Chapter 10:

Maddie's POV:

Dream-

I am walking. Walking some were I know very well. The old, creaking, wooden floors. The brown tinted walls. The smell of alcohol consuming the air. Why am I here? This place is dangerous. This place holds all my fear. This place is my home. I am walking. Walking into my parent's bed room. I try to stop my feet, but they keep going. Left. Right. Left. Right. My chest falls up and down with shaky breathes. The door to their room is open. It feels as if my body is being pushed into the room by an imaginary force. My foot passes the thresh hold. I want to run the other way. I want to stop. 

I see my mum. My dad. Percy. Karen. Milly. Jerry. Tom. No, this can't be happening. 

The room is exactly how I remember. A single mattress. Two foot chains, two hand chains on the bed. A dirty window. Broken lamps. Clothes thrown on the floor. The smell of filth and blood. This is my childhood. This is my home. 

I tell my feet to stop going forward, but they don't. Dad reaches for my hand. 

I flinch. 

He grabs my arm and throws me on the bed. 

I am surrounded. 

I am gasping for breathe. 

"Miss me baby?" My dad asks. 

"P-please. Please don't do this!" I choke out. 

A hand makes contact with my cheek. White hot pain filling my right cheek. 

"Shut up bitch" Toms yells.

Hands cover my shaking body. 

I know these actions are all to familiar. I know whats about to happen.

I squint my eyes close; praying for it all to end.  

The chains wrap around my hands and feet. 

I am trapped. 

"No. No. No. No please! Someone help me!"

As usual. No one answers my prayers. 

Things are fuzzy. 

Their evil laughs muffled. 

I black out. 

- end of dream

I wake up shaking, clutching my sides, my cheeks wet with tears. My feet kick the air, thinking my previous families will receive the kicks. I don't dare to open my eyes. I am choking on my own tears. This is the end. 

I feel a hand stroke my arm. I flinch, curing into a ball. 

"Pleasee, pl-please don't hurt me." I whisper. Knowing another slap is coming. 

"Maddie, love, its just Zayn. Sweet heart it was just a dream. You can open your eyes now." 

I shake my head. They will hurt me. They aren't any different then the others. I can't fall for their trap. 

"Madison, open your eyes princess. Your safe, we're not going to hurt you." Niall explains. 

I shake my head. 

"Madison, open your eyes." Louis says a bit to sternly for my state.
