My Poison ✔️

~Fifteen~

I tried hiding in Nate's chest but Ethan pulled me away from Nate and into him. I frantically tried to remove myself from him but I failed miserably.

"This would be easier if you would stop struggling Bailey." He warned.

"It would easier if you would leave us all the fuck alone. I think you've done quite enough damage already haven't you?" My tear filled eyes stared up into his dark ones as my voice held pain and anger.

I could never forgive him for what he did to Joey. He didn't deserve anything that happened to him. Ethan tortured him and then killed him the next day.

"He had to die. You have to learn the consequences of your actions." Ethan said blandly.

I scoffed. "You're not my mom you can't punish me for speaking out."

He bent down to my level and put his lips right next to my ear. "I'm not your mom but I can still punish you."

"Get away from me!" I tried getting out of his grip but he didn't let go.

"Ethan leave her alone." Bennett spoke up.

"Why? She's mine." He taunted.

"I'll do anything you want." Bennett's face was full of sadness and regret. He must feel bad for dragging me into all of this.

"I have everything I want. All that's left is Bailey. And I have her now." Ethan pulled me roughly into his chest. "We are leaving. Everyone follow me."

His men grabbed everyone in the room and I looked around suddenly realizing that Nick was nowhere to be found. He must be getting help.

Ethan took us outside where there were multiple different cars. Trucks, Jeeps, a Limousine, and army vehicles all black were parked out front.

Ethan walked over to the limo and helped me in. I was sat in the middle with Ethan on my left. To my surprise, Nate got in with Bennett behind him and Braunson last. Someone got in the front seat to drive us but I didn't really care.

I held onto Bennett tightly hugging him for comfort. His hand brushed past the gun I had in my waistband and he looked down at me trying to figure out my intentions.

"You should use it." I whispered so quietly that it was barely audible. He got my message through.

"Bailey get off him and put your seatbelt on." Ethan commanded me. "We have a long drive ahead of us."

"How long." I asked not moving from Bennett's embrace.

"At least a couple hours. Get off him before I rip you off him. Me letting him be in here is something I can easily change. You can sit in here with me and my men. They won't care what I do to you so this is last time I will say it. Remove yourself from Hawthorne."

I pulled away shivering slightly at the cool air blowing in the car. Bennett's pants weren't very thick and I had no socks on. My short sleeve shirt wasn't doing much in keeping my arms warm either.

I curled up into a ball after bucking my seat belt. I know everyone here could tell I was cold but I didn't want to say anything.

"You know darling if you're cold, you can always lay on me." Ethan smirked down at me.

"I'd rather freeze to death." I shot him a sarcastic smile.

I saw Bennett smirk slightly in the corner of my eye so I felt more proud of myself. Ethan let out a loud sigh to tell me he wasn't going to keep giving me chances.

I tried to distract myself from everything happening but it kept getting colder in here. Bennett had goosebumps but he didn't seem to be as affected by the cold as I was.
