Corey's Pov

I hate him, I hate him so much, he left me alone in that lonely place…

“I used to dream that one day you'd return and take me home. Where you'd love me and we'd be a family.

You didn't come, though.”

I sit there looking at him, he is sitting in the chair looking out the window. I made sure he properly takes his meds this time, I can't have him leave without getting any closure.

He tilts his head a little, “I did come, once… but you weren't there.” He said.

He hugs the portrait of Aaron and Amoya, he misses them.

“You did?”

“You weren't there, adopted into a lovely family.”

“Dad,”

“...unfortunately.”

What is going through his head?

“No, fortunately.” I corrected him.

“No, unfortunately.”

I'm getting angry,

“My dad is great! He was the best thing that could have ever happened to me!”

He finally turns to look at me, “but not to me.”

I get up, “if you aren't gonna talk to me straight.”

“I was 16, he was 18. I remember that night.”

I went silent, “what?”

“that soft blond hair, beautiful blue eyes. I used to be so infatuated with them. Now it's something that I can never separate from. I've run, I've hid, I've fought.”

I listened because it's ever so rare to get answers from him.

“I've begged, complied, but it just never worked out, he wanted more than I can give. Wanted me at his whim and called it love. He told you I had an abortion… did he ever tell you how he kicked his own child out his stomach… because he didn't like that it was probably a boy and I'd love him more.”

Lies, lies, lies…

I couldn't listen, so I got up and hurried out of the room. It's all lies, dad! It's all lies.

I bumped into my dad on my way out, he looked at me holding my arms.

“Corey?”

My body is trembling, I'm scared. I can't, has he always looked like this?

His expressions, has it always looked so disingenuous?

“Corey? Are you okay?”

“Did you do it?”

“Corey?”

“Did you do it for real?”

He looks me deep into the eyes, “no”.

A tear fell down my eyes as I shook my head, no, you're lying. He is lying. I could feel his grip getting tighter…

“Corey… I think you should rest for a bit…”

I saw his other hand, there was a syringe.

“Dad…”

I closed my eyes to prepare myself, but felt a heavy thrust then a heavy shake as I fell to the floor. I quickly looked up, it was Johan, his arms wrapped around his neck, choking him, johan bites into his neck ripping it as he screams.

“JOHAN!!”

“Corey, RUN!!”

“JOHAN?!”

“Just run!”

I got up quickly trying to catch my balance, when dad threw Johan over his shoulder onto the floor, Johan gasped. I'm scared, this is terrifying, he quickly grabbed my shoulder then quickly wrapped his arm around my neck choking me, I struggled as I hit his arm to be free.

“Don't worry, this will be really quick.” He whispers in hase.

“...dad… urgh!”

Suddenly there is another thrust shaking me, I could feel pains developing in my stomach.

“Ugh!’

Dad turns to see Johan had tried to stab him with the syringe. But he only back fist him around the face, I was in immense pain, my stomach.

It hasn't been a long since, he drops down passing out, Johan gets up. Help me.

“It hurts!” I complained.

“Do you know how to get out of here?”

I shake my head, no. Dad never told me much about this place.

“Let's hide, you've got your phone?” Johan said in a hurry.

I take out my phone, my stomach hurts, my baby, am I gonna lose her?

“My baby, I don't want to lose her.” I said.

Johan dials 119, immediately reporting the situation. Soon he calls Amoya then connects Aaron to the call.

Aaron's POV

I was in the middle of listening to Nicklaus, when I saw my phone ring, it was an unknown number. Nicklaus looks at me then nods, I answer.

“Amoya, Aaron. *huff*huff*”

My heart lightens in shock, mom! “Where are you?!”

“You guys are okay?” He asks.

“It hurts, Johan.” I heard Corey in the background.

“Corey!”

“JOHANNA!!! COREY!!”

I was startled by the banging in the background, “Mom!”

Both Amoya and I yelled.

“Listen there isn't much time to explain, Corey tem them the address now!”

“Xxxx…. Xxxx… xxx…xxx.. ugh!” Corey huffs.

“I want you guys to know, I love you.”

“FUCK!!! JOHANNA OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR.”

The call was cut off, I'm scared. Mom! What is happening to my mom?

I got up immediately as Nick rushed with me. What happened it's only last night that I saw Corey. Who was that in the background?

Johan's POV

Why didn't I kill him? God!!

I look at Corey sweating, he looks like he is barely holding on. “Johan it hurts… it really does.”

I gently hug him, trying to comfort him. Looking at him crying.

“I'm sorry… I didn't know believe I'm sorry for searching… I just… I just wanted to know.”

“It's not your fault Corey,” I said.

I look at him gritting his teeth while sweating profusely. “Could you ever bring yourself to forgive me?”

Johan smiles, “you're still my child regardless.”

I felt him squeezing onto my hand, and I could remember the day he was born.  He didn't want me to let go.

“I don't want to die…” Corey cries.

“You're not gonna die, you're not gonna die.”

I soon look up seeing that man using an ax to cut through the door. I hug Corey resting his head on my shoulder.

“I'll protect you.” I said.

Corey swallows hiding in my embrace, I should have done this much earlier. Maybe he wouldn't have been so easily swayed by the lies and manipulation of that man.
