Chapter 20:

Scars

(JJ's Point Of View)

I gritted my teeth together in pain, I was sure my right arm was broken, but this guy didn't care, he was trying to hurt me. He pulled out a knife, his face sickly twisted, his mouth tightly together, he wasn't going to stop. I heard Strauss desperately fighting ringer out, but she couldn't, which made her angry. He walked towards me, he knife glinting in his hand. I could see him clearly, the brown eyes, the black hair, messy and disheveled. He looked at my arm that wasn't broken, and back at his knife.

"I'm sorry about this. I'm sorry." I gulped as he said it, expecting what came next.

He slid the knife across the width of my arm, I gulped trying to to let him know it hurt. He did it again and again, luckily on the top of my arm, at least I'd live. He did it four times then stopped,eating he knife fall from his hand, it hit he ground. He walked over to Strauss. He balled his fist, it made my heart race.

"No no! Whatever your going to do to her do to me!" my voice echoed off the dark walls, and he turned looking at me.

"No, leave her be it's me you want to hit." she gulped loudly and I heard her breathe come quickly.

He hit her hard, I heard his fist hit her face, I shut my eyes trying to make the awful sound go away. He hit her about four times, I heard her gasp and spit out blood. My hear pounded and I rocked my head back and fourth.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry..." he said as he walked out the door.

I heard Erin's sigh of relied. I stared at the blood trickling down my arm, and then I spoke up.

"You should've let me take those." I said.

"I'm fine." I heard her voice cracking holding back tears.

"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." she said sniffling.

"I wish I could help you...." my voice trailed.

"Are you ok?" she said her voice shaking.

"Yeah yeah I'm fine." I grind my teeth together feeling the pain race up my arm.

He came back in the room.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry..." he was having a breakdown, his eyes bloodshot, the scar along his arm looked large now because of he weakness in his body.

"I I I'm sorry I'm sorry..." he kept saying pacing.

"Anthony... He told you to do this."

"Yeah yeah... I'm sorry I'm sorry." his voice was shaky and he shook rapidly, I knew he was regretting this whole thing.

"I have to... I have to." he grabbed Erin's bound wrist and pulled it back till I heard a sickening crack.

She screeched and I heard her moan.

"No no you little. I'll kill you I'll kill you leave her alone!" I screeched struggling. He slapped my face, it hurt but I didn't flinch.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry..." he said again.

"Listen to me! Listen!" he turned and looked at me.

"We can help you, let us go, please, Anthony doesn't have to control you." he looked at me.

"He was always bad wasn't he?" it was time to tall him of this. "He was a bad kid, always got you in trouble, didn't he? He hated you and you just tried to protect yourself. He gave you that scar right?" I knew it was a lie but I had to convince him he wasn't bad.
