The Ghost From Our Past

I didn't sleep, after I got out of the shower I curled up in the corner of the room. Figuring Matt would return, I didn't bother getting dressed. My knees pressed tightly into my chest, my head shoved between them. Silent tears fell, I couldn't take more of this.

Matthew thinks I wanted him, that I said 'I love you' to him. I've cheated on Syn, brought him into this nightmare, kissed Gerard while he was married, ruined his marriage and destroyed Gerard's normal life. Maybe I could convince Matt to leave Syn and kitty James, taking me alone to take this punishment I deserve.

This is all it was, my punishment for the crimes I've done. Time was passing by but I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I didn't hear anyone come in. I barely felt hands lift me off the floor and onto the bed. The voice was muffled, I was numb from my entire body to my mind. I stared off blankly, there was a shadow in front of me but I couldn't make it out.

I could hear my breathing, shallow. My heart beating, slow. Soon everything shut down and what I prayed was enteral darkness overcame me. Of course I wasn't that lucky.

My eyes opened up to the bright beautiful sun shining through the car window. Music was playing with Matt singing along to the lyrics. I almost gave out a sarcastic laugh when I realized what song was actually playing.

"When you go would you have the guts to say 'I don't love you, like I loved you yesterday'." He was singing a My Chemical Romance song, not only that but the most ironic song for this situation. When the song ended I lifted my head to finally reveal I was awake. "Hey there beautiful, sleep okay? You had me worried for awhile there, thought I lost you."

"What happened?"

"I went into your room to get you ready to leave, you were naked curled up in a corner. Your breathing was shallow and your pulse was slowing, then you fainted. Last night was too much for you, wasn't it?" I wasn't sure how to respond, a voice behind me scared me out of my trance.

"What happened last night?" I turned to see Syn awake and ungagged. His hands were tied behind him, that's when I realized my hands were still untied. "Emily? What happened?"

Matthew started laughing, "her real name is Shiloh and soon she'll look like her normal self again. We both will, at our next stop I'll be picking up supplies."

"Syn, remember I told you I had an ex-boyfriend in prison? Well here he is."

"Ex-boyfriend? I think last night removed that 'ex' part sweetie."

"So you had sex with him? He kidnaps us and you reward him, and what did he do to end up in prison?"

I looked at Syn who was fueling with rage, then I looked at Matt who had a smug smirk on his face. My head smacked against the window, "can we just drop it please, I'm feeling sick." We drove in silence, it was making me uncomfortable and I wanted to scream. After an hour I
couldn't take anymore, "someone please say something, I can't take this silence."

"How about, you're a whore." I hated that word, that's what Matthew had called me the night him and Zacky raped me. However, he was right, wasn't he? Sure I've only slept with three men in my life but I had sex while dating someone else. Matthew was a monster and I was his whore, just a beast and a harlot.

"Don't fucking call her that again." I noticed Matt was gripping the steering wheel again. The silence returned, after fifteen minutes we came upon a shopping center. Matthew drove around until he found the store he was looking for. Without a word he got out and went inside.

"Syn, I'm sorry. Last night I asked him to stop. I love you and never wanted you apart of this." He didn't respond, Matt returned with a sack in hand. "What did you get?"

"It's a surprise!"
---------------------------------------------
"Daddy I want pizza." Bandit stared at me with her big doe eyes, she looked just like a miniature version of Lindsey. She smiled at me and pouted her lips. "Please daddy." There was no way I could tell her no, I picked up my phone and ordered a large extra cheese pizza. We sat at the kitchen table coloring while we waited for the pizza.

My mind wasn't into it though, I could only think about Shiloh. She was still in California but not for much longer. I'd look up to see where the Linkin Gas and Go was after Bandit was in bed. After the phone call with Shiloh, I drove home to meet a very angry Lynz. She said I wasn't being responsible and needed to start acting like an adult. I just let her say what she wanted, easier then trying to explain everything.

'B' started humming a melody, it was simple but had a nice flow. I took in the little song and started adding lyrics. As I sang, she hummed louder and started smacking the table in time with the beat. Did the song make sense? No, but it was our song. We were really into the song, both of us smiling and that's when I noticed she had my smile.

"This rainbow above us - - - The colors we see - It makes no difference to me - - - Bandit my heart is yours- - - Cats can't compare to my love for you - This much I know is true."

The doorbell rang, "looks like pizza's here." She clapped her hands as I headed to the door. As I opened it I asked, "alright how much do I owe ya?" That's when I saw Officer Pierre standing in front of me. "Oh I'm sorry."

"Is this a bad time?"

"No, sorry I lost track of time and forgot you were coming. So, come on in." He walked in, Bandit stood peeking out from the kitchen. "It's okay Bandit, come here." She slowly walked over, holding on to my leg, he smiled at her shyness. "Bandit this is Officer Pierre Bouvier, he's a friend of Shiloh's."

"Shiloh? Is she okay? I really miss her."

I knelt down by her, "we're going to find out if she's okay. Why don't you go paint something amazing and I'll get you when dinner arrives." She nodded and skipped out of the room. "Follow me, we can talk in my office." We walked into my office room, he removed his coat and sat down.

"Thank you for seeing me, I've come across new information that my partner had found out before his death."

"I'm sorry to hear about that, losing someone close can't be easy. He sounded like a great man."

"Samuel Winchester was a great man, he was a hunter. If someone escaped he would hunt them down until they were found. He took an interest in Ms. Davis files, wanted to learn everything there was. That's when he came upon this new piece of information."

The doorbell rang again, "I'm sorry, if you'll excuse me." I left my office, welcomed the pizza man, paid for it and called Bandit into the kitchen. She asked if I was going to eat wit her and explained the best I could that I wouldn't tonight. "Bandit, I promise that tomorrow you and me will have a daddy/daughter day. Okay? Whatever you want." She was happy with that, I kissed her forehead and went back to my office.

Pierre was looking through my art when I coughed to let him know I returned. "Shiloh always talked about you, said you we're talented artist. You were friends of the father to Mr. Price correct?"

"Yes I was, I was heartbroken to hear he took his life. What was it you needed to talk to me about in private. As you see I have my daughter and I'm not trying to win 'Worst Dad' award."
"I'm sorry, I'll get to the point. How well did you know Matthew Price?"

"I met him several times throughout his father and what his dad told me about him. Seemed like a normal sweet boy, but I guess people aren't always what they seem."

"Mr. Way..."

"Gerard please." He continued to search my office, almost looking for clues.

"Gerard, how well did you know Henry Price?"

"I've already said I was friends with him. We would play games and hangout, our families knew each other well." This entire thing seemed pointless, and I was getting frustrated. "Look, if you don't mind telling me what it is you want to tell me."

"Has Shiloh called you?"

"Yes she did, how did you know?"

"I knew you would be the first person she called. Were you planning on keeping this information from us forever? What did she say?"

"She said he was taking them to New Jersey, and when she called they were stopped at a gas station. Linkin Gas and Go to be exact." He took out a little notepad and started scribbling his notes down. "Now if you have nothing to add....."

"Gerard, did you know Matthew has a brother?"
