My Cinderella Story (Liam Payne)

CHAPTER 51

"YOU WORTHLESS FREAKIN KID!!! I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME IN HERE!!!" Joe screamed. I walked into his room on accident. I thought it was Cory's room. "I-I'm sorry, it was an accident." I stuttered. "GET.OUT." He kicked me.

"Hey, I'm sorry about him." Lane said as I walked into the living room. "I'm used to it, I've been stuck here for almost three weeks now. Remember?" I asked. "Oh, yea." Lane said.

Three weeks and I'm still alive, barely. I've been getting dizzy lately and collapsing from exhaustion. And I think every bone in my body is broken. Lane's been a good friend though, he's really nice. I don't get to see Jewels and Cory anymore. They've separated us.

"Do you think I could see my friends?" I asked hopefully. "Sure, but be quick before you get caught." Lane smiled. I limped to Jewels room, she was asleep. I sighed. "I'd hate to wake her up, sleep is the best thing you can get around here." I said. I walked into Cory's room. She wasn't there.

"Where is she?" I asked. "Oh yea, she's in the kitchen. But Al is in there. Sorry." Lane shrugged. "It's okay." I frowned. "Is your snake bite any better?" He asked. "It's healing, but it's been kicked so much I have bruises and scars over it." I said.

Jim walked by and shoved me into the wall, I collapsed on the floor cause my body can't hold much anymore. "Are you okay?" Lane asked. I sat on the floor crying.

"I just want to go home....." I cried. He helped me up and hugged me. "I'll find a way for you and your friends to leave, I swear."

"Thanks, I don't think we'd be alive if it weren't for you, you're a good friend." I said. "You too." He said.

Jewels POV

I woke up in my room. I hurt SO bad, it's been three miserable weeks. I don't know how much longer I can last. It seems like half the time me and Cory are unconscious, Sarah's use to this so it takes a lot to hurt her. I haven't seen either of them in a while ever since we got banned from seeing each other. But the other day I caught a glimpse of her, she didn't look like Sarah.

She looked like a deprived, beaten slave. She had tear stains, blood and scars, bruises, she looked dead. I bet I look the same way though, it's just scary seeing someone that way. Especially when that someone is my best friend.

Cory's POV

I can't take this anymore. I feel like I could die any second, I haven't ate in forever. They feed us once a day, and they only feed us one tiny piece of bread. I miss seeing Jewels and Sarah. I know they're alive, but I wonder how they're doing. It was a scary day we got separated, I thought we were all going to die........

Flashback.

"Hurry, they said if we don't get the living room clean by the time they get back, were in HUGE trouble." Sarah said. "I know, but they just left. Can't we just sit down for a few minutes. I'm exhausted." Jewels whined. "Me too." I agreed. "Fine."

We sat on the couch for a minute or two until Lane walked in. "You guys might want to clean, it doesn't take that long for them to buy beer." He said. "You're right." Sarah sighed. But before we could get up Joe walked in.

"I forgot my money- WHY ARE YOU GIRLS SITTING?!" He yelled. "They were just taking a short break, I let them." Lane said. "I SAID NO BREAKS!! YOU ARE HERE TO WORK!!" He screamed.

He shoved me against the wall and repeatedly banged my head on it while chocking me. "Dad stop!!" Lane yelled. "DAD!!" He pushed his dad away. "YOU GIRLS WILL NEVER GET TO BE TOGETHER AGAIN!!! ALL YOU DO IS CAUSE TROUBLE!! YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FOREVER!!" He screamed.

"Lane put them in their rooms right now!!" He yelled as he slammed the door and walked out.

I collapsed and Lane caught me. "Are you okay?" He asked. "Uh....." The rooms spinning and I feel sick. "I'll help you to your room." He said as he carried me there.

He set me down and the room got darker. "Don't worry, you'll be okay." He whispered. "Lane?" I asked. "Yea?"

"Thank you."

That was a scary day, it was a week ago. And I haven't seen there faces since then.....

Liam's POV

Three weeks.

Three weeks.

Three horrible weeks.

I don't know what to do any more, nothing's worth it. I feel horrible. Management gets mad because I'm always sad and the fans are wondering why. But I don't care. I've looked every single place for her and she's no where. I've turned into some kind of detective looking for her.

Everything I see reminds me of her too. I miss seeing her smile, and hearing her laugh. I've said this a million times but I can't take it anymore. Someone knocked on my door and walked in.

"Hi." Niall smiled. "What's the point of knocking when you barge in anyways?" I frowned. "Sorry, but I came in here to cheer you up." He smile again. How can he smile?

"Niall, how do you smile when you know what's going on?" I asked. "I just do, to be honest, most of the time I only smile so everyone else will. Between you and me, I'm a nervous wreck on the inside." He replied. "I think everyone is, actually." He said. "I am, that's for sure." I said.

"I know we've all said this a million times, but we will find them."Niall patted my back. "How can we find them? They could be anywhere!" I yelled. Niall looked shocked. "Sorry." I frowned. "That's okay, I understand. And, I don't know, but we will find them. When you love someone that much, you're bound to see them again." Niall said.

"I hope so, I just can't get my mind off of her." I said. Then all the boys ran in. "Hi guys." I said. "Aw Liam, you look so sad!!" Louis yelled. "Group hug!!"

All the boys hugged me and I hugged them back. It was nice, just us five, a big old group hug. I smiled a little. "Thanks, guys."

"Any time." Zayn smiled. "Your the best friends ever." And as weird as that sounds coming from me, it's true. They are the best.

Sarah's POV

"Shut up!!" Joe yelled as I coughed. He smoked so much I thought I was going to stop breathing. We were in the shed and he watched me while I organized his cigarette boxes. This is ridiculous.

"Could you maybe stop smoking while I'm in here?" I choked out the words. "Don't tell me what to do!!" He screamed. "I was just asking." I said. "Fine." He stuck the top of his cigarette on my arm. I screamed in pain from the heat.

"Calm down you baby." He growled. I finished and he let me go back to the basement. Lane walked in and smiled. "Why so happy?" I asked. "I have a job." He grinned. "Really?! What is it?!" I asked. "I went to the bait shop and got a job. It doesn't pay much, but if I keep working I can get my own place and take Georgia Rose out of that orphanage."

"Lane that's awesome!!" I hugged him. I thought I'd let you know he installed a light in here the other day, it's just a lightbulb but it's enough light to see. "Yea, I think I have a way for you guys to escape." He said. "Really? What is it?" I asked excitedly.

"Well, I would be at school. But there's this passageway I'm gonna make, like a little door down here. So you can get your friends and run off while they're sleeping. It will take a while to make the door, but there's already a hole in the wall where the vent is. That way you could escape and no one would die." He said.

"That's perfect!! Thank you!!" I smiled. "I've never seen you smile like this, it's nice to see someone smile around here." Lane said. "Yea, I guess I haven't smiled in a while." I shrugged. "I have to go, see you tomorrow." Lane smiled. "Bye."

It's only 8:30, I think. But I'm extremely tired. I laid on the floor and tried to sleep until someone screamed.

"WHAT?!?" The door slammed open and Al told me to go upstairs. I walked up to the living room and Jewels and Cory were in there. I gasped. They look, horrible. Dead, would be the word.

I teared up when I saw how miserable they look. I saw a mirror on the wall and looked at myself. I gasped again.

I look even worse.

I feel worse than I look, and I look scary. I've never been this skinny, I'm covered in blood and scars, I'm more pale than ever, and you can't see my freckles behind my bruises.

I thought Jewels and Cory would smile at me, but they looked terrified. Joe must be REALLY mad.

"Okay, where are my drugs?!" He screamed. "They're not in my room where I left them!!" We stood there, I didn't take them, why would I take drugs? "I BET IT WAS YOU!!" He punched me. I shook my head. "Look me in the eyes and tell me it wasn't you!" He yelled. I looked into his dead, bloodshot eyes. "I didn't take your drugs."

"LIES!!" He threw me against the wall. "YOU STOLE THEM I KNOW YOU DID!!" He threw my head against the wall multiple times. Jewels and Cory sobbed as they watched him beat me. "SHUT UP!!" He grabbed Jewels neck and held her up. "STOP!!" I screamed. He looked at me. "Excuse me?"

"I said, stop." I said with tears running down my face. He dropped Jewels and she started gasping for air. "DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO....." He threw his fist into my face.

"Just stop. You can't hurt us like this. It's not right. You can't steal innocent girls and make them your slaves and ruin out lives. You've hurt us so bad we could die any second!! JUST STOP PLEASE, ITS SICK AND ITS WRONG!!" I screamed at him.

Would someone please tell me where that came from.

He glared at me, it was the scariest look I've ever seen. Where's Lane? I really need him right now. "DONT YOU EVER SAY THAT TO ME. YOU ARE BEING PUNISHED!!" He grabbed me by the hair and drug me to the basement. Jewels and Cory were screaming for me. He's going to kill me.

He pushed me down the stairs. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!?!" He screamed. He grabbed my hair and pulled me off the floor. "I AM YOUR BOSS NOW, YOU SERVE ME. YOU MAY THINK YOU'LL ESCAPE ME SOMEDAY, BUT YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN. YOU WILL STAY DOWN HERE AND ROT!!!!" He full on screamed.

He grabbed rope and tied me to the beam in the middle of the room. "YOU WILL NOT EVER BE UNTIED!!" He tied my hands and legs and tied the rest of me to the pole. He kicked me and punched me and scratched me.

He took a bat and hit the lightbulb on the ceiling. It was all dark until Lane ran downstairs with a flashlight. He gasped.

"DAD, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" He yelled. "I punished her!!" He yelled back. "SHE MIGHT DIE NOW, LOOK AT HER!!" Lane looked really worried. I must be that bad looking.

Everything got blurry and I started to black out, I feel so much pain now that all I want to do is sleep. Before I blacked out I saw Lane run his hands through his hair as a tear rolled down his face.

"Dad, I think you killed her."

Liam's POV

It's 11:30 at night and no one can sleep, I feel like something horrible is happening. But lately I always think that. Me and the boys were sitting in the living room of our flat. "Try to think of anyone suspicious we talked to while looking for them." Harry said as thunder roared from outside.

"Well, what about those guys at that one house a while down the road?" Niall asked. "He was nice though." I said. "But he did look suspicious." I said again. "I don't know, it's so hard." Zayn sighed. I watched the lightning out the window. It's really raining.

"I did find something at that house though, it was in their front yard." Louis said. "I'm thinking of turning it in to lost and found or something." He said. "What is it?" Niall asked.

"It's in my pocket, let me get it." He took it out and handed me a sparkling ring. My jaw dropped."What is it, Liam?" They asked.

I could barely spit the words out of my mouth.

"That's our promise ring."









Woah, like woah.

If your confused that's Liam's and Sarah's promise ring.

If you don't remember them getting one (which you should remember) it's in an older chapter.
