Chapter Five

~Chloe~

~Friday night~

I am on my way to Liam's house when a cop pulled me over. Was I speeding? Oh god. Keep it cool Abby. I pulled out my License and Registration. I rolled my window down and the cop got out of his car. I looked in my mirror and gasped. He is one hot cop.

"License and Registration." He said all manly. "Was I speeding officer?" I asked. He raised an eyebrow. "You ran a stop sign." He pointed out. I did? No I did not. He looked at my license. "Abby White? May you step out of the car please?" He asked me. "What for officer?" I asked sincerely. "Now." He demanded, I looked at his shirt and he had a fake badge. I slid my knife in my boot and got out. "What is this for?" I asked. "Turn around hands on the car." He demanded. He started to pat me down. He spun me around and kissed me. I was in shock. I pushed him away. "WHAT THE HELL?!" I shouted at him.

"Like you don't remember me Chloe." He said. I looked at him in confusion. How did he know my name? "Who?" I asked. "I know that pretty face anywhere." He pointed out. "I don't know what you are talking about. My name is Abby." I responded. "Well Abby. Maybe you will remember this." He says sarcastically. He took off his shirt. He turned around and he had a tattoo with my name and his. "ANDREW?!" I shouted. Andrew is the guy that I dated for so long. He was a senior and I was a freshman in high school last year. We secretly dated until I was a freshman. I thought I was in love with him. But he is honestly a little crazy. He told me he was going to get a tattoo to prove our love. Really? Why would he do that?

"I thought you would remember." He said and kissed me again. I pushed him off of me. "I told you I did not love you. And that is the truth." I shouted. "You do love me sunshine. And I am the one who always knew you were innocent. You came to me for everything. We even made love. You can't tell me you don't love me." He snapped. "You. Are. Crazy. Get over yourself if you ever think I will love you." I said and turned to the car. He grabbed my arm and pushed me against the car. "GET OFF!" I kicked him off of me. I opened the door but he pulled me back. I spun my fist around and hit him in the face. Then kicked him in the stomach. "Don't ever lay a hand on me again." I demanded. "You think I am crazy?! Look at you!" He pointed out. "You are just messing with the wrong girl. I am Abby White. Not Chloe." I said and got into the car. I drove off instantly. I can't believe he found me. That means others can find me too. I have to leave soon. Very soon.

I pulled into Liam's driveway and walked to the door. I ringed the doorbell and waited for an answer. I think Liam, Coral and Emily will be a great fit for what I have planned for them. I can see they are trust worthy. The door opens and a lady came to the door. "Hi, I am Abby. One of Liam's friends." I smiled. "Of course! Nice to meet you Abby. Come in sweetie." She says and I walked in. She closes the door behind me. "I will show you where Liam and his other friends are." She says and we walk up the stairs. I seen pictures hanging up on the wall of Liam as we walked up the stairs. Their family looks so happy. "Liam tells me you are new? Where are you from?" She asked me. "I was born in Beverly Hills, California. Then I was all over the world." I informed. "Really? Is your dad or mom in the army or something?" She asked me. "Something like that." I smiled. She smiled back. She opens the door and Liam, Emily and Coral sit on the bed laughing. Their eyes shot at me. "ABBY!" Liam shouts and jumps off the bed. "Thanks mom." Liam says and shuts the door. "Your mom seems nice." I giggled. "She is. I love her." Liam smiled. I took off my leather jacket. "Oh my god are you okay?!" Coral said grabbing my arm. There is bruises of a hand print from where Andrew grabbed me.

"Um... Yeah..." I said putting my jean jacket back on. They all stared at me. "You know you can tell us anything." Emily informed. "It's nothing. Sometimes I grab myself in my sleep. It's a night terror thing." I explained. "That is so not true." Liam said. "IT IS!" I snapped. They stared at me in shock for just yelling at them.

"I'm sorry.... I have to go." I said and grabbed my bag. I can't believe I just yelled at them. I never yell at my friends.

"Abby wait!" Liam said and stopped in front of me. "If you don't want to tell us. Then that is ok. But some day you are going to tell us what that is from. Got it?" Liam said. I nodded. "And I will tell you when I am ready. It's too much to know right now. You will find out when it's time." I said and put my bag back down. "Can we order pizza? Because I am so hungry." I added. "Already on its way." Coral and Emily laughed. I rolled my eyes and sat at the end of the bed. We al were talking about gossip and everything then the pizza arrived.

"Here is your pizza guys." His mom said, walking through the door. "Thanks mom." Liam says and his mom walks out; closing the door behind her. Once we opened the pizza box my phone started to ring. It showed unknown caller. I hesitated to answer. "Hello?" I asked. "Hey... It's me." Vanessa responded. My eyes widen. I got up and stepped out of the room. "Vanessa, what are you doing calling me?! You know my father will have people hunt you down and kill you." I informed. "All they have on me is talking to a girl named Abby White." She giggled. "Vanessa, we made a deal to only call me if it is an emergency. Then other times I will call you." "Chloe, it's bad. Your father caught me snooping. I had to lie to him. But he wouldn't believe it. I ran from him. I am in some run down hotel in the desert. Like 50 miles until Arizona." "Okay, where are you at. I will meet you and pick you up?" "No. You are not going to come get me. You need to run because your father will kill you. I found out something. Something that will show that he is not your father anymore. You are adopted Chlo... Your father is the President of The United States. Run to him. Tell him everything. You have to..." She started to say. "Vanessa?!" I shouted. "RUN CHLOE RUN! Get off of me!" Vanessa shouts at someone on the other line. "VANESSA!" I shouted again. I heard a gunshot over and over again. "VAN?!" I shouted. Tears started to fall from my eyes. "You better run Chloe. Because you are next." Said a guy on the other line. Then the line went dead. I slid down on the wall. Tears filled my eyes. I could still hear laughing in their room so they couldn't hear me. I ran down the stairs and outside. I sat on the porch and just cried. They killed my best friend. I shouldn't have let her get into this. Vanessa and I have been best friends for years. Now she is dead?! And my father is the PRESIDENT OF THE FREAKING UNITED STATES?! HOW IS THAT?! This is just too much.

"Hey..." Said a guy standing in front of me. I whipped my tears. "Are you okay?" He asked me. "Not to be rude but who are you?" I asked. He started laughing. "I'm Cooper. Liam's older brother." He said and sat down next to me. "Abby." I responded. "Well Abby, are you going to tell me what's wrong or do I have to guess?" He asked me. "I think it will be more interesting to see you guessing. But I am not that rude." I frowned. He started chuckling. "My best friend just died back home. She was murdered." I informed him. "Oh god. I am so sorry." He said. "It's ok.... I just wish I would have been there." "Don't say that. Then you wouldn't be sitting right here with me if you was there." He said. I started to blush. "If this is your way of flirting, you are doing a good job." I giggled. He smiled. I looked back at the door. "I should be getting back inside to Liam." I said and stood up. "Here." He said and whipped my tears. "Everything will be ok." He told me. I smiled and walked back inside, heading up the stairs. Once I walked into the room they stared at me.

"Have you been crying?" They asked. Crap... I can't lie because of my makeup. I nodded. "What's wrong?" Emily asked. I sat at the end of the bed. I am not telling them everything. Only that my best friend was just murdered.

"My best friend Vanessa was murdered." I told them. "Oh my god!" Emily shouts. "I am so sorry." Liam says and hugged me. "I am sorry too." Coral said and hugged me as well. Emily leaned in and hugged me also. "Guys, not to be rude but I can't breathe!" I shouted. They chuckled and pulled away. "Sorry." They all laughed. The rest of the night went by smooth. Everyone passed out at 2 A.M. Except for me. That is when I wrote the note explaining things to them. It's time for me to leave. Only been here not even a week yet and already had to leave. They are going to track me down. I have to be gone from here before they can get to me.
