The Tainted Rose

Chapter sixteen

If you want someone to be honest with you, you got to do the same and be honest with them.

I felt my heart stop for a second as I was searching for words. "We uhhhh.." I was trying to come up with a way to tell him what happened without him getting mad, but I knew that it was impossible since there was no way.

"Youuuu? You what?" he asked.

"Aiden promise me that you won't do anything stupid."

"Why? What is it?" he was serious and it kind of scared me.

"Promise me; because I don't want you doing anything stupid for something that Damien said. Also I obviously rejected his offer, in case you have any doubt."

"Fine, I promise that I won't do anything stupid, but tell me already." By his face I knew that he was lying, but I told him anyway. I took a deep breath and proceeded to tell him, "He said that he would stop bullying me if I had sex with him. That he would treat me better than you and  give me better things. When I rejected him, he enraged and started yelling. That's when you showed up." I let my head fall in shame. I know I didn't do anything wrong, but still, I felt shame.

"He what!? I swear I'm going to kill him!" he seemed very angry.

"Aiden calm down, I told you this because I don't want any secrets between us. Especially something like this, so calm down before you do something you'll regret."

"Yeah, but we both know how far Damien is willing to go to get what he wants."

"I know, but he won't do anything this time. I mean he wants to have sex with me and that's something he can't do." This topic was starting to bother me.

"What do you know? He could come up with something!"

" I'm not gonna keep arguing with you. Think whatever you want!" I really didn't want to talk about what happened so I stormed out of the classroom we where in. I wasn't mad at him, but still I stormed out as if I were.

In part I was wrong for not settling things right, but I felt really uncomfortable talking about it. Maybe, just maybe I'll talk to him and explain why I left, but for now I needed to get to my class.

The bell for lunch finally rang and I was prepared to talk to Aiden and apologize for not talking to him all day. I rushed out of the classroom and started looking for him all over the school, but he was nowhere to be found. I went everywhere looking for him, I even went to James's classroom and he told me that he saw Aiden walking out to the parking lot. After hearing that, I went out to see if he was in his car. I was walking towards the car when suddenly my head was covered and my vision turned dark by some kind of bag. I tried to resist, but it was wasted effort, for I could feel someone else grab a hold of me. Their grip was so strong I could already feel the bruises forming on my body. As I gathered my strength to try one last time to slip out of their grip, I felt a hard object hit my head. Pain took over my body and I could hear muffled voices as I blacked out.

When I finally came to my senses again it was hard to open my eyes. It took me a while to open my eyes and when I finally opened them, I was blinded by the lighting of the room.

"Well, look what we got here. The princess is finally awake!"

"Evan? Where am I?" I whispered as I couldn't find the strength to even talk. I was so confused with everything, nothing made sense. Suddenly I felt an intense pain on the back of my head and it was when I tried to put my hand where it hurt, that I noticed that I was tied up.

"What? Why am I tied up? Evan? What are you going to do?"

"Shup up Ashley!" He had a bat on one hand and in the other he had his cellphone which I think he was using to call someone.

"Hello? You need to enter the cabin right away, she woke up." 

Apparently I was right, but who was he calling? Also, cabin? This doesn't look like a cabin, its way nicer than my home. It was well decorated, the walls were all white with some modern lighting, the floor was made out of what it appeared to be white oak wood, and I was only in a part of it but for the looks of it it seemed huge. 

"Evan tell me where we are right now and who was that you just called?"

"Don't worry you'll see and when you do you are going to regret everything."

I tried struggling to see if I could at least loosen the rope tying my hands enough for me to free my hands.

"Don't even bother you wont get out of those and even if you do, you wont get anywhere."

It didn't matter what he said I was going to keep trying my hardest to free myself.
