Silent Torture

✡️Joslynn's POV✡️    
A Few Weeks Later

"YOU AND DEVIN ARE DATING?!" I screamed as I saw Alisa and Devin kissing on the sofa. My jaw dropped to the floor. I had just got back home from visiting my family and I walk into the house to see that. They jumped apart as I yelled.

"Jossy! What are you doing home so early?" She asked in embarrassment and surprise. I walked to her, my mouth still open in shock. 

"Why is Joslynn screaming?!"  Ace ran down the stairs in worry. I pointed to Devin and Alisa and tried to speak.

"They're dating!" I told him.

"Jesus Jossy!" Ace exclaimed in relief. "I thought something serious happened. I know they're dating!"

"You knew?!" I asked and turned to him with a disbelief look. "And you didn't tell me? Am I the only one who doesn't know?!"

"Pretty much." Devin answered. "We would've told you sooner, but you've been through so much and we didn't want to intrude on your recovery."

"Great, now my best friends think of me as a burden." I bit my lips holding back the tears. I moved away from them.

"Jossy, we never meant to hurt you, it's just it...wasn't the best time to tell you." Alisa placed her hand on my shoulder to calm me. I shook off her hand and turned to her with tears in my eyes.

"Really? When?! At my funeral?" I wiped the tears. 

"Why are you being so over dramatic?!" Alisa asked in annoyance. 

"Am I?! Ever since I came back I feel like you've all been so distant!" I shouted. I turned to Devin. "Devin, you've always been there to talk to me whenever I was feeling sad, now I can never find or even talk to you. Alisa, you're my best friend but you act like a stranger to me. You tell me everything, but apparently your relationship is more important that our friendship!"

"Wow!" Alisa widened her eyes in irritation. "You can find all the flaws in us but you can't find a single fault in Ace!" She pointed to him angrily. "You take out your anger on us because you're angry at yourself for not being able to say how you feel!"

"That is not true!" I yelled at her.

"Then say one fault about him!" She challenged me. "Say one and prove me wrong!" I turned to him and pointed my finger in his face.

"I hate your cold attitude! You're nice to me one minute and then you get a girlfriend and act like you don't even know me." He laughed. "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU LAUGHING RIGHT NOW!?"

"You're jealous that I'm with Sara?" He asked.

"I'm...NOT!" I yelled loudly in his face. "I just can't believe that you'd date her over all the other girls in the school! Were you drunk when you guys got together or just idiotic?!"

"I broke up with her!" He yelled back. 

"Jossy, you need to calm down." Alisa comforted me. "We're all sorry, you're right. We've been distant, we didn't mean to upset or hurt you in any way."

"I know you guys didn't mean to. And I overreacted...as usual. I just need some time alone to clear my head and understand everything. I'm going to the park, I just need to be alone." I told her. I grabbed my jacket and existed the house. The park was a few minutes away so I walked and enjoyed the cool air.

When I arrived the place seemed deserted...something was off. I walked to a bench and sat down, the grey clouds grew bigger. I should've brought an umbrella. I looked at the birds landing on the ground, coming close to each other and providing warmth.

I really need to calm myself down. I've been an emotional wreck the past couple of days, I guess something inside me just needed to come out. I just hated that I took out all my anger and frustration and confusion on my friends. I need to make it up to them. Hopefully they forgive me, and maybe I could get some help for the thoughts and dreams I've been having.

I'm such a mess...mom and Joe made me this way. I just wish I had the courage to tell someone, but I didn't, instead I tolerated pain and torture for all those years. A tear ran down my cheek, and soon I was sobbing softly. Here I am, arguing with my friends when they saved me from my abusive life. What kind of person am I?! 

"Well hello." That voice...sounded familiar.

I looked up slowly and the breath left my lungs. I stared at the figure above me in fear.

"How I've missed you." He said, his fingers caressing my cheek and wiping away the tears. "I'm gonna make you pay for running away."

He pulled my hair and I tried screaming but he gagged me. I kicked, scratched and punched but he was much too stronger. He held my throat, oxygen exited my body and I felt darkness surrounding me. 

"Please...don't." A tear fell and I fell into darkness.
