The Devil - (Johannie)

Chapter 2

The Secrets

~ Annies Perspective ~

I was currently laying in bed watching TV. So far avoiding Johnny has been working, he hasn't hit me yet so that means I'm not making him too mad. I kept thinking about how Johnny was worse than my father, if my father was scared of him, he must be the scariest guy on Earth. My thoughts were interrupted by Lauren- Johnnys sister walking in the room

"Johnny would like to speak to you" she said in a low pitch voice. I felt chills around my body, this is where the abusing starts I thought to myself as I walked into Johnnys office

"Y-You w-wanted to talk to me" I stuttered between the words considering that I was terrified

He looked at me with annoyance. "Sit" he demanded with an angry voice. I sat down as quickly as I can and slowly looked him in the eyes

"You're father, how was he" Johnny asked curiously. I was confused on why he was asking about him but I still answered, lying to him of course

"He's a great father...I-I-I l-l-love h-h-him very much" I say with a fake smile, stuttering between the words of I love him. The thought of loving my father was imaginable, especially after what he had done to me

Johnny looked at me with a confused look, I can tell he didn't believe me "why are you lying to me"

I froze not knowing what to say, I knew if I kept lying this situation would get worse. He knew mafias which means he knew they were all cold hearted

"I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" He yelled while banging his hand on the table. I jumped up in fear, more fear than I had before...he was exactly like him...

A tear slipped down my eyes, I tried to hide it but he had seen more tears fall "god damn it!" He said rolling his eyes

"Get the fuck out!" He yelled again as I instantly walked out the door in embarrassment. When I was younger I had hope I would meet a prince...someone who loved me the way that made me forget all the torture I had been through. But that day is never coming

I looked around for a knife, I knew how to give myself a quick death and now more than ever I needed it. I can't keep going through this constant pain, but when I found a knife Johnny was there

"What are you looking for" he muttered while rolling his eyes...he was still mad at me

"The knife...I was making food..." i mumbled the last part. He looked around the kitchen table and then back at me

"Where's your food you were making" he questioned

I didn't respond back. I really need better lies I thought to myself. Johnny started to tense up more than he already was

"How many times are you going to lie to me!!! Huh?!!!" He yelled scaring me as I backed away

"I HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT NICE TO YOU! I haven't hit you! I haven't tortured you! And you still can't fucking tell me the damn truth!!!" He said still yelling

I looked at where the knifes were behind Johnny, there's no way I can get to them, so I stood there looking down at the floor
