Chapter 5
Vaughn's POV
I stood outside Sydney's house for awhile. I keep reaching for the doorbell, then pulling back right at the last minute.
After the sleepless night I had last night I had to talk to her. She had the right to know everything. That I never, or will love Lauren, that Kendall ordered me to 'get-to-know' Lauren; I never wanted any of it.
Sure it was fine, for the start, and then Kendall told me. He told me that Sydney was still alive, living under the alias of Julia Thorne. Kendall told me that I wasn't under any circumstances to try and locate her, because as he said that I could blow her cover and then the Covernant would kill her.
Now I could hold back anymore. I had to tell her everything, with no holding back. Finally I pressed the doorbell. I heard the bell chime and footsteps coming towards the door.
Sydney stared at me. "What do you want?" she asked after a long time.
"Syd, we need to talk" I began
"Talk, talk. You have to be kidding me right? Vaughn you did all the talking in Paris that night. So tell me was all that just lies to get me into bed? Or did you decide that poor Sydney, she needs some comfort after what she's been through? Well let me tell you Michael the times I needed someone to support me, no-one was ever there. It was always me, alone. Sure my dad was there for me, but a girl needs someone to love her and look after her when she was sick. And let me tell you something Mr. Vaughn..."
"Sydney" I tried again
"No you want to talk, so I'm talking," she said "So yeah Vaughn I was sick, I had bloody breast cancer, and did anyone seem to care? No, sure a got a bunch of flowers from Dixon occasionally, and some phone calls from Weiss, but did anyone actually want to come and see me? No. Ok. I was alone and now you think that you can just come back when its right for you, you want to talk well you know what I just won't listen" with that she slammed the door in my face, I could hear her crying.
So I rang the doorbell again, "GO AWAY!" she yelled
"SYDNEY, LET ME IN PLEASE"
She ignored me so again I yelled, "PLEASE SYD LET ME IN"
"I TOLD YOU TO GO AWAY!"
"SYD, PLEASE"
When there was no answer from inside I started banging even harder on the door, "SYDNEY, PLEASE JUST LET ME IN!"
I smiled when she opened the door, but my smile faded once I saw the gun in her hand.
It was then when the shot was fired.
A/N-Again still another cliffhanger. Once again the reviews have been great, I still haven't got much idea on who fired the shot, so if you have any suggestions, let me know. Thanks everyone.
