Never Ends ; Sequel to Never Ending Love

Chapter 21

*JILLS POV*

• listen to 'In My Place' - Coldplay •

I watch as he makes his way towards me. He lifts up his arm.

I cover my face. "Please don't hurt me."

"W-What. Why would I hurt you? I was helping you up." Hayes says.

I grab his arm as he lifts me up. I go into his arms as he wraps his arms around my waist. I let out soft cries into his chest.

"I'm so sorry, Jill. We are going to work this out. I promise." He says.

I just cry more into his chest. Nobody knows. Nor, will they ever.

My brother Trevor, worked with Michael, Rachel's brother. While Rachel got abused, I got abused also. I didn't know Rachel and I've never see her before till 2 years ago. I would spend most of my time in my room hiding instead of facing the real world, let alone people. Right now my brother is somewhere and I don't know what he is doing. I get scared sometimes.

- flashback -

"Please. Stop." I say in pain.

"Why don't you ever listen!" Trevor says, slapping me in the face.

"I won't ever do it again. I promise!! Please." I say in tears.

"You never learn, do you!" Trevor says, grabbing my hair and pulling me down to the ground.

I look as blood covers the white tile floor. I yelp in pain at the sight. I touch my own blood that stained the tile floor a dark red. Blood trickling down my face as it hit the tile one by one.

I found it hard to almost breathe. One kick after the other. Hitting my ribcage. I curl up into a ball as the kicks slow down then speed up yet again.

I heard a crack in my side and I knew this had to be it.

"Maybe that will teach you." He says, gritting his teeth and leaving the room.

I curl up into a ball on the bathroom floor in the corner, thinking I wouldn't live to see the next day.

- end of flashback -

"Hayes, I've been keeping something from you." I say.

"Ok. What is it? Should I be worried?!" He says.

"I think you should sit down." I say.

*RACHELS POV*

I pace through the room. Evelyn went to the lake with her friend this weekend and tomorrow is magcon. Me being absolutely stupid, I pick up the phone and dial the number.

It rang a couple of times.

"Hello?"

"Can you come over?" I ask.

"Sure, on my way."

I take deep breaths as I hang up the phone. I run my hands through my hair. I don't know how this is going to go down.

The doorbell rung throughout the apartment and my hand shakes as I open the door.

"Rachel, is everything okay?"

"Cameron. Come in." I say.

"You didn't answer my question." Cameron says.

"Oh, everything is fine. I have to tell you something." I say, biting my lip.
