Saved by the Bad Boy

Chapter 21

The next few days are strange, Einar and I don't talk and they don't let us out of the room. We get food through the small slit in the door. I force myself to eat and force down the food for the baby. Einar hasn't spoken a word and for most of the day I stare at the wall. It sounds boring but there's nothing else to do. I most think up escape plans, but they would never work, not with Einar here. I'm still not sure what the heck happened or why he ran. The questions plague my mind with every second of the day and night, I almost never sleep. Einar, I don't know what hoes through his mind but sometimes I'll catch him staring at me, like now, two weeks after they've caught me again. And I'm in my 3rd trimester now, just starting. I glare at him and I finally can't take it.

"What? Why are you constantly staring at me? It's not like staring will make me love you again. You ruined that chance when you decided to hook up with your ex-girlfriend. And now your realizing that I'm a lot more dangerous than I look and want me back? Well it's not going to work, I'm stupid to fall for you again." He shakes his head.

"You font understand. I never want to hurt you, I never stopped loving you, she was never my girlfriend and she forced herself on me. I pushed her away, but I guess you missed that part." I stand up from off the bed.

"You're a lier. I can nver believe you, you always lied. You guys were talking and laughing together before you started to kiss. And you never seemed in a rush to leave. You were working with him the whole time." I say glaring at him. He looks at me, him eyes watering.

"No, I laughed at her stupidity, I never said anything against you or agreeing with her. And I never worked against him. He caught me because he caught you. I couldn't let him hurt you."

"The pain he gave to me was nothing compared to the pain you gave me." I snarl and push him backwards. My hands shake as I try to keep the ice in but my anger only makes it grow faster. Ice marks the place on his shirt where I pushed him. I clench me fists and ice grows over my skin I try to push away but I can't help it and it covers me entirely and grows on the floor. In a few seconds sliders flood into the room along with leader and without warning the pain hits me. It rings through my brain, and feels like my muscles are burning. I collapse on the floor and a scream escapes me lips. The pain makes me feel like I'm exploding and when it stops I find that they've all left and I whimper at the after effects of it. I feel strong arms pick me up and I'm pulled into someone's lap. I open my eyes to see Einar's face, but with it so many hurting memories come with it; crying in my car while feeling alone and helpless, wanting to die, wishing that I was never born, the rage and anger, killing. It all comes with his brown eyes come blood, depression and pain. I turn away and crawl away from him turning my back to him. I bite my lip, the tears coming. My fear is coming true, when the ager and rage fades there won't be anything, I'll be a hallow shell, empty of feelings. I gulp, trying to call on my anger, but it's already fading. I lay my head on my arms and try not to think.

It's been a few days and Einar keeps trying to talk to me but I ignore him. I'm pulled out of my thoughts by yelling in the hallway, and I get up and walk over to the door. I open the slit and see two men on the hall yelling at a girl with red hair that goes to her waist. She is short but looks fierce.

"I'm going in here weather you like it or not." One of them grabs her arm, and throws a penching, hitting him right it the nose and kicks his legs out from underneath him. He looks knocked out and the other backs away. She flips her hair over her shoulder and I back up as she opens the door with a key that I'm guessing she stole. The door opens and I make a noise between a laugh and cry and we embrace tightly. She pulls away and looks at me ferociously.

"Are you okay? I'm so sorry. I wish you didn't have to be here." I sigh and shrug.

"I won't be here for long. They can't always keep me on a leash." I give her a grin and she smiles. Her eyes go behind me to her cousin. She pushes me aside and walks to him, hands on her hips. He glares at her.

"What are you doing here?" She smacks him.

"Excuse me, what the heck were you thinking? You had such a good relationship and then you had to go and throw it away and you don't have the decency to take care of your wife and child like a real man would. Now you hurt her." He looks down.

"I know." He mumbles, turning to go into the bathroom. She shakes her head.

"What has he said to you?"

"That he doesn't want to hurt me, that he never stopped loving me, that he pushed the girl away. All that sentimental crap." She sighs.

"What he said about pushing the girl away, that was true. I was there, I saw him push her away and tell her that he loves his wife more than anything and not to mess with her right after you ran away. I saw it Cali, you have to believe at least that. And when you guys were together, he was so happy, happier then I ever saw him, he left right after you, determined to find you."

"That still doesn't change the pain he gave me. The pain I felt. It doesn't change what I did because of him."

"Just give him a chance, and maybe...try to pay attention to him. Like what does he do all day long while you're in another world?" She says and leaves. I stand open mouthed. I bite my lip and my eyes are drawn to the bathroom door. I open my senses to everything around me instead of blocking everything out. I walk to the door and put my ear to it. I hear sobs coming from the running water and I bite my lip. I was so caught up in myself that I never even let him explain his side to me. Tears burn my eyes again, I'm the true monster here.
