Never Look Back

17. Your insane!

Chapter 17:

Lily's POV:

We've been traveling for weeks now. Moving from one place to another before I even have a chance to figure out where we are. We've been staying in hotels and motels and leaving the next morning, at times Nick has even made me where a wig so if the cops are on the look out I wouldn't look like my normal self.

So far Nick hasn't tried to hurt me or anything, I've tried to be on his good side.... well I guess if trying to escape every second is being good. I haven't had any luck though, the farthest I've gotten is only out of the room and down the stairwell.

I have hope that Cole will find me, but its starting to dwindle. Its already been about a month and I've heard nothing of Cole, or cops for that matter. Nick has everything planned, he's had years to perfect this and the madness to make him almost impossible to anticipate. The way its going, I may never see Cole again. But I have a plan, its not the best but its better than just trying to escape.

I feel the car pull finally to a stop. I wait for my door to be opened and my blindfold to be taken off. The door opens and I'm pulled out, but instead of the blindfold being taken off I'm being led to somewhere.

"What are you doing?" I question.

He keeps silent and continues to walk me up some steps. A door opens and I'm led inside, once I hear the door shut the cloth covering my eyes is taken off and my blindness is lifted. I blink and look around at my surroundings. I'm in a.... normal looking house surprisingly.

"Welcome home."

I turn and look at Nick,"What is this place?"

"This," he gestures his arms around,"Is our new home. Or.... a house my uncle bought a few years ago, he lives in another state. He's pretty well off and is to much of a dick to give us any money," he tells me casually.

I glare at him,"My home is with Cole!"

His eyes harden and he suddenly grips my arms,"YOU ARE MINE NOW!" he roars shaking me,"You'll never see Cole again!" he then lets me go smiling,"You can't escape, there are no phones here, I have security cameras all around. You can't leave, so I suggest you get used to living with me," he turns and starts walking away from me.

"Hey!," I shout, he stops and looks back at me,"What am I supposed to do?" I ask,"You can't keep me here. What about food? Exercise? Sunlight?"

"Months of food is stocked in the kitchen and pantry, I'll go out every week or so since I'm sure your to a fan of nonperishable food," he tells me smirking,"And I will take you out every so often, also this house has a gym," he nods at my annoyed expression then walks off.

As soon as he's gone I run to the front door and bang and try to open it like my life depends on it, which it might. My heart drops as the door doesn't even as much as budge. It is built strong and has dozens of locks on it.

I take a step back and kick it as hard as I can. My leg throbs painfully,"Ow!" I yell and clutch my hurt foot. I fall my the ground and sit with my back up against the door. I finally break down and tears stream down my cheeks, the overwhelming feel of helplessness and hopelessness engulfs me.

Footsteps travel toward me and Nick enters the room again. He walks over and kneels next to me, suddenly I'm his arms and he stroking my hair,"Lily, why are you crying?" he asks softly.

I sniffle,"Be...because I"m never going to see Cole again."

He continues to pet my hair and shush me,"Its alright, don't cry. You have me." I then wrap my arms around him and sob into his shoulder.

I later wake in a dark bedroom. I guess I fell asleep crying on Nicks shoulder. I go to sit up but I'm held back, by a pair of arms!

I bite my lip to keep from yelping and slowly turn around, its Nick.

I slowly try to unwrap his arm around me but he moves and cuddles up to me more. I sigh and more forcefully try to move away, he moves again and his breathing changes showing that he's waking. I freeze and wait for him to fall back asleep, he doesn't though.

"Lily?" he asks sleepily,"You ok?"

"Uh yea, I'm fine," I say softly.

He nods and pulls me closer to him. I lay there stiff, unsure how to get out.

He suddenly sighs,"Lily, tell me what's the matter?" he asks.

I push away from him,"You just kidnapped me and took me from my boyfriend and now your trying to cuddle up to me?!" I say outraged.

He's quiet a moment,"Ok I see you need some time."

"Time! I NEED to get away from YOU!" I shout.

The bed moves and a light turns on. Nick is now by a light switch near a door, he glares at me,"YOU ARE NEVER GOING BACK TO HIM!" he yells then opens the door,"So get used to it!"

Slam! The door closes.

I stare at the closed door for what seems like hours then I eventually fall back asleep with tears dried on my face.

A delicious smell awakens me the next morning. I stretch and open my eyes, for a second I think I'm at home again, that happy feeling disappears once Nick walks through the door.

He smiles and walks to me with a plate of pancakes and tea. He sets it on my lap, I stare at the plate of food then at him.

He sighs,"Look I'm sorry. I know this is hard for you and you need time to get used to this and me."

I cross my arms,"I'm never going to get used THIS," I hiss,"You can't just take me from my life. I have to finish college, get a job..."

"And you can do that here," Nick tells me,"I've set you up on an online college course. You have a different name though and the teacher lives in Asia or somewhere so don't even think about trying to tell her that you've been kidnapped or whatever," he says kidnapped like its no big thing,"And when I can trust you better, then you can get a job, or better yet get one of those online jobs."

I stare at his smiling face,"Your insane!"

His face darkens,"NEVER call me INSANE!" he growls and suddenly throws the lamp against the wall.

I flinch back afraid of what he might do to me with his anger.

HIs eyes soften and his body relaxes,"I'm sorry, its just I hate when people call me that. They said it enough back at the institute." he mutters.

INSTITUTE!!!

Despite the fact that he is truly insane and even was in an insane asylum, I feel kinda sorry for him. The look of sadness on his face shows that he hasn't had an easy life. It doesn't make up for how he kidnapped me, but now I know there might be a bigger reason for him being like this.
