Love Hurts

Chapter 20

I jump up off the floor and answer the phone. All I can hear through the phone is sobbing and mumbled words that I can't make out.

"Sorry. I am so sorry, Sam. I don't mean to hurt anyone, especially you!" Paige screams through the phone.

I try to ask her what she means but it's too late. She's already hung up. Feeling very worried, I run downstairs, ruining the silence.

Everyone stares at my red eyes, messy hair and oh. My arms. Everyone's jaw dropped. Connor runs over to me.

"What are you doing? You know you're not wearing a top. Right?" He whispers into my ear.

"I don't care anymore. I have bigger worries and problems at the moment." I respond as I shove him to the side and continue walking.

I walk up to Kian and stop directly in front of him.

"Where is she?" I ask Kian politely.

Kian stares at me confused. I clear my throat.

"I said, WHERE IS SHE!" I demand.

A small whimper escaped from his throat. He starts to bite his lip and tears form in his eyes.

I watch him as he starts to cry a little.

"I don't know." He manages to choke out.

I grab my phone and start to find her number, when a hand grabs my wrist and makes me flinch in pain. It's Connor.

"I need to tell you about something that happened when I was still with Paige earlier." His tone is serious.

I nod my head and follow him up the stairs and into my room. He closes the door behind me and takes a deep breath in.

Ricky POV

When I see Sam and Connor go up the stairs, I call a meeting between the others that were still downstairs.

In our 'meeting' we discuss the cuts on Sam's arm and we wonder why he would be so worried about Paige. We come to the conclusion that Sam likes Paige. Kian is furious with the suggestion and he keeps on denying it.

Halfway through our quiet conversation, Kian has had enough and stands up suddenly. He throws a few things around like he normally does when he's angry.

As we try to stop his wrath, he sticks up his middle finger and stomps up the stairs. I look around at Lia and Trevor with my jaw on the ground. Lia stands up to go get him but I pull her back down, shaking my head.

She sighs and sits back down.

Kian POV

I bash down Sam's bedroom door, and to my surprise I find Connor consoling Sam as he is balling his eyes out. I suddenly remember the reason why I beat his door down and I allow my face to fill with rage.

Connor looks up at me confused and suggests that I should leave the room.

"Connor get out. I need to talk to Sam. Alone." I shout in his face.

He puts up his hands in defeat and leaves cautiously. I watch him walk down the stairs and then slam what is left of Sam's door.

I crack my knuckles and clasp my hands together. I walk up to him and am now standing directly in front of Sam and there is no way he can escape me this time.

He deserves what is coming for him.
