chapter 27 : growing suspicion

TAYLORS POV
○◇○◇○◇○◇○

"Okay I cant breath your all squeezing to tight" I laugh shrugging my shoulders to empathise my point.

Everyone steps back from me but  still stay close.

I look around the group surrounding me looking for hailee only to register shes not there.

I take quick glances to find hailee  through the bodies and shoulders that continue to block and talk to me.

Hailee has a face of pure white shock as she stares right into my soul.

That's when I notice that shes started to sway.

And then she falls her whole body slumping to the floor.

"Shit!" i shout as I  push past my freinds and family  to get to her side.

I'm soon next to her on the floor  lifting  her head  to be on my shoulder  as I look over her to see if she has any sign of consciousness.

"Oh god hailee!" I hear her aunt corinne  exclaim soon taking a position behind my shoulder.

"Whats happend?" Shes ask holding  my other shoulder.

"I dont know one minute she was looking at me in shock the next shes sprawled out on the floor" I reply   back softly  looking over my shoulder to her aunt.

"Let's bring her inside" her aunt ushers stepping back from me.

I nod picking hailee up with ease  and taking her into the living room.

30 mins later

"Ughh my fucking head"i groan out sitting up from the soft place I lay.

"You okay " gently says a small voice next to me.

I look over to the small chair beside me to see lacey.

"Yeah I'm fine bit of a headache but I'll take some ibuprofen" I reply back gently massaging my temples.

"Glad your okay you had me worried" she admits  quietly to the floor.

I smile slowley getting up from the couch to get to her side.

"Thanks for caring Lacey" I tell her scoping her up into a hug.

"Your phones been ringing none stop I would have answerd it but I felt that would have been invasive" lacey tells me with a ligh as she pulls away.

"Oh really thanks lacey and you could have answerd I wouldn't have minded" I told her casually.

"I'll see you outside"  Lacey smiles at me as she  gets up and leaves the room.

I watch as she leaves before unlocking phone.

       3 missed calls ❤ BB ❤
           Text from ❤ BB ❤

I let out a shakey breath before opening the text.

❤ BB ❤ hurry up I'm  here

"Shit" i whisper quickly moving out the room towards the garden.

TAYLORS POV
○◇○◇○◇○◇○

I sit across from the bar around the table with all my old friends.

"Is she gonna be okay" Stephanie  questions lacey as she sits down next to me.

I look over at lacey taking my eyes off the back door.

"Shes fine shes awake now her phones been ringing for a while though" she says reassuringly  looking at Stephanie as she sits down next to me.

"Who's ringing her none stop then" mason questions lacey speaking the thought we all wanted to know.

lacey goes to reply  but soon stops as she clocks something.

"It was him" Lacey informs us with disgust nodding in the direction of the blond  boy that's just entered the back gate.

Thats when alarms set off inside me thanks to laceys tone and the way everyone around me has visibly shifted to either a defensive or disgusted tone screams alot to me.

I watch as the blond boy makes his way further into the garden.

Thats when hailee appears in the door way visibly anxious as she looks around.

I watch as the boy shouts her name  waving her over.

He now has everyones attention some of the adults wave at him from the bar other such as hailees aunt only gives him a glance before turning to look at  hailee.

I  glance at the group to  next to me lacey has her face  drawn in a disgusted angry manner as she regards the boy.

I soon look to stephanie who has brought her posture to a more alert way her head following his every move with disgust and venom.

Bella and faye  regard him with nonchalant stares however I feel a small tone of defence in their body language.

Mason and cater both look at each other before looking at hailee.

Jack  who  is  stood  behind me has become more stiffer his arms crossed infront of his chest his eyes darting between the boy and hailee.

Brian has his gaze solely on hailee protection written In how he sits.

I watch as hailee makes her way over to the boy in quite a quick manner.

She looks to be apologising profusely as she moves her hands alot before  she place her hands on his chest.

He looks down on her not saying a word as he  removes  her hands from his chest.

Hailees face contorted from anxious to a small smile as she looks down.

I catch a small glimpse of fear waver tthrough her.

That's when he leans in behind her ear making it hard for me to take a clear emotion from him.

However hailees body language changes from small to even smaller.

He finishes whatever he had to say to her giving her one last look before shouting goodbye with a big smile  and waving  towards  the parents  bar  and us as he leaves.

Hailee runs her had through her hair before going to the parents at the bar.

She starts going around the group hugging and saying goodbye to them as they all question her sudden disappearance and if shes okay  she only smiles saying shes fine and  apologised that she forgot she made other plans.

She then makes her way over to us.

"I'm gonna head off did I leave my bag here?" She ask looking around us.

" this it " I as holding up a small bag from beside me out towards her.

"Yeah thanks" she  replies softly as she  leans over to me and grabs it.

She steps back her gaze never leaving mine as she dreamingly stares at me.

"Right I gotta go love you all" she perks back up snapping her crystal  eyes away from mine to regard the group.

" call me if you need me" stephanie tells her in a serious  tone concern seeping from it.

"Yes mum" hailee laughs back as she walks away.

Well all watch her disappear thought the gate a silent sigh coming from everyone as they relax a bit.

"So who the fuck was that prick"i ask sternly sitting back in my chair as I  regard the group who all react in different ways.
