Lukes POV: 

I hear my phone ping! on my desk.

I look at it from my bed where I've been laying for a month now.

 At least I'm home though. I got that going for me. 

ping! 

I look at my half closed door and back to my phone. 

Calum is home but he's helped a lot and he's sleeping right now. I hear the soft snores coming from the next room. 

ping! 

FUCK. okay. It's been a month. I can walk. 

right?

yeah. yeah.

okay. 

I swing the blanket off my legs and adjust my socks and my sweats. I look at the floor and at my wheelchair next to my nightstand. I slowly move my legs like I've been doing in physical therapy with Michael. I feel the tinge of pain by my lower back as I keep moving. I hiss as it intensifies as I let my legs hang over my bed. I calm my breathing as I try to contain the pain and concentrate on just putting my feet flat on the ground. 

"okay... come on Luke." I breathe deep and push myself little by little until I'm wobbling and trying to grab my nightstand for support. I reach for my wheelchair. 

"ah..." I grasp the side bars of the chair and contemplate whether I should sit or I should keep trying to wobble to my phone. 

ping!

The phone. The fucking phone is what's driving me to move and lunacy right now. 

That's what it's come to. 

ping!

i'm going to chuck that phone. 

I take a step forward and balance. 

"ah ah..." 

I take another wobbly step. 

"okay... okay..." 

Almost there. 

Another wobbly step. 

The pain increases and I hiss. 

I take another step and a pain jolts through my spine and it makes me lose balance, as the pain intensifies and I try to grab on to my wheelchair but it rolls away, hitting my lamp and making me fall. 

"AH!" 

fuck fuck fuck, ow. My legs feel go full numb and theres a warm feeling spreading through my spine crawling up to my neck.

Claires POV:

All I see is black. All I feel is torture. All I smell is the horrendous abuse. All I hear is his pleasure against my screaming thoughts. 

"ahhhhhh!! -- ahh.... damn baby. I'll never get rid of you." he kisses me sloppily while squishing and groping my boobs, going down biting my nipple hard making me close my eyes and fight my tears.

 "we're done. get cleaned up and get out." he kisses me again as I feel him pull out. 

"make sure to put make up on and cover everything. I was a little rougher today so there will definitely be some marks" he finishes smirking.

I wince as I sit up and reach for my clothes. I feel tears threatening to fall down but I hold them back and quickly get dressed and start to head out. 

I feel him pull my hair back and turn me forcefully.

"I said MAKE SURE TO PUT MAKE UP ON AND COVER EVERYTHING BITCH" he punches me in my stomach and slaps me making my lip bleed again and pushes me to the floor. 

"y-yes sir-r." I try to cover myself with my clothes as I sit against the chair. "I - I will." 

"good. Now get the fuck out of here. I have to go pay Lewis. and schedule another appointment with you. cuz damn baby." He cleans his lips and sends me a kiss as he pulls the curtain open walks away leaving me alone in the little space with a tainted bed and other abusive objects. I get up wincing and put my underwear back on as I wince. I pull my hoodie on and sweatpants as I tie my converse on. I walk out and see Lewis as he smiles at me walking to me handing me my Plan B pill with water. He walks away as he tells his driver to take me back to Laura. 

I get off the car and walk up the steps. Laura opens the door and pushes me to the side as she rushes over to the car to pick up her grams.

I get to my room and lock my door as I walk in to my restroom and get undressed hopping into the shower letting the hot water fall down my body. 

I sigh as I feel the pressure on my chest tighten and I sit down letting the water fall over me as I let my tears finally escape.
