(Writing this Chapter was the struggle. I finished the chapter before lunch but after school my phone fell out of my pocket and it was all gone! I accidentally reset my whole phone so I lost hella phone numbers I was too lazy to save to my sd card. So I had to rewrite everything -_- Anyway PLEASE enjoy)
Chapter 10
Joey's P.OV.
"Why can't you tell me where the necklace is?" His voice is soft and caring and I consider telling him, I open my mouth but close it again. "Use your words." I can see him losing his patience, his hands land on my arms and we are staring each other in the eye. His hazel green eyes so dark right now.
"Did you lose it?" I shake my head no. He squeezed my arms then he relaxed while taking a deep breath. I should have just said I lost it but it's impossible to lie to this man.
"I don't think you understand, I saved up so much money to buy that for you. It is, well was supposed to be special and I thought you never took it off. Can you just tell me where it is?" He pleaded, I kept my mouth shut. This time his grip got tighter but he didn't relax but pulled me out into the living room. He sets me on the couch while he goes into the closet. I'm in so much trouble, my eyes start to water, I don't think I've ever seen him so hurt and angry before and its scary.
He came back with a black cloth thingy, two pair of handcuffs but they aren't padded like the ones in the bedroom, and a black gag. I remember him using a gag on me a few times when the neighbors would complain and we had to be quiet. My face heats up as I remember who his neighbors are.
"I'll ask you one more time," He says throwing the stuff next to me on the couch. "Where is the necklace?" His hands on his hips, he looks bigger than ever.
"I, Michael." I plead before he cuts me off.
"I'm done, I don't want to hear you say anything unless it's where that necklace is." He walks back into the closet.Sobs fill the air.
"Get on your fours." He tells me from the closet. I do as told.
He whips me over and over, making sure to take a 5 second break to let the pain sink in. I bite my lip to keep from crying out, reopening my cut. Blood tastes nasty but that was the last of my worries. When he finishes I feel like I'm gonna fall over. The pain makes me drowsy. I fall in and out of consciousness as he puts the gag in my mouth then the black mask blindfold thingy. Lastly he cuffs my hands and feet before locking me in the closet.
I woke up a few times and cried because I couldn't see anything and choked on the gag. I found a way to steady my breath so that I wouldn't cry, choke myself to death.
***
I wake up to light shining in my face. I squint up to see Michael holding the mask thingy. He takes off my cuff and he helps me into the bathroom
I feel numb while watching him fill the bath with bubble bath and oils. He strips and sits me in between his legs. I let him wash me with my eyes closed, I'm frightened and tired. I really wish I had just kept the damn necklace instead of throwing it out my window.
He dried me off and I stare at him. Why is he acting so weird. He finally takes off my gag and my throat and jaw hurts so much. He doesn't say anything so I follow him into the living room where he hands me my clothes and my bag I brought over here but it looks full. I put on my clothes then look in the bag. All of my clothes that has been here is in there.
"Michael?" He is sitting on the couch with his head down, staring at his hands. I miss the confidence he held with him.
"This isn't going to work out." I strain to hear his small voice.
"But-" I start.
"But nothing, you won't tell me where the necklace is, you can leave now." He slumps into the couch and tears make their presence known as it drips off my chin and onto my hand. I fucked up. "I said leave! Just go." He yells then his voice gets soft.
I close the door as quietly as I could. Just as the door shut, I slid down the door onto the floor. My hands land on my face and they become wet.
"Joey?" I've been on the floor deep in thought about what to do next when I was interrupted. Wiping all the tears away, I see Thomas staring down at me.
"Thomas." I whisper to myself.
"What's wrong, why are you crying?" He sits down across of me, worry planted on his face.
"I don't know," I lie looking down at my hands. I look up just in time to catch him examining my bag and the fact that I'm sitting right in front of Michael's door "I broke up with Michael." I lie again.
"Why were you crying?" He says frowning.
"Me and Michael's relationship just wasn't what I had wanted. It wasn't what I thought." He stands up and helps me up. I attempt a smile and he just hugs me. I melt into his touch.
"Want to come with me to hang out with one of my friends?" He asks and I pull away to nod.
"Whose this friend of yours?" I take his hand as we walk towards the elevator.
"Her name is Lyne." A girl, I hope she doesn't have a crush on him, because if so, I'll fight her.
(Ug, not one of my favorite chapters but that's just because I had to rewrite it all. Btw I know there are mistakes with the grammar, didn't really have time to reread it.)
