Chapter 13

Cory POV

**********

I awoke tied to a chair.

"Where am I?" I asked.

"Shut up! You don't deserve to know after what you did to me!" a voice yelled out of the darkness.

"What do you mean? Who are you?" I said.

"You know damn well who I am!" It said.

"I have no idea who you are! I can't see you! Your voice sounds oddly familiar though. What do you want out of me?" I said panicking at this point.

"Revenge!" the voice screamed.

"Revenge on what?! How in the hell did I hurt you?!" I yelled.

"You took my wife! She should be mine right now! She would be, but you got in the way!" The voice said.

I was beginning to figure out who it was and boy was I pissed. I leaned back in my chair and felt a sharp pain in my back. He pulled the skin off of the back and it was bleeding pretty bad. It all was coming back to me now. I blacked out and suddenly remembered what happened right before everything went blank.

"That was amazing." Kait said as I rolled off of her.

"Glad I could please you." I said, laughing.

"Oh shit. There's someone in the window." She whispered.

"I doubt there's anyone in the window." I said.

Suddenly we heard the front door being kicked open and a person running up the stairs. Dave barged into our bedroom before we knew what was happening.

"She's my wife! I should beat the piss out of you for sleeping with her!" he screamed.

"You left her! You had your chance to keep her! I hate to break it to you, but you lost buddy! She has every right to move on and love who she wants! I was there for her when she found out you cheated! I was there for her during the entire divorce! Where were you?" I yelled.

He lifted me up by the skin on my back and drug me into a white ford van. He threw me into the back of the van and ordered someone to drive. He took out a bottle and a cloth. He began soaking the cloth in the liquid and forced the cloth onto my nose and mouth before I quickly fell asleep.

"I know who you are." I said when I woke up.

"I swear to god, I will kill you. You don't deserve her. You never have." He said.

I heard him walk up to me. I quickly tensed up to brace myself for whatever he was going to do to me. He forced what seemed to be a hot branding iron onto my chest. I screamed out in pain. The more I screamed, the harder he pressed. When I finally got the strength together to shut up, he took it off of me.

"I'll make sure you stay away from her like you should! Just get out of her life and let us be together again!" he yelled into my face.

"She'll never take you back. That I'm sure of. Not after how you treated her." I said.

He took out what appeared to be a knife and slashed my thighs.

"I'll make sure she takes me back! She'll be so depressed from losing you that she won't have any choice but to take me back!" he screamed.

"I know Kait. Even if you were the last man on earth, she'd still never take you back." I said.

This time he began brutally beating me. I could do nothing to defend myself and he know that because he'd tied me to a chair. He beat me everywhere I had room to be beaten. I began to slip I and out of consciousness. At my last leg of consciousness, I heard the door kicked open and barely had enough strength left to look over at who was there.
