The Breaking Point

Neglect and Regret part 3

*A/N- I decided to write my story without the script setting, I'm just going to write the dialogue the right way because it's easier so yeah. Back to the story.*

Jacob's POV:

It was dark. I can hear my heart pounding in my ears. I'm so stupid, Trevor is literally going to kill me, and Ciara too! I dragged her into my mess no matter how hard I tried preventing it. I won't let her die because of me. Someone turned on this bright light and I couldn't shield my eyes from its intense luminosity. I then realized two things: I was tied up and Ciara isn't here. I was trying to release myself from the rope'a hard grip but only made my wrists burn. I saw a man'a figure in the shadows and it was Trevor who came into the light. "Struggling is pointless Jacob, we both know that." I gave him a deathly glare. "Where. Is. Ciara?" Trevor glared back at me and started to pace the room. "Oh she's fine Jacob, just fine. She's with Romeo and Castillo, having big fun." I attempted to jump out of my seat but failed miserably. Romeo and Castillo are brothers and work as guards and part time dancers. They're the most sexually frustrated men in this business. Trevor knew this and did it on purpose just to get under my skin, who knows what they're doing to my poor baby, she's already been raped once.

"Jacob, I'm do disappointed in you. I have you five days off and you decided to take the whole week off, but I cut you some slack. Then, you decided to take another whole week off and pushed your luck. Do you know how many shows you've missed?" I didn't answer him, instead I glared harder. "Jacob, I had to give refunds...REFUNDS!! How many times do I have to tell you not to test me, huh? Because of your carelessness four men had to fill your spot and you missed an interview with Angela. She had to lie and tell them you were sick with the flu. What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Where's Ciara? Where is she?!?" Trevor was taken aback by my outburst. I then set him off but didn't care at all. He clenched and unclenched his fists, a thing he always does to ease his temper, and called one of the guards to get Ciara. When I saw them come in, Ciara was struggling with tears in her eyes. "Let her go!" I yelled. They roughly dropped her to the floor and she ran towards me. "Jacob, what's happening?"

"I'm so sorry love, you'll be okay I promise."

"But-"

Trevor interrupted her with the loud claps of his big hands.

"This, this is cute, adorable, amusing even. You guys all lovey dovey to each other, I have to say I'm enjoying this. And Jacob, you never cease to amaze me on how you get these women to instantly fall for you." I slipped my hand from the ropes and untied the other one, then I protectively stood in from of Ciara. "This is between me and you Trevor, Ciara has no part in this." Trevor laughed. "Oh but she does. She's the reason you're falling head over heels for her and distracted you from your work in the first place."

"Trevor, please, just let her go."

"Are you begging?!"

"Trevor-

"Since when have you ever begged?"

Trevor sat in his chair and leaned back amusingly. He's enjoying every minute of this. "This is far too entertaining." Trevor mused. Then his eyes widened and a smirk appeared on his face. "Tell me Jacob, does she know about your little play dates with Angela?"

My eyes widen and Ciara steps from behind me. "Wait, you're really with that Angela chick?" Her hands planted on her hips. "No, of course not, we're only fake dating for the public, it's nothing but business. I promise you, I'm not like Michael." I ranted. "I believe you." Ciara nodded. "He's just trying to turn me against you." She glared hard at Trevor. This may not be the time but I admire her boldness. Trevor clapped his big hands loudly. "Okay, this show's over! Y'all get a choice, she either stays here and becomes one of us or we kill her."

"No Trevor, just let her go!" I pleaded.

"I can't trust her, she might tell."

"Trevor no. You have me and that's all that matters, you don't need her. I'll do my job, I will never try to escape, I'll never miss an interview, please just let her go." Tears were streaming down my face. Trevor sighed and nodded. Ciara grabbed my arm. "No, Jacob. You'll be alone, he'll torture you. He'd work you to death, literally. I can stay here with you." I shook my head and smiled. "No. I need to protect you, I promise I'll be fine. You'll be safe now, without me." Tears were running down Ciara's face so hard, I felt my heart crack. "But, Jacob I can't just leave you here by yourself!" I grabbed both sides of her face. "And I can't let you die. I promise I'll be okay." I whispered. Ciara held onto my wrists and rubbed her hands up and down them. " I love you Jacob." She cried. "I love you so much....so, so much. I said softly, the tears kept falling.

Trevor snapped his fingers and his goons snatched Ciara away from me. "No!! Jacob!!!" She struggled. "It's okay love, everything is gonna be okay." I assured. She stopped struggling and started walking, looking back every few steps. She blew a kiss and I blew one back, then she was gone. Forever.

"Well that was emotional." Trevor chuckled. I glared back at him. "Stay away from her Trevor, I mean it no funny business." Trevor laughed. "I'll only keep to my word if you keep to yours."
