Hey! I went from nothing to 2 chapters in one day! I wanted to thank my new Beta cammieXzach9900 :D enjoy and review!
"Morgan I know you are confused, but please, let's just get out of here! Please, trust me."
That was all I needed, I ran out the door after Nathan and my dad…
We were all running through the halls, when we came to a "T" in the hall, my dad looked at me with pleading eyes. Nathan took my hand and squeezed it, giving me an encouraging smile.
"Turn right," I said.
We kept running until we got to the door, then we were suddenly blocked by none other than grandma Goode.
"Where do you think you are going?" She said.
Nathan pushed me behind him, blocking me from view. Then the next thing I know, my grandma had Nathan, and is holding a knife to his throat.
"One move and he's dead!" She yelled. I didn't know what to do; the one person I trusted was on the verge of death.
"Morgan, come here, now." She said. When I didn't move she continued, "NOW OR HE DIES!"
I walked forward and as soon as I get there she let go of Nathan and is about to grab me when I hear a gun shot, then another. Then suddenly my grandma was on the ground, dead. It was all too much, men in black came from everywhere and that was it, I fainted.
I woke up in a soft bed, too soft for me to be in the circle. That means, we made it out, but did everybody? I slowly opened my eyes. I was staring into a bright light. I tried to sit up but felt two pairs of hands pushing me back down. I turned my head to see my mom. Her eyes were red from crying. Then next to her was my dad. His eyes were watering and he had a small smile on his face.
"I am so glad you are ok," he said. "We have been fighting for you since she took you."
I took a breath and thought for a second. I could tell he wasn't lying. Maybe they were right, maybe my grandma was the bad one, but then again, I really didn't know them at all.
"You don't know how much we've missed you." My mom. I hadn't talked to her much, but she seemed nice enough. Then I finally asked the question that has been in the back of my mind since I woke up.
"Where is Nathan?"
"In his room." Said my dad.
"Why don't you go up and see him?" My mom continued. My dad was about to object but my mom elbowed him in the ribs. He made a small annoyed noise, but otherwise stayed quiet.
"Ok, I think I will." I climbed out of bed and left my parents alone in the room and walked through the halls of Gallagher.
When I finally reached his room, I didn't even knock. I just walked right in. He was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. As soon as the door closed his head snapped up. When he saw me, he ran to me and wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me.
I deepened the kiss and he slowly walked us over to the bed. We continued to kiss and only broke apart to take his shirt off. He was starting to work my shirt off, when his door opened. I was about to block him from my dad when I realized it wasn't my dad in the door, it was my mom!
I hid my face in his shoulder when she said calmly,
"Morgan, I would like to talk to you for a while. Nathan can I steal her from you?"
Nathan nodded and I got up and followed her out of the room and into a secret passageway.
"Mom I-" I started but was cut off my her.
"Shhh, I'm not mad. Your dad is just protective since he just got you back, he doesn't want you to get your heart broken. I just want to talk to you. I don't want you to do something that you will regret later. I don't think you're ready to take that next step in your relationship. You just lost your grandma, the woman who raised you. You need to take time to grieve."
Wow, ok I'm saying this now. I would much rather be interrupted by mom than dad from now on.
"I also wanted to tell you that we are moving. Away from Gallagher, away from the circle. We are going to Nebraska. We will be staying near my grandparents. We want time together as a family."
Worry immediately filled me.
"What about Nathan?" I asked quickly.
My mom chuckled and told me, "Him, Bex and Grant will be moving there as well. I wouldn't take you from the person you trust most."
She had a sad look in her eyes. I realized that it was hard for me to trust Nathan more than I trusted her.
"Mom I trust you too, it's just," I sighed, "Nathan was more a neutral party. You and grandma Goode were completely against one another. He was like an outside escape."
My mom smiled and went on to explain, "I understand, which is one of the reasons I talked to you about your relationship. I had the same thing. His name was Josh. Although if you ask your dad, his name was Jimmy. I snuck out to see him and eventually got caught and got into trouble, big trouble. I just don't want you to do the same."
I smiled at my mom and left the passageway. I walked to Nathan's room and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He turned and grabbed my hand and together we walked to the dining hall for dinner. You know, maybe all this change was for the best…
