The Box for Me

Chapter 7

Lilly's POV

"Isn't it a lovely day, my sweet?" Joey smiles to me, I glare back.

"No."

"Aw, is someone mad at me?" He coos, I look away from him.  "Look, Baby, you know business is hard, and your sister? She's a gold mine, a beauty!"

"You're an ass." I growl.

"I know, but you still love me!"

"As if," I scoff, he runs up to me and forcefully cups my chin and cheeks so that I look like a fish, it hurts really bad. Ever since July has came, feelings were part of me.

"Say. You. Love. Me." I cringed at his harshness.

I cross my finger behind me "I. Love. You." He smiles, pleased.

"Your sister is being sold in a week, okay? I will allow you to spend time with her, if you ask, but not right now." I nod, tears threatening to leak. I blink them back.

Why couldn't I be a normal girl?

Joey left to go handle a girl that was not behaving, 'properly' I sit back, wishing there was a way to solve this. Then my brains starts to spark with ideas. I smiled grimly to my self and run to the book shelf.

I search the rows for a phone book, yes they're old, but they work. I smile even bigger when I find the yellow back to the book and pull it out. It states 'Ohio Phone's and addresses' I turn the book to the 'D' and search for my old friend.

Dan Willows

I laugh out loud and do a mini dance to myself. If anyone saw me they would think I am insane, but its okay because I am insane!

I grab the phone on the nightstand and start to dial the number, I gulp as it rings slowly. Doubts fill me with every ring, what if he doesn't have a phone? What if this is an old book? What if he doesn't answer and I get busted? I gulp when I finally hear a breath on the other end of the receiver, I smile.

"Hello?" states an older sounding friend.

"Dan! Oh my god, you answered!" I start to cry happy tears of relief.

"Who is this?" He asks.

"I-its me, Lilly Manderson."

"Lilly?!, Oh gosh! Where are you! You did not go to college! You ignored every call of mine! You never answered and after that guy I overheard him talking to you and-"

"Dan. I need you to do me a favor."

"What?! You expect me to do something for you, tell me why! why did you ignore me!"

"Dan! This is serious, the people who took me, they have July! she's going to become a slave!" Tears ran over my eye lids like a river now.

"Anything."

July's POV

I learned a lot of things. Being lonely, sucks for one thing but being in a tiny room with nothing but a ticking clock is even worse. I was becoming mad! I huddled in the corner, hugging my knees to my chest and crying with my head in my lap. Nothing was in here, nothing but a toilet and a bench, which was not comfortable!

I started to hyperventilate and breath deeply, I had frequent panic attacks and I know how to solve them. 1...2...3... I counted in my head. I was becoming so bored I was dying! My god, people! You cant lock me up in here forever!

I finally lose it and start to charge for the door. I slam my body against and cry out in pain, holding my shoulder I step back to observe my damage. Nothing. I groan and try again and again and again until I am pretty sure that my arm is now unable to be moved or touched. I cry out and slide down the wall, starting to cry again, why is nothing good in this world?!

I somehow start to doze off and fall asleep, my dreams are full of misery and dread. What am I going to do? Dying right now, seemed okay.

Trevor's POV

Have I ever forgotten to mention, that I have no idea where a police station is. I was never aloud out of the house!

I groan in frustration when I see the same tree with a knot hole in it and just fall to my knees, I cant give up though! I need to do this for mom and July. July....

Heaven knows what happened to her, and I wish not to think of it because... I kind of... like her. She's brave and strong, caring and loving. Lilly was like a mother to me, she took good care of me and tried her best to protect me as much as she could. I would catch a grenade for her.

But July, she was the one, i'm sure of it!  I get the motivation to get back up and march on, I will save them both! Both of them! I'm 13 but I can do it! Screw my 'dad'!
