Mary cried quietly beside me. I was angry. He was planning to take me to South Africa. Such an idiot. Did he think I was going to go with him?

" Mary? Don't cry please. I will get you back home." I said softly and used my leg to touch hers.

" My hands are hurting. The cuffs and the cut." She whispered.

" What? I can't hear you properly." I stared at her. She wasn't looking good at all.

" When we tried to escape, the glass pierced my hand and now, the cuffs are hurting my wrist." She cried beside me.

I sighed and frowned.

" I am so sorry, Mary. Is there anything I can do to help?" I said and tried to reach her. If her hands were left open for too long, she could have infections.

" We are tied up. There is nothing we can do." Her voice sounded low.

" Hey, calm down. I will call someone." I replied and turned towards the door

" Hello! Hey! Please help me! Is anyone out there? We need help here!" I screamed but I got no reply.

" Hello! Someone, help!" I shouted even louder but it felt like they were ignoring us. Maybe they were watching us. I looked up at the window and saw the camera was still hanging there

They knew Mary was in pain and didn't care. How callous.

" Mary, Mary can you hear me? Everything will be fine. All you have to do is take it in and try to ignore the pain. Please, do this for me. I promise you, we will get out of here." I assured her and tried to release myself but the cuffs were hurting me even more.

" Mary? Mary? Are you listening to me?" I said and tried to see her face. She was facing the ground, her hair covering her face. Was she unconscious?

" Please,be fine. Please." I whispered and watched her chest rise and fall. At least, she was alive and that was all they mattered.

All that was happening to her was my fault. I just found a way to attract many people into trouble. I didn't want anything to happen to her.

" I will take you back home. I promise." I said, watching her.

I thought of Aiden. I knew he was going to come the following day but he wasn't going to get me. He was coming for only Mary. I thought of it, it would have been better for me to go with Jake and stop being a problem to everyone that loved me. I was too much trouble and I had to face the issues I had myself. I turned to the camera and sighed. I stared at it for a while, thinking about my decision, knowing fully well that Jake was watching.

" She is hurt. Please. At least, help her with her wound and get her a better place to sleep. I know you can do that for me. Can you just stop being selfish for once and help someone. Even if you are doing this to hurt Aiden, know something, you hurt me too. And the more you do, the more the hate I have for you grows. " I said and inhaled heavily.

" I have made my decision. I will willingly go to South Africa with you. I have accepted it. Now, please, just help her. You can leave me here. Take care of Mary, please. I will go with you to wherever you want to go." I said and stared at the camera. Nothing was happening.

That monster didn't even listen to me. I sighed and rested my head on the wall. I watched her properly and made sure nothing went wrong.

The door clicked open as a man walked in. I recognised him immediately. He was the man who pushed me into the car when they had a fight with Wesley. He stared at me for a while and took out a key. He bent beside Mary and loosened her hand cuff. He carried her out of the room quickly and locked the door back. I scoffed and didn't bother to turn to the camera. Even if he listened to me, that didn't change my thought about him.
