We arrive at Kingston manor, Damien and Bella are at the door to meet us.
“Glad to see you’re ok Chloe. Come on mate let’s get you sorted out, the medical team is here.” Damien and Josh disappear into the lift. I mean seriously, who has a lift in their house, I still can’t get used to it.
“My god Chloe, you need to stop scaring me like this.” She pulls me in for a hug.
“I’m sorry Bella. I shouldn’t be worrying you like this. How are you? how’s the baby? Do you have photos?” I pull Bella into the sitting room. I suddenly feel exhausted.
We sit on the sofa, and I’m explained to in detail how the scan was performed. How it felt, what it sounded like, how it looked, what Bella felt like etc etc. When Bella tells a story, she tells you every detail, which I love, especially at this moment in time, it takes my mind off my crazy few days.
Josh comes in a couple of hours later and brings me back to reality.
“The police are on their way. They need to take your statement.” Oh no, not again. I hate having to relive everything.
The police are here and have been questioning me for over an hour. Josh is sat beside me.
“So it was a male you heard enter the vehicle?”
“Yes, I think so.”
“And how old do you think this male was?”
“I’m not sure. It was a man’s voice, so not a teenager, but other than that I have no idea.”
“And what did you hear them say?”
“I couldn’t make out what the other man said, I could hear him talking but not what he said.”
“Ok, tell me what you heard your abductor say?”
“Something along the lines of :
I don’t care who the f**k she is.
Not a f**king chance!
Oh and then:
Get lost Dad, I told you it’s never going to happen.
“He called him dad?” Josh stiffens and shoots a look at Damien who is stood in the doorway listening. Damien then disappears. “Yes, I think so. I could be mistaken though.”
“And is that all?”
“Yes, apart from him shouting that Tom Hardy was here to ruin his day, which I assume was Josh.” After talking to the police, I realise how lucky I have been again, and that the reason I am still alive is because of Josh.
The police leave and Josh and I are left alone in the sitting room.
“How are you? How’s your leg?” Josh doesn’t look at me. He just rubs his forehead and speaks.
“It’s fine.”
“Josh, please look at me.” He slowly looks at me and my heart breaks a little. His look is just pure disappointment. He hasn’t even let me explain though. I didn’t plan to go out, it was only because Tyler’s grandma asked me to meet her. I thought the manor security would have told him I was leaving. Before I can explain, Josh stands “You need to pack a bag. We are going away for a while.”
“What? Where?”
“It doesn’t matter where. Just pack a bag and do it quickly.” He exits the room leaving me furious.
I go to my room and start throwing clothes and toiletries in a suitcase. I’m livid. Livid Josh thinks he can just tell me what to do. Livid I am actually doing what he says, and livid my life has turned out this way and I don’t really have any option. A little knock at my door brings me out of my strop.
