Better Get Out While You Can
Their Holding Hands and Life Was Perfect
Sarah’s POV:
Well drunken bowling was just as ridiculous as I thought it would be. None of us could keep the ball straight. The only reason we all didn’t get straight gutter balls was because the second turn in we had the attendant pull up the guard rails. At one point Gerard tried to belly slide down the lane and that’s when got kicked out. I chuckled to myself as we all stood outside the bowling alley all pretty drunk.
“Well I think Molly and I are gonna go back to her place.” Gerard slurred his words, draping his arm over Molly.
“Yes. We are.” She said through a drunken smirk.
“Well you guys be careful.” Frank smiled gracefully at them.
I waved by to the two drunken idiots I called my friends. Frank and I turned the opposite direction of them and started walking back to the apartment. He nonchalantly draped his arm around my shoulders and I felt the butterflies instantly soar. I still was unsure what was going on, I had no idea. But I knew what I wanted to happen. Ever since I have met Frank he has made feel safe at every moment I have been with him. Except for that one time I freaked out on him, but that was my fault entirely. All I could hear were our feet pattering on the pavement, and Frank’s heavy breathing from the cold air. The streets were empty, I found it odd.
“Tonight was fun.” He said softly, as his breath showed itself in the air.
“Yeah, who knew Gerard was so good at bowling?” I laughed.
“Yeah, he is full of surprises.” Frank said I felt his hand move down to the small of back as he
rubbed it slightly. My spine immediately got the shivers.
“But not as good as me,” I said quickly, trying to keep my cool, “I told you all I would win.” I smiled widely. I have always been really competitive and it was even better when I actually won.
Frank just laughed, and pulled me even closer to him. I could help but smile. We were almost to the apartment when I felt something strange. I felt like someone was following us. It was like in one of those thriller films. I turned my head to look behind Frank and me and saw no one. Once again I was probably just acting crazy.
“What’s wrong?” Frank asked concerned. I was really surprised that he could already read me so well.
“Nothing…I just thought...I”, I looked behind us again, and still saw nothing. I was being crazy.
“It’s nothing, I am just being weird.” I smiled, just blowing it off.
“Whatever you say.” Frank smiled and pulled me even closer. I immediately felt my face turn red and hot.
We arrived at the apartment building and headed straight for the elevator and caught it at the last second. I kind of wished we hadn’t, because we entered the elevator we were greeted be this extremely intoxicated couple who were groping each other like no tomorrow. Frank and I stood in awkwardly across from the couple. The only sound was the sloshing of their mouths. I looked over at Frank who was holding back a smirk. A few short seconds laughter we arrived at Frank’s floor. I immediately ran out of the elevator and started laughing hysterically.
“Oh my god, I can’t deal with that.” I heaved between my laughs.
“Did you hear the sound their mouths were making!?” Frank laughed back as he got his keys out.
“Ew, yes it sounded like an old person chewing food.” I cringed and walked into the apartment as Frank unlocked the door.
It was weird how comfortable I had become here, I wasn’t sure it was a good or bad thing. I definitely wasn’t sure how Frank felt about. I turned around to look at him as he walked in the door, he always had such an optimistic aura around him and it made smile.
“What are you smiling about?” he grinned and made his way to the couch.
“Oh nothing.” I smirked and sat beside him.
“Sooo.” Frank dragged out his word and looked around the room. “What do you wanna do?” he put his arm around my shoulder as he looked at me.
“I don’t know what do you wanna do?” I asked. All I could think about was how beautiful his hazel eyes were, and the more I stared into them the more beautiful they got.
“Well I mean we can watch a movie, play some video games, Gerard just got th---“
I didn’t know what had come over me but suddenly I pressed my lips against Frank’s in the middle of his sentence. I never made any sort of first move ever, but with Frank I didn’t even think it just happened. He quickly started moving his mouth in rhythm with mine. The kiss was soft and sweet. Frank’s lips were soft and felt like satin against mine. He slowly pulled away and moved some hair out of my face.
“What was that about?” he was grinning so widely, it made me chuckle.
“Just thank you again for being so patient with me. I know it isn’t easy. I know it seems a lot harder because we are still getting to know each other, but I appreciate everything you and Gerard have done for me. You two welcomed me into your home without really knowing anything about me. It just shows how caring and genuine people you two are.” I smiled, and felt my heart fill up warmth thinking about the kindness these two men had shown me.
“Sarah, I care about you, and you have been through something no one should ever have to go
through. It’s important for you to be shown that your life doesn’t have to be like that anymore. I am willing to take whatever it is that we have at as slow of a pace as you want.” He said warmly.
I rested my head on his shoulder; he rested his head on mine and wrapped me up in his arms.
“I will always be here for you.” He whispered and kissed me on the top of my head. I sighed with a breath of joy. For about an hour Frank and I just sat on the couch in silence enjoying the happiness we had brought each other.
Peter’s POV:
“You are wasting my time. I don’t even know why I hired you in the fucking first place.” I placed my head in my hands.
I couldn’t believe I was relying on this idiot to find Sarah. I could do a better job than he could. It’s been weeks and still no trace of her. Her phone was disconnected, she hasn’t been to work, and she isn’t in any of the shelters. That bitch must be stupid if she thinks that I won’t be able to find her. She will come home to me where she belongs, and she will pay for the humiliation she has caused me.
“I...I’m...sorry…sir.” The idiot in front of my stuttered, he is so useless I actually forgot that he had been standing there. When I looked up at him he quickly avoided eye contact with me.
“Is that all you have to say?” I looked at him unamused; I was ready for his sorry ass to get the fuck out of my house.
“No, I saw her today.” He said more firmly, obviously proud of himself for bringing semi-useful information.
“Where?” I leaned forward. I couldn’t lie and say he hadn’t spiked my interest.
“At a bowling alley, at first I wasn’t sure because her hair is different, but she was with that woman Molly you showed me a picture of.” He looked down at the floor.
“Anyone else?”
“Yes. Two other men.”
“Fucking whore.” I spat out. Then looked back at the scrawny man in front of me. “Well it seems you are still of some use to me.” I sighed; a bit disappointed I was going to have to tolerate him more.
“Thank you sir.” He seemed like a dog that just go rewarded for going to the bathroom outside.
“Now get out, and do not come back unless you have a location, or you will not leave here ever again.” I felt the anger rise in my bones. I would show that whore exactly who she was dealing with. She will be sorry she ever left me in the first place. She’ll be sorry.
