Tyler POV

I'm in the backseat of my mother's car. My hands and feet tied together with a white rope.

"Why did you do that?" I ask. "In front of your own son."

"Shut up Tyler. We're doing this for you." My mom snarls.

"Ya right." I scoff. "If you cared about me at all then you wouldn't have hurt the man I love."

"Love?" she laughs. "Tyler dear, you're too young to know what love is."

"I do know what it is. Its putting someone else's needs before yours." I explain.

"And we did what was best for you because we love you."

"You don't love me." I hiss.

"You're right. I don't love you. What I love is making your low life miserable."

"Just so you know, your little boyfriend won't be around for much longer." John speaks up.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I caught a few pictures of him while we were at the park." he says and holds up his phone.

On the screen I see Luke standing beside my mother. John starts to scroll. There are so many of him. Even of him passed out on the side walk. I cringe at the thought of him still there.

"Why are you doing this? Why couldn't you let me be happy for once?" I ask.

"I don't care about your happiness." my mother spits.

"Then why are you doing this?"

"Because." she answers.

"That's a shitty answer." I say back.

"John. I'm sick of hearing her. Give her the shot." she says.

"What?" I ask.

Suddenly I feel a pain in my thigh and a cold fluid run through my body. I start to feel dizzy and everything is spinning. They drugged me.

I finally fall into a deep sleep.

-

My eyes slowly flutter open and I take in my surroundings. I'm in a cement room with no windows. There's only a door.  The room is empty so I'm lying on the cold floor.

I stand up and rush to the door. I jiggle the door knob only to realize it's locked. I start slamming my fists against it.

"Somebody please help me!" I call out.

"John I think she's awake." ugh I'm still here with them.

"Carefully open the door." John tells my mother.

Once the door cracks open I make a run for it. I don't get very far thought. I'm hit with a stinging pain in the back of my legs and I fall to the floor. The pain continues for a few more seconds.

I look up to see John standing over me with a whip in his hand. That's what the pain was. He had whipped me.

"Every time you disobey or do something your mother and I don't agree with, you will be hit with this. Am I clear?" he asks.

I nod my head yes.

He brings the whip down on me again and it catches my arm.

"Use your words!" He yells causing me to flinch.

Tears start to fall from my eyes. I try to keep it in, but I can't. I'm hoping it won't earn me another hit.

"Yes." I whimper.

"Good. Now get back in the room."
