Gemma's Pov:
My dad had his hands on my mouth to stop my screams. His hands gripping mine. "Don't scream, darling. This is for your own good," He said. He took his hands off of my mouth. I screamed completely ignoring this instructions. He tied my arms together. "I told you not to scream," He said. The next thing I know I feel a sharp sting on my cheek. He hit me. I whimpered. "Stay there and make no sound or you get another one," He said. I nodded. I looked outside the window. The gas station was growing farther and farther away.
Where is Jack, I thought. I sat in the car not saying a thing. I couldn't do a thing. I sat in silence until we got to a place I didn't know. They drove in and parked. They both got out of the car and my dad opened the car door. He pulled me out. My dad grabbed my hands to lead me around. We entered a room. It had a table, chair and clothes. My dad untied my hands and started for the door. "Change into these. Don't try to escape or else," He said. He shut the door with a huge force. The room was very plain other than the table and chair in the middle. It had three lights in it. It had two in the middle and one in the back.
I grabbed the clothes. I had a plain white tee shirt and black leggings on. There was no hair tie so I couldn't put my hair in a ponytail. I unbraided the section of my hair that was braided. My dad came in again. He lead me to the back and grabbed the chair. He tied me to the chair. "I'll be back with your mother and a special guest," He said. I sat in the chair with my hair hanging down. It covered my face.
I heared the door open and I looked up. It was my parents. "Hello honey," My mother said. "Why am I here," I asked with a sudden courage. "Well me and your father want a family again. We miss you and love you so much," She replied. "What this is," I laughed coldly. "It isn't love,". "Is too," My dad said. "No it isn't! What you guys need is a mental asylum," I said. I regretted it instantly.
"Oww," I yelled. My mom was pulling my hair. "Don't talk to us like that," She yelled. A tear escaped my eye. She let go of my hair. "I think it is time for the special guest. It will be the cherry on top!" Mom said. "Come on in," They said. I again slouched on the chair. My hair in my face.
The door opened. I looked up. "Jack!" I yelled. I wanted to hug him and kiss him. He didn't respond to me. He looked sad and full of regret. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Jack hasn't been truthful," Mom said with a devilish smile. "What are they talking about Jack," I asked.
"Yeah Jack what are we talking about," Dad said with the same expression as mom. "I-I.." Jack stuttered. "Cat got your tongue Jack," Mom said. "I have been..." Jack mumbled.
Mom couldn't take it anymore. "He has been working for us," she said. I looked over at Jack. He avoided eye contact. It said it all. My parents walked to the door. "We will give you two sometime alone," They laughed and walked out.
"I trusted you!" I yelled. "I know. I'm sorry," Jack said. "Sorry won't cut it! You used me. Was I just some person you could use and then throw away." I said. "No you were so much more," Jack said. "Did it even mean anything to you when we kissed. When you told me you liked me. Or was that just another piece of trash to you," I said.
Jack stayed quiet. "Look at me Jack. This is where this lie has gotten you." I said. "What did they offer you for this? Was it money?" I asked. "I needed the money," He said. I looked at him with pure disgust. "You played with my feelings. You basically destroyed my life. Living with those lunatics will be my end. If you would have seen the things they did to me years ago. I hate you Jack," I said venom lacing each word. "GET OUT," I yelled.Jack untied me and went to the door. "All the things I said. I meant," He said. He closed the door.
She left. I sat in the chair with all the tears I held in during the talk came out. I was heartbroken. All thanks to Jack.

Romansa“So Gemma, do you remember when I said I was going to New York?” Jack asked. “ Yeah, I do.” I remembered. “ I was thinking since you told me you wanted to leave here and have an adventure,” He paused. Probably thinking if he wanted to tell me. Jack...
