Chapter 25

London let go of me and I went into Axel's arms, I was very conflicted. So many emotions where surging through me but the one that was most prominent was rage and surprisingly hurt. Axel put his arms around me and we started to dance and move slowly to the rhythm of the music. I feel his arms tighten more around me and he pulls me closer, it was as if he was clinging onto to me.

I wanted to bring up the topic as to why he had done all those things, and what was going on, but I was going to confront him later on when it was just the two of us.

The songs where playing and neither one of us said anything, I had nothing to say to him as it was him who owed me an explanation as to why he had done that.

"Let's go outside" as he whispered in my ear. We walked outside, and we found a bench we could sit and talk by.

"I need to explain to you what happened, and why I changed."

I sat there staring at him, waiting for him to carry on and tell me what had really led to this outcome.

"You see Talia, I had to"

"Boss we need you urgently!" as one of his men came and whispered something in his ear. He stood up abruptly "get underneath the bench Talia and don't move!" I did as he commanded, and I felt scared. Axel started to leave with the guard,

But then he turned back and came back, he gave me a slow kiss on the forehead "don't worry, I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you." I nodded as my eyes were wide from fear.

"I will be back soon Talia" as he lastly placed a peck on my lips and he left. I saw him removing a gun from the back of his tux.

Then they left, I was wondering what was going on, I decided to stay hidden. My heart was in my throat as I heard gunshots. What if I got shot or worse what if Axel or London got shot, I hoped they would be okay.

I heard some footsteps slowly approaching to were I was, and I pressed my hand onto my mouth so that I wouldn't make a sound, I was praying that they hadn't seen me, suddenly I felt someone yank my hair so hard, that I had to grit my teeth.

"Help!" then the hand hit the side of my face, I passed out.

I woke up and I felt myself moving, I started to panic and when my eyes shot open. I wanted to scream but I suppressed it.

"You are finally awake, are you okay?"

"Styles, where are you taking me?" as I calmed down a bit when I realized its him. "To my place."

"Wait where is Axel?"

"Whilst you were being harmed by the guy who was trying to kidnap you, he was saving his blonde damsel in distress." A lump formed in my throat, if it hadn't been for Styles what would have happened to me? Axel was busy saving another girl!

Hot tears were forming but so would I forbid if I let them fall, my fist clenched, and hatred started to form. I would get Axel back for this if it was the last thing I did.

I turned to Styles "what do you want from me?"

"Nothing" as he sighed.

"Then what's the point of taking me?"

"I thought you would want to leave Axel and I couldn't leave you there after what that guy tried to do to you."

"Oh thank you." I started to wonder what would happen to me? I felt a hand go to my shoulder. "Don't stress Talia, everything will be okay. I won't give you what you can't handle."

"If you say so."

I reclined back and stared outside into the darkness, I pressed down every emotion that was trying to suffocate me. I wondered If Axel even realised, I was gone? Was he faking, when he said he wanted to tell me something.?

I felt very heavy, why did I feel betrayed?
