Saving Her •Discontinued•

•Leilani's POV•

My "father" slammed the door shut and locked me in. At least he didn't beat me, but I knew there was more coming for me.

He never ever acted that nice.

I know this doesn't seem very nice, but he has been way, way worse.

I sat on my bed thinking of all the bad things John and Regina have done to me.

My mom would've killed my dad if she was alive on Earth.

It sucks not being able to run to my best friend.

•••

All I did that day was just sit there, waiting. I didn't know what I was waiting for, though.

I just wanted to finally be free and be able to not worry about anyone being in danger.

I didn't want anything else to happen to Max or me.

My mom was probably looking down on me with regret that she could've ever let this happen.

This was the worst feeling ever.

I was sitting in my room for about two hours until I finally hear footsteps.

My heart started beating really fast. My whole body began to shake. I had never, ever, been this scared in my entire life.

There was nothing I could really do to help myself and get out of this situation.

Luke couldn't track me anymore so he probably couldn't save me, but knowing him, he'll find me somehow.

John walked in with Regina on his right side. They were both clutching knives.

I knew something bad was going to happen, he was never ever as nice as he was the night I came home.

"Get over here now or your punishment will be worse!" John yelled pointing the knife at me.

I slowly got up and walked towards him.

Once I was right in front of him, he grabbed my arm and yanked me towards him.

He put his knife against the base of my neck.

"There is a man at the door asking for you. You will tell him to leave and that he can't ever come back. If he does, you better watch out. Do you understand me?"

"Yes," I said to John. Oh my lord, of course, Luke or even one of those his men come and try to get me.

"Ok, now go down there. We'll be right behind you where he can't see us, " Regina said with a smirk on her face.

I walked towards the door and there stood Noah. I had no clue what he's doing here.

I whispered to him to be quiet and I silently ran to the kitchen to grab a knife. I grabbed the sharpest one in the drawer.

I ran towards my parents and attempted to stab my stepmom, but before I could stab her, John grabbed my arm and grabbed the knife out of my hands.

He twisted my arm back so far that I thought it would break.

Noah ran into the house and tried to take me out of John's grip, but he wasn't strong enough.

John let me go and Regina took me towards the basement.

I couldn't see what else happened because Regina put a hand over my eyes.

I did hear John yelling at Noah, but I couldn't make out what he said.

I got thrown down the concrete stairs and hit my head. That's the moment I blacked out.

•••

I woke up tied to a chair. It was dark in the room so I couldn't tell if anyone was there with me.

There was a gag in my mouth, so I couldn't scream for help.

I was horrified as I sat there, contemplating what my "dad" is truly capable of.

Noah could be dead and that would be my fault. He was just trying to save me.

I didn't think that Luke liked me that much, but he sent one of his men to try and save me.

Leaving Max with Luke and the twins was the best decision I had ever made.

He definitely doesn't need to see or experience what's happening to me.

Suddenly I heard footsteps on the concrete stairs. Then... something, or someone, being thrown down them.

It could have been Noah or even something random.
I had no idea. All I want is to be free and out of this mess.

I want my mom so bad. I want her to be alive. I felt the hot tears roll down my face, one after another.

Then I was sobbing, a waterfall of tears.

If I die I just want to say goodbye  to Max.
