Chapter 26

Chapter 26
~Karli's POV~

Day 3-
I woke up, and Patrick was looking through the cell bars at Nate on the phone. He had his hands on the bars holding both sides of his head up. I guess he was thinking, but what about?

"Hey," he turned around and saw me looking at him.

"What were you thinking about?" I asked questionably while sitting myself up.

"Just why he's gone crazy? I mean, he loves you and all but he needs to learn how to move on. He wanted to kill me in Highschool, I was on his," he made a quote-on-quote with his hands," list."

I squinted curious," What list? When did he make it?"

"Anyone who ever likes you got up on that list, and I was one of them. He made is back in the 12th grade when you two were dating." He replied sitting down beside me. My face showed fear.

Nate hung up the phone and started walking towards the cell. He opened the door and walked in, then he grabbed Patrick by the front of his shirt and pulled him out of the cell, shutting it behind him. He sat Patrick on a metal chair in front of the cell, where I could see. Nate tied him up then covered his mouth with the same white cloth he used first.

"Now," he said walking around the chair in a complete circle,"This man here, will have to be torchered until he tells Karli was he's been keeping from her."

"Keeping from me? What?" I asked with tears dyed on my face.

Nate started by just one slap in the face, making Patrick spit. "Come on Patrick! Tell her!" Nate yelled, then punching the side of his face making his nose bleed. "Nate! Stop!" I yelled. Nate kept his fist still and he looked at me, smiled, then walked over to a table.

He came back with a whip and threatened to hit Patrick with it. "Tell her or I will," he lifted up the whip. Patrick got the cloth to fall off of his mouth and it was laying on his neck. He looked up at Nate and squinted.

Nate immediately whipped his leg. Patrick moaned in pain. "Ahh...ceee." He yelped. Nate hit him again,this time on his arm. That's gonna leave a bruise. "Nate! Stop please." Patrick said weakly. You could see the sign of fear in his eyes.

"Just tell me," I yelled,"Before he kills you. Please Pat." Pat dropped his head,"Fine." Nate held the whip in his hand and waited for Pat to me the answer.

"I've been lying to you." Pat admitted,"I..my real name is Mathew Patrick. I...made my mother tell the schools my name was Patrick Mathews." Nate smacked him,"Finish." Patrick teared up,"And...and I've liked you."

"Pat...I.." I said," didn't know." My voice was starting to give out,"But...I'm marring Oli, I love him and I want to be with him." His face showed sadness. "Good job," Nate started to clap slowly.

He untied Patrick and instead of putting him in the cell with me, he put him in the cell next to me. We both put our backs up to each other's on the cell bars. "I'm sorry, Mat." I say quietly, but sadly. I stared down at my legs that were curled up against my chest. I put my hand on the ground next to me.

"It isn't your fault, Karli. You did nothing to deserve this..." He replied. Mat slipped is hand through the bars and grabbed mine. I gasped slightly, but I didn't let go. I needed the comfort.

"Mat?" I asked. He answered,"Yeah?" I paused for a minute, gulped then went on,"How long have you liked me?" Mat took a while to answer. "About since the 7th grade. "I'm so sorry Mat..." I replied letting a tear slip down my cheek. "As I said, It isn't your fault." I smiled with sadness and then I let more tears fall down my face.

~2 hours later~

"Wake up you two!" Nate yelled. I opened by eyes and I looked over a Mat, and Nate was picking him up and tying his hands behind his back. Nate smiled at me, I made a confused face back. He then walked out of the cell and sat Mat in that same metal chair. Nate started to tie him up.

"Nate? What are you doing?" I asked trying my hardest to get up without falling.

"You know how I said that "they"will kick in that one day?"

"Yeah,"I stood up with my body hunched over slightly,"What about them?"

"You'll see." He chuckled and stood beside Mat.

I was waiting, waiting to see what Nate did to him. I started at Mat who was sitting there looking into my eyes, with tears down his face. "Mat...." I said crying.

He started to shake, ballistic. "Mat! Mat!" I yelled. My eyes were trembling in fear and worry. "Mat, get her." Nate said, as he untied him. "What?" I said backing away from the bars close to Nate.

Mat stood up and walked into the cell and violently turned me around and put my heads behind my back. "Mat! What are you doing?!" I yelled still scared out of my mind,"Nate what'd you do to him?"

Tear after tear fell down my face. "Mat please. This isn't you." I cried as he was tying me up to a pole in the middle of the room. I looked down and let the tears hit the ground.
