Chapter 4

~~~~~Unedited~~~~~

I woke up to the sound of the door knob jingling. I slowly sat up and prepared for Nathan to hurt me like Aaron did. 

'He must have found a key. He can't be happy after what I did. Maybe I should fake sleeping and he might leave me alone.'

I quietly laid back down and closed my eyes just as I heard the door slowly open. I heard him sigh and slowly walk over to me, his heavy footsteps shaking the ground slightly. 

"I am so sorry Bailey." I heard him whisper to me. I felt him kneel down near me and then his hand grazed my cheek. The tingles coated my face without warning and I jumped up, no longer faking sleeping. 

I saw Nathan jump and I sat up quickly and huddled myself into my comfort ball again and scooted into a corner. 

"I am sorry Bailey if I pushed you too far yesterday, I didn't mean to scare you." His voice was so soothing and comforting. Like I told myself before, I was no longer going to let him get to me. 

He is probably using some sort of magic to do this to me. 

I thought to myself fiercely. I spared a quick glance at him and saw that his eyes were red and puffy, there were dark bags under his eyes and he looked exhausted. 

"Please say something Bailey. What did I do wrong? What do you want me to do differently?" I didn't respond, I just kept looking down at my knees. 

"Are you mad at me?" I slowly shook my head. 

"Are you sad because of something I did?" I shook my head again. 

"Did I scare you?" I nodded my head and hid my face. 

"I am so sorry Bailey. I didn't know it would scare you. I promise I would never hurt you or do anything to make you upset on purpose." He sighed and sat down a few feet away from me. 

"Can you tell me about these people who did those things to you?" I shook my head. "Why not?" With my mouth still glued shut I just shrugged my shoulders. 

"Do you think they are going to come back and hurt you?" I nodded my head. "I will never let you go near those people again. I will protect you with my life Bailey." I saw out of the corner of my eye, Nathan's hand start to come near me but then stopped. 

"Please say something Bailey. I need to hear your beautiful voice again." His voice sounded so weak and broken. I licked my lips and said softly, 

"Please just stop this acting. Send me to work and punish me already." I saw his eyes widen and his mouth fell open. 

"What are you talking about Bailey? I would never do any of those things! Please, look at what I have done to you, have I done anything to hurt you or did I try to ever send you to work?" I was silent. 

"Please Bailey, please let me in. I can help you. You can trust me." 

"That is what Aaron said to me the day he took me." I hissed. "But look where it got me!" Nathan jumped back at my fierceness, I even jumped at my own voice. 

Where is this coming from! This isn't me!

"I am sorry Bailey. But I'm not like Aaron. You can truly trust me. I won't hurt you!" I shook my head. 

"I am not falling for it again. I won't open up. I won't calm down. And I won't let you in. I was fooled once when I was younger, and I finally escaped and I won't be drug back in!" I growled, getting louder and louder with each sentence.
