The Beginning to Our End

Chapter 5

Song: 'Stressed Out' by Twenty Øne Piløts

I'm really trying to do more edits because they are fun.

Monday 4:35 AM 13 more days to find Ally

Punch. Cough. Kick. Choke. Slap. Curse. Shouting. Silence. Punch. Cough. Kick. Choke. Slap. Curse. Shouting. Silence. Punch. That's been the continuous cycle for the past 3 hours with 30 minute breaks in between. They get in my face yell questions at me and when I refuse to respond they beat me up causing me to have a coughing fit while choking on the air that's taken away from me. This situation holds second place on my 'Worst Experiences' list. There are three men surrounding me as I sit on the floor with my hands bound together with this skin burning rope. PJ is ranked lowest out of the three. Nobody really listens to his ideas or pays attention to him really, they just boss him around while he follows them like a unloved puppy. Jonsy is the second in command. He's probably the flunky in case anything goes wrong, but can still give out some pretty good ideas. Finally there's Finn, the ring leader of this triangle of misfit toys.

PJ- Guys it's no use she's not gonna talk.
F- Shut up PJ I'm tryna think over here.
J- Finn She's not gonna talk. At this rate she'll be dead by morning and we need her alive.
F- I have an idea.

A devilish smirk appeared on Finn's face as he stared at me as I gave him the best death glare I could muster. Finn nodded his head and next thing I know I'm being thrown over PJ's shoulder and carried off somewhere.

A- Put me down!
PJ- Please don't yell, that'll only make matters worse.
A- Oh yeah?
PJ- Nothing is worse than not knowing where you're going.
A-I can think of worse.
PJ- Yeah right. Give me two things.
A- Hmm let's see. Getting snatched off the street by strangers, being questioned, beaten for no reason, choked out, ki-
PJ- Ok ok you've proved your point!
A- Then put me down so I can go home!

I started squirming trying to escape PJ's grip. Sadly that only made his hold on me even tighter. I could feel the blindfold getting loose as it hung from my face. I couldn't see too much. We were going down a dim hallway with empty rooms.

PJ- Sorry Princess, I can't do that.
A- What did you just call me?
PJ- What? Princess?
A- Don't call me princess.
PJ- Whatever.... princess.

I was about to yell at him but I was thrown onto the cold hard concrete. I hissed as I rolled around trying to ease the pain.

PJ- Oops.
A- Asshole.

PJ pulled me up by my bicep and sat me on a nearby bed. He cut the rope off of my wrists and pulled the blindfold over my head. We were in a cell, the walls have white padding, the floor was concrete, and the bed was metal with nothing on it except a thin sheet. There's a bucket in the corner and a TV on the wall playing a 24/7 Curious George marathon.

PJ- This is gonna be your home for the next 8 days so get comfy. Unless you want to tell Finn and Jonsy what they wanna know.
A- Fuck off.
PJ- Suit yourself. If you need anything there's a bell in the corner you can ring if you need anything. Not that anyone will come running if you ring it anyway.

I growled as the cell door closed leaving me locked in a shitty room as Curious George played in the background. I decided to lay back on the bed jumping as the cold metal hit my skin through the sheet. I dwelled on the events that occurred in the last 24 hours as mixtures of my recent abduction and my past collided. My heart rate quickened and I was overwhelmed with emotions. I did the only thing I could do lay in fetal position and cry. I cry myself to sleep as one thought repeated in my mind. Without her my universe is thrown into chaos. Stevie where are you?

SPOV

5:40 AM

I've been walking for countless hours occasionally sitting down or taking a bathroom break to rest. I'm currently in the middle of nowhere as 'High By The Beach' by Lana Del Rey blasts through the speakers. My music was spotted randomly, I got a call from Ruby.

S- Hey Rubes what's up?
D- Mommy?
S- Hey Dinah. What are you doing up?
D- I'm waiting for you to come back.
R- Sorry Stevie I tried to get her to bed.
S- It's ok Ruby.
D- When are you and Momma coming back?
S- Umm....

I don't know what to say. I can't just tell my daughter I don't know if or when me and Ally will return. The fact that she's waiting for us to come back is adorable and heart breaking at the same time.

D- Mommy? Are you there?

Hearing the worried tone in Dinah's voice caused a lump to form in my throat as tears brimmed at my waterline threatening to fall. My voice cracked as I sniffed and responded.

S- Yeah baby girl I'm here.
D- Are you ok?
S- Mhm I'm just fine.

I wiped my eyes and took a deep breath trying to calm down.

S- Momma and I will be back soon ok?
D- How soon?
S- In a few days ok?
D- Ok.
S- Be good for your aunts ok? I love you, goodnight.
D- I love you too Mommy goodnight.

I ended the call and leaned up against a rock as tears silently fell down my face. I spotted a hotel in the distance and began to make my way there so I could get some sleep. I have to find Ally, I will find Ally and nothing is going to get in my way.
