Chases POV:
W-what- what is happening here-
Why is Sarah in a cage?? In the basement of her basement?? I haven't seen Sarah in years?? I haven't seen her in like 3 years? What is she doing down here??

Sarah: "c- chase? Chase! please! Please please help me"

She burst into tears on the ground

What is happening?! Why is she in a cage?! Why is she in a cage in Charlis house?!

I looked inside her cage only to see hundreds of canned food and litters and litters of water

Chase: "s-Sarah- what happened to you?"
Sarah: "she's crazy! She's crazy!"

She cried more

Chase: "how long have you been in there for??"

I really hope she says recently

Chase: "who did this?? Why are you in a cage??"
Sarah: "I've been in here for 2 years and 157 days!"

Oh. My. God.

I feel... horrible... even though she did some terrible things to me... I never wanted this to happen? Why?? Why would Charli do this?? I don't want this?? I don't want someone to suffer??

Sarah: "she used to come in every month... give me some new clothes and books... but she stopped about a year ago"

When she left...

Chase: "why would she do this to you..."

I could cry looking at her, she's all dirty and she looks starving

Sarah: "all she gives me are these canned fruits"

She pointed to where all the canned fruits are stored

I walked up closer to look in her cage

Chase: "I mean.. that cage doesn't look horrible at least..."

It has a nice bed with a comforter, a carpet, some drawers and even a nice table with chairs, and what it looks like a functioning toilet?

Sarah: "try spending 3 years in this place!! Trapped?! With nothing to do but re read the same damn stupid books!"

I see her point...

Chase: "why would she do this?"

I know Charlis a bad person... but I didn't think she was this bad...

Sarah: "she told me it was because of what I did in high school?! High school? Because of what I did to you."

She put her in here because what she did to ME?

Sarah: "her exact words were, "apologize for raping him or Il make sure you get a punishment worst then death" I rolled my eyes when she said that and I told her I would never apologized."

Wait. So she had the option to get out? She just had to apologize? And she didn't.

Chase: "why didn't she hear you banging on the pipes... why didn't anyone here you"
Sarah: "because I only broke the bricks now, I only thought of the idea to bang ok the pipes now. I didn't think it would work? I didn't think anyone would hear me but you did. You saved me."

...

Sarah: "please find the key now. I'm begging you"

I looked at her in the eyes again and all the memories flooded in my head

Sarah: "don't just stand there? C'mon?"
Chase: "I begged you."

She looked confused

Chase: "I begged you to stop, I actually went up to you one day and begged you. You never cared. You might think it was okay since I was unconscious, but do you even know how disgusted I felt in myself after you did it? Every day?
For 3 months? And I felt bad too. I felt bad because at first I thought, I was cheating on my girlfriend and then I thought for a second. How is it cheating if it's against my will?"

She looked confused

Sarah: "chase please just let me out"
Chase: "I was 17? I was a minor? And do you even know how hard it was to tell someone? I told the teachers, I told guidance. Nobody believed me. Not one person, so I let you do it. I let you take advantage of me, I let you assault me. I was tired and I didn't have anything left to do."

She nodded

Sarah: "I understand how you fee-"
Chase: "no you don't?? You don't understand how I feel?? Were you the one being raped every day?!"

She shook her head

Sarah: "no..."
Chase: "exactly. So you don't know how I feel. You don't know what it was like to feel like the whole world was moving around you while you were staying still, everyone continued on with their normal lives and I had to sit there and think about what happened to me over 90 times."

I had tears in the corner of my eyes

Sarah: "I truly do feel bad but can you please let me-"
Chase: "it's funny how I haven't heard one apology"

If she wants to get out I at least want her to say sorry...

Sarah: "I'm sorry okay? I'm sorry"

I nodded

Chase: "ok."

I looked places in the basement and I found a drawer, I opened it and to my surprise there was a key inside

I grabbed it

Chase: "found it"
Sarah: "finally"

I walked towards the cage and out the key in the key hole

Sarah: "I can't wait to get that little bitch arrested"

What?

I took the key out

Chase: "no you don't understand? If I let you out you can't tell anyone about this??"
Sarah: "what?? Why not?? She's a monster?!"

I can't let Charli go to jail? No matter what she's done

Chase: "because I love her, and I wouldn't do that."
Sarah: "do you even care that she trapped me here??

I do... I obviously know this isn't good for Charli... I just want her to get better and this is taking a step backwards

Chase: "I do, I just can't let her go to jail!"
Sarah: "you're just gonna continue to date her?? You aren't scared of her??"

I'm scared of what she could do. I'm not scared of her

Chase: "please just promise me that you won't tell anyone about this... I know it's a lot to ask for... you've been gone
For 3 years but I can't let Charli go to jail"
Sarah: "fine! Fine! I won't tell anyone. Now let me go."

I put the key back in the hole

Charli: "what do you think your doing??

A/n
Oop.
Shall I let Sarah out? 
Should she get freedom after what she's done? 🤷‍♀️

Anyways there's only exactly 31
chapters left! I think I got my ending idea.

It could end in 3 ways, happy, tradgic, or happy turning into sad?
