chapter Eight

I threw my arm over my eyes as light filled the room. I rolled over and groaned God! I hated mornings! Finally aware that there’s a weight pinning me down or should I say an arm. I froze for a second realising that someone was cuddling up to me.

“Rise and shine people!  Come on breakfast is ready pancakes...erm...your favourite?” said Reece sounding unsure of his last statement.

“No it’s not” I mumbled into the pillow “go away I’m trying to sleep”

“We are” groaned Matt from beside me. I blushed lightly as I felt his breath tickle my bare neck his arm that was around my waist tightened as he pulled me closer not that I minded his.

“I know you’re blushing” he stated his voice filled with sleep. How could he tell? What the hell? I blushed even more and wriggled a little in his arms. “N-no I’m not!” I protested weakly.

“I would pull the blanket off you guys but I would really rather not see whatever the hell is going on down there. And Jonathan will probably come and chop your heads off if you don’t come down in like 2 minutes” Reece said.

I sighed in slight annoyance as I wriggled out of Matt’s warm arms. “We’re coming” I huffed. I got up and did the morning routine before walking back in my room but feeling more refreshed after my hot shower. My feet padded against my fluffy carpet. “Get up Matt I’m out”

“Alright I’ll be down in a minute” his voice muffled against the pillow. I nodded before I made my way down to the kitchen. The smell of pancake filled my nose. Mmm it smells good. I took a seat down beside mark on the stool before grabbing a peice of pancake from the plate in front of me. “Mmmm....this is so god Jonathan! You’re a good cook” I complemented as I stuffed my face with another chunk after I sprayed a bit of sugar and lemon on the yummy pancakes.

“Not like some people” Mark remarked from beside me. I turned to glare at him “what are you saying? That I’m not a good cook?”

“Of course not! I mean you’re a great cook. I was talking about Daren.” Exclaimed Mark just as Daren walked in looking half asleep.

“Right...” I replied not quite sure whether to believe him or not. Matt came down minutes later looking even worse than Daren.  

We all sat and ate in silence for a minute before Daren interrupted the silence. “So we’ve got an update about Gavin’s location.” I stiffened in my seat at the mention of Gavin’s name. Daren’s eyes flickered over to me for a second before he settled his eyes on matt. “Apparently he’s up north closer than we thought he was. He knows more than we thought he does and that is a problem it means we’ve got less time.”

“So what do we do?” asked Mark looking serious. “We throw him off. We’ve got to buy time.” answered Matt.

“What do you mean?” Jonathan asked looking confused.

“So he knows we are down here well we make him think we are up there.” Smirked Matt “we’ll do it his way we’ll lead him on the get him from behind” he leaned back looking satisfied.

“Wait I’ve got a question how did he know where I was?” I asked relaxing slightly as I felt Matt take hold of my hand under the table.

Reece cleared his throat “we just do” he replied in a hurried voice. Knitting my eyebrows in confusion “What the hell are you hiding from me guys?” something was seriously off here. Something was not right I could tell from the way they all looked at each other as if they were a having an inner discussion.

“Daren? Tell me what the hell is going on!” I exclaimed annoyed. “Reece?” I turned to look at him my eyes pleading. They both looked down and busied themselves with their now empty plates. “Matt?” my voice low I was literally begging him for an answer.

“He has been leaving pictures around” he murmured in a low voice he was looking anywhere but me.

“What kind of pictures?” I asked though I kind of knew the answer to that question.

“Some are old some are quite recent” dread filled my veins. I shook my head as fear cursed through my veins.

“How recent?” I whispered before pursing my lips tightly. “very.” He replied. I took in a sharp breath. This couldn’t be happening this was too soon. A million questions filled my brain. How did he get them? I looked around suddenly feeling really sick could it be one of them? I felt my breakfast coming up but I swallowed quickly. Who is it? Jonathan, mark, Daren, Reece or even Matt.. it could be any of them. I swallowed hard and looked down at my plate I couldn’t even look at them anymore..... I didn’t know who trust anymore I removed my hand from Matt’s and clutched my stool. Maybe it’s not them though...it could be anyone else someone who’s got access to this house and the gang and they know me. So that would leave the whole gang which is formed of like 40 people! That doesn’t help at all.

I sighed in frustration and raked my shaking hand through my still damp hair. I took in all their faces my eyes roaming there features it couldn’t be one of them! they’re my friends they wouldn’t do this to me. Reece me and him we are close he would never do something like that he’s too kind hearted or Jonathan he’s to innocent for his own good! Daren? No not him! It wouldn’t be mark all he wanted to do was get in my pants he might be a player but he cared so I thought or I swallowed a lump in my throat as I thought about him Matt? He wouldn’t he couldn’t. I excused myself and left to my room even though I really didn’t want to alone not after what I heard. He was watching me 24/7 that thought alone is unnerving I settled on the edge of my unmade bed and leaned my head on my hand. When is this ever going to be over? I just want a normal life where my biggest worry is what to wear to my date tonight.

 I jumped slightly as I felt the bed dip as someone sat down beside me. “I knocked... but you didn’t answer so I just walked in.” He explained as he broke the silence. I nodded. “Look Roxanna are you okay?” I shook my head in anger at his stupid question “I’m not okay! This is all so screwed up! I don’t know who to trust anymore! I hate this! Why can’t I just have a normal fricking life?” I screamed. I stared at Reece’s stunned face finally realising what the hell I just did. I winced “I’m so sorry Reece I didn’t mean to take it out on you! It’s just that it’s so hard and frustrating” he cleared his throat getting over his shock “ no it’s okay I understand I just want to say that if you want anyone to talk to I’m here alright?” he got up and I nodded grateful for his offer “yeah thanks..um I’m sorry again for taking it out on you” I bite my lip guiltily. He smiled at me and walked out leaving me once again to think.
