Saved by the Bad Boy

Chapter 22

The more I listen the more horrible I feel, the more I feel a sinking feeling. Once again I feel unwanted, but this time, I feel like I'm the hating him along with everyone else. I hear him try to muffle his sob but it only makes it louder. I know how he feels, like there's no point, I wish I could do something. But then again, I'm not sure of anything anymore. I don't know if he loves me anymore, I'm not sure if he'll forgive me. I step back as the door opens and he comes out in only a towel around his waist he looks surprised and I can't help but examine his muscles over his chest. He gives me a questioning look and I turn away. My cheeks burn with embarrassment, even though we were close before. But now, I don't know what's going to happen between us. I spent nights crying over him, I don't know if I can deal with the pain of love again. And I don't want to, I don't want him to forgive me, it's almost easier. I don't want us to end up how we were, and I'd always have a fear of him leaving me again. I couldn't. I walk to the bed and sit down, facing the wall. I reach out a hand and trace the cracks in it. I have been chipping away parts of the wall when I'm board, which is quite often. I wonder what we'll do when we get out, will he stop me? Will he go with me? Will we get a divorce? Will he make sure I'm safe? Is he thinking up plans as well as I am to get out? I wonder of I can use my powers to break the collar. Anything is breakable under extreme cold, but to break a metal like this, it would kill anyone in the same building. And I don't want to kill anyone, I'm tired, I'm tired of killing, of being trapped her, I'm tired of the tears. I gasp as I'm suddenly thrown off the bed as something rattles the whole compound. I land on my back pain spreading through it, and it doesn't help with my already frequent back pains from the baby. Einar immediately runs over and grabs my arms pulling me up. I steady myself and I freeze realizing how close we are. Our lips are an inch apart and I gulp when his eyes glance down at my lips. I quickly pull away and take a deep breath. I lean against the wall sensing this time before another rattle goes through the building. Maybe it's an earthquake? My and Einar's eyes lock and both of us show fear for whatever is happening outside. The door flings open and soldiers come in and soon after them is leader.

"Come on, they're attacking." We follow him with soldiers close behind.

"Who's attacking?" He glares at me for speaking but answers anyways.

"The government. The new president wants to end us." He growls, "And they want you." My mouth falls open, "They want to eliminate you, think you're too dangerous." My lip quivers. Wow, so nobody seems to want me alive. I gulp and feel Einar take a step closer, protective. I don't know why, I've never been anything but pain to him, he still seems protective over me. I don't want him to, we can't be together. I take a few steps away from him and continue to follow leader through the building and down about 5 flights of stairs. I have to take breaks putting a hand on my belly. A few times I almost throw up, but I push it back down. We keep going until we're well underground. I gasp when a door in front of us opens to reveal a train, and a very fast one at that. He pushes us on and is well to remind me of my collar by sending me little jolts of it when he feels I'm looking around too much. So I keep quiet look at the floor. After a while, my eyelids start to grow heavy and I fight  to stay awake, but in the end sleep wins over after weeks of barely any sleep. When I wake up Anne is shaking me. I sit up realizing that I feel asleep and look around to discover that I'm in yet another bedroom. This time I'm sleeping on a full sized bed, the walls are gray and cracked everywhere, there's a bathroom with no door-really? Why does this always happen to me?-and there are cardboard stuff with a few clothing items. The door is metal and with one huge lock on the outside. My head pounds and I lay back down, groaning in pain. She looks concerned.

"What happened?" She shrugs.

"You feel asleep...on Einar's shoulder, then when we stopped instead of waking you up...he carried you bridal style all the way up here." She says laughing. I notice behind her is a boy with hazel eyes and blonde hair, he stands awkwardly with his hands in his Jean pockets.

"Anne, who is this?" She giggles and takes his hand.

"This is my...boyfriend, Jacob." She says, a huge grin on her face. He smiles and she looks at him. But he's looking right at me, curiosity filling his eyes. I know he's probably wondering about my powers.

"I would show you my powers but leader kind of made a threat if I used them." I say and he snaps out of it blushing.

"Sorry, I-I've just never m-met someone with p-powers." He stutters. I smile at his nervousness, enjoying that he's afraid.

"It's alright, you're friends with Anne, I won't hurt you." He smiles at her.

"Yea, when I-I heard y-you story I a-agreed with Anne a-about not letting you have y-your freewill." He says, Anne nodding with him.

"Yea, he's on our side...so where did you go?" I smile and tell her the whole story. Jacob seemed very interested and was leaning forward, anxious to hear more. When I told them of Connie and Morgan my heart ached because of how much I missed them over the last week. I wish they were hear so I could laugh with them, no, I would hate if they had to be dragged to this hell with me. Just another thing to blame myself for, I hope they're safe and that they haven't found them out yet. I hope that when I get out of here I can see them again. I really hope I can see them.

"Aw, Morgan's kids sound so cute. I hope I can met them someday." I smile.

"You will. But anyways how was it while I was gone." She sighs.

"Horrible, leader had everyone drive to capture you and we were just a few minutes behind the first wave of vans to get you and then the coms went dead and we were stuck behind about a thousand cars. But Einar jumped out and ran like heck. I went after him and he was sobbing on the street. He was devistated that you left. I told him to leave, to go find you and win you back. I was going to go with him but this guy," She says giving him a squeeze, "Called my com telling me that I can't leave, that I would be better here and that I can't leave him." She gives him a girly grin and he kisses her nose, stunning her. I smile at their cuteness. At that moment Einar comes back to the room with a few soldiers behind him. Anne and Jacob have now starting kissing, not remembering I'm here.

"Alright you two, out before you start ripping each other's clothes off." He says with a smirk, making them pull away, both red as tomatoes. They leave and I here the door lock with a din.

"They're so cute, I don't judge them. I remember when we were like that..." I say staring off into space. Einar give me a look and I turn bright red, realizing I accidentally spoke my thoughts. He motions for me to turn around so he can change so I do so. I wonder why he was gone, he is usually let out. I take my chances and look over my shoulder. Luckily his back is turned to me, and I can't pull my eyes away. I watch as he gently pulls his coat off and I gasp loudly; his shirt has huge rips in them, his blue shirt is stained in red on the back, and there are huge gashes that can only be described as whipping wounds.
