Let Me Put You In The Picture: Version 1

Chapter 177

            I breathed in through my nose and the smell of salt woke me right up. The sounds of waves crashing and sea birds chirping filled my ears as full as they could get.

But the little things they make me so happy

All I want to do is live by the sea

I bent my knee and pulled my leg up, realizing the chain was no longer there.

But the little things they make me so happy

My ankle had a bright red indentation all they way around it, showing me it had been there. That I wasn't dreaming.

But it's good it's good it's to be free

I sat up slowly feeling pain burning all the way up and down my sides. Were my ribs broken?

Then I realized I wasn't wearing any pants. I was down to my bra, cami, and underwear. And they were all dirty and bloody.

My eyes hurt too. And my face. What the fuck was going on?

"Good morning." He said making me gasp and turn my head.

He stood there smiling with one of the biggest shit-eating grins I'd ever seen.

"Wh-"

"Did I say you could speak?" He cut me off. "Nah. I don't think I did. Oi! Ray!"

Just then, one of those guys. One of those big fucking guys. Stepped forward.

"Show her what happens when she don't listen."

He raised up the bat and swung.

"Blue. Blue!"

I gasped as my eyes shot open. "What's wrong?"

"Scoot over, yeah? Give us some room."

I blinked in confusion. "Why don't you just go back over there?"

"Why?" He asked. "Are you fuckin' serious?!"

I nodded. "Yeah."

"'Cuz they won't fuckin' let me! They're workin' together, right? To fuckin' crowd me out."

I rolled my eyes. "Liam-"

"I've nearly fallen out the bed three times already 'cuz they fuckin' pushed me!" He said as he scratched his chest. "Let us sleep by you, yeah? You'll protect me."

I looked over at the boys and Tommy. All three of them were still sound asleep with their toys and books all strewn about on top of the duvet. They had definitely made themselves comfortable and had spread out as far as they could.

But it still looked like they left their uncle enough room.

"Please don't send me back over there." Liam pleaded.

I rolled my eyes. "Go back over there." I said with my finger pointed.

"But it's too fuckin' far away! And it's fuckin' burnin'!"

I stared at him curiously as he began scratching his chest again.

"Just let us cuddle with you, yeah?" He continued. "I fuckin' need to! I can't sleep when you're so fuckin' far away-" He tutted as he walked back over to his side of the bed.

He was about to crawl in when I heard him gasp. He bent down and peeked under the bed before finally getting back into it.

He groaned and hissed as he tried to get comfortable. He finally stopped fidgeting and sighed. He stayed still for about a minute before getting back out of the bed and going into the bathroom.
