Chapter 67
+25 Bonus
This last week has been the hardest of my life, that’s including all the beatings I’ve received. I stayed inside my house the entire time, trying to focus on school work, but mostly crying. I told the guards that I didn’t want Liam in my house, and so far, they’ve followed my instructions. I haven’t seen the guys much either, they mostly come to convince me that nothing happened between Clara and Liam. I don’t one hundred percent think anything happened between them; Clara likes to lie. But everything else I said was true. We had an end date anyway; this was bound to happen sooner or later.
I walk downstairs, rubbing my neck under the clasp of my necklace. I think the clasp Liam fixed has come loose, because it’s starting to hurt a little. My mom sets down my breakfast and watches me. She’s been super concerned since everything went down between Liam and I, and I haven’t been answering many of her questions.
“What’s wrong? Does your neck hurt?” She asks worried, walking up to me to inspect it. I sigh, “Liam fixed the clasp on it a few weeks ago and I think it’s gotten loose again, I feel like it’s stabbing me.” I answer her, and her hands drop the necklace, and she freezes.
I look back at her, wondering what’s gotten into her. “Amy. Did this necklace ever come off your body?” She asks calmly looking at me straight in the eyes. I look at her confused, what’s the big deal? “I mean, yeah for a minute. It fell to the floor and then Liam had to fix it. I’d say five minutes tops.” I shrug, still trying to read her, I know she doesn’t want me to take it off, but is it really this serious?
Her eyes go wide, and she runs over to the calendar, looking at something. “Fuck! Get any essentials that you need. Pack them up, we’re leaving first thing in the morning.” She yells, starting to run up the stairs, but I stop her. “What’s going on mom? You’re scaring me.” I ask frantically, not understanding. “Sweetheart, I’ll tell you once we’re out of here. I should have told you a long time ago. I have some things I have to get situated right now. Just be ready to go by tomorrow morning, okay?” She answers with fear written all over her face. What is going on? I look at her frightened, and she looks at me like she understands but really needs me to trust her right now. So, I nod my head and agree.
I call Mia and tell her to come over quickly. She’s here within five minutes, she must have been at Walker’s house. I tell her everything that happened, and that I have to leave. She starts crying instantly, while I start packing some of the stuff I might need. “I don’t know if I’m leaving forever, or just have to leave for a few weeks. My mom wouldn’t tell me anything.” I say to her, she’s still crying, but now it’s just silent tears falling down her cheeks. I don’t know if I’m just too cried out from this last week or what, but I haven’t cried yet. I mean essentially, this is what I wanted eventually. Granted, I didn’t think I’d be running, I figured I’d just be leaving. I don’t understand anything that is happening right now, maybe that’s why.
My mom left a while ago, and I saw her head to Liam’s house. I’m sure to tell Julia, but I can’t decide if I should say goodbye to the guys. Would that just make things worse for all of us? “But I don’t understand, you have to leave because you took off a necklace?” Mia asks trying to put the pieces together. I shrug, “I don’t know, none of it makes any sense. She said she’d explain it once we left here.” I say, not making heads or tails of it either.
