On the Count of Y-O-U

Chapter 9: No Exit

Ammy's P.O.V.:-

"Mornings Zach." 

Well, mornings to my morning too. How can I forget last night?, I sigh.

"Hey Ammy, mornings" he sighs looking at the sky and then I hit back to the reality.

"Are you fine? You don't look well", I say looking at his face. His eyes were swollen. Swollen like he hadn't sleep for nights.

"No, I'm fine. It's just...Kayden," he yawns.

"Kayden? Oh ya, he was supposed to...Never mind. Nothing."

I hit myself back again. Gosh! I sweared to Kayden about last night.

"Supposed to what?" he says raising an eyebrow at me.

"To study? I'm just guessing," I clear my throat.

"Hmm...it wasn't about study Ammy, instead he had to come home last night, but he didn't and he hasn't texted me back yet," he says rubbing his chin.

Ha! Finally saved. Zach was a trustworthy guy I knew, and could also get protective as a knight, when it came to attention sharks! And me sneaking with Kayden last night, obviously was no joke. I wouldn't have the guts to tell this to Zach. Zach trusted Kayden, but he still, stood like a protective shield like he was protecting . I don't know why?

He seemed to have slept really late as his eyes were swollen and was speaking to me as if he's gonna doze anytime now. We both kept looking for Kayden in the hallway until Zach found him.

"Hey man," they both high-fived. "Where were you man? You haven't replied to my texts either."

"Something caught up on the way and I couldn't make it pal. You could join us today at Layla's party tonight." I smiled at Kayden and he gave me his signature smirk.

"Any chance I could sneak along too?," Chloe joined in. "Of course!" the boys shouted.

Kate walked down towards us, her phone in her hand as she was texting away. I lifted my head and grinned,"Hey Kate." Kate looked up and waved,"Hey bestfriend." She smiled.

"So you guys coming up for the party tonight? I need someone to pick me up. Mason won't be able to join us,"she said putting her books away, fumbling with her locker. "Sure. We will pick you up," Zach said.

I was the only odd one out there. Kate, Zach, Chloe, Kayden and two others stood there speaking about tonight plans and I stood clueless about it. I had never been to party before but secretly, I did want to go for once.

School ended as usual and I was back to my pavilion, home sweet home. My mom reached home the same time. I ran upstairs to take a shower and as soon I was done, my mom handed me a list, containing grocery items.

I left home, texting Zach that I would be taking another direction that had a supermarket on the way and that I could be late. I bought the items that my mom mentioned on the list and was on my way to the cafe, riding my bicycle. My dad's garage, eventually now known as his 'ex-garage', was located on the same way, few blocks away from the supermart.

My dad's garage was of course a local one, but wasn't situated locally. It was somewhere far way from the main streets, somewhere isolated, surrounded by tall trees.

As I began riding my bicycle towards the garage, I spotted the same gleaming black Rolls Royce with the same chauffer in. That has to be Mr.Grey! I could predict the fact of why he had been there, of course it was because he had bought that place from my dad. I recollected the a question that had struck my mind earlier, the day he had come to my house.
