Chapter 19 (Seth's POV)
I walked home from the party, my head hanging low. Why did I have to ruin things with Cleo? I let out a sigh, realizing that Cleo would never take me back...not after I broke her already broken heart. I could only imagine what she thought of me now--a sex addict? A player? A creeper? I sighed again. Well, wandering the streets wouldn't change anything. I picked up my pace and headed back to the apartment. I reached the apartment door and went inside to my room. I gasped. Cleo was bound to the bed spread eagle, and an old man, and...ERIC(?!?!) were about to get some from her. Eric saw me and came towards me. Thank God they were still in their boxers! He kneed me in the gut. I fell to the ground and reached for my stomach. I pulled myself up and punched Eric's face in. I shoved him against the wall, throwing punches randomly at his face. His nose looked broken, and I gave him one last punch to the face, and a kick to the balls to finish him off.
I ran over to the bed where Cleo was with the man. Cleo wasn't even fighting back. She looked...terrified...like she was staring in the face of the most grusome man in the world. Then it hit me; I knew who the man was.
(Cleo's POV)
"Seth?" I questioned. The man then hit me over the head with his hand. I was knocked out.
I woke up in the apartment, tied down to a bed. I searched around the room, my eyes lingering on one familiar figure, and one that was vaguely familiar. Eric was there, next to the other man--a masked man. He removed his mask and I gasped. It was the man from the attic. The man that destroyed my life. HIs one eye was squinted, still bruised, and a scar trailed down his face; the scar that I gave him. They came over to me, tearing off my nightshirt. I froze. My life was going to end...and very soon too. A shiver rippled over my body as they started to fondle with my body. I prayed inside my head that they wouldn't take to long with my torture. The man came on top of me, and started licking my breasts. I didn't even try to stop him; I wouldn't die resisting him. I heard the door open. There was Seth. He let out a gasp, and Eric went after him. There was a large fight, but Seth came out successful. Seth ran over to me, and froze and stared at me. His jaw dropped down as he came into realization. Suddenly, he punched the man in the face.
The man got off of me, pulling up his pants at the same time. He attacked Seth, and hit his eye. Seth grabbed his eye and cried out in pain, and the man then kicked him, and through him against the wall. I gasped. As the fight continued, I managed to wriggle free from the rope. I was completely naked, so I pulled a random shirt on the ground over my head. I ran over to the fight, where Seth was on the floor bleeding, and the animal towered over him. I jumped onto his back, digging my nails into his skull. He let out a cry of pain, and I kept digging my nails in deeper and deeper. He suddenly spun around, and flung me against the wall. The vibrations made a cabinet start to tremble. A potted plant fell off the top and started to fall. It fell right to me. I sighed in relief. One of the shards had made a small cut on my hand. I looked over at the scene before me; Eric was knocked out, Seth was trying to defend himself, but to no avail, and the man was going after Seth again. I pulled myself off the ground and started to go help. I froze. I picked up a shard and brought it with me. I jumped the man again, and he thrust me down on the ground. He came on top of me, and smacked my face. The shard had falled about a foot too far away. The man started fondling with me again, and grinding against me. I stretched out my hand and felt the shard brush against my fingers. I gripped the shard and thrust it into the man's skull, with as much force that I could pull together. He screamed and got off of me, stumbling backwards into the wall, his knees giving out and sending him falling to the ground. The shelf wobbled again, and started to fall over. It hit the man right on the head. There was a large cracking sound from the impact, and the color started to leave his face, as blood poured out of the wound on his head.
I looked over to Seth, who was not where he had been. I began searching frantically around the room for him, until I spotted him a foot away from me. He knelt down next to me.
"Cleo," he started, "I'm so sorry...I made the biggest mistake in my life by doing that...I'm so sorry...please forgive--that's all I ask. You don't have to take me back, just please, please forgive me." he pleaded.
"Seth, I've already forgiven you." I told him.
"You...you do?" he questioned.
"Seth, I love you." I told him truthfully.
"I love you too." he responded sincerely.
Seth leaned over and put his lips against mine. Then, even after some of the most tragic weeks of my life, my heart was stitched back together--not taped;stitched. That kiss was the most magical moment of my life. Seth would be mine forever and ever. I wrapped my arms around him, and his hands found my waist. We both pulled away and smiled at each other. I guess I would have my happy ending after all.
