Broken {Completed}

"And now we have some disturbing news. A body was found last night in a back alley. The police are not releasing any further details other than the victim, Owen Yates, a local college student."

I looked up at the tv screen and saw a man he looked to be in his early twenties, dark hair, dark eyes, strong bone structure, tan skin... He looked similar to Gunnar. It unnerved me.

I got in my car and went straight to school. These passed few months were hard for me. I'd fallen for a guy that was everything I wanted, but not everything that I deserved.

After being with Adam for years, I almost forgot what it was like to laugh, to smile, to feel happy, but then Gunnar came along. When I saw him walking outside to check the mail, I was instantly attracted to him, but at the time that's all it was. A physical attraction that I wanted satisfied.

I never thought that in the few weeks we were together that he would change me. Gradually I stopped going to Adam. All he did was hurt me, use me, and beat me. In truth I felt worthless, but I didn't know anything else.

When I moved here it was Adam that gave me my fame and popularity. He took me in and gave me a new meaning. It was good for a while, but Adam's father died. Something changed him, and he became controlling. What used to be love turned into something dark and dangerous.

At first I thought it was fun in games. The whips, the chains, the toys, I thought he was going through a phase, but he only got worse. He would hit me harder and humiliate me sometimes in front of his friends, but I still couldn't bring myself to let him go for whatever reason.

Until Gunnar came along. I almost forgot what a gentle touch felt like. I was so used the abuse that it became a second nature to me, and I in turned that on to Gunnar by controlling him, making him do things that he didn't want.

When he dumped me, I hated the broken heart feeling. I was furious and ranted to Adam. When I found out Gunnar was in a coma I went straight to him. Told Adam that what he did was wrong, and I never wanted to see him again.

From that moment I saw something change in him, and it scared the hell out of me, so much so, that I began to seek counseling.

When I got to school and walked into music class Gunnar was sitting by himself. That's the way it's been for the passed few days. He won't talk to any one. Not even Feo. Mr. Leto wasn't here, so we were stuck with some substitute.

I made my way to Gunnar and sat close enough to talk, but still kept my distance. "What's going with you lately?" I whispered.

He didn't respond.

"I know I'm not the best person, but I do care about you."

Still nothing.

"I know that I'm a horrible person, but I'm trying. I want to help you relieve your tension. I'll do anything. I don't care if all you do is use me." When nothing came out of him, I stopped trying.

School was long and tedious, but when it finally ended, I went to the club. I wasn't sure what I wanted, but anything was better than nothing. I ordered a few drinks and got buzzed. That's when I saw him.

Adam was standing by the back door dressed in black from head to toe. He was looking right at me, and then he left. I chased after him, but didn't see him anywhere.

"Adam?" I called. "Adam!" I cried again. It was cold out, and I was about to go back inside, something hit me on the head turning my world dark.
