Lily's P.O.V.

I felt my mind coming back to earth with my eyes fluttering open, my visions still blurry.

My head is killing me!

I groaned and tried my best to move but I was still tied. I wasn't tied in a chair anymore. Only my wrists and feet are tied but I found myself inside a small room with no furniture. Cracked walls, ripped wallpapers, and dusty windows. It looks so scary.

I tried wiggling my hands free but it was no use. The ropes hugged my hands and feet so tightly.

I heard the doorknob jiggle with the sound of keys. The door opens, revealing my mother holding a knife.

"I can see you're awake."

"What is this some kind of pleasure to you? You like seeing me suffer? Do you think that when I die, you'll still be happy? I don't think so. You deserve to rot in hell!" I yelled, sweat rolling on my temples.

"Yes. I will clearly be happy when you're gone. And if I'm gonna rot in hell, then I'll take you with me." She said coming closer and closer to me.

And with that, a long sharp pain slid across my arm making me scream. I watched my skin as my flesh was cut open with blood dripping down onto the floor.

I yelped in pain letting out screams and tears.

I heard my mom laugh then kicked me into the stomach. I groaned in pain.

"Good for you." She said before exiting the room and locking the door.

I laid there. Helpless.

Maybe this is really the end. Maybe, this is the path of which I should take...alone. The path where I'll die in pain and horror.

I thought I was strong.

Strong enough to face every problem that life gives me. I thought everything will be okay. But no. I was wrong.

Everything I thought good in my life never came.

I want to give up already. But my heart says don't. Not yet.

Suddenly, I felt a buzz in my pocket.

Shit. MY PHONE!

I managed to get up and struggle to reach my pocket and grabbed my phone.

I completely forgot about my phone! Good thing my mom didn't notice it from my pocket. I guess she was too drunk to see it.

I pressed the green button not even looking at the caller i.d. and placed it on my ear with my both-tied-up-hands.

"Hello? Lily?! Where are you!? We're so worried about you! Tell us where you are!" I heard Shawn's voice on the other line.

"S-Shawn?! Please help me! My mom took me and I don't know where I am right now. Please... help me!" I whisper-yelled.

"Okay, Lily. We're currently at the police station. The police are tracking our conversation right now to know where your location is. Do not hang up, you hear? Just hang on, okay? We'll rescue you."

I took a deep breath as I felt my arm get numb. I looked at it and it instantly turned white from all the blood I lost.

"Shawn.. I... I don't think I c-can hold much l-longer.." I managed to say.
