"We will just pick something up on our way home," Chloe says placing keys inside her pocket.
"Oh that reminds me," Chloe begins looking over at Hayley.
"Any chance we can take your car for now?" She asked cheekily, it was obvious Hayley sobered up quite quick for a moment.
"-And who do you expect to drive, you don't have a driving license." She says strongly.
Chloe points to me still smiling as cheeky as ever, I never saw her this way.
"He just woke up from a coma, Chloe." She warned her slowly.
"That's the one thing I remember how to do," I replied sighing, backing up my fiance.
What's your favourite chapter and why?? Comment and review!!
Wow, I can really see the resemblance now. I snickered to myself for a moment forgetting to read the room. "Is this some fucking joke to you boy?" The man walking around the table to get to me, Jason was already between the two of us before I even took a step. "This ones all Chloe's I'm only here for support." I say serious. "However I am going to point out is that I can see the resemblances, yet the three of you never actually lived together, I guess this is a 'Nature vs. Nurture' thing." "I want a DNA test." Mr. Bayleigh whispered venom. "Okay that's fine where do we get one?" Chloe asked her hands in her pockets as Mrs. Bayleigh pokes and prods her trying to see what's what.
Chloe’s P.O.V “You keep saying how it doesn’t make any sense, but then you go back and say your sorry for ever doubting me, now you are against your brother who came out as gay, because he hid it for so long. Why do you think that is Colby?” I raised my voice, I didn’t mean to but I was getting frustrated with coddling him, he knows what his parents are like so why put on this mask of confusion? “You know nothing of my family Chloe, don’t pretend you do, not only that but your getting your other family back so maybe you don’t need me anymore!” He yelled at me, he sounded more angry and upset then I had ever heard from him before. I didn’t want to say something I’d regret so I didn’t say anything at all, instead I looked out the window with tears filling my eyes. “Are you going to give me silent treatment now, after everything I’ve done for you?” I had enough. “Stop the car.” I said more c
Chloe’s P.O.V “The past couple days, there were times where maybe I thought you should have just let me go, and I know that’s selfish, but I don’t want to be the one who is dragging you down.” He spoke slowly, the rain was loud against the roof of the car. “Drag me down? I did all this so we could be together, you made me the way I turned out Colby, if it wasn’t for you getting me out of that basement I would still be there and I would have never been at the place I am now. If it makes you feel any better I too was selfish, the doctors believed you were suffering more in the coma, then if I were to just, let you go.” I confessed, he turned to face the steering wheel. He had a look I haven’t seen before as he spoke. “I guess we are both selfish in some ways.” I looked forward as well watch
Colby’s P.O.V “I knew I shouldn’t have let you drive, oh my god Colby, what were you thinking?” Hayley yelled at me while I sat on the side of the hospital bed, with my head laid shamefully in my hands, and my eyes shut tight. I couldn’t blame her for anger or her yelling at me, she was right and the question still stands like an elephant in the room. What ‘was’ I thinking? I didn’t have an answer. Doctor Cane walked in with his clipboard in hand, he was a tall man, around 6’3 with graying dark brunette hair and serious green eyes. The white doctors jacket made him look official. “Good evening, Colby. How are you feeling?”
I nodded towards the door gesturing to Hayley to follow, we went into the hallway walking in the direction of the infirmary, as the directions on the wall states. The closer we got to the infirmary the more my heart was rising into my throat. "Colby." Hayley grabbed my arm, forcing me to face her. "Do you really not feel anything about this?" I was red-faced as we made eye contact I couldn't hold back my tears any longer, I began to shake as I hiccupped through my quiet sobs. That's when Hayley did something unexpected, she pulled me into a hug and I leaned into her shoulder, tears soaking not only my face but her shoulder as well. All my emotions had hit me all at once, like a tidal wave hitting the shore.
Jason came with me, there was no time to stop. "How would they know if she is here or not?" "They have people who keep watch for Intel, give them some cash and people will do anything they ask." I explain, walking down the hallway. "Yeah but wouldn't they need someone in the hospital directly, they didn't even know her name." He says quickening his pace to meet my stride. "They don't need her name, they have a list of the infirmary, they steal babies and leave without a trace, how do you think they got Chloe in the first place, the hospital is like a candy store to my family they see a child they want and take them without hesitation, but in this case they are bound to making a mistake because they want Chloe dead." I explained as we got closer to her room. A nurse was leaving her room and she took off down the hallway making me feel suspicious, I ran into Chloe's room as she was sitting up a bit with a juice box. "Colby?" I ran to her side an
Lifting my leg and kicking down the metal door forcing it to crash into the wall behind it.It echoed bouncing off the walls as we quickly made our way into the room, it was dark so I switched on the light, keeping my gun hoisted towards the middle of the room in case someone shoots, or tries to attack.The room was almost silent, as I heard weeping in the far left corner of the room, a pillar in the way where I couldn’t see who was there. “Who's there?” I say loud enough for my voice to boom in the near empty storage unit. “Colby, you might want to see this.” Jason says standing on the other side of the pillar, I make my way over to him as I realize a red headed young woman cuffed by her ankle to a metal hook that was bolted into the wall.She was folded in on herself on a small dirtied cot on the floor. “Hey, are you okay?”Jason went to touch her. “Don’t fucking touch m
Chloe's P.O.V "You have to get up, Chloe." A nurse behind me speaks up, my head underneath the white blankets. I tightened the blankets more securely around me, I refuse, why is it that the nurses haven't noticed my babies are missing. The nurse sighs, hearing the door squeal open and closed again. "I don't understand why she won't get up, one minute she's screaming to hold them and the next she won't move." They whisper hushly to one another. They know I'm not deaf, and I'm laying right here, the ignorance was beginning to piss me off even more. "Most likely postpartum, it happens a lot." The other nurse replied. 'Postpartum, what? I don't even know what that word means!' "Poor girl, and so young too." I sat up and faced them, hair disheveled and tear dried eyes. "You haven't even noticed that my children are missing and somehow I'm supposed to trust you to be the ones to protect them when I was u
“That’s probably Jason’s fault.” Hayley replied, turning on her turning signal. “Why do you say that?” I asked, furrowing my eyebrows. “Remember before we left when your mom said Jason ‘used’ to be in the military?” She reitterated. “Yeah, what about it?” I asked again, breathing out smoke. “You put a gun in that guy's hands, and all of a sudden he thinks nothing can touch him. He stopped listening to orders and began to be a risk to his platoon. His C.O decided it might be best if he was dismissed from his duties for the past year now, or, should I say, at least before we met you.” She says continuing to drive down the next street. “You’ve known me for eight months now, which means he must have been let go twelve months ago?” I say, keeping an eye on the cop car behind us. “Yeah, give or take that.” She nodded; her blue eyes kept flickering in her rearview mirror. “We are getting close to the grocery store, you think we will pull this off?” “Again, we don’t have much of a cho
Chloe’s P.O.VI made my way slowly out onto the balcony, I needed fresh air. I haven’t heard from Colby or Jason in hours, and I can’t call them again, but right now I don’t know if any of them are dead or alive.I leaned against the metal bars I could feel the staples in my abdomen pulling, I took a deep breath. I heard the balcony door open and close behind me. “I know there’s a lot of stress right now, but is there anything I can do to ease it a bit?”Hayley questioned, leaning sideways onto the balcony bars, I thought for a moment. “Actually, there mighty be. Call Hayden.” I say, nodding. “Wait, are you sure thats a good idea?” You could hear the doubt in her voice. “Regardless of him not listening to orders, he is still good with combat and a gun.” I said, taking a cigarette from the pack, lighting it between my lips inhaling the smoke.“It's just that, we haven't really heard from him since that night with Lucy.” Hayley trails off.“What are you talking about? He was supposed
“Are you insane?” I whispered to Jason urgently in my voice.“We gotta get rid of them.” He whispered back.“No, keep your head down and keep your mouth shut. They'll leave, just watch.” I nodded toward the men around the corner.Sure enough they continued to walk, a phone started going off.“Yeah, what?” One of the boys said.“We were just about finished our rounds.” He continued, we couldn't hear who was on the other end.“Yeah, no sight of Colby yet.”“What's he saying?” The other guy beside him asked.“We gotta do another round.” The one on the phone replied.“You gotta be joking.” the other commented.I looked at Jason, his hand around the butt of the gun, it was like he was just itching to spill blood.“Wait, you want us to meet you where? –Yeah alright Jasp, yeah old gas station? Okay, yeah we will meet you there.”My blood ran cold, and I looked at Jasper's face, it looked as if the blood ran from his face, he was as pale as a ghost. Jasper, is on their side?I could hear their
Chloe's p.o.v A part of me knew, the last I know the better but not knowing was slowly driving me crazy. “Chloe dear, you must calm down.” My mother says sitting on the edge of the couch in our livingroom. Hayley was in the kitchen making tea, I on the other hand is pacing the room, I told the police half truths meaning they were also half lies and thinking about that is making me anxious. “I can’t.” I say biting the nail on my thumb. “Okay but can you at least sit down, you gave birth only six hours ago, if you keep pacing like this you will rip your stitches. “I don’t care about the stitches, I care about my family coming back safe.” I realized I said that more harshly then I intended, so I sat down in the chair beside the coffee table. “I know how terrifying this is, your father didn’t want to wait for the police to bring you home either.” She says softly. I looked down and bit my lower lip before speaking. “Why did you?” “We had your brother to care for too, we couldn
All I heard over the phone was nothing but a click indicating she hung up, I sighed and pulled a harsh corner off of the freeway and onto a street. Continuously looking in my rearview mirror seeing if I lost them yet, nope red and blue lights shined brighter as the afternoon was turning to evening. "In Hayley's shitty car I don't think we are going to lose them." Jason says, annoyance filled his voice and I pressed on the gas as hard as it would let me. You could hear the thumping of the engine and the steering wheel was almost impossible to control, veering side to side as if I had a few too many to drink but I still held on. As I said before nothing will get in my way, not even these law abiding cops who didn't learn when to quit. There was a voice of the cop in the magnaphone. "Pull over or we will shoot." I didn't obey, I didn't stop or slow down. I had to get there and soon because if I don't kill us, Chloe will if I don't bring the twins home safe and sound, I wouldn't sto
There were neatly lined cans of soup on the shelf. He could make a run for it. When I was close enough, I gazed over at Jason, knowing what I was thinking. He nodded, letting me take the lead. "Hurry the fuck up, I don't have all day!" He kept eyeing the door. If at any moment he'll get caught by the cops red handed, and here they don't ask questions, they shoot first. The woman behind the cash opened the drawer, taking out the bills, fifties, twenty's, tens and fives, tears soaking her cheeks, hiccuping her panicked sobs. I stood up and grabbed him into a headlock. Any wrong move. I could break his neck with one twist of my arm, if inevitable. The man tried to free himself from my grasp, cashier was screaming and cowering with her hands protecting her head. He shot off the gun twice missing me by a quarter of an inch and the second just whizzed past the cashier's head as the glass casing behind her smashed into splintering shards everywhere, she screamed in fear and pain when g
Chloe's P.O.V I stood there breathless as I went face first into a police officer's chest. I stepped back trying to hold back the surprise, letting him into the room. "Are you the woman with the missing babies?" I can't lie or I'd be seen as an accomplice. "Yes I am." Letting worry fill my voice, my hands laced together anxiously. "When was the last time you saw them?" The more brute officer asked, his hand lazily on his gun holt. I eyed my mother for support before answering. "I, I didn't." Something hard was in my throat, something I couldn't swallow. "You don't know?" The man asked, raising a condescending eyebrow and folded his arms. "She was out cold, they were born prematurely due to unforeseen circumstances." My mother says, coming to my rescue, and wrapping her arm around my shoulders. "Is this true?" The man didn't seem to believe me, what mother would lie about their child? "Officer, I would never lie about my babies going missing, instead of asking so many que
Chloe's P.O.V That wretched woman has twins, and I remember the first time I met her, she was almost as bad as Alistair. Her white curly hair and barely wrinkled face made me shiver. She used to tell Alistair to beat me more, that I had to learn more discipline, and show more respect. Everyday she stayed I had gotten beat at least once a day and instead of my meals once a day I got food maybe once every three days that month. I remember the fight Carolynn and Alistair had the last night she was around, it was the first time Carolynn stood up for me, at the time I didn't really understand why I was getting hurt and barely fed, I was only four or five at the time. I held Hayley's phone tightly in the palm of my hand seething with anger, any tighter the screen would crack. "Chloe, are you alright dear?" I turned towards the woman who gave birth to me. "No, and until they are safe I won't be." I admitted, passing Hayley her phone back. My mother nodded, if anyone could understand
The streets filled with the sound of screeching tires and the smell of burning rubber, into the alley. Three cars, a silver Nissan, a white Toyota and one I wasn't expecting, a red mustang. The red mustang was my brothers and that didn't make sense to me. I stopped just short enough not to hit the Nissan, and two men came out. Camino, and Dee. The two out of three triplets that worked for my father, the only difference between the three is that Camino has a deep scar straight across his chubby face. He came up to my window and I rolled it down. "Damn it Colby what the fuck are you driving?" Camino questioned as he spat chewing tobacco over his shoulder. "Where are they Camino?" I asked, as I got out of the car. "I don't know what you're talking about man." Camino says moving his tongue over his teeth getting off the sticky tobacco. "You're a fucking lier." I hollard making my way to the abandoned unit behind him. "We can't let you in Colby, boss's orders." Dee says placing a
