Never going to escape

Freedom?!

Once again I was underneath Robbie, he'd fallen asleep using my chest as a pillow. When we were together I use to love this connection, even now I felt a bit of comfort from it, but deep down in my mind I knew it was wrong. His arms wrapped around me ,his heavy snoring, the way his hair would tickle me when he'd move, it was all wrong.

A part of me wondered how Robbie could sleep so soundly on this mattress, but the other part knew it was because I was here. I wanted to escape, I needed to escape. I was no longer confined to the chain, this collar was just slightly smaller, nothing was keeping me here, Nothing but Robbie.

I wasn't emotionally attached, but him literally being on top of me was something I had to worry about. Id have carefully get from under him without waking him up, creep up the stairs, and find the exit, as quickly as possible. 

    Lucky for me Robbie was always a heavy sleeper, I placed my hand under his arms pulling him upwards so that I could slip from under him, Robbie was a lot shorter than me, but heavy as hell. I quickly got off the bed, my heart beating faster and faster as Robbie's snoring stopped. Did he wake up?! Was he watching me to see what I was doing?! What would he do if he saw me trying to escape, trying to get freedom?!

     I took a breath I didn't know I was holding as the snoring continued. Here I was in a completely dark basement, with my ex as his prisoner. To some this could sound like a fantasy, but I wanted no parts of Robbie I only wanted to go home where my Sister was, where my mother was. Thoughts of how worried they must of been crept into my head as I made my way to the stairs. I remember the creaking sounds they made whenever Robbie would go down or up them, any one of these steps could wake him. I had to be carful.

      Seven steps, seven simple steps to my freedom, seven. I slowly pressed my left foot on the first step my heart damn near stopped at the loud sound it made as I did so. Lucky for me Robbie was still snoring, six more steps to go. The next step made little to no noise, the third was slightly louder, but still Robbie snored. He was always a heavy sleeper, that was something I was never thankful until now. I took another breath as I made it to the fourth step it made no noise at all, was I actually going to make it? The fifth step barley creaked, my excitement was almost overwhelming. The sixth step just a whimper. One more step, One more step to my freedom. I lifted my left foot from the sixth step onto the seventh and at that very point I wanted to die. The sixth step was the step I hated the most. Lifting off of it made the loudest creaking sound I've ever heard.

     I placed my hands on the door, scared shitless, searching for the door knob. Robbie had stop snoring. Everything was silent, than I found it. I gently held onto the knob waiting for a second to hear more snoring, but it never came. What came instead was my worst fear.

     "Seth?" Robbie's voice was drenched in exhaustion, I turned around looking at where I knew his body was in the dark basement, the moonlight from the window above the mattress shown a small bit of him. He was sitting up.

   I quickly twisted the knob opening the door and slamming it shut behind me, my eyes locked on another door that had to be the front entrance. I was in what seemed to be a three story house, I didn't look around as much as I probably should of as I bolted to the door. For a second I could taste it, I could taste freedom, but than something unimaginable happened. Something so awful that it could be considered cruel. The collar I wore had a green light I never payed attention to before, I didn't think much of it, until it turned red.

      I glanced at the light as I made my way to the door, it begun flashing, faster and faster as I gotten closer to the door until-

   The worst pain I've ever been in was when I was nine, I was racing my bike down Nightmare Avenue, a nickname me and others gave this gigantic hill with turns that would be considered dangerous by any sane person. I almost won that race, until a dog came out of nowhere. It ran right in front of my bike, lucky for the dog I was able to hit my brakes fast enough so he wouldn't get hit, but unlucky for me the sudden brake slam cause me to lift off my bike slamming head first into the concrete. The stitches I had to get was what I considered the worst pain, but I was wrong.

    I held onto the collar trying to rip it off as I feel to my knees. The pain was something unbearable and didn't seem like it was going to stop. I could hear Robbie slowly making his way towards me, he didn't look shock in the slightest at my pain. He simply walked towards me slowly, when he was within a few feet the pain stopped. My back was against the door that I was running to, I didn't understand what the hell happened or why it suddenly stopped but I was too tired to ask questions.

   "Get up, if you can walk up here by yourself you can walk back by yourself. Get up now!" Robbie's voice had shaken my very core,

    "It's a shock collar?!" My voice barley came out, but the rage behind it was noticeably.

   "You're smart, yes Seth it's a shock collar. If you get too far away from me it will electrocute you. I suggest you stay close.

  I wasn't going to get freedom, not now not ever. I would be stuck in here with Robbie forever. I will never see anyone at school, my mom, Jasmine, I will be here only to see Robbie. I wanted to scream, but knew it would do me no good.

Thanks so much for reading this chapter, I know I've been a bit inactive but here's a promise. This book will be completed before October 2022 ends.
