Chapter 27 |
Kalarnia just stood there stunned."What did you do?" Kalarnia said hoping she was just hearing things. "It wasn't my fault!" Laurel said in her defense.Jayden walked by and saw the two in the side room."What's up?" Jayden asked as she stood on the side of Kalarnia and Laurel."Um..." Laurel said as she tried to think about how to say what she had to say."Jayden, last night at the club, Ryan slipped me something through a drink and he took me back to his place..." Laurel trailed off looking at Jayden.Jayden gasped."Are you all right?" She said getting on her knees by Laurel."No.." Laurel said starting to get upset."Shh,it's gonna be ok,tell Amir now, he's been going nuts on wondering where you were since last night." "Ok..." Laurel said and went to go find Amir. "Damnit Laurel you're a whore!" Paige said with a knowing look on his face.Bobby and Jay snickered.Jay and Bobby were over to make sure Amir would be ok.Laurel went up to her room.She could hear "Closer" by NIN playing on the stereo.She looked to her bed that she shared with Amir.There she saw Amir face down.Laurel swallowed hard.She knew when Amir was under high stress or rock bottom depression, that he turned to heroin.Yes, he had quit, but you know how bad habits always come creeping back when you least expect it. Laurel opened the door and rushed toward Amir."Amir?" Laurel asked shaking Amir a little bit. "AMIR?" Laurel said louder as he didnt move or respond in any other way.Laurel buried her head in her hands and started to yell: "No! I am not going to be a victim!You can't do this to me!" 'Well, well, well... ' said the voices in Laurel's head.'looks like amir is dead.Such a shame!' They said with cruel sarcasm.The voices continued on: 'To check that he's dead, shoot him in the back of his head.' Laurel covered up her ears with her hands and backed up to the wall by the door.She slid down to the floor and screamed as loud as she could: "Leave me alone!Go away!" Amir stirred.He hadn't died of an over-dose."What in the f/uck is going on? Amir said raising his head up and rubbing his eyes.Laurel backed up into the corner of the room.She was afraid to face her own husband.Laurel's paranoia set in and she thought: 'What if he knows?What if Paige told him?' Amir got up and trudged toward where Laurel hid."Baby?" Amir asked in a soft voice.Laurel was more scared than she had ever been."Amir?Are you ok?" Laurel asked."I'm fine, I just took sleeping pills to force myself to go to sleep,I was so worried about you!" Amir got down to his knees and grabbed Laurel softly and kissed her gently."Where have you been? Amir asked as the kiss ended.Laurel replied: "Ryan took me home, he was worried I'd get hurt on the way back here." Laurel lied."I'm so relieved you're safe." Amir said as he picked Laurel up in his arms and swung her around a little.Laurel giggled.'You're such a pathetic little dirty bitch.' The voices whispered.Laurel refused to listen to them as she fell asleep in Amir's arms. ~ Back downstairs ~ The phone rang.Jayden answered after two rings."Hello?" Jayden said as she put the reciever to her ear."Hello?" her voice echoed back."Is anyone there?" Jayden asked."Is anyone there?" the other line echoed again."I'm hanging up now." Jayden announced.Just before she lifted the reciever from her ear, a distorted voice replied to her."Put laurel on the phone right now or I swear to god I will rip you apart." Jayden gasped.Jayden slamed the phone back on the hook and ran back to the living room.Right after her Paige had just gotten off of his cell phone............... to be continued... |
