Never Let Go - (Book 2 of NBTSA)

Chapter 1 - Never Let Go

Here is Chappie One =) I only did a rush job of checking for spelling mistakes but will go over it again when I get some free time.

Oh and on a lighter note – some of your little theories about Baden and Leila crack me up so much! But no I'm not giving anything away except that I have had the ending for NBTSA planned for awhile as well as the sequel, so whatever happens is because I have already pre-planned it and not because everyone wants it – good or bad, I'm not saying. =)

Now, hope you all enjoy!     xo

~ ~ Chapter One ~ ~

Trailing my fingers along the crisp white wall while I walked up the stairs slowly, I couldn’t help but feel so lonely in this giant house. Phil and Dougy left to go to the city and stock up on food and other essentials – in normal words they mean guns and weapons. Which I'm not sure if I like the idea of guns being in this house, this place was meant to be our little sanctuary not a storage place but I didn’t argue with them.

When they get back we will be leaving again to go visit Craig. I didn’t want to go see him since I don’t know who he was but Dougy told me that Leila got along with him but he also told me that Craig was meant to keep Leila away from the warehouse that night and obviously he didn’t but there is no point playing the blame game now.

Stopping outside the closed bedroom door as I took a deep slow breathe, this would have been their room. No one has come in here since I helped Jeff put everyone’s bags away in their designated rooms. Reaching out and taking the golden door handle into my hand, and twisting the knob slowly as I pushed gently, the door swung open when I let go.

The place was already furnished and there on the bed sat their bags side by side, untouched. My eyes lingered on them for a few minutes before I looked around the room and sighed softly while a single tear rolled down my cheek before I took a step forward, grabbed the door handle and shut the door again with me on the outside.

Turning around I quickly walked away to my room and walked in, shutting the door behind me and leaning on it, “I just want everyone back.” I whispered while I closed my eyes and calmed myself down again.

Sitting on the soft carpeted floor I rummaged through my bags, spilling all my clothing out and all around me. I had nothing to wear, well I did but nothing I wanted to wear. I wanted to put on this cute little yellow ruffled skirt with a tight black t-shirt but I didn’t know. Seeing as I had nothing else, I grabbed the skirt and top and walked off to shower before changing.

Blow drying my hair as I stared blankly at my reflection as I went over our new objective in my mind – to break Jeff out. Obviously I'm not capable of actually doing anything but I can help by coming up with a plan and what needs to be done for it to work. I could also be the getaway driver but first we needed a plan.

Neil popped into my head right away, so I quickly sat the hairdryer down and rushed out to my room and to my bag which had my phone tucked into the side pocket and pulled it out. My fingers were shaking slightly with excitement as I scrolled through my contacts until I came across his number and dialled it.

Five rings later and he picked up, “Ambo? How are you?” he asked immediately, making me smile at how sweet he can be.

“Good as I can be, listen, I called for a reason. I need to ask you something big.” And I waited for him to reply which didn’t take long.
