Bring me to life (The golden collection) (40 page)

             
“Why would you say that?” Amy asked she was much braver than I was. In fact if she had something to say she would come out with it.

             
I tilted my head to the side and took  in a deep breath.

             
Blake rose from the bed looking calm then all of a sudden he threw the whiskey bottle at the wall. It crashed into it and smashed into a thousand pieces.

             
Something was wrong?

             
Apart from the obvious....

             
He let out a blood curdling scream and I watched the pain flash across his face. His hands grabbed hold of his hair. He looked like he was about to rip his hair out of his scalp.

             
Still.. He hadn't answered Amy's question.

             
I shook my head. I couldn't bare to see him in this state. I know I didn't love him but I wasn't cruel. I had played a big part in his heart breaking pain.

             
In fact, we were both as bad as each other.

             
We had both lied, cheated and hurt each other.

             
I walked over and wrapped my arms around him. I felt him give a sigh of relief. I looked up and his eyes were staring down at me. They looked sad and I could see tears welling up.

             
I had never seen Blake cry before?

             
“Tell me” I begged tightening my grip of him.

             
He looked up from me and backed away from my hug. Maybe he couldn't handle my touch? He sat back down on the bed and placed his head in his hands. He took a deep breath and looked back up. With both hands he wiped his tears away. Me and Amy stood in complete silence.

             
“I hit her!!!” He gave a hysterical laugh and then looked down at his hands. “I HIT HER!!”

             
“Hit who...” Amy asked then we looked at each other and it clicked. “You?” Amy looked stunned and Blake gave a little nod.

             
“You assaulted your mother?” I asked while putting my hand to my mouth.

             
“Yes” he confessed. He got up and started to walk towards me. I  couldn't be near him. Why did he do that? Oh my god, poor Maxwell was at the police station being charged for it. All along it had been Blake and he was roaming around drinking.

             
“Please... George... You have to listen I had a reason!”

             
“ There is no reason to inflict pain on another person, Blake!! Maxwell is at the police station being questioned about what you did. He could lose everything.” I ran my hands through my hair. I couldn't believe I had doubted him.

             
“It was Her!!” he yelled, he fell to my feet and began to cry. “I heard them talking in her office.”

             
“Heard who talking?” I spat.

             
“Maxwell and Mum” he sobbed.

             
“What was Maxwell doing there?” Amy asked walking to my side. Blake looked up at us. We both had our arms folded and were glaring down at him. He didn't answer just looked back down at his hands.

             
What did he hear?

             
Why would Maxwell go to see Mrs Waterman?

             
“BLAKE!!!” I screamed. “What were they talking about?”

             
He looked back up at me and his face went white. It was something bad I could already feel it. He coughed and shifted slightly. Was this painful for him?

             
“She paid him... She paid him to hire us and seduce you. Veronica isn't pregnant and I never slept with her. She drugged me in Ibiza and that's why I can't remember anything about it.”

             
I  felt like someone had punched all the air out of body. I wanted to run but my legs wouldn't move. Had I actually heard him right?

             
“She paid him 2.5 million to break us up” he placed his head in his hands and began to cry again. “Anyway, I saw Maxwell go and I entered her office. She made out I had heard everything wrong. She began with her shit again and I just saw red. I picked up this statue thing and just....”

             
Amy crouched down next to him and hugged him. I still couldn't move or talk.  Everything  I thought I knew had gone. Maxwell being paid by the witch?? It made me feel sick. Surely he wasn't that cold and heartless? Did he not love me? Was I just a 2.5 million price tag.

             
I felt my eyes well up and I thought about all the time I had spent with Maxwell.

             
Did he lie every time??

             
I truly loved him without no doubt. Everything didn't make sense... He had the American contract so why did he need the money?

             
Or maybe I didn't know nothing about him?

             
My mind returned to the odd coldest he would show me! Okay, so maybe he was hot and then cold...

             
But all the extra bits he did?

             
The trip to Cannes, the hotel room, the necklace and most of all the screen saver... You wouldn't do that for someone you didn't love????

             
You would for 2.5 million!!
God that voice really did piss me off!!!

             
I couldn't believe I was going to say this even after Blake's revelation... But at the end of the day I wanted Maxwell and I loved him too much to see him be punished for something he never did.

             
“You need to go to the police!” I ordered. Blake looked up at me as if I had something out of line. After all he had hit his mother not Maxwell.

             
Why should Maxwell suffer because of him?

             
I felt bad again.

             
The Blake I fell in love with wouldn't hurt a fly?

             
Was this all my fault?

             
Had I created this monster before me?

             
Had I messed up his life?

             
You never told him to hit his mother!!!

             
No, everything had got out of hand and everything was looking like I was the problem. If Blake hadn't been with me then nothing like this would of happened. I was the problem here for everyone. I had to get away...

             
“Amy, ring my Dad and tell him I'll go with him.” The words left my mouth before my  head could  register. She nodded and walked over to the phone.

             
Blake grabbed hold of my legs. “Nooo!!” he screamed pushing his head into me. “You can't leave me Georgina! I did nothing wrong!”

             
I fell to the floor in front of him and with shaky hands I cupped his face. I looked into those beautiful emerald eyes; That for two years can controlled my body and soul. His beautiful face was hurting and I felt bad. This is what I had done...

             
“Please...” I began my own tears falling. “Go to the police and tell them what you did.”

             
He rested his own hands on top of mine. “Have I lost you?”

             
I swallowed hard it didn't help my mouth still felt dry. I bit down on my lip not because I wanted sex for the first time ever.  I was biting my lip because the pain I was feeling now was killing me.

             
I stroked his face with my finger and then traced his lip.

             
For old times sake....

             
I leant forward and our lips locked in a kiss. I would miss him and there was no doubt about that. All the memories we had shared together would stay with me for life. I pulled away and slowly wiped a tear from his cheek. He was still a very beautiful man and he would find someone else. Someone who would give him everything he needed. I just wasn't cut out to be that woman in spite of what he thought.

             
I slowly rose to my feet and looked over at Amy. She had now got off the phone. I looked round the room and  my heart felt heavy. This was it... Everything I had known was gone.

             
“Your Dad will be here in twenty minutes to collect you.” She walked over to Blake and held out her hand. “Come on I will take you to the police station.” Blake gripped hold of her and stood up.

             
“I do love you....” he said before walking away.

             
“Call me as soon as you get there!” Amy ordered.

             
“Amy!” I shouted. She turned to look at me. “Will you make sure Maxwell is okay?

             
“Yes” and with that I was alone.......

*   *    *

              Sign here Mr Thomas.

             
I snatched the pen off him and squiggled on the piece of paper. All fucking night I had spent in that piss stinking cell. Only be told an hour ago they knew it wasn't me.

             
Knob heads!!!

             
I was dying for a cigarette and not to mention fresh air.

             
“Your going to be hearing  from my solicitor!” I grunted reaching out and retrieving my belongings.

             
The policemen gave a little smile and shook his head. “We were only doing our job!”

             
“Can you arrest me for swearing?”

             
He narrowed his eyes and stood straight showing his authorization. “Mr Thomas... After the night you have had I wouldn't blame you.”

             
“Good!” I nodded. “PRICK!!” I screamed at him. “Have a nice day” I smiled and made my way outside. I took a lung full of the fresh air.

             
What a fucking embarrassment!!

             
I took a cigarette out of the packet and placed it between my lips. I quickly lit in and inhaled my nicotine fix. I began to make my way up St Aldates.

             
“MAXWELL!!!” a voice screamed. I looked behind me and that Amy woman was running towards me. What was she doing here? Where was Georgina? Surely by now she would of known I had nothing to do with the assault. 

             
“What are you doing here?” I exhaled the smoke and she tried to catch her breath. “Where's Georgina??”

             
“Spain!” She replied. “She has gone to stay with her Dad.”

             
“What?” I spat... Why had she gone to Spain? Did actually believe I had assaulted that woman? I closed my eyes and felt my fist clench. Once again when things got a little rough she did a runner. I thought I had made her promise never to that again!

             
“Georgina knows everything. Blake told her about the 2.5 million you were paid to seduce her” Amy raised an eyebrow and folded her arms. She looked pissed and so was I. “Blake heard you talking to his mother! He was the one who hit Mrs Waterman. You should be ashamed with yourself. She loves you and you treated her badly.”

             
“I gave the money back!” I yelled.

             
“Oh well... That makes everything okay” she laughed sarcastically. “Come... I said to Georgina I would make sure your okay.” She rolled her eyes. “Don't have a clue why she cares... I would of left you rotting!”

             
I narrowed my eyes. I didn't want to go with her... I threw the cigarette butt on to the floor and I had that feeling again. Same feeling I always had when I need Georgina.

             
No!

             
I couldn't stay here knowing she was there thinking I was cold and I didn't love her. I ran my hands down my face. I had to be with her. I had to bring her back here and she had to be with me no matter what.

             
“Where in Spain?” Amy shrugged her shoulders. I grabbed hold of her and looked her directly in the eye. “Amy... This is not a game... I need to see her and apologize. I can't live without her Amy!!” My  voice was desperate. Just like I was desperate to be close to the woman I loved.

             
Amy's mouth opened wide. “Oh my god... You really do love her?”

             
“More than words can explain... Will you help me? Please..” I begged.
