was asleep or not.
Deciding he probably was, I shuffled back slightly, but when he moved and draped an arm over my waist, it was obvious he wasn’t, but I was finally warm, I found it hard to care and soon, I fell asleep...
----------The Next Morning-----------
I woke up, the sun had only just started to rise, and I was still so tired, but suddenly remember where I was, I shot up and looked over. Brian was still fast asleep.
It wasn’t a dream.
Or a nightmare.
Fuck!
I looked over at the door, Remembering it was locked, but only from the inside. I could easily get up and get out of this room... There was no guarantee that I would be able to get Charlotte and get out of this house... But I had a very good chance and a very good opportunity to try.. But I had to do it now!
