Forever and Always

C H A P T E R 7

Talia's POV;

After we got back from shopping I went straight to my room and lay in my bed, I took the last of my sleeping pills, they weren't enough to keep me asleep if I had a nightmare since the dosage was what I was given when I was 7, I rationed them and only used them when I really had to but now that I'm with my biological they might let me get them. I lay down in my bed and hesitantly welcomed the darkness.

Flashback:

I look around and it seems I'm back with Dave and Angela. I stand up from the cold floor I call my bed and start to make my way to the kitchen. This isn't a dream, it's a memory. The day before I got put with the bio's. My throat hurts so I decide to go down and get water, hoping that they aren't awake and don't hear me, I slowly tiptoe down the stair making sure to not step on the creaky floorboards. I stopped at the bottom of the stairs and look around the corner to see if one of the evils were there, there was Dave and around 3 or 4 other men all huddled in a circle doing what looked to be cocaine or maybe ket? All of the men handed Dave a hundred dollars each, I remember thinking it was weird what would he have that costs a hundred apiece cause I know he ain't selling the cockroaches in her for that much. I snuck across to the kitchen and went into the fridge for a bottle of water when it was slammed shut. I turned around to see all the men including Dave looking at me like I was food as if they were going to attack their prey, and I was the prey. They all slowly began inching closer, I walked as far back as I could until my back hit the wall, Dave walked to me and punched me as hard as he could knocking me out. When I woke up I was in the basement chained to the wall by my wrists, I tried tugging on them seeing if they could get loose but it was no use they weren't budging one bit. As if on cue Dave and his friends walk into the yet again with that disgusting look in their eyes, "What are you doing" I ask them. "Well darling we're going to have some fun with you, these men paid me good money just to have an hour with you so you're going to do whatever they tell you or you'll make it worse for yourself." I felt a cold breeze and when I looked down I realised that they had stripped me down to just my underwear. Everything made sense now, I knew what they were going to do to me I'm not stupid but now I had to mentally prepare myself, disassociate if you will. I watched as they began to unbuckle their belts as they all crowed around me I thrashed my arms around hoping the chains would come loose but there was no luck. "Stop moving whore." Dave yelled at me, he raised his fist and it pummeled down into my face, he kicked me in my gut and my face and everywhere he possibly could before he decided it was time. "Now, it's time to have our fun with you."

I jolted awake, sweat pouring down my face, my breathing was heavy and my chest felt as though it was caving in. I knew I shouldn't have slept, I got lucky in the plane I shouldn't have thought I'd get lucky again. I looked on my phone and saw the time was 4:23 AM. I decided that I would get up and have a shower. I dried my hair and curled it, setting it with hairspray and running my fingers through my hair to make them drop a bit. It was now 6 am and I started to do some makeup, I decided that I wanted something a little heavier than normal, not for any reason in particular just for the sake of it. 30 minutes had gone and it was time to change into clothes.
