Tom watched his friend walk out of the classroom with a heavy heart. For some reason Tom knew he would not see Alex again. At least not for a while. Sighing Tom tuned in to hear what his classmates made of all this.
"What has the brat done this time?" That, of course, was Mr Blueberry
"I bet those people were some secret organization, came to take Rider to jail" A blonde haired girl with pigtails whispered. Close, Tom thought, but far off.
James, a dark haired boy with blue eyes, snorted "Don't be silly Hannah, what would they want with Rider?"
Tom felt his heart drop even farther at those words, normally he would have made a joke about Alex being abducted by undercover Terrorists but something felt different. Wrong, even. Tom mentally shook himself, he was just being silly. Alex would be back in a month, bruised and battered mind you but alive. Right?
A/N: So sorry for the long wait – and the depressingly short chapter - but I have finally sorted out my life and I'm back and armed with ideas. I have also changed my name to MyfanwyThePteranodon, due to my recent fascination with Torchwood. Anyway, this chapter was more of a filler than anything else but I wanted to put in Tom's POV, not many stories, like this, give you an insight of Tom and his feelings. Also, thanks to all the people who answered my question in Chapter 2 :) I have decided to set the first part of my story in 2002, Alex will still be 14 and because I was such a horrible author here is a sneak of next chapter.
2 years. He wished he could say time had flown by. He was many things but a liar he was not.
