Calla P.O.V.

It's been days since I've been let out of the basement. I'm starting to think that HE forgot all about me. Deprived of food and water, the only thing I can do is try to sleep. And that's what I did.

***

The day I was let out of the basement was the day before my Aunt was supposed to here. How I know this? Well the answer to that is because that fateful mourning, HE unlocked the door. I could here every clink for each of the locks. By then I was at the bottom of the stairs. The door swings open and there he stands. His bulky form covering the light that threatens to push through.

"That Bitch will be here tomorrow! You little Skank need to have this Fucking house spotless before then! You understand me?" HIS booming voice echoes in the empty basement. I give a quick nod while he stumbles back to where he came from.

Once I hear the front door slam, I scramble up the stairs as fast as my starved body can take me. The first thing I do is head to the kitchen and chug four glasses of water. Feeling somewhat refreshed, I take an apple from the somewhat empty fridge and head over to the calendar. Since my aunt will be here tomorrow, It shows that I was locked in that hell hole for about four days or so. Throwing away the apple core I make my way upstairs to my room. My stomach still growls for food but I ignore it.

Ripping off my soiled clothes, I jump into the shower. Relief floods me when I scrub off the dried blood and piss. Yes I pissed my pants. I was fucking locked in a dark room for four days, where am I supposed to take a piss. I spend about an hour in the shower. Man it felt good. Drying myself off, I pull on a pair of leggings and a oversized sweatshirt. I look over at my bag on my bed. Whelp, I have one hell of a week to make up. Fuck! Sean must be so worried!.

I dig around for my phone but it's dead. I hurry up and plug it in. While I wait for it to load, I make a list of all the things I need to buy before she shows up. Stuffing the list into my side pocket of my purse, i run back to my phone to see about twenty missed calls and twenty-three messages.

Some from Sean and some from my aunt Nali. I listen to the voice mails from my aunt first. They all state the same type of things. She can't wait to be here, bla bla bla. Then I listen to Sean's. All of them are of him asking me if I'm okay and if he needs to come over. I'm kind of glad he doesn't know where I live because I'm afraid of what HIM would do. But then I'm disappointed I didn't tell him so he could come and help me.

I groan to myself at how my heart flutters at the sound of Sean saving me. I put my phone back down and head downstairs. Now really looking at it I can see why I need to clean it. Beer bottles, cigerette buds, and trash litter the floor. God! It even smells bad. I make my way to the front door. Right before I opened the door I saw an envelope on the side table. Lifting it up I open it. Inside where a bunch of twenties. Smiling to myself I shove all of the cash into my purse.

Closing the door behind me, I skip my way to the grocery store. I know what you're thinking, Why should I be skipping when I was just locked in a basement for four days. Well to answer that question is that Nali will be here tomorrow! Who wouldn't be excited for that. Reaching the store, I step inside and prepare for the longest night of my life.

Sean's P.O.V.

Today is Tuesday and I haven't seen Calla all day. At first I just thought maybe she was sick but when I tried to call her or text her she didn't pick up. That is unlike her. I grab my stuff and say bye to my other two friends Caleb and Blake. They are the only two people I trust besides Calla. I miss Calla. Even though we saw each other yesterday. I know what's happening with her but then again I don't know that much. I wish she would trust me enough to tell me why she sometimes comes to school with bruises. It kills me inside to see her so hurt.
