Baby I'm Gone Gone Gone
Chapter 7
Rachel's POV:
Trevor was right. I couldn't tell my parents about this. I had to handle this on my own.
RachelT: ok. Ill see you there.
TrevorS: Alright then. Goodnight.
I set my laptop down. I had to figure this out before I transferred schools. That meant I had a week and a half. I couldn't lose Lexi!....or Trevor.
I crawled off my bed, and left my room. I could hear Mom, Dad, and my Uncles talking quietly. I slowly crept over to the railing of the steps and listened.
"Who could know?" Asked my Moms voice worriedly.
"I hate to think of this, but what if its a rival band?" Asked a voice sounding like Uncle Liam's. "The police said the brick had no finger prints." said Uncle Zayn.
"I say we drag everyone who knows about her over here and have them questioned." Said Uncle Harry loudly. "Quiet Harry! She'll hear you." Shushed Dad. "Shouldn't she know?" Asked Uncle Harry. "I think she already does." Said Dad.
They were right. I did know what was going on. And I knew why too. But...I couldn't tell them. I didnt want to tick off the Wanted.
"Body guards. With her all the time." Suggested Uncle Liam. "That would completely give her away." Protested Mom. "Would you rather have her life at risk?" Asked Uncle Liam. "It would be even more if the world found out!" Yelled Mom.
"Eleanor please." Shushed Dad. I cowered more in the shadows trying to make myself completely invisable. "I think Harry has a good plan. We need to ask anyone who would know." Said Uncle Zayn.
"Maybe we could...." Started Uncle Liam, but I didnt hear the rest. Someone grabbed my shoulder and I screamed as loud as I could.
Louis's POV:
We were all sitting around discussing what to so. El didnt want body guards to give away her identity. Maybe they could watch her from a distance. Not even she would know they were there.
I liked that plan. Suddenly Liam started talking, but from upstairs came Rachel's scream. "RAY!!" I yelled, jumping to my feet, and moving quickly from the room, the boys right behind me.
I was so sure I would see something terrifying, but instead I found Niall laughing so hard he looked like he was about to pee his pants. Meanwhile Rachel was yelling at him.
"She....she was...." Niall tried to talk, but couldn't because he was laughing so hard. "He scared me to death." Said Rachel trying to sound angry, but by her face I could tell she was trying not to laugh.
Finally Niall stopped laughing. "She was spying, and I came up behind her and grabbed her shoulder." We all laughed at this. "Rachel. Spying?" Asked Eleanor. "I just wanted to know what was going to happen." She admitted.
I went over to her, and hugged her tightly. "We are going to do whatever it takes to make sure you're safe." I told her. She hugged me back and agreed.
When I pulled away she looked...guilty? "Rachel. Are you hiding something?" I asked her. "No." She replied blushing. She was really a terrible liar.
"I just wanted to ask you if I could go somewhere tomorrow." She mumbled. "Sure. Out with Lexi?" Asked El. She shook her head. "Other friend." She said.
This shocked me. I didnt know she talked to anyone else. "Um. Where are you going?" I asked. "Subway." She replied. That made me feel better. Nice and public. "Alright. Have fun. Be home by 10." I told her, ruffling her hair.
She smiled, and hurried up the stairs. Body guards. I would set it up tonight. No one was going to lay a hand on my baby girl.
Trevors POV:
"TREVOR ROMAN SYKES!!" Yelled Dad, jolting me awake. "What..." I mumbled into my pillow. It was late. "Care to explain this chat?" He asked.
I jumped up at that. My chat with Rachel...on his screen. Including the part about me calling her a code name. Crap. "You...hacked my account." I squeaked.
"You seemed suspicious." He replied, slamming his laptop shut. "So the 2 of you have a little date tomorrow?" He asked. Uh oh.
"Yeah." I replied slowly. It wasnt neccassarily a date, but I could see he didnt care. "Perfect. That plays right with my plan." He said, getting up, and crossing the room.
"Don't hurt her!" I yelled. "Wouldn't dream of it." He called back. Run Rachel!
Trevor was right. I couldn't tell my parents about this. I had to handle this on my own.
