Thea

Past

Thea's POV

"I guess you finally came back to me." Grayson said while coming closer to me. I couldn't deal with him right now. I really couldn't. I smiled at him and grabbed Ezra's hand and led us to the rest of the group.

I heard Ezra laugh. "I hate men, really they don't get the hint." I said to Ezra as we finally sat down at the table. "Yes I agree, I hate men." Ezra said with a smile beside me.

"I'm guessing you ran into your little boy toy" Alex said to me. "Please shut the fuck up Alex , you don't know shit. " I said to him in an angry tone.

He doesn't even know the full extent of our relationship.  I look over at Ana and she has an angry face plastered on her and it is towards my brother. She knows the shit that went down in the relationship.

"Alright I need a drink." I look over to Ezra signaling that I want him to get me a drink. He gets the memo and sighs. "What would you like?" He said to me, "Champagne please" I said to him while flashing my smile. "You all should leave and get the lady's something." Ana said to the rest of the guys. "You both are far from ladies, you both are moody bitches." Riven said, "You better watch what you say, right now is not a good time, so take your dick ass over there and get Ana and I some champagne." I said to all of them, and then they were off.

" I think Ezra's good for you T." Ana said to me, "Yeah he's definitely proved me wrong, he has a good heart, but I don't know what he wants from me. If he wants me to be his girlfriend or anything." I say to Ana honestly. "Would you want him to ask you to be your girlfriend? I know you put up a hard front all these years with men trying to take advantage of you and shit, but I don't think Ezra's like that, he's your equal." Ana said to me.

"I don't know, I never thought of him asking me to be his girlfriend. Well technically soon, I am going to be his legal wife, but outside of Valerio and Angels I don't know what we are." I said to her staring in the distance.

"Ana, would you ever think about leaving the Valerio's if you had the chance?" I asked her. "No I could never leave, this gang saved me from many things you know that, Thea." She said to me bewildered about my question. "Would you?" she asked me. "No, I could never leave," I said to her.

I would leave if I had the chance, but I would never tell anyone that.

"I think you owe the host a dance." Someone said from behind me, but I already knew that it was Grayson. "I don't owe you anything Grayson, I have a date here so please leave." I said to Grayson getting fed up with his annoying self.

"Come on for old times sake, You used to be begging for me to do a lot of other things little Thea don't forget." He said to me with a smirk. This guy is a serious creep, how the fuck did I ever date him.

"Fine Grayson, one dance that's it." I said to him before walking to the dance floor with him I turned over to Ana, "Ana tell Ezra that I won't be long."

We started to dance and he was already passing the boundaries. He was sliding his hand down to my ass, but I think he must think I'm stupid or something and I won't know. "Grayson move your hand now" I said to him with an annoyed tone.

"That Angel over there has got you all tight. You aren't any fun anymore. You used to be my crazy girl, down for anything and everything. You are different now. " He said to me while putting a piece of hair behind my ear.

He was right, when I was with him things were different. Him and I were not good for each other. He used to get me really drunk some nights and then I got terribly sick. He used that as a advantage on me and said that since I embarrassed myself for being drunk I owed him a apology, and that apology was in fucking sex. I owed my body to him.

I came home crying one night, because he did it to me again and Ana found me. I didn't want her to tell anyone because I thought I was weak for letting him use me like that. After that night though Ana never let me go back

Before I could get into that bad part of my past again I was brought into reality from Grayson. "You know my bed is always open, if you get sick of him." He said to me, "No Grayson, I told you long ago that you and I were done." I said to him, "You can't control me anymore. My heart isn't yours anymore" I said to Grayson before turning my back on him.

Before I could get off the stage he grabbed my arm tight, knowing that it would leave a mark. He brought me to his chest and put his hand around my neck.

Please not again. I felt like the walls were closing in.

He brought his other hand up to my waist and slowly brought it to my breasts and groped me tightly.

Please help, not again. I was going to throw up with his hands on me.

Why did I even say yes to this dance, am I still that weak person form the past?

"You need to obey me, you will always be mine, Thea. The day that you said no to me was a mistake you little whore." He said to me close to my face. I was disgusted. His breath reeked of alcohol.

"I am not weak anymore, you never owned me and you never will." I said to him. Even though my words were bold I wanted to crumble as his grip on me got tighter and tighter.

"I think you should let go of her, Grayson, before I decide to make a scene." Ezra says into the ear of Grayson. I didn't even realize that he was there.

Grayson knows that he has no chance of going up against Ezra, so he slowly lets me go. Ezra guides me out of the place. I turn around one last time and look at Grayson and I see that he mouths some words. I couldn't get the whole thing, but I made out the words "long live".

Where have I heard those words from?
