I shivered in fear as the one person I thought I could trust stood in front of me with a gun pointed at my head and a crooked smirk on his face.
"Please don't do this. Why are you doing this to me. You told me you loved me and that you would never h...
"Okay, it all started afew months ago... I was laying in bed with your head on my chest as you slept. You looked so peaceful and I wonder how anyone could possibly hurt you. I kept thinking about all the thinks that had ever hurt you like the Adam dying, Ashton, miscarriage, and the thing that hurt you most, Calum and Elinna going behind your back and trying to sleep together. I knew it hurt you more then you let on. I remember constantly having to comfort you if we ever ran into Elianna in public because the sight of her always made you miss the friendship you had. " I looked into Ryder's eyes but they were void of emotion as she nodded for me to continue.
"Well the last time we saw her at the movies I decided we would never have to see her again. That night I contacted an old friend that I thought I could trust. I told him I needed help burying a body and he agreed as long as I paid him $15,000, I agreed. At the time it seemed like the most rational thing....." I was cut off before I could finish
"Murdering Eli seemed liked the most rational thing to do? Are you fucking crazy? Who in their right mind would...." I cut Ryder off before she could continue her sentence
"I'm trying to tell you what happened, I get that what I did was fucked up but if you don't mind please stop talking so I can get this over with." I let out a sigh before speaking again. " Jonah and I decided that we would wait for her to be completely alone, alone to the point that no one would even realize she was missing. It only took a month of waiting before she reached that point. I went to her house and she was shocked to see me and tried to slam the door in my face but I pushed it open causing her to fall to the floor. I know I shouldn't have done it but I grabbed her by her hair and pulled her up the stairs. She was scratching and screaming, begging me not to hurt her but at that moment I couldn't hear her cries all I could hear was you crying against my chest and asking me to stay up with you so you wouldn't have to be alone. I pulled her into her bedroom and called Jonah and told him to come in." Ryder's lips began to quiver and her eyes began to glisten with tears.
"Jonah came in with a rope in his hands and tied her up, he told me to leave and I wouldn't have but..." I was cut off again
"But you did, you left her there with a man that is almost as ruthless as you. What did he do to her? Did he touch her?" A tear ran down Luke and Niall's faces as I nodded
"How could you leave her there? Is this what you do to people that you consider family? How do I know that I'll be safe, that you wouldn't do the same to me?" Ryder was full on crying at this point. I quickly stood to my feet and tried to hug her but she pushed me away
