Roses Flaws ↠ Michael Clifford (AU)

Chapter | 44 |

I don't know how long its been, maybe a couple of hours or a day. There was no sun, just complete darkness except for the light in the hallway. I've spent my time either crying or throwing up.

The door opened revealing Nancy and a couple of guards. They rushed towards me, picking me up by my arms. I wiggled and tried to get free. Nancy stepped forward. I looked at her before she grabbed my face with one hand and slapped me with the other.

She didn't say nothing after that except step back into the hall. My cheek stung with pain.

I was dragged out of the room with force. One of the guards let go of me and went into Michael's room. He came out holding him by his arm.

Our eyes locked for a second. Michael looked away quickly. Both of were dragged down the halls.

I heard cries and scratching from nearby rooms. I kept seeing fingers trying to get at our feet.

The further we got, the darker it got. The lights flickered and it was quiet. The only sound was our footsteps.

We were dragged into a dark room, it was musty and bloody. I saw several rats scurrying away when we entered. On every wall, there were writing like 'jesus wept' or ' he knows you have sinned' Some even had '666' on it.

What was this room?

There were several bath tubs filled with mucky water. I had been chained to the sides until my head was barely above the water.

Nancy stood over me and started reciting bible verses than I was pushed under water. I gagged slightly, spitting the water out.

My head jerked to the side back in forth.

She just slapped me!

"Don't hit her!" Michael yelled. I saw him trying to fight against them before I was pushed back under. It happened several times then, I was slapped.

Michael was being strapped down now. Nancy did the same thing to me, to him.

"Fuck you." He spat.

Smack.

"Jesus loves you! He died for you.How dare you do this? He gave me the power to help you." She cried out.

I coughed loudly. Was this her way of a punishment?

The big question was did Calum and Violet get out?!

They deserved better than this, I really hope they don't witness this.

"Push her down!" Nancy demanded.

The water came rushing towards me, when I went under. I screamed loudly and the handcuffs clanked against the tub. It seemed like forever before I came back up.

There footprints echoed against the tile floor as they left. Not even a moment later, the lights went out. It was pitch dark.

"Mac." Mikey coughed out. "Are you okay?"

I sniffled lightly. "I'm f-fine. Are you?"

"Yeah, I'll be okay."

Then it was silent. That was the longest conversation We've had in a couple of days.

"Michael." My voice cracked. "I'm really sorry, it wasn't my attention."

Silence.

I kept talking. "I have multiple personality disorder, you know that. I just wanted you to be happy so the only way was for me to go to through electroshock for a chance to get my memory back.. For you. It had a consequence and I didn't care. But now, I wish I did. I lost you."

I would be lying if I said, I wasn't crying and not trying to swallow the water. I was shivering.

This time I got a reply.

"You're right, you lost me. You kept secrets from me and you fucked our counsellor but you can't blame your 'other self' Mac. It was all your part too. You're as crazy as the rest of them in here but you know what..I can't stop myself from loving you though. I never will."
