Neglected & Abused, Until I Found You

Chapter 7

We pulled up to his apartment, and went up to floor 28. His room number was 846. He opened the door to reveal a mansion like room. It was gorgeous. He swiftly took my hand and guided me to a giant, beautiful room. It was aqua colored, had a flat screen T.V, a walk - in closet, and a bathroom. Every feauture was perfect. The lights were luminous. He ordered Chinese food, it was 6:14 pm. When the food got here, we went to living room, sat down, and watched T.V. I haven't watched T.V in 2 years. I had no idea what was going on in the world. "Ca-can you tu-tur-turn on the-the.... um ne-news?" I stuttered. He looked puzzled, shrugged, then turned it on. "A local has gone missing. 21 year old Cass......" Before the news reporter could even finish her statement, I grabbed the remote and quickly turned the T.V off. I gave him an apologetic look. "It's okay, they don't know the truth. I do" he said. I smiled. "I'm going to take a shower." He nodded at me with a mouth full of food. I grabbed 2 towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a washcloth. For the first time in 2 years, I sang. Singing used to be my life. Every time I had performed somewhere, there were always scouts watching. All of that stopped when I first starting hanging out with Stephan. I had a gift, I could have had a future. But, I might not have met Liam. And right now, I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. I wasn't sure where I was going to go, but all I know is right now, in this moment, wherever Liam is, is where I belong.
