Growing Up Together(EDITING*)

Chapter 30; Torture

[ T O N Y ]

Chris brought me Sherry and kicked her in the house. It looked as if she had just woken up from the chlorine. "You got her in time ? Or you had to run up on the plane ?" I laughed at Chris and he shook his head, sitting on the couch across from me. "Nigga you know I got there on time, and even if I didn't, she wouldn't be leaving on that plane dawg. You know I got you nigga." I nodded to him with a smirk and glanced at Sherry with so much hate I'm sure my eyes could've killed her.

She sat on the floor staring at me with the widest eyes and started to crawl backwards, trying to get away from me.

"See, I would do you the same way you did Carmen. Beat you with a bat and have somebody rape yo worthless ass. Have you in a fucking coma." She shook her head quick as hell as tears started to crawl down her cheeks. "But see now that I think about it, that shit would be letting you get off to easy. You deserve more than that." I smiled and shrugged off my jacket as I dropped a thick bag on the floor.

"Chris tie her down." Chris nodded and tied ropes around her wrists and ankles as she sat cross legged on the floor. "Rather you wanna stay and watch this is up to you man." I said as I took out my desert eagle. She swallowed thickly and shook her head as her eyes stayed glued to my gun.

"Please don't do this Anthony..I-" Chris nodded to me and inched out of the room quietly. "BITCH SHUT THE FUCK UP !" I slapped the gun against her face hard and watched as blood trickled down her forehead. "When Carmen begged for you not to do it did you stop ?" I hit her again, feeling blood splatter on my hand.

*warning: the material ahead is very graphic, you've been warned.

Dingy ass bitch is going to get everything that's coming to her. I will make her feel every pain gland in her body ache. "Who helped you sherry." I calmly asked as I crouched down in front of her. She shook her head after staring into my eyes for a good 10 seconds. "Sherry, you don't wanna fuck with me right now. Tell me who the fuck helped you do this shit." I felt my hands clench up into fists and I refrained from fucking hitting her with my gun again.

"Your father.." She whispered in a voice that was so small, and I couldn't hear what she said. So I asked again and wrapped my hand around her neck gently. "Sherr-" "YOUR FATHER !" She screamed into my face and started breathing heavy as tears slid down her face.

I was stunned as fuck. My own father did this shit ? I..why ? I don't understand why he would want to do this to me..I've always been a good lil nigga, hoping my pops would be proud of me. I always made sure my mom was taken care of..Why would he do something like this man ?

I shook my head, but smiled at Sherry as I pulled out a knife. "See..I would let you get off. But you, you killed my son and put my wife in a coma. You don't deserve the life you living."

I spit on her face and she cried as she tried to scoot away from me.

Tony approached me with the knife and I cried harder and harder as I thought about what he was going to do to me..Now I understand what Carmen must've been feeling. Being trapped knowing some bad shit is about to happen but not being able to do a damn thing about it..

I screamed when I felt the knife plunge into my eye, but not far enough to enter my skull. I screamed and screamed as intense pain filled the right side of my face. I felt the sticky red blood drip down my cheek and screwed my other eye shut so I didn't have to look a Anthony. "Does it hurt yet bitch ?"

He yanked the knife out and I screamed more as my throat started to close up from so much yelling. He then took off my all my clothes without slipping them past the ropes, leaving me naked. The cold air hit my body and I prayed to god that somebody or something would get Tony to stop. This wasn't the man I fell in love with..

Did I turn him into being this way ?

My thoughts were interrupted as I felt him carve circles into my stomach, staring at my face with a smile the entire time. I'm convinced that his sanity is gone..The pain only got worse as he curved numerous patterns in my skin, sometimes sinking the knife deep into my body, but not piercing anything important so that I wouldn't die quickly.

I cried as he licked the blood off the knife, pointing it back towards my right eye. I refused to open it as I felt the knife bulge inside of my eye. But the pain of having both of your eyes stabbed and then yanked back with the knife was infuriating. I screamed as he yanked it out and chuckled. "Can't see now can you huh ?"

He plunged the neck into my neck and dragged it all the down to my hip. I felt my inside turn as the intense pain made me throw up. The throw up mixed with my open wounds and stung like hell, and I found myself screaming louder as my brain started to shut down.

"Rest in hell, bitch." He lit a match and threw it on my shirt, and I squirmed as I tried to get away from the rapidly growing fire. I screamed as the flames made contact with my skin and Tony smiled as he stepped out of the room, closing and locking the door behind him.

I was left to rot on the floor as my skin started to smell like cooked flesh.

Chris rushed me back to the hospital so I could be with Carmen, and he put a hand on my shoulder as he got ready to leave. "She'll pull through man. She strong, remember that. Ima go clean up..I hope you ain't do no physcopath shit." He jokes, and I cracked a small smile as I grabbed Carmen's hand.

"Try not to throw up..oh and the house might be on fire bruh." Chris blinked and opened his mouth, but then closed it as he shook his head and walked out, closing the door with a soft thud. I stared at Carmen and sighed as I decided to play with her pale fingers.

"Baby I took her out the game..all I have to do is get rid of my father.." I smiled at her pale face and tightened my hand around hers. "I love you so much baby.." I kissed each of her fingers and closed my eyes as I listened to her heart monitor.

I almost started to fall asleep, but her hand shivered and I snapped my head up to stare at her face. Her full doe brown eyes stared back at me, and a weak smile crossed her chapped lips. Her voice was weak, and it broke my heart to hear her speak.

"A-Anthony.." I grabbed her hand with the quickness and nodded to let her know that I was listening to her. "I-I know..t-that I'm dying.." I looked at her like she was crazy and shook my head back and forth quickly. "Baby you're not fucking dying, they are going to save you ! I promise man, please don't talk like that."

She shook her head and weakly squeezed my hand. "A-Anthony, a p-person knows w-when they are g-going to die.." "No Carmen, I already took care of sherry, I just have to take care of my dad and we can be together baby..You just have to hang on for me man." Carmen shook her head, licking her lips and refocusing her eyes.

"Anthony..T-tell everybody, t-that I love them..A-and I'm so sorry th-that I couldn't b-be here longer..T-tell Ja'mere that a-auntie loves him.." She gave me a weak smile and closed her eyes. "I love you Anthony." That was the only thing she said clearly, and her chest rose and fell a couple of more times before it completely stopped.

"C ?" I shook her hand gently and tried to ignore the fact that my heart was breaking. "Carmen, baby wake up !" My eyes got wet as I continued to shake Carmen, hoping she would wake up, but I knew deep down that she wasn't coming back. She was never coming back.

There wouldn't be another child. We wouldn't be able to have our big wedding. There wouldn't be a honey moon, nobody would be finishing college. There wouldn't be that big house on the hills, there wouldn't be our happy ending together.

I pulled out my phone and shot Chris a text, explaining everything that he would need to know. My mind was made up, and nobody could stop what was happening.

I stood up and crawled in the hospital bed, kicking my shoes off and stripping Carmen naked, as well as myself. I pulled the crisp white sheet over our naked bodies and unhooked her from all the wires and machines. I kissed her lips one last time and grabbed my gun from the waist band of my pants, putting it in my mouth.

In one swift motion, I pulled the trigger and smiled as my world went black.
