Chapter 36
♡ Lauren’s POV ♡
When I came in, I saw Albert and Simon watching cartoons on the sofa. As soon as Simon saw my tearful face, he stood up and rushed over to me, nearly flying Albert off the couch.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? "Simon almost shouted at me and searched me for injuries.
"Magee. . . . . .” My voice was hoarse and it felt like I hadn't had a drink for over a week.
"Come on, Lauren, speak up! ” "He cried gloomily.
"Magee and Polly are kissing! ” I rushed out. Saying these words reminded me of their kiss and made me open my eyes again. Bella hugged me, and Simon paced up and down.
"Mama of! I knew that bastard would screw up one day.” "He said angrily, his fists pounding and struggling to breathe normally. He paused and focused on Bella, his eyes hardened as he mumbled these words.
"Bella, grab tape, a knife, grab gloves, and make sure you grab the trash bags so we can dump the body in! ”
"Guys, you're not going to kill him! ” I gasped.
"We know you love him, but you can find a new lover later.” Simon laughs evilly, trying to reason, maybe trying to kill Magee.
'No, we won't kill him! I shouted.
"Well, guys, who's that Magee guy you're talking about? ""Albert asked, looking at us, puzzled. I forgot he was here.
Simon rolled his eyes as he turned his attention to Albert.” Can you follow your train of thought? He's the asshole that went after Lauren's at the party you took us to.”
Albert suddenly realized, "Oh, that guy, he's hot! ”
Simon and I stared at him with hatred as he laughed at our expressions. Even though Magee did what he did, I couldn't stop loving him. I think I couldn't even stop loving him. I was so in love. Before I could say anything to Albert, the phone rang. I picked it up without looking at the caller and yelled at it.
"What? "
"Lauren? ""Said a man's voice.
"Er, yes, who is this? "I asked angrily. It's just not my day. I just want to sleep and pretend it's all a dream.
"This is Terry. Magee has had an accident. I think you should come.” He spoke the words quickly. As soon as he said those words, I felt the air coming out of my lungs and I stopped breathing and started to panic. I can hear grunts in the background that sound like Magee.
"Are you calling my baby for me? "I heard him mumble and then a loud bang.
"Wait, where are you? I rushed out and headed for the door.
"We were at the after-game party.” Terry said before swearing softly.
"Well, I'm on my way.” I said before hanging up.
I looked back at Bella and Simon. I could tell they were confused as they waited for me to tell them what had happened.
"Magee's in trouble! ” I told them in panic.
"Shit, you want us to go with you? "Simon rushed out, already grabbing his jacket.
"No, I'd better go alone.” "I whispered. I don't want to drag them into Magee's mess with me.
"Well, at least let Albert drive you.” Simon said, and looked over at Albert to confirm.
"I don't mind.” Albert shrugged.
I nodded and said goodbye to Simon and Bella. Albert and I set off and got into his jeep. I gave him directions and we went to the party. Albert was driving so fast that I had to hold onto the dashboard to keep me from flying out of the car.
We got there in about ten minutes and I stayed in the car for a minute to recover my breath. I smiled and asked Albert if he would wait here for me, but he insisted on coming with me. We nodded to him, got out of the car and walked toward the building where the party was.
We were about to step onto the lawn when I saw Terry dragging a wild Magee. I stopped to tell Albert that we should wait here. I can hear Magee swearing here and I wonder who he insulted so cruelly. As Magee shakes violently, Terry struggles to pull him out.
Terry found us and said something to Magee that made him glare. He freed himself from Terry's arms and walked towards us angrily. When he reached us, he held Albert tightly by the neck and gave me an unguarded look.
"What the fuck are you doing with my girl? "'HE shouted. ' I can smell alcohol on him. I don't know how much he's had to drink. '
"Dude, calm down! Terry yelled as he rushed to pull Magee away from a terrified Albert.
"What's wrong with him, Terry? "I asked Magee, looking in horror. I've never seen him so angry. He looked like a beast ready to eat. And on top of that, he looks like he just got out of a boxing match.
"I don't know, he's been in a bad mood since the game. He's drunk now and fighting with one of the guys.” Terry explains.
"The guy wouldn't have agreed to leave if I hadn't told you to pick him up here.” Terry added, pointing his finger at Magee and staring at me with interest. I blushed when I understood what he said.
"I'm not fucking drunk! ” Magee yelled, but as he tried to keep his balance, he rocked.
"Why are you so stupid? I asked him angrily.
"Why did you run away from me? "He asked me sadly, tears in his eyes.
'Because you kissed Polly! I yelled at him.
"I didn't kiss her, baby, and I would never do that to you.” He said.
"Then why didn't you break the kiss? "I muttered, remembering that he hadn't interrupted quickly enough.
"I was shocked. Before I knew it, you were gone.” "He muttered and staggered. Terry straightened him up and started walking with him.
Terry smiled and said, "As much as I'd love to hear you two talk about your problems, this is not the right place.”
"Yes, you are right.” I smiled softly. Albert looked at me and rubbed his throat gently, making me feel guilty. But when he gave me a comforting smile, it all went away.
"Where are you taking him? "I asked Terry when I saw them approaching Albert's jeep.
"I wonder if you could take him to his attic? I don't have a car.” "He told me, and put Magee in the jeep.
"Well, what about you? "I asked him, and I followed him into the jeep. Albert followed me.
He said seriously, "I have some things to take care of, so I won't come, just take care of my best friend, ok? ".
"I will.” I promised.
