Chapter Six

Chapter Six

"I honestly have no idea why it's empty" I say which was actually the truth, last time I left it, it was full!

"Weak dude, you gonna say something?!" Boss man John shouts towards a hurt Brendon, he isn't weak you just attacked him!

"We had....no idea this was here, but we live....with three other people" he tells them, he was basically giving the guys up to them "maybe one of them have took it and......didn't tell us" he continues before laying his head back in pain, this was also a true fact.

"You know what you're doing? Wasting my time, but I hear ya, someone might have took it I understand, I'll be back in three days and my money better be in there" he says knelling down to talk "and it better be here or well" he whispers, I just nod terrified where he strokes my cheek "see you soon" he winks before him and his two henchmen follow him out the attic.

Once I hear they leave I check a very hurt Brendon , he starts to sit up by himself slowly still clutching his stomach. I get up running over to the chest which was fully empty, someone took all the money out without even cutting the lock.

"Call everyone home, urgent house meeting" Brendon says rising to his feet, oh boy.

In no time again everyone but Cam were sat in the half done sitting room, he didn't want to be a part of this, so I didn't want him to worry or drag him into it.

"Why are we here again? Maybe you two don't have social lives, but that doesn't mean you keep pulling us away from ours" Belle yells to me annoyed, Brandon makes his way in face all beaten up holding his stomach.

"Oh Belle, I didn't want to be here either but one of you have messed with something you shouldn't, causing this" he says slowly walking over to sit beside me, both of them just looked in horror as he sat down.

"What happened?" Danny asks finally paying attention looking at his brother, Brendon still didn't look great.

"The men came back and this time, they brought the big boss, he did this as soon as he walked in the door" Brendon starts to tell the story, but shakes his head continuing "we went upstairs to the chest, to find it completely empty! Someone went up there last night and took all the money" he tells them, immediately they look at each other shocked than back at us "he's coming back in three days to get his money, if he doesn't well look at this, this was done before he knew it was gone!" Brendon shouts over at the guys, I mean it was justifiable shouting let's be honest.

"Well it wasn't me, I know I said I'd take it for uni, I'd never actually do it!" Danny says defending himself, this made all eyes move to Belle.

"I didn't do it, like you said I can get any money I want by a click of the finger, why would I need that?" She asks looking at us but than stops "and anyway why are just questioning us, how do we know you didn't take it and now don't wanna give it back?" She asks looking at both of us, really she's trying to turn it around on us?!

"We were together last night, ask Cam he was up late making one of his weird models, he would have seen us" I say which causes them both to look at us in a weird way, why are they looking like that?

"And why the fuck would we let ourselves go through what we did if we took it? Just own up, or you've spent it and can't give it us back" Brendon shouts looking towards Belle, okay we are now all jumping to conclusions with no proof "nice earrings, are they new?" He asks her spitefully, which immediately makes her lose the plot.

"I brought these last week thank you!" She shouts but Brendon shakes his head standing up, rather slowly though.

"I don't trust you" is all he says before taking off up stairs, Belle chases after him shouting for him stop, which he doesn't listen to.

In no time we arrive at her room, where Brendon smacks the door open, he starts throwing things around the room looking for the money. Belle screams at him to stop and starts to actually smack him, he's already injured enough!

"Oh how new! Treated yourself with the money you were told you couldn't have" he shouts tipping her new shopping bags on the floor, it spills out everywhere.

"I brought them days ago! And anyway why aren't you doing this to Danny's room?! He's the one that tried to take the money before anyone!" She shouts pointing over to Danny, who looked rather hurt at even the idea.

"Unlike you Belle, I know what the words, you can't have it mean!" He shouts back causing Belle to scream even louder, this really wasn't getting us anywhere.

"Alright everyone calm down!" I shout trying to be piece maker, which Belle didn't take too kindly to.

"Shut up Paige, you would have taken it if you wasn't with lover boy all night!" She shouts taking her anger out on me "maybe you took it, we know your parents didn't like you so they didn't buy you things, you probably took it to buy all the stuff they didn't!" She shouts spitefully, this finally hitting a nerve.

Without even thinking I lunge at her knocking her to the ground, Danny quickly pulls me off and away while I try to fight to get out his grip to get her.

"I took it!" A voice says causing everyone to stop and look at the door.

Where Cam stood.

The room was silent for what felt like forever, all of us were just staring at Cam stood in the doorway. Cam rubs his arm with his hand nervously, I could hear Brendon drop the bags from behind me causing me to break out of the frozen trace I was in.

"So you're telling me, you stole the money even when you said you wanted no part to play in it!" Brendon starts to shout annoyed, I move to stand in front of Cam with my arms crossed.

"Before you all start attacking him, let him explain himself" I say defending him, I've known Cam for many years and I know he always has good intentions, even if they cause trouble.

"I took the money as you were all fighting! I didn't want them to continue because...." he says trailing off, I knew what he meant and totally understood why he did it now.

"Because?" Belle asks crossing her arms annoyed, I knew Cam didn't want anyone to know what happened to him, he only told me as he had a breakdown in front of me once.

"He has his reasons, we all just have to respect them but he's gonna give us the money back" I say continuing to defend him, for some reason Belle was trying to act hard.

"I buried it in the garden, there was a hole already there so I tossed it in and left it" he smiles everyone seemed to calm down apart from Brendon, who looked like he was about to puke.

"No you didn't, please tell me you didn't just dump it in the hole out the back" Brendon says literally looking like he was about to cry, Cam just nods not seeing the big deal and to be honest, I didn't either. "I dug that hole yesterday for all the rubbish, this morning I put more rubbish on top and burned it all" he says immediately my heart sunk, we burnt that guys money.

"We're dead" Belle says from across the room, I didn't speak, I couldn't find any words to sum any of this up .
