Forever Mine

Chapter 34

I woke up with the covers draped over me. I must've fallen asleep. I never went back downstairs. I turn to my right and Liam is sleeping peacefully next to me. Had I fallen asleep for the whole night? I looked out the windows and it was light out. I didn't even realize I was that tired. I pull the covers off and quietly tip toe to the bathroom. I just need a few minutes of peace before Liam asks me questions about last night.

I opened the shower curtain to turn on the shower. I turned around and jumped in surprise.

"Jesus Liam you scared me."
"Sorry." He grins.

He was shirtless in grey sweats. Fuck. It was hot.

"How are you feeling? I was going to check on you but my mom said you hadn't been feeling well so you came upstairs. I thought you had went of to talk to Emma."

"Oh. Yeah you know pregnancy can do that sometimes." I lie.

I didn't want to tell him what had happened between Emma and I. I was relieved Liz lied for me. I did not want to face anyone else last night.

"It's a shame. I know how excited you were to see Emma. Well we will see them again soon so you guys can catch up. I can't believe they are having another baby. Isn't that exciting?" Liam grins at me.

Fuck. I had forgotten about New Years Eve. I had no interest in seeing Emma. Not after what had happened.

"Yeah." I fake a smile.

It wasn't great. He raped her! How can he be so blind?

"What's wrong?" Liam walks over to and hugs me.
"Nothing all good." I give him a fake smile again.
" Breakfast? I'm hungry." I rub my belly trying to change the subject.

I was far from ok. I didn't feel like talking about it with my kidnapper. I wish I could talk to Liz more. She was the only one that had understood me in this moment. I just had to suck it up. It wouldn't be long before I was home free with Wren and Liliah.

What would my parents think? Would Chase still want to marry me? All the fears popped into my head like they had many times before. Whoever loved me would be accepting. That's what mattered. Anyone else I didn't care about. I cared about Wren and Liliah. More than anything else in this whole word. I held the necklace tight.

A pang of panic struck me. What would happen at the hospital? How would I tell the nurses and doctors where everyone was? I didn't know even know where we were. It's okay Dr. Evans would be there with me. He will be forced to tell everyone. What if Liam finds a way to sneak into the hospital and take me back?

"Avery? You've barley touched your breakfast. You keep zoning out what's wrong?"

Liam brings me back to reality.

Everything would be fine. I wasn't coming back to this island. Liam wouldn't catch me ever again it would all be ok.

"Sorry. Just tired I guess." I lie and pick up my fork to eat breakfast.

"Did something happen? You've been acting weird this morning. I know you. You aren't yourself."

"You don't know me Liam! You don't know anything about me so stop acting like it! I'm fine!" I snap at him.

I feel my anger coming out. I get up and slam my chair into the table. I was tired of pretending to be ok and talking to him. I didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Liam's pov:
I was irritated. Why was she being so weird? I was trying to be patient but something was off. When she squeezed my hand last night I had thought she went to go talk to Emma. She seemed upset about the pregnancy. I don't know why I thought she would've been happy about it. She seemed a bit jealous. I thought she would've been excited to be raising a baby at the same time. Huh. I guess we will just blame it on pregnancy hormones.

Emma's pov:
"Mommy wake up!" Ella screams in my ear.

I let out a groan and roll my eyes. She was bouncing up and down on the bed. I was not in the mood for all this energy right now. I did not have it.

"Come on El. Mommy will be down soon. I put your show on for you." I can hear Ryan's voice from the doorway.

"Okay!!" She squeals.

I feel the bad dip and her jumping off the bed. I let out a sigh of relief.

There is a few moments of silence before Ryan speaks.

"Come in Emma you need to get up. This is getting ridiculous. You've been in a slump for weeks. I thought last night would change things. You got to cut this crap. You can't do this to me or to Ella. Be downstairs in 5 minutes.

I feel the tears swelling up in my eyes. I had been so depressed. I hated that I hurt Ella and Avery too. I didn't mean to snap at her. She was the only one I had. It was just I was keep a secret. One that no one knew. Not even Ryan. The weight of it was unbearable. I feel so alone. I'm going crazy. I'm not sure how I can keep doing this.

Avery's pov:
Liam left me alone for most of the morning. Thank god. I didn't want to talk about what happened. I didn't feel like fighting. I felt like that's all I was doing lately. I couldn't stop thinking about how evil Ryan was. Keeping Ella away from Emma. How did he get away with taking them home? Didn't they believe her? How could you ignore such an obvious cry for help?

I fell asleep shortly after those thoughts and took a afternoon nap.

I woke up and Liam was curled up next to me. It reminded me of Chase. Oh how much I missed him. I felt myself loosing myself more and more on this terrible island. I looked at Liam and had the urge to stroke his blonde hair like I did with Chase's. I can't imagine what his Christmas was like. I wish so bad that we could be together. This wasn't supposed to happen. I thought I was safe. Liam was in jail. How did he escape so easily? How has no one found us? How is it that these 3 men have outsmarted everyone? How do I know who to trust anymore?
