Chapter 4 Secret Slayer!

Tayla's P.O.V

'Tayla' I heard a voice say, I frowned to myself and turned on my side.
'Tayla' The voice repeated. My eyes snapped open to see Michael standing there smiling at me. I blinked at him and then looked around the room, at first I didn't really know where I was and why I was there. But that was until memories from last night came flooding into my head. I sat up and stared at Michael waiting for him to speak.
'I wanted to talk to you. Too sort something out about you running away, I'll let you wake up properly and then you can meet me in the kitchen' He told me, I didn't have time to speak because Michael was out the room in no time. I groaned and stood up, I picked up my phone and checked it. Of course I have a few missed calls and texts of my dad, absolutely none from my 'Step mum'. Just the thought of her made me angry and that is one of the main reasons why I can't go back there. I'm not going back there.

Michael was sat down at the kitchen table drinking coffee. I gave him an awkward smile before sitting down and waiting for him to speak. Michael stared at me with an emotionless face, he placed down his cup of coffee and then eventually broke the silence.
'Tayla I'm going to have to ring your parents' He told me.
I sighed 'Michael please you don't underst-'
'I may not understand Tayla, but your dad and step mum will be worried about you' He interrupted.
I scoffed 'No they wont'
He stared at me 'Have they called you? Messaged you?'
I looked away from him 'No'
'Don't lie' He warned.
'Alright they have' I said.
'Exactly, they are obviously worried about you. Tayla you need to tell them your okay' He says.
'But they will ask me where I am and once they know they will come for me. I don't want to go back there' I tell him. He sighed and looked down when he looked up again his gaze flickered to something behind me. I turned around to see Eve standing there staring back at Michael. I turned back to Michael with pleading eyes.
'I really don't want to go back there' I told him.
'Tayla please' Michael sighed.
'What if we were to call your parents? What would happen then?' Eve questioned.
'Then they would pick me up and take me home, and I would be grounded again' I answered.
'Would you run away again?' She asked me.
'Probably. But I would go somewhere different and further away from home' I told her.
Eve nodded and looked at Michael 'She isn't going to give up Michael, there really is no point'
'But what else are we going to do?' Michael asked her.

'Why doesn't she stay here?' Someone said from the doorway. I spun around to see Shane standing there. everyone's eyes fell on him as his words practically echoed the room.
'Its a good idea' Eve spoke.
Michael shook his head 'No. No way, it's too risky'
'How is it too risky?' I asked him.
'Morganville isn't safe! Plus her parents wouldn't allow it' Michael pointed out.
I frowned 'How is Morganville not safe?'
The room fell silent and everyone stared at each other, avoiding my gaze.
'Michael come on, she's only going to run away again. There's no stopping her, and I know how hard it is to not get along with you parents.' Eve said.
'Maybe her parents will let her. Michael would you rather her be here then some place no one knows about?' Shane asked him.
Judging from the look on Michael's face you could tell he was thinking about it. He looked at me for a moment before speaking again.
'It wouldn't work' He said.
I sighed in frustration and stood up 'You know, it doesn't matter. I shouldn't have come here in the first place'.
I walked into the living room and grabbed my bag.
'What are you doing?' Shane asked me.
'I'm going to get ready' I answered, I walked past him and up the stairs into the bathroom.

I changed into my new clothes and combed through my hair, I grabbed my toothbrush and brushed my teeth. I then took out my makeup bag, I applied some foundation along with some eyeliner and then finished with some mascara. Once I was done I packed my stuff up and then opened the door...only too run into the boy from last night. Chance.
'Watch it!' He snapped.
'Excuse me? You bumped into me!' I spat.
'Course blame it on everyone else but yourself' He said.
'Urgh, just move out my way' I say as I pushed him away from me. I jogged down the stairs and back into the living room. Everyone was awake by now, including Claire. All their eyes landed on me as I walked over to my other back and picked it up.
'What are you doing?' Michael asked me.
'I'm going' I told him.
'Your going? Going where?' Eve questioned me.
I shrugged 'I'll think of somewhere'
'You cant just go' Claire said.
I sighed and looked at them all, I then pulled a fake smile 'I'll be fine, just please don't tell my dad I was here. The last thing I want is them looking for me'.
I turned around and made my way to the door, just as I was about to open it I felt someone stop me.
'Wait' I heard Michael's voice say.
I turned and looked at him waiting for him to say something.
He sighed and ran a hand through his hair 'Tayla I didn't want to let you stay here because Morganville isn't safe. However, I can't let my little cousin wonder about on her own'.
'So...?' I trailer of, hoping he would state his point.
'So...you can stay' He told me.
'Oh my god. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!' I grinned as I dropped my bags and hugged him.
'Did I just hear that right?' I hear Chance say from the stairs. I ignored his comment and walked into the living room.
'But Tayla' Michael said grabbing my arm 'That's if they will let you'.
I smiled and nodded 'Ok'.

'Your letting her stay?' Chance asked Michael.
I smiled and walked over to him 'Yes he is, so you know what this means don't you?'
He frowned at me 'What?'
'We are room mates!' I grinned, I knew me and Chance wasn't going to get along, so pissing him off seemed like a good idea to me.
'Your kidding me' He said as he stared at everyone else.
Shane laughed at him 'You can have girly sleepovers and everything'
'No, this isn't happening' Chance says a he ran a hand through his hair.
'Don't worry, I'm sure we will be best of friends' I smiled at him.
He stared at me 'I'm sure we will'.
I turned around to face Michael 'So when are we calling my parents?'
'Now' He announced as he walked over to the phone. I smiled to myself and crossed my fingers behind my back for a moment. I hope I get to stay here, just as long as I'm away from that house I will be fine. Anyway it seems cool here except from Chance, I mean its clear we are not going to get along. But something tells me that staying here is going to be fun, the thought of making Chance angry made me laugh. But I know he will get me back and we both knew that there is going to be a war between us. Well the war is on.

The story hasn't had a chapter uploaded in ages, so I thought it was about time I added another one to it. I hope you all like it and please comment what you think about the whole Tayla and Chance thing? Any ideas of what I could do between the two of them, any pranks? Please comment your thoughts. Thanks for reading :)
