A loud noise sounded from my phone, waking me up hours later. I slightly raised my head, sliding my finger across the screen to open the message.
From: Harry
Hey love. Check your island after you wake up. X
I yawned before climbing off of my comfortable mattress. I walked into the kitchen and saw Bella lying in front of a long cabinet. I laughed at her, knowing she wanted an afternoon snack. I reached into the cupboard pulling out a bag of mini beggin strips and held it out in my hand.
“Sit, Bella.” I commanded. She sat quickly and wagged her tail until I gave her the reward she wanted. I saw bright red out of my peripheral vision and turned my head towards it. There were roses in a vase on my island with a note attached to them. I grabbed the paper from the stem of a rose and read the cursive writing on the note.
Kammie,
I’m sorry for yelling at you. I promise not to do it again. I hope you can forgive me. Xx
Love,
Harry
I read over the words a few times, but my eyes kept glancing at the word love. There was no way he already loved me.
I heard a car door shut outside and I became very nervous. I slowly crept back into the hallway, cautious, and heard the door coming unlocked. I knew exactly who it was as the door swung open. “Get over here now Kammie!” I stood there in shock, seeing Landon’s awful appearance. He was wearing the same clothes from the night before but his hair was a mess and I could tell that he had gotten sick earlier. He slammed the door as hard as he could, making me jump back a bit. He fast walked towards me and moved his hand out to his side, flashing the blade in my direction. “Can’t wait to get my hands on you.” He said aggressively. I quickly backed up, pressing my hands against the wall to help my balance. I could tell he was about to perform the worst damage I had ever experienced as I tried to further the distance between us. He was suddenly very close to me and swiped the blade towards me in a fast motion. He missed me, ripping into my t-shirt instead of my skin. I backed through my doorway and shut the door before locking it and trying to come up with a quick plan. “OPEN THE DOOR BEFORE I TEAR IT DOWN!” He screamed loudly.
I paced around my room for a few moments, trying to focus on how I could get out of this. My head darted towards my window, running over to it and sliding it open quickly. Landon was kicking the door and I knew it would give way at any second. I had one leg out of my window before I stopped in my tracks.
Bella. What about Bella. I couldn’t leave her here with him. If he noticed she was here, he would probably end up hurting her, or even killing her. I pulled back from the window and rushed my mind to think of another plan. I dropped to the floor and squeezed under my bed right as the door was flung open. Landon stood in the doorway, all I could see was his white shoes with my restricted view. He walked to my bed and was stood right in front of my face.
“No way, she didn’t leave.” He started to turn, but was stopped from a loud noise. My phone went off in my pocket from an incoming text and a tear immediately fell from my face. “Ha, you’re caught baby.” He walked back over to me placing his hand in my view. I grabbed his hand and he quickly hauled me out from underneath it and to my feet. I felt rug burn on my legs from how fast I was removed from the carpet. He had the pocket knife still held in his hand, but decided not to use it. His hand made contact with my cheek, throwing my head to the side. I gasped at the harsh slap against my face. I slowly turned back to his angry expression, my breathing heavy in front of him. “I have a present for you my love.” He held sarcasm in his voice, making me unsteady. He pulled his phone out, and handed it to me after finding a video on it and pressing play. I watched as the girls from the night before stripped down to their birthday suits, dancing to the hip hop music filling the room. The camera then moved to Landon and one of the girls made her way over to him, straddling his waist. She moved firmly against his jeans as she forced her mouth on his and made out with him. She started to unbutton his jeans and I dropped my mouth open, as he let her. I took my vision away from the screen and looked up to Landon who started chuckling. “That’s what you get for leaving. You missed out.” My vision started to blur from the tears forming in my eyes, before they fell and hit the ground quickly.
