Tortured Soul

Chapter 13

(Jacob's POV)

Max finished the paperwork and we started making our way to the airport. I fell asleep the entire way to the airport and the entire fly back to Washington. Who could blame me, I've been forced to stay awake for who know how long with that psycho Josh.

We finally arrived home and I went to my room to go to sleep. Once I opened my door a whole bunch of memories flooded back at once. I smiled at most of them until I remembered breaking my toe, which I don't remember breaking at all.

I took off my shoe and started feeling my big toe. Nothing felt wrong or broken at all. So why is it okay or why did I get that memory? Trying to shrug off the memory I changed into pajamas and got into my bed.

I laid in the cold floor completely naked. Chained to the wall unable to do anything besides cower in fear. I stared at the back of the man in front of me.

"Why are you doing this to me? Why Max?!"

He stood in silence.

"Tell me! Please! Why won't you help me! Rescue me! I can't take it anymore!" I said crying.

Max turned around and he had no face.

I jolted awake breathing heavily and sweating a little. I tried taking deep and slow breaths but it didn't help. I didn't know how to calm down and I didn't want to go back to sleep. I grabbed a pair of jeans a long sleeve shirt and a hoodie. Once I changed into those I put my shoes on. I grabbed my phone and wrote a message to have automatically sent to Max at 6:30 in the morning.

I walked out of the house, the cold air instantly making me want back inside. I closed and locked the front door. I started to walk down the street. I had no idea where I was going but I'll figure it out when I get there.

Walking alone is enlightening, for what I've gone through it really helps to just relax and mend myself. I kept walking and I looked around to figure out where I was, to my left was a park and to the right was a neighborhood. I kept on trecking forward still unsure of where I was going.

I kept on thinking of the good times, every fun thing that has happened ever since I was adopted. Meeting Adam for the first time, going from fanboy to really close friend. Things have changed so much since the adoption. I looked around once more and saw the street Adam lives on. I turned and made my way to his house.

I grabbed my phone and texted him.

J: hey I know it's super early but I'm out front can you let me in?

A: sure be there in a sec.

J: thanks.

I put my phone back in my pocket and waited outside Adam's house. The door opened revealing a half asleep Adam. He gestured to come in and I walked inside. He closed the front door and locked it.

"Why are you up so early? It's not even two." Adam asked

"I just needed to take a walk by myself to relax."

"Still thinking about the way you treated us at the hospital?" Adam asked.

"No it's just what happened to me before I got the the hospital. I... I can't forget it no matter how hard I try and I know it's affecting me mentally."

"It's alright Jacob. Coming from someone who has been dealing with some really emotional stuff lately I can say that you aren't alone. I've been dealing with my problem for a long time and I've yet recently told people about it not that long ago." Adam explained.

"I just need help getting through this." I said letting tears fall down my face.

Adam came up and hugged me. I cried into his chest.

"Did you want to stay here for the rest of the night?" Adam asked. I nodded. Adam let go of me then started walking back to his room and I followed. He crawled back into his bed and I got in with him. His bed is huge so we were on complete opposite sides of the bed. I let my weariness and fatigue wash away as I let my eyelids close allowing sleep to take me for the night.

*Okay so I'm going to be the worst person ever right now. I'm going to do a vote for which ending I'll use for this. BUT the trick is that you all won't know which option is which ending, only I will. I have 2 ending but I'll have 4 options.

A)
B)
C)
D)

I want you all to choose ONE and ONLY ONE. I'll tally up the votes when the final chapter is nearing then I'll write the ending that got the most votes. If you guys want, I can do an alternate ending after the real ending so you all know what you missed out on. So vote for an option and remember your vote can make a difference in this and anything. Till next time, byeeee!*
