Chapter 5 Choas ii

When she finally came down from the last bus, Meredith was a bit drained.. she had no idea it would take her this long to arrive... she had to take four buses to get to the closet bus stop to the address

The address was hard to locate and even after taking a bus, she had no choice but to hail a taxi because no other buses were going to that specific location... it felt like she was going to another town... it took the taxi over an hour to get there and by the time they arrived she had a deep frown on her face because of how much the fees were... she felt like she was being slapped across the face as she watched the taxi swipe her card... she would have to work a lot of extra shifts to get that back and she could already feel the exhaustion...

"I should have stayed home...Ii shouldn't have..." She muttered under her breath but trailed off when she finally stood in front of the house... "wow..." Meredith didn't even realise it when the words escaped her mouth... it was a mansion... she was standing right in front of a huge mansion... she had no idea he was this rich... yes he drove a nice car but... now she was more than hesitant to go in... what if the party were filled with rich kids... would they see her as some sort of peasant... How could she go back home after coming all this way... wouldn't he be disappointed if she didn't come... she turned to leave but stopped in her tracks... Meredith sighed deeply as she started to walk towards the house... if the place was too uncomfortable for her, then she was going to leave... she decided...

Meredith cleared her throat and took a deep breath to steady herself before she brought her hand up and pressed on the doorbell of the house... she waited for a few seconds and was about to press the doorbell once again. But before she could she heard a clicking sound and then the door was pushed open... it was Brian... her heart immediately skipped a bit as soon as her eyes fell on him... he was more handsome than ever... and that handsome smile was on his face.... yeah, all those stress was worth it... Brian was silent for a while as he stared at her...

"Wow... you look lovely, Meredith..." Brian said, and Meredith felt the butterflies in her tummy do a backflip...

"Come in.." Brian said and gestured for her to go in... he made way for her and a warm smile appeared on her face as she did, but the smile she had on her face soon dwindled...

Meredith knew immediately she walked in that something was off... the house was completely empty... wasn't it supposed to be a party... she was expecting loud music and everything, but there was none and also no one in sight... the house didn't even have a single furniture in sight... What was going on... her heart started to race in fear and she swallowed when she heard the clicking sound of the door... her heart dropped to her stomach as she slowly turned to look at the door and he was standing right there in front of the door... her warning signals went off immediately and that smile that would have made her giggle like a teenager in love made her feel sick when it appeared on his face... she had let her guard down and walked right into his trap... "I thought there was going to be a party..." Meredith said in a low voice and hated how she sounded in her own ear... she could taste it... that metallic taste of fear... she had filled at hiding her fear...

"No Meredith... there isn't going to be any party here today. I think we both know that already..." Brian replied and she immediately took a step back... yeah she was right! It was a f*cking trap... he started to walk towards and Meredith felt like throwing up... How the hell was she going to get out of this!
