Chapter 15

Scarlett's POV

I hung up quickly, my heart beating uncontrollably. He didn't mean what he said, he couldn't have. We barely even know each other. My mind was racing and I didn't know what to do.

I sighed, what was today? I can't even keep track of time anymore. I think it's Sunday? Or Monday. I sighed and got our of bed. I looked at my phone and it was nearly the time I would wake up for school.

I sigh, Monday.

My feet shuffle to the bathroom and I brush my teeth then hop into the shower. I apply shampoo to my scalp as I relax under the warm water. I was still in shock, he doesn't get to say those words.

He doesn't know how much power those words contain. But I'm most co fused on how I feel about him. I mean I know I have some feelings for him but love? I don't even know what that is. I've never been loved, I've never been in love, I've never even seen love.

There was a knock on the door and I handy realized how much time I've spent in here. "Hurry up!" Riley shouted. I looked at my fingers and they were wrinkled from the water.

I quickly but in conditioner and wait a minute before washing it out. I turned the water off and wrapped a towel around my body and walked back to my room.

"I'm done!" I called.

She quickly walked to the bathroom, "Thankgod. You take fucking forever!! I have to pee like a motherfucker." she glares at me. I cringe at her words but shrug it off.

I looked into the newly filled closet from our shopping trip and looked for something comfortable yet cute. I finally decided on black leggings and a cream short sleeved top with lace in the middle.

I put on a long gold necklace and for makeup I did a natural color for eye shadow. I did a black cat eye design on my eye and I have to admit it looked pretty good.

I brushed my hair and blow dried it quickly. Once it was dry I curled in and put in a waterfall braid on the top. I smiled at my appearance, not completely unattractive for once.

I grabbed my books and put them in my bag and headed for the kitchen. "You ready?" Riley raised an eyebrow. I nodded and let out a relaxed breath.

She looked flawless as ever in a simple black t-shirt and jean shorts and vans. I slipped on some moccasins and followed Riley to her car. She seamed slightly annoyed this morning.

"Everything okay?" I asked.

She looked at me with a frown. "No, I have the worst headache" she rubbed her temples and I reached in my purse for an aspirin, "Here" I handed the small pill to her.

She smiled before taking it down with some water. We soon drove off and I rested my head on the window. I feel so uptight all the time, I don't even know why.

As I walked into school I felt so awkward and I just felt like everyone was looking at me. I looked around and tried to take it all in. Nobody was looking at me. I breathed out in relief and walked to my locker.

"Scarlett!" as soon as I recognized that voice I was relieved. I turned around to see Kate with an angry look on her face. I ran up to her and engulfed her into a hug and she soon wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

"I missed you so much. I'm sorry, I know I havnt been talkative lately but I'm ready to tell you everything." I let out a sigh as we pulled away.

"Good because your in huge trouble." she sighed.

"What do you mean?" She hesitated.

"Your dad, he's been looking for you and he came to my house drunk and pissed. He said that you were kidnapped and that we should call if we saw you."

"W-what?" I gasped for air.

I felt like the room was caving in on me and my throat was dry. Kate looked confused yet worried at the same time.

"Scarlett? What's wrong?" she took my wrist and dragged me down the stairs. As we passed the office I saw him, of course he showed up here.

I tried to get out of Kate's grasp but she just tightened it. "Let go!" I yelled. He heard me!! I felt panic settle in and I felt dizzy. His head shot around and he quickly stomped over to us.

Kate soon looked to his direction and she soon looked at me with an even more confused look. I started to breath heavily and I stumbled to the floor.

"Scarlett!" she was next to me now but soon pulled away, his voice was ringing in my ears, "Where have you been?" he asked with a bitter sweet tone.

I couldn't answer, my eyes fluttered shut and I was taken away into darkness. I felt my body go limp into his grasp and I knew how this was going to end. He was taking me back to that hell hole and I was dead.

There's no way he'll take pity on me he's gonna hurt me and there's no telling how far he's going to take it this time.

My eyes fluttered open and I tried to fight it. I wanted to stay asleep so I wouldn't feel anything. But I couldn't. My eyes adjusted to my surroundings and I was in the basement.

I looked around and I was on a bed, the room was dark and it smelt terrible. My body was sore for some unknown reason, I tried to move my arms but I looked up and I gasped.

He tied me to the bed, I shook my head as my eyes watered. The door soon opened up and I shuttered. This couldn't be happening, not again.

This is exactly why I left. This is why I left him, now I felt like I did it all for nothing. "Ah, good your awake." he walked over till he was I front of me.

"So, where have you been?" he tilted his head to the side. I felt my eyes water again and tears silently fell down my cheeks.

I didn't have time to react when his hand slapped my cheek. I winced in pain, my head held down.

"I asked you a fucking question!" he shouted.

I didn't answer him, I couldn't. If I told him I was with Justin or Riley he would hurt them. That's exactly what I was trying to prevent from happening.

"Well, I guess I can give you a different punishment" the smirk on his face sends chills through my body.

He moves his hands to the buttons on his jeans, my eyes widen and I shake my head. "No! Please!!" I plead.

"I'll never leave again!" I cry.

He laughs as he pulled his pants down and takes his shirt off. I feel so disgusted as his body stands above mine. "Too late" he whispered.

I squirm and kick my legs as he takes the hem of my shirt into his finger tips. I scream as loud as I can but my voice cracks.

He slaps me again, with full power. I cry in pain as he glares at me. "Shut up!" he yells. I sit silently and try not to feel anything as he takes my short off.

He swiftly took my pants off in one swift movement and I'm now half naked in front of my own father. I want to throw up at the thought of how sickening this is. Of how sickening he is.

"Your gonna learn that there's consequences to your actions" he says in a harsh tone.

I shut my eyes and just try to not feel anything as his hands roam around my body. I knew nobody could would find me here. So I was trapped.
