Painful pasts and terrible truths

Chapter 76

Virgil only allowed me to beat up the punching bag which made me angry, why can't he let me train properly.

"Whoa easy there kid, don't hurt yourself" Virgil chuckled.

"I don't f*cking care if I hurt myself anymore!" I screamed at him.

"Baby, please calm down, you're scaring me, come on, I think you should stop-" I cut him off as I punched him in the stomach, he let out a heavy groan in response.

"I refuse to calm down" I snapped.

"What the hell, you didn't need to punch me in the stomach" Virgil muttered.

My hand was hurting so much, my knuckles were red and sore, Jesus Christ how toned is he.

"Can I do that again, that actually felt really calming" I requested.

"Sure just don't hit me that hard" Virgil grinned and he took his shirt off, all he had was dog tags around his neck, holy hell, he's hot, I inspected the tags, they had his mum's name on it, did she work in the Air Force too.

"Whoa, I'm guessing the Air Force is how your dad met your mum" I laughed quietly.

"It is actually, she gave me these tags when I was 10, I can't believe she's gone" oh god I've upset him.

"Honey you don't have to talk about her if you'll get upset" I whispered and kissed him.

So I got to work punching him, I got all my rage out and I fell to the floor in exhaustion.

"Do you want to learn how to escape someone choking you" Virgil wondered.

I nodded, I like his self defense lessons, he teaches me some pretty neat stuff, he taught me how to escape a choke hold, he was being really gentle in his demonstration but when it came to actually seeing if I could do it he was more aggressive, it caused me to have a flashback, I was reminded of when Lucas did this to me.

*flashback*

I looked down at my feet suddenly, when I looked up again I could see Lucas' face, his clenched jaw and his enraged expression. He was drunk, I could smell the alcohol from a mile away.

"Do you wanna have a good time, sweetheart" Lucas wondered, a his expression changed into a sickening smile, he kissed me softly.

"No, don't, stop it" I cried, I tried to free myself but it was too late.

"I don't think so darlin' you're going to be my pretty little doll, I'm going to dress you up all nice and pretty and then I'm going to use you" Lucas giggled drunkly, he took his belt off and he wrapped it around my neck, he was strangling me, I couldn't breathe.

"Do...n't" I gasped for air, this was hurting me, I passed out, when I woke up, my head was pounding, I felt a pair of arms wrapped around me, I tried to move but I couldn't, what was the time.

I felt someone kiss the back of my neck, I squirmed and I wriggled away.

"Look at you, you're adorable, I can understand why that boy wants you, you're nice to have sex with, especially when you're unconscious, I like it better when you're unconscious because you don't scream or hit me" Lucas whispered in my ear and he got out bed.

*end of the flashback*

"Olivia, talk to me, you're crying, gorgeous" Virgil panicked, he had me tangled in a sweet embrace.

"I'm sorry" I whispered and nuzzled him.

"What happened kitten" Virgil asked and he stroked my cheek, I felt safe.

"I had another flashback again" I admitted.

"Oh gosh, do you want to talk about it" Virgil wondered and he hugged me again, he smelt nice.

"I don't want to talk about it, ugh I need to distract myself" I sniffed.

"Ok babe I know just what to do, just let me get changed first" Virgil smiled at me when he said that, he kissed my cheek and he took me upstairs.

"Whatever you're planning just forget about it, I'm going to study" I muttered.

*Virgil's POV*

That isn't right, she has nothing to study for, she hasn't got college for another few months yet, I stopped her, she looked beyond upset.

"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it" I asked her, I knew that flashback involved Lucas, he's the one that gave her the scar that's around her neck.

"I d-don't want to l-live anymore, I'm too s-stressed out, I failed my exam and I just suck at everything, I'm in t-too much pain" Olivia broke down into tears.

I instantly pulled her into a hug, she was shaking so much, I was holding on to her tightly.

"Shh it's ok, I'm here, he's not going to hurt you anymore, he's been locked up for a very long time, and I'm sure you can take that exam again, and you don't suck at anything, you're very brave and smart so don't put yourself down like this" I whispered into her hair.

"I'm not smart, I'm dumb beyond all measures" Olivia cried.

"No no no, don't say that, Olivia you're so intelligent, I couldn't ask for a better girlfriend" I comforted her.

"You could ask for a girlfriend who doesn't have emotional problems, and can have sex with you" Olivia sobbed.

"Jesus Christ Virgil put a shirt on" Scott snapped, he didn't seem very happy that I was half naked in the front room.

"I will in a minute" I hissed, I was too busy comforting Olivia to worry about the state of my clothes.

I picked Olivia up and I carried her to my room, that way, I could talk to her with no judgement.

"I don't want to talk about it, just please respect my wishes" Olivia whispered and she decided to lie down.

"Ok, tell me whenever you're comfortable to do so" I told her.

*three weeks later + Olivia's POV*

I was in my room reading my book, no one was around, I simply assumed that this was normal, I looked around and found my uncle tied up with a gag in his mouth.

"What happened" I wondered, removing the gag.

"The island has b-been infiltr-trated" my uncle explained in a panicked tone.

I heard the sound of someone cocking a gun, I turned around instantly, it was my dad.

"What are you doing here" I asked, outraged that he was here.

I didn't have anyone to protect me, Virgil was gone, I was terrified.

"Well I've come to collect my little princess, daddy has been very lonely these last couple of days" my dad pouted.

I shuddered, I wanted to activate my distress signal.

"When my boyfriend gets back you won't be feeling lonely as he'll make you kiss the floor" I growled.

"Which is why I sent a fake distress call for him and the other two" my dad laughed maniacally.

"What's going on" I heard Alan ask.

"Sit down next to her and don't even think about making any f*cking movements" my dad ordered and pointed the gun at Alan who was scared, he scrambled over to me, I held on to him, he was shaking.

I pressed the button on my watch, hopefully he would get the signal.

"Olivia what's wrong" I heard Virgil's voice, oh god, why did he call back.

"You need to get back here and fast" I whispered, his face had a look of worry now.

"I'm on my way, stay put ok, kitten" Virgil advised me.

"What do you think you're doing" my dad questioned me, he took my watch off my wrist, he aimed his gun at it and shot it.

I felt the tears well up in my eyes, I was terrified.
