Cowboy ride to the devil's house

A victorious escape

I nod and go to bed. I curled up with the blankets and he comes in a while later. He stares down at me and sighs.

"I love ya babydoll. Which is why ya ain't ever gonna leave." He says. I feel something poke my thigh. I groan as he rubs my head. "Shh.. it's ight now."

My eyes close and I fade into the darkness of unconsciousness.

After a while. I wake up. I'm in the walk in shower in the master bathroom. There's a collar around my neck. And the shower is locked.

I hear voices.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Amy asks.

"Oh we broke up." William replies

My eyes widen. I can't believe I trusted him. I can't believe I actually fell in love with him. My eyes water and I wipe them.

I hear conversations go on and even some kissing. I curl up into a ball on the floor of the shower.

I cry silently.

Eventually I hear the alarm go off. Amy left.

The door opens and I hear William.

"Babydoll, ya awake?" He asks.

"Why does it matter.." I mutter.

He sighs and opens the shower. "Come on now Haylee, don't be like that."

He pauses when he sees tears running down my face.

"Haylee. You ain't crying now are ya?" He asks as he kneels down and grabs my shoulder.

I yank it away and curl up again. He sighs and looks at me.

"Ya know. I'm starting to get bored of yur.," he says. "Ya ain't goo at sex, ya just cry. Ya can't even walk now. And ya know my secrets. Now yur laying here like a stray dog."

I squeeze my eyes shut. He's so different now. I just want the old him.

He grabs my shoulder and I punch him. He winces as his head jerks to a side.

He holds my wrist and wipes his now bloody nose

"Damn, didn't know ya could pack a punch." He says as he glares. "But that's a punishment girly."

I glare. "So fucking what." I scoff. "I hate you William. I fucking hate you." I say.

His eyes widen as he hears my words.

"No you don't." He says like he's trying to convince himself.

"I do!" I yell. "I hate you. I loved the old you. The one who was kind and loved me. Not the one who finds me boring and abuses me." I say. I'm starting to break down sobbing.

I put my head in my hands and sob.

"No.. you don't mean it.." he whispers.

"I fucking hate you.. I just wanna go home.." I say through broken sobs.
He stands up and leaves the bathroom. Leaving me alone and sobbing myself to sleep.

When I wake up. I'm tied to a chair. I'm in the brown shed. I see a figure walk past me. But at this point. I don't care. I'm shutting all my emotions off.

My chin is lifted up.

"Haylee." He says. "yur eyes are so dull. I didn't never want ya to end up like this."

I don't acknowledge anything

He sighs. "Babydoll. You really don't understand the love I have for yer." He walks over and turns on a light. I see pictures all around the room. All of me. Most from the past. But a lot from now. He has pictures of when I was in middle school.
