Aria opened her eyes slowly, her whole body was numb.

How long??

How long can she take it?

Today he touched her, tomorrow he might do something much worse. Just thinking about it made Aria cry.

Is no one searching for me??

Nathaniel? Liya? Laura? Anyone...

Am I so easy to forget? Was I just a burden to them?

Was I so naive that I let them use me?

I know Laura is searching for me. I know she will. But Nathaniel...I know it's selfish to think about him right now but did he try to find me?

A tear dropped from her eyes as she looked at the ceiling. Her whole body ached especially her chest, he might have broken her ribs with the way he kicked her. She smells full of puke.

It feels like months since she's here, with time passing slowly everything tires her.

She's hungry, so much that she can eat anything she's given. Her mind is playing games with her, each hour makes want to pull her hair out in frustration.

Aria let out a sob, missing every happy memory she spent with the people she loved and cared for Laura..Ginger...Liya...Nathaniel.

She misses everyone. She just wants to go back home and cuddle with her cat on her bed while drinking hot chocolate. That's all she wished for, but that feels like a dream now.

Her throat tightened as she tried to stop her cries, she didn't want to cry and look weak. But still she can't help it.

Her heart ached. It feels like someone is killing it bit by bit. Her bottom lips wobbled as she looked at the nothingness, tears flowed down her face.

Aria covered her mouth to stop her sobs, it was difficult to breathe.

She slapped herself in anger.

Stop crying. Stop crying you fool.

She slapped again.

Stop crying!!!

She continues to hit herself while chanting the same words again and again in her mind.

Stop crying!!! Stop crying!!!! You fucking weak, stupid mute!! STOP FUCKING CRYING!!!!!!

Her cheek sting but she didn't care, everything hurt.

Dying felt more peaceful than suffering.

Suddenly the door crept open making Aria tremble in fear.

"Pretty girl..." Aria closed her eyes, those words scared her now.

"Pretty girl....look I brought a new friend..." He sings as he throws a girl inside the room.

Aria stared at the girl. She has black hair, Black eyes like her, her face is red due to crying. She looked like she was in her mid-twenties.
