Chapter 12:

Harrys pov

"Matisse?'' I said shocked. He gandered at the little square tiles on the kitchen floor. "I shouldn't be here, if they see me, I'm dead.'' He whispered. "I get it.'' I opened the door further, to let him in. "Did you get a letter?'' He asked. I nodded and swallowed. "You didn't open it did you?'' I shook my head. "Good.'' The tone he spoke in didn't sound convincing, as if it was really good. "Who is this?'' Tom asked as he strolled into the kitchen. "I'm Matisse. I'm here to warn you guys. Black rose is planning something big.'' He moved his head back and forth still glancing at the rusty blue tiles. "What?'' I knew he couldn't tell me much, but it was worth a shot. "He only said that his unfinished business would be dealt with soon.'' I stepped back, the soda can that I was grasping onto fell instantly to the floor. My heart started racing. "Un-finished business as in E-." I couldn't finish my sentence, my body went numb when I looked into his eyes. Tom walked over to keep me steady. "W- when?'' I stuttered. "I don't know, I've been out of it for that case, I'm only the maker remember.''

Elina ambled in and as soon as she saw Matisse, She looked like she wanted to run away. "What are you doing here?'' She asked nervously. "Harry knows. I should leave.'' He walked back to the door. "I'm sorry Elina. I didn't-" He walked out the door without finishing his sentence. "What did he say?'' My head started spinning, I didn't know whether to tell the truth or lie. Neither was good for her. I looked at Tom for an answer, but he looked just as confused and unknowingly like me. "Tell me Harry, now.'' Elina was getting angry; she was remembering what happened last time. "Black rose is going to finish his unfinished business.'' I said quietly. Elina pushed herself up upon the coffee table. "Harry.'' She said my name in a way I never heard her speak before. Her eyes were becoming blood red and puffy. I instantly got to her, I saw that she wouldn't be able to stand much longer. Tom still seemed confused about what was going on. "Harry.'' Elina said once again with the same tone. "Not again.'' She whispered. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you.'' I replied. She hugged me tightly. "What's going to happen now?'' Tom asked, still standing in the same spot. "I don't know.'' I turned to him while releasing Elina with one arm. "I know he doesn't work fast, but it's affective. That should give us some time.'' I sighted. "Can you trust him? I mean, that is Matisse?'' I nodded. "You can trust him, he has helped me before.'' I replied. "Without him, I wouldn't be here.'' Elina blurted out. She lifted her top revealing a scar on her right hip. "If Matisse wasn't there, A knife would have gone directly to my heart.'' Tom's eyes got bigger, as he stepped closer to her. "Don't worry, nothing will happen to you ever again.'' Tom hugged Elina. I don't know who needed the hug the most, Tom or Elina.

When the others got back home again, we told them everything and started to discuss solutions. We all knew that the police wouldn't be a good thing nor could we stay alone. "How about running away?'' Dougie suggested. "They'll follow us.'' Elina replied. "There is nothing we can do.'' I said. "Only wait and hope his anger is over before he acts.'' Elina continued. "And back then, it was always like that?'' Danny asked. I nodded. "Yeah, only back then I was the one who was making the plans.'' My stomach started to flip over, thinking about what I did to all those people. "What did you do?'' Tom asked. "I was the planer, I needed to figure out who delivered where and made sure the people who didn't deliver were punished the right way.'' The look on the guy's faces went pale as a ghost. "Like kill?'' Dougie asked a bit timid. "No, I needed to make sure they paid us back and if they couldn't they were sent to Black rose who..., but he never killed anyone as far as I know.'' I replied. "Lucky you're out of there.'' Tom smiled with a pad on my back. "Yeah don't worry mate, as scary as it is, you're not going to be alone.'' Danny said smiling. A smile appeared on my face, I didn't even disserve those guys, but I'm grateful for them and Elina. "And neither are you, Elina'' Lauren shrugged.

"Can I come in?'' Katie asked, opening the door slightly. "Sure.'' Tom smiled. "What's wrong?'' She asked, when she saw the expressions on our faces. "Long story.'' I replied smiling a bit. Katie walked to Dougie and sat next to him. "Halo love.'' She smiled. Dougie put on an awkward smile and kissed her as she moved closer to his lips. "Hallo.'' He smiled. Soon the conversation changed to the recording studio and how awesome it was. "I really can't believe it's been two days already.'' Tom said. "Neither can I, it's going to be goodbye normal life and hello rock star life.'' Danny laughed. We heard knocking at the door. "I'll go.'' CJ smiled. "It's Emer.'' They both strolled into the living room. "Hi!'' She said excitedly. CJ walked back over to Tom and Emer squeezed her way into the other side next to Dougie. You could tell he was confused and didn't know what to do next. You could see he wanted to change his focus onto Emer, but he didn't want to hurt Katie. "Dougie, can we talk?'' I asked. He nodded and followed me outside. "What's up mate?'' He asked. "I think you know, about Emer and Katie?'' I replied, he sighted. "It's just that I don't know. I want both.'' We both sat down on the chairs, they were still damp from the rain earlier. "You can't keep playing them both Dougie, they're not dolls.'' I said. "I know.'' He shrugged. "But they're both so amazing and beautiful. I can't make up my mind.'' I smiled and replied. "You better decide soon or you'll end up with none of them and a bunch of misery. Believe me. That's the power a girl has.'' He nodded and got up from the chair, we both started towards the door "Thanks mate.''
