Amy's Pov

"You have two days to show up at the train station. Say goodbye to your little family. They will soon forget you anyways." Ryan said on the phone.

"I told you, I will go. Leave them alone!" I kept my voice strong.

"Are you raising your voice at me?"

"No, Sir." I grinned my teeth, I hate calling him that. But, this is my life again.

"Good, if you are not there. William's Dino will not be the only thing missing."

The line went dead as Mark walked into the room.

"Where is William's Dino? He was having a fit, but is finally down for his nap." Mark looked through the toy chest.

Fuck.

"I haven't seen it. Um, can you do me a favor?" I played with my fingers.

"What's wrong baby girl?" He looked up at me concerned.

"Can you call off tomorrow? I know you have a few days left but I don't feel too good."

"Yeah, I can watch the kids while you rest. Are you okay?" He wrapped his arms around me.

No, I am getting ready to go back to Hell, and I can't tell you.

"Yeah, my tummy is just upset."

He held onto me tight, "of course baby girl. I'll stay here tomorrow." He kissed my face a bunch of times.

I glued myself to the kids for the remainder of the night. tomorrow is my last day ever with them, and their safety will be used to make me do things I don't ever what to do. I hope Mark can forgive me for this. once they were put to bed, I latched onto Mark.

"How are you feeling baby girl?" He asked me as he laid me on the bed.

"My tummy still hurts, I don't want to eat."

He felt my forehead.

"Your not warm, but your face is very pale. Do you want some soup?"

I should eat, who knows when the next time I will have food is.

"No, I just want to lay with you."

"Please, tell me what is wrong."

"I can't. It will make it worse." I said through the tears.

He held onto me tightly.

"Kenny is locked away, he can't hurt you or the kids."

And yet somehow, he is still able to put the fear in me.

"Can we lay together?"

"Of course."

He lays next to me holding me tight, he played with my hair as I fought falling asleep. the faster I wake up, the faster I am back in hell.

"Amy, please tell me. Whatever it is, is keeping you up and you are shaking." Mark said, softy.

"Everything in a few days will make sense, just, please. Don't hate me when you find out what I have done."

"I can never hate you, I love you so much."

Soon, sleep won the battle, when I woke up Mark was on the phone, I was able to hear Sean on the other line from how loud he talks.

"Someone else has been contacting her, they talked for about two minutes yesterday."

"Who?" Mark asked he sounded worried.
