Chapter Forty-Nine
After I was done in the shower, where I hoped and prayed the smell of pizza was off my body, I walk out to see both guys still in the living room. They were stood up standing in front of the tv, where with how the people are talking I guess it's the news.
'Is there anymore updates?" I ask walking over to the two guys so I could also see, Roman looks over as I come to a stop beside him.
'No yet, but they said there'll be a huge update in a few minutes" he explains looking back towards the tv, he soon wraps his arm around my shoulders as we both stand there and wait.
'Were you able to get the pizza smell away?" Austin asks trying to break the long silence that kept appearing, his comment alone makes me laugh and look to the side of Roman so I could see him.
'With a lot of body wash, yes" I laugh holding my arm up for him to smell, he leans over smelling my arm saying yep it's gone. 'I was just thinking in the shower, now the car Markus gave you got destroyed, you're back to square one" I say not wanting him to feel bad over it, he sighs nodding his head looking over at me.
'Yeah I know, for some reason any car that I drive enjoys to catch fire" he says placing his hands in his pockets, I could tell from his reply that he was only trying to make light out of the situation.
'I better buy some fire resistant products to use on my car then" Roman jokes which only makes us all laugh again, but he soon shakes his head looking back towards the news again. 'I've been watching the news non-stop since it happened, they say it's only this town that it's happened to. Some high end houses basically, at the same time for reasons they still don't know yet" he explains while my eyes go wide, that sounds suspiciously like the same houses that we were delivering the packages to last night.
I move my head slightly so I could see Austin again, who was also looking at me wearing the same expression. This telling me alone, he was thinking the same thing I was. This can't just be a coincidence!
'I'm just happy you two managed to get home safe" Roman says holding me a little tighter as he went, I smile placing my head on him as I went.
Before any of us could talk, the news saying it has updates causing us all to look over. The man on the tv telling us some updates.
'There is an update on the chaos that took place last night, it has been confirmed that a series of explosions occurred in multiple locations at the same time" the man says which only makes my thoughts wonder again, this has to be connected with what Austin and I were made to do last night. 'The police are treating this as an act of violence from one of the gangs that operate around the town" the man's says before they cut to videos of the damages, but the houses were destroyed so much that I couldn't make out if it was one of the houses we went to.
'Could this have been Markus?" Roman asks looking between Austin and I, I look away from him to Austin not knowing if I should answer that question.
'You never know what Markus could have his hands in, but as you know we were with Markus last night" Austin says before I could answer the question, I guess we're not going to tell Roman then.
'What has this town come to?" Roman asks which only scares me of what could happen to this town, I place my head on Roman's chest thinking about it. Roman seems to understand this and holds me even tighter in his arms.
'You will never know how much I love you" he whispers down to me just as the door knocks, Austin says he'll get it which only makes Roman tense and sigh slightly.
'Is Roman in?" A man's voice asks, this voice alone was so familiar to me but for the life of me, I didn't have a clue on who it was at that moment.
Roman leans down and places a kiss on my head, before pulling away from me and turning to look at the front door. A man walks in who I soon realise was Jacob, my eyes go wide as I watch him walk into the house with policemen behind him.
'Roman, you're going to have to come with us" he says which makes me more than confused, I look between the two men trying to work out what as happening.
'Why?" I ask looking mainly at Roman who looked at me sadly, what in the heck is going on right now?!
'Let's make this easy, just come on" Jacob says walking towards Roman, he does make eye contact with me as he went but that didn't give me any clues.
'Until somebody explains to us what's going on, no" Austin says trying to defend Roman, but the officers push passed Austin and grab Roman who tries to fight them off.
'What's going on?" I ask beginning to cry as I watch them drag Roman out, who wasn't going down without a fight.
'Listen to me Payton, no matter what you hear or see just remember that I only did what I did to make a life for us!" Roman says fighting against the officers, tears were just rolling down my cheeks as I looked at him.
'What are you talking about?" I ask watching him fight his hardest, this officers really aren't winning any kind of battle.
'It doesn't matter, just remember that I will always love you" he tells me as they nearly get him out her door, but I shake my head still not understanding. 'Promise me that you'll look after Payton while I'm gone!" He shouts towards Austin, Austin looks confused taking a look over to me than make at Roman he shouts again.
'Yeah of course I promise" Austin says at a lost on what he should do, as soon as he said he promised Roman stopped fighting and allowed the officers to take him out.
Austin looks at me before running after them, which left me and Jacob in the house just staring at each other.
'Please tell me what's going on?" I beg whilst the tears still ran down my cheeks, Jacob looks behind him to make sure no one was coming before turning to look at him.
'I will pick you up tomorrow and explain everything" he tells me which wasn't an answer, but was better than nothing.
I nod my head at him before running passed, I couldn't let Roman leave like that. I run down the stairs where Roman was being placed in a police car, Austin watching him from the pavement. As I get to the bottom, Jacob runs passed us and jumps in the car. Where within a few seconds, it was driving away.
We watch as they turn the corner, before I'm pulled into a hug and I just cry on against Austin's chest.
