My legs hurt so much. They're so sore. I can't take this much longer. I really can't.

"Justin, we need to get out of here. It's been almost 2 weeks. I can't take it." I tell him while Aviella's in the playroom.

He places his hands on my thighs and starts massaging them. I moan, not in pleasure, but in pain.

"Sorry." He says.

"It's fine." I wince as he moves his hands from my thighs to my hips.

"Do you want me to stop?" He asks, looking up at me.

I shake my head.

"Yes you do." He says.

He pulls his hands away before I can object and kisses my cheek.

"I'm sorry." He whispers in my ear.

"You should get some rest. Maybe you'll feel a little better." I lay my head on his chest and he strokes my hair until I fall asleep.

2 Hours Later

I wake up to Aviella's giggling and smile. It seems like I haven't smiled in forever. But she's just so cute.

"Look who's awake." Justin says.

"Anna!" Aviella says.

She runs and sits in my lap.

"God!" I groan.

"Avi, come here!" Justin says.

He pulls Aviella out of my lap and places her on the ground next to me.

"He should be coming with the stuff soon." Justin says.

The man, who's name is apparently Jack, bring us 2 diapers, a bottle full of milk, and 2 bottles of water every day. Then he takes the trash bag from the trashcan and replaces it, and leaves.

I just hope he doesn't take me back with him this time. If he does, I swear I'll have an asthma attack and die on the spot.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, the doorknob jingles and the door opens.

Jack walks in, places the stuff on the floor, takes the bag from the trash, puts a new one in, and leaves.

Aviella runs to the bottle and starts drinking it. She hasn't taken a nap today. She'll be asleep soon. Justin tosses me a bottle of water and I catch it. I drink half before putting the water down.

Aviella holds the bottle in her mouth and lays in Justin's lap. He grabs his jacket from the floor and covers her with it. Within 5 minutes, the bottle is empty and Aviella is asleep.

"I meant to ask you earlier, but why are you only wearing one earring?" Justin says.

"What do you mean?"

"Your left ear doesn't have an earring." I lightly touch my left earlobe, but there's no point because I know he wouldn't lie to me.

It's gone.

"Oh my God. I swear if I lost something else I'm gonna kill him myself."

"Let me guess. The princess lost her diamond earring."

"I hate you." I mumble.

"No you don't. I'm your protecter. You can't hate me." He says.

"Maybe that's true, but I still hate you."

"What don't you understand about 'you can't hate me'? I'm not letting him break you, because if he does, I will slice his neck open and feed his throat to him. While he's dead."

"That doesn't make any sense." I giggle.

I miss laughing. I miss everything. I miss my life.

"That just shows how mad I'll be." Justin says.

He wraps an arm around me, keeping the other arm around Aviella, and I lay my head on his shoulder.

"When we get out of here, I wanna take you out somewhere. Is that okay?" He asks.

"Yeah. It's fine." I smile on the outside but on the inside, I'm screaming.

My first date. I think...
