Please Stay... (A Pen Fanfic)

Part 15: Happiness???

Pat's POV

I watch in horror as my own mother chokes Jen. "Marry Frannie or she dies!!" I hear her scream. The wedding ceremony quickly wraps up, and I look over at Jen. Mom has stopped choking her, but her eyes don't open. She appears lifeless. Please don't let her be dead, please don't let her be dead, I pray. Then, a man walks over to her. Is it her dad? Uh-oh. I start panicking. I see him pull out a phone, I think he's calling 999. That's good. I hate my life. The one time I am actually happy, something bad happens. Mom always ruins everything. I hate her!! Why can't me and Jen just be together? Why!?!? All of a sudden, I'm snapped back to reality. Soon after, an ambulance appears. I see two paramedics come out, and they talk to the man. He smiles, and gets in the back with Jen on a stretcher. He seems so worried. I wonder who he is?? It can't be her dad, he seems too worried. Her father is awful, he killed her own mother. I watch as the ambulance speeds off into the distance.

Jen's POV

I wake up, and look around. Then, I realize I'm in a hospital. What happened!? "Ugh..." I reach up and touch my neck, and feel something. I look down. A neck brace? I look around again, and see dad.

"Dad...?" I ask, "what happened...?"

"Well sweetie..." He starts, "um... Someone tried to choke you, and... It just escalated from there." I cough.

"Where... Where's Pat?" I ask. "He... He's moving to California," dad tells me, "that's where him and Frannie are honeymooning, as far as I know. We're moving as well. I know you'll miss you're friends, but you can keep in touch. Besides, you and Pat are perfect for each other." I smile. We are perfect.

"So..." I start, "when are we going?" "As soon as you get out. Don't worry, we're taking a plane that accepts pets, so Cloud will be coming with us." I smile again. My new dad is so nice. He actually cares about me, unlike my old one. I wonder where he is. I hope we don't run into him anytime soon.

*Le TimeSkippy A La California*

I hear a voice over the speaker.

"We are now entering California!"

I hope Cloud is ok. He had to be in a cage in a separate area of the plane, with people watching over him.

"We are now landing!"

I keep chewing my gum. Dad told me that it prevents my ears from popping. He was right. This was my first time on a plane, so I've been pretty scared. Bob never let me do anything on my own.

"Alright, everyone, please exit the plane!"

We get off, and I see a slightly familiar face. The man runs up to me, and I see his face more clearly. It's.... It's.... I black out.

*Le Otra TimeSkippy*

I wake up, in a dark, cold room. I can't see anything. Where's dad? I look around, straining my eyes to see. I try to move, but am bound by ropes. Then, I hear a door creak open. Light pours through the crack. I hear a voice.

"Long time no see." I blink, my eyes adjusting to the bright light. The voice sounds familiar.

"How long have I been out?" I ask.

"Oh," it replies, "only a few days. I've missed you so much, I'm so glad you're back after what happened." Then it hits me. It's dad. My real dad.

"Where am I!?" I scream, my voice hoarse. "Let me out!!"

"You see..." He starts, "no. You're my prisoner now. You ran away, and now you're going to pay." He smiles creepily, and brings a knife to my wrists. I can't do anything. It hurts, reminds me of when I used to cut. When my arms would endlessly bleed, and hurt, and scar. My wrists sting as they bleed. I grimace.

"I'm glad you're enjoying the pain," he says, "this is your punishment. You left me, and oh I was in so much pain without my son and daughter. Now, I'm giving you the same pain." Another creepy smile runs across his face. He creates one last cut, a deep one in my arm, before leaving. Tears stream down my face. "Bye..." He says, "love you." He closes the door, and locks it, leaving me alone, bleeding, and crying in the dark room.

*Another TimeSkip, Days Later*

I wake up again, waiting for him to beat me up again. I can't take it anymore. I should have just killed myself when I had the chance. Why didn't I? I hear noise coming from outside.

"I'm going to the bathroom." It's a girls voice. Then, I hear the doorknob jingle. Now's my chance.

"I'm in here!!" I scream, my throat sore and my voice hoarse. "Please help me, get me out!! Please!! Open the door!!" The door unlocks, then opens. There's a woman standing there, wearing a white dress and heels. I see more people. Is this a party? I immediately start crying again.

"Please don't let him find me," I whisper, please." She escorts me out of his house as fast as she can. Somewhere along the way, we pick up a guy. I don't know who he is, but he's wearing a tux.

"Get in the back," she whispers to me, and I enter the back of her car, my wrists scarred and hurting badly. "I'll take you to our house," she says, and I assume the guy is her boyfriend. "This is my fiance Matthias," she says, pointing to the man we picked up. "And I'm Amanda." She smiles.

"I'm Jen," I croak, my voice hoarse and my throat dry. We drive away, and I look behind me and see him, my real dad, standing outside. He appears to be yelling and swearing.

"Get back here Jen!!" I hear him scream, "I'll break you!! You need to die!! You must feel the pain!!" The rest of the ride is silent, except for the occasional comment from Matthias...
