Salvation

Chapter 3

//Melisa\\

It was him.

I knew it by his appearance.

His brown floppy hair falling perfectly in front of his eyes. His gorgeous crystal blue eyes. His shy smile.

Him.

My last memory of him was 3 years ago. David (the guy who locked me up) burst through the door. A scrawny brunette dangling in his arms.

The brunette was flung into a corner. His head smashing against the wall as he was flung. There was a whimper of pain from his direction.

The door was slammed shut and we were surrounded by darkness once again.

He tried to sit him self up against the wall but collapsed.

I rushed over to him. My rope binds allowing me to move all around the basement -my limit was the first step of the stairs to the house- I gently grabbed his arms and lifted him to his feet. He was shaky at first so I put his arm around me and staggered to the corner I had been living in the past 2 years.

He was skinny. Almost looked dead. It looked like he had been starved. He was dripping with sweat.

"Hey, what's your name?" I asked softly.

"Sam." he muttered softly with a hint of pain behind his words. "Why am I here? What is this place? Who are you?" he asked a little worried and panicked.

"I have no idea why we are here. I've been here for 2 years and haven't got any clue why. As for where we are, that's a total mystery. I was knocked out as soon as I was thrown into his truck. As for who I am, my name's Melisa."

***

The past 2 years had sucked but once Sam showed up it wasn't so bad. We spent everyday and night together. We didn't have much of a choice being that we were locked in a basement together. Him and I were close. When it stormed I cuddled up to him so I could sleep since I was terrified of lighting and thunder. He was there for me. Him and I were inseparable.

After a year of connecting and being trapped together, we fell for each other.

1 year of us basically "dating". We did all the couple stuff. Just, in the basement.

***

We were asleep on the blanket pallet we made on the floor as a makeshift bed when all of a sudden the door bursts open. Sam had only been here 2 years and he was already being yanked from me.

Right before he was drug out of my reach he kissed me.

"I love you. And I'll never stop looking for you." he said with determination in his eyes. I didn't get to say anything before he was ripped out of sight.

I spent an entire year all alone. Being alone can do things to someone's mental state.

My scars were evidence of that.

After not seeing him for and entire year, I didn't know what to do.

As soon as my foot hit the ground I completely forgot about it being my first day and walked right up to him. I tapped him on the shoulder.

"Sam?" I said terrified but hopeful.

"Melisa?!" he turned to me and said, with his crystal blue eyes digging into me. He leapt into my arms and hugged me so tight, I thought all of my pieces would fall back together.

I honestly really loved writing this chapter. Idk why but it was fun. Hope you all are enjoying the book so far.

My chapters are probably going to be short most of the time but I'll make it up by going into detail and writhing more chapters.
