There was another book for me today. "To kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. A classic American novel that talked about racism faced by black people in the country. Truthfully, I have already read that book twice but to read it again would be nice as well.

I liked reading, and books like these deserved to be read many times to make sure you didn't miss anything that the Author intended to convey. I was dizzy as always, my stomach grumbled loudly as I sat up on the bed.

Even though, I ate two whole slices of pizza yesterday, I threw up just moments after I was done eating. A consequence of starving for so long that a mere slice of pizza was so violently rejected by my body.

I stilled when I noticed two covered plates on the dresser, they probably came in and left it for me. It was almost strange that they didn't wake me up and left without fucking me. I still had a notion that I was only getting privileges because I was letting them fuck me without any rebellion.

But I wasn't complaining, my mind was at ease after being left alone for today. My body wasn't strong enough to be used like a rag doll for two days in a row.

I decided to curb my hunger and slowly stood up from the bed. Even when I got up slowly, I felt my vision blackening from the corners of my eyes and dizziness hit me, seeking support from the wall, I stayed standing.

Just as I started to walk towards the food, I heard the sound of locks clicking open.

Shit, they were back. They probably saw that I was awake and decided to come down and collect their payment. I hastily sat back on the bed, collecting myself up to greet them. I needed to gather energy for facing them once again.

The door of the room opened and Nate came inside the room, I instantly started to crawl towards him and kissed his feet. After completing my task of greeting him, I looked up at him and saw my ex fiance standing just by the door.

Of course, he was involved in this. But why? may be this was his plan all along. To capture me like and cage me like a Mockingbird.

Nate's choice of book for today hit me like a brick. I was indeed a Mockingbird, wasn't I? My only purpose in life was to entertain these men and when they weren't around, I was locked up.

I was hurting so bad after seeing William here as well, deep down I had hoped that he wasn't involved in starving and beating me but he was. I believed in him, his past, his future and look at him now.

Why was he teary eyed? Too happy to keep his composure? Tears of joy of having me at his feet?

I crawled past Nate and kissed William's shoes, both of them. After all he was the one who fooled me for two whole years, he deserved special treatment. I looked up at his face and saw him crying. A drop of water fell from his eyes to my right cheek.
