Secrets

Meeting The Guys

Liz's P.O.V.

I woke up in a small room that seemed to be a basement. The room wasn't furnished except for the small cot I was laying on. The cement walls and flooring made it feel very gloomy but I didn't mind. I slowly sat up and tried to ignore my stiff muscles and splitting headache. There was a small cough behind me and I looked back to see a boy standing in the shadows by the door. He stepped into the light and I remembered that he was the guy I flipped at the beginning of the fight.

"So,your finally awake. It's time to go meet the others," he said. I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him. No guy was going to boss me around. He stepped right up to the bed and roughly grabbed my chin.

"Don't ever do that again or you'll regret it!" he snarled into my face. I yanked his arm away and stared him straight in the eyes.

"Psh, as if you deserve any respect," I spat back. He swung his hand back and slapped me hard. I could feel his hand print forming yet I hadn't even blinked.

"You"ll have to do more than that to break me,"

"Trust me, we will," he promised before grabbing my forearm and dragging me off the cot. I fell on the floor but immediately stood up. He still had his grip on me and pulled me out of the basement. We went up a small flight of concrete steps, walked through a wide hall, and turned right ending up in a lavishly decorated living room. The boy threw me into the middle of the room where I stumbled and fell. The other four guys on the two expensive looking couches stopped their chit chat and stared at me and the boy. He walked over to the couch and plopped down on it.

"What's your name?" he questioned.

"My name is Liz.What's yours?" I replied politely looking up at him through my eyelashes.

"Don't try that with me. You already blew it downstairs,"he said. The smile on my face switched to a scowl.

"I told you my name now tell me yours,"I ordered. At this all the guys jumped up and copied him as he started to punch me. Evidently they didn't like me bossing them around. They hit me wherever they could but I had been trained not to feel pain so I stood there unfazed for about two minutes. After that the pain started to get me as they continually hit me but then my back up kicked in and the pain went away. This continued for three more minutes before the boys stepped slowly back and stared strangely at me as if they were wondering was I wasn't on the ground in fetal position.

"Now then since that's over I believe you still need to introduce yourselves"I said. The five guys looked at each other before the first sighed.

"Alright, we'll tell you our names but only because you're the first girl to make it through a beating like that. My name is Josh. The two guys on my left are Zach and Andrew. Those two guys are John and Matthew," Josh said. They all mumbled 'hey's and 'what up's.

"That wasn't so hard now was it?"I smirked.

"Don't push your luck, Missy. Besides it was excruciatingly painful," Josh said. I laughed but stopped suddenly wondering if I should let myself get comfortable. I decided that I was fine because if I really needed to I could escape within the blink of an eye but first I wanted to learn more about these boys.
