The Sound of Revenge

Jarrod and Darcy

Darcy took my hand and we raced up the escalators. We ran through the mall, dodging innocent shoppers as carefully as possible. Not carefully enough. I ran into one, fell to the ground and looked up into Jarrod’s eyes. He smiled his devilish smile.
“Samantha. Fancy running into you here with, oh is this Darcy?” said Jarrod. Darcy pulled me onto my feet.
“You ok?” asked Darcy.
“Yeah I’ll be fine. We have to go find Laura” I said turning to leave. Jarrod was too fast though. His hand grabbed my arm. I shuddered.
“You must be Jarrod. I’ve heard about you a little too much. If you have enough sense you will leave and stay away from Sam from now on” said Darcy.
“Come on Darcy, we have to go” I said pulling his arm.
“I only want to talk to you Samantha. It’s important” said Jarrod looking concerned.
“Well you’ll have to talk to me later. My friend is in trouble and we have to go.”
“I know. I saw it happen. It was Gabe. Now will you talk to me for 5 minutes?” asked Jarrod. I felt paralysed. Gabe was back. What had he done? I fell back on the floor.
“She’s not going to talk to you. She’s right we have to go. I would like to have a full conversation with you actually but as you perfectly well know, we don’t have time” Darcy said, helping me up again.
“If you want her to stop coming back to you with wounds I suggest you let her talk to me” said Jarrod. He pulled my arm.
“Get off me” I said, pushing him away. I leaned into Darcy. He smelt safe, but I could now smell the presence of Jarrod which made me quiver.
“Fine. Talk to her but only if I’m with her” said Darcy.
“No. I have to tell her something alone. It’s about Drew.” I instantly was interested. I hadn’t had the chance to apologise to Drew. I had tried but he was giving me the cold shoulder. He didn’t ignore me, which in a way would have been better because instead he pretended that we had never been close, ever. Which broke my heart.
“Let me speak to him. I’ll be quick. You call Ryan again while I’m gone” I said, though I was unsure about what I was doing. Darcy grabbed my hand and thread my fingers between his. He squeezed my hand tightly before I was lead over to the emergency exit by Jarrod.
