My Escape is Far Away

Chapter 39: this is my story.

Gi's POV

"Hi, I'm Gi. and this is my story. My story isn't the sweetest, and it isn't the easiest thing to tell. my family doesn't even know the story. When I was ten, I was kidnapped. I didn't talk and I barely ate. the sock part was the fact that i was kidnapped by my own family. My very own aunt and uncle over in the states. liam and my parents would go over their house every year for the holidays, not knowing I was feet away, locked in the basement. The dark, dreary basement where there was no color but black, white, and gray. that was my life for about 8 years. now let's skip to more recent times. when I escaped the torture chamber as what I like to call it, I arrived at home thanks to the lovely police department who helped me get back home. when I arrived home, I was a bit confused," I laughed, "I flew back to Wolverhampton in a private jet, and at the time, I didn't know that my brother was a multi-millionare, let alone loved by millions across the country with number one hits internationally because he is in a world famous boyband. when I arrived home, my own brother did not even recognize me. He didn't really remember me until I told him about him never forgetting his baby sister. that hits the heart when your own brother doesn't even recognize you because you were gone for so long. Lets skip all the sappy love stuff, that is not where I am going with this if that is what you are thinki-" I was cut off but someone screaming, "tell us the real story. what happened to you when you were kidnapped? were you rapped? abused? tortured? starved?" a million reporters began asking me, throwing microphones on my face. Overwhelmed by the sudden array of questions, I slowly backed up and looked over towards the lads. I was sure that the lads would know what to do, but then we all got worried when some of the reporters had the nerve to come onto the stage. that is when Paul stepped in, and Liam, Louis and the lads ran up to get me put of the situation. I didn't let them, though. I told them to go back to their seats. "I can't run away from the past. they want to know, I will tell them. it isn't good to show all the teens and people watching this, looking at me for help and to show that it is okay to speak up. I have to." I told them, "but it is obvious that I am not going to answer these questions right now. I came to tell my story the way I want to. the reporters Can leave. it isn't all about them." I said as I walked back up to the podium.

"okay, where was I..." I said as I gathered my thoughts. "I told you part of my story, but no way am I saying as of right now what happened. The time isn't right right now. This isn't the place to say either you know?" I said as I gulped and tears formed into my eyes thinking about what happened. "I can't promise you that the dark clouds will never be over you some days, or that your future will be perfectly perfect. I can't promise you that tomorrow life will be easy. I can promise you that it am not be today, or tomorrow, or even in a year from now, but eventually things will turn for the better, you and your life will get better and you will say with relief, that you made it." I said as I ended the speech and walked off the stage podium thing back to the boys.

We walked outside to get mobbed by paparazzi. Louis was pissed off so he picked me up bridal style seeing that I was crying from the millions of questions being thrown at me as I buried my face into his chest. On our way back to the van, Harry, Zayn, Liam, and Niall all walked their girlfriends out of the building towards the van safety as the girls looked at me with a sad look on their face...

-at home-

I was in the living room with the girls while the boys were outside in the backyard. When I heard a crash.

"oh god," I said as I got up off the couch, "what did he break now..."

I walked outside with the girls close behind, I saw a sign above each of the lady's heads that said

Harrys said- "WILL"

Liam's said- "YOU"

Zayn's said- "MARRY"

Niall's said- "ME?"

And then Paul had an arrow on his facing towards Louis with a smiley face...
