My Cousin's Ex

Chapter 6

Evelyne's POV
I saw Jace's car following us.

"Why are you doing this?! You broke up with me! Just date someone else! Please!"

I started crying.

"Shut the fuck up!"

He put something in my neck. I woke up in a room. I was chained to a wall.

Where am I?

Wait...

Where are my pants?!

Oh god!

I started trying to get the chain off of me.

Come on!

Break!

Please!

The door to the room opened. Bryce walked in.

"Oh! You're finally awake."

"Why are you doing this?! I don't want you anymore!"

He pulled my legs down.

"NO! STOP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

I heard him undo his belt. I started trying to kick him.

"GET AWAY FROM ME! BRYCE STOP! I'LL DO ANYTHING BUT THAT!"

He held the same knife from before, underneath my chin.

"Shut your fat mouth or, I cut you. Got it."

I nodded.

Why is this happening to me?!

I should've asked to go to Jace's house!

Oh god!

This hurts!

I couldn't help but cry.

I want to die.

Please just kill me in my sleep.

He wrapped his hands around my throat. He started squeezing. I started fighting back.

"S...stop!"

He started squeezing tighter. It was getting hard to breathe. I woke up sore everywhere. I had blood between my legs.

So that was rape?

I feel gross.

I went back to crying. Bryce came in and taped my mouth shut. He tied my arms behind me.

Now I REALLY can't do anything.

He put me on my stomach and held my face down against the floor. I just shut my eyes.

Someone please save me.

I can't live like this.

I want him to take that knife and, just slit my throat.

Let me die quickly.

I don't care if it's painful.

After a while, I stopped fighting. My arms were untied and the tape was no longer on my mouth. Whenever I'd cry, I'd cover my mouth. One day I woke up sick. I noticed my stomach looked a bit bigger.

No!

No!

No!

Not by him!

Bryce noticed and started kicking my stomach.

"NO WAY IN HELL I'M LETTING A MINI YOU RUN AROUND!"

I woke up the next day bleeding. I started crying uncontrollably. Then..one day it happened. I woke up with a gun in my face.

"W-what are you doing?"

"Tying up some lose ends."

I sat up.

"No! Please don't!"

He pointed it to my head. He went to pull the trigger but hesitated. Then he aimed it at my right shoulder. He pulled the trigger and I screamed bloody murder.

This is it.

I'm dead.

I felt my blood dripping down my arm. I looked at it. It hurt like hell to move. I started shaking. I used my left hand to put pressure on it. I started doing something that was normal for me. I started crying. Then..as I sat there dying..something hit me.

I think I'm in love with Jace.

He's so kind.

And caring.

He got me, my favorite flowers.

Bryce never did that.

Deep down I knew since day one...

That I picked the wrong person.

If I was with Jace, this probably would've never happened to me.

My eyes started to get heavy.

I shouldn't overthink this right now.

But...I want to think of something good.

Jace is never going to know how I feel.

I looked at my left hand, I saw nothing but blood. It was dripping onto the floor.

What should I do?

Is there any way to stop the bleeding?

I started looking around the room.

Fuck.

There isn't.

I started thinking about how safe I felt. That sweater made it feel like I was being hugged. I tried imagining that I was wearing it. It didn't work. I heard a loud bang.

He must've thrown something.

I didn't notice right away but, I heard sirens. I had a feeling someone walked into the room. The light was turned on. I saw a male police officer. He used his radio and said something. I couldn't fully hear what he said. He ran over to me. My eyes shut. I woke up in an ambulance.

"What's going on?"

"You're going to the hospital. I'm Carrie. What's your name?"

"E-Evelyne Claire Jensen."

"How old are you?"

"16."

"Is there anyone we can call for you?"

"M-my mom or brother."

I gave Carrie my mom's number and she called her. Then she called my brother.

"C-can you call someone else for me?"

"Okay. Who?"

"Jace. His first name is "Dominik." We just call him by his first or middle name."

I gave Carrie, Jace's number.

"Do you want to talk to you?"

"I-I can?"

She handed me the phone.
