Destiny ~ Book Two Of The "Meant to Be" Series

Chapter 30

It's stupid how I thought we were safe again. How I thought I was safe. I guess I never let myself believe Eric is capable of such. Last time when he threatened my family, he was a coward, because he lied about it all. He just had a gun in his hand and scared me off like that. This time, his work is more professional. I still don't get what entirely happened. One second I'm with Tobias and Olivia running to the police station from the parking lot, and the other I'm being dragged and put in a sack.
I thought it was over. We all did. It's stupid how naive we are. How foolish.
Everything happened so fast, my head still can't process what exactly happened. I tried to scream, and get away from the tight grip of someone holding me. I couldn't get away. A rag was placed on my mouth, keeping the terrifying screams and yelps muffled. No one heard. No one noticed.
     It's been a day or two. Maybe even more. I can't tell since I haven't seen any sunlight during the time I've been here. There is no window, no light. Just darkness and emptiness. Sometimes Eric enters the room, watches me as I cry, throws a piece of bread at me and leaves. It's cold here. I keep shivering and blubbering.
     "You really think he loved you?" Eric asks as he moves around the room. My knees are brought up to my chin and I'm hiding my face between them as I cry. "Do you?!" He asks loudly as he slaps me hard on the cheek, making me let out a yell.
     "Yes..." I answer so I won't get hit again. An almost inhuman laugh escapes his mouth when he heard my answer.
     "You're foolish! What is there to like about you? Huh? Nothing! It's stupid that you tried to rescue his sister when he would never care about you!
      "You're wrong..." I dare to speak, but I regret it because that's when he kicks me hard on my ribs, making me lie on the ground and having it difficult to breathe properly.
      "Oh, am I? The things he's done to you in the past, the amount of times he's lied proves it all, Tris. Where do you think he went when he kept sneaking out of the house? Lied about his taxes? He's cheating on you! There are prettier girls than you. Hotter, sexier. Girls who can please him, unlike you! That's what guys want these days!
Also, last year he almost killed you and did nothing to make you survive! Does he really care? It has all been a lie, Tris! All of it! It surprises me you haven't figured that out already. I he really loved you, he would of come by now." He says and walks out of the room, closing the door snd making everything go back to darkness. Making everything fall silent until my cries begin again. My painful sobs is the only thing to be heard in this small room filled with darkness.
    This is when I'd like my life to stop, so I can reach the peaceful end of everything. I'd kill myself right now, with no second thought, no doubt, but there is nothing I can cause my death with. No rope, pills, gun. Anything. No one needs me, no one cares. I'm just another problem, another deathly complication to to their lives.
     It's my birthday today, and this is how I'm celebrating it. Locked in a room, crying and thinking of ways I can die. I turn 18 today. And I know I'm young, and I have my whole life in front of me, so that things can get better, but do they ever? Is everything perfect in the end? Will I feel nothing but pure happiness? No. No I will not. I don't think I'll ever be able to be happy again, or smile truthfully, or laugh, or be a normal teenage girl.
     And Eric trying to prove how much Tobias hates me hasn't made things any better. I've been believing everything he tells me more and more, even though I know I shouldn't. The hurt of thinking that he hates me is unbearable. I know my parents hate me, and it makes me feel like the worst daughter ever, which isn't the best feeling either.
     As all of the bad things I've done come to me, I cry louder. I curled up into a ball in the corner of the room. I shiver and let out occasional screams in pain of my earlier beatings. I've searched for ways to get away, but there aren't any except the huge metal door with a large lock that locks and unlocks only from the outside, so I'm stuck here. I don't know what's gonna happen, but I hope it ends well. And by "well" I mean death.

A/N
Im sorry for ruining the story again by getting Tris kidnapped but I got an idea that I should of thought about earlier. There is a way I want the story to end and I couldn't do that without having her captured.
The story is close to an end, so I'll have a few more chapters uploaded.
Also; I was thinking of having a "Author's Note Q&A" after uploading the Epilogue, so if you'd like that, please leave questions in the comments,
  Bye 💘
