Falling For You || Shawn Mendes

Chapter 9 - Nice try

Lily's P.O.V.

"Mom?"

"How are you, Lily?" she asked. "Missed me?"

"Why are you doing this? What do you want?!"

"What do I want? To keep you miserable! That's what I want."

"Why don't you just let me go and let me be! You never treated me right since dad died. It's like I'm not your daughter anymore!" I yelled, tears rapidly running on my cheeks, anger building up inside of me.

"It's because you never did anything right. You are worthless! You're just a nobody."

"Stop."

"No one will ever love you,"

"I said, stop."

"You're better off dead!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" I yelled balling up my fists until my knuckles turned white. "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHO I AM AND WHAT I CAN DO. YOU DON'T KNOW ME! ALL YOU DID WAS TALK BULLSHIT ABOUT ME. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? GO FUCK YOURSELF! I'M NOT WORTHLESS. YOU ARE THE ONE WHO'S WORTHLESS. KEEP THAT IN YOUR PEA-SIZED BRAIN."

She growled and suddenly pulls a gun out of her pocket and loads it before aiming it at me.

"Go ahead! Shoot me. You said it yourself; I'm better off dead." I said looking at her in the eyes.

She suddenly laughs then lowered her gun.

"Are you stupid or not? Do you really think that I'm gonna kill you that easily?"

"What?" I asked.

She walked closer to me and gave me an evil look.

"I'm not gonna end your life that easily. You're gonna suffer. The way I suffered in 10 years." She said looking sharply in my eyes.

"You won't get away with this." I said.

"Watch me." She said then duct taped my mouth. She grabbed the keys on the table near me then exited the room before locking the door.

I need help.

I searched for something that I could use to get myself untied.

I then saw a small knife just across the room. I quickly lifted myself with the chair and dragged it across the room.

I slowly extended my leg and reached for the small knife then dragged it near my reach.

"What do you think you're doing?" I heard my mom's voice behind my back. I just remained silent.

She came up to me and picked up the small knife that I was supposed to get.

Darn it.

"Nice try." My mom laughed then dragged my chair to the center again.

I groaned through the duct tape on my mouth.

"You're not gonna go anywhere Lily. And to be 100% sure about that, I'm gonna give you a gift."

And by those words, I felt a sharp needle pushed into my flesh on my back. I then felt drowsy and my sight became blurred.

"Sweet dreams, Lily."

It was the last thing that I heard before letting my eyes close shut.

Okay, just to correct some things

Lily's mom said that her dad died when she was 7 years old, therefore it has been 10 years since her dad was gone. I'm very sorry if I mistakenly wrote 11 years instead of 10 in the previous chapters. My bad lol.

Anyways, hope you liked this chapter so far. I'll update as soon as I get the chance.

Byeee!
