Mine

Chapter 25

 

After taking a shower, Kimberly wore a loose tank top and skinny jeans and wrapped her hair in a messy bun. She slumped on the bed and let out a sigh. Why did she come here in the first place? She asked herself. All she wanted was to save her relationship but look how it ended, she has lost him forever, and he isn't coming back this time. They wouldn't get married or have kids like they had planned.

Why was life so cruel?

At that moment, Kimberly heard a knock on the door, she quickly wiped her tears and answered,

"Come in." Roy soon appeared closing the door behind him.

"Hey," he greeted.

"Hey,"

"I was wondering if you'd like to go outside and take some air."

Kimberly could tell that it wasn't a suggestion but rather it was a request, so she nodded, stood up from the bed, and walked to the door. Roy let the door open for her.

"Thank you," Kimberly replied before walking out of the bedroom.

As soon as the wind hit Kimberly's face, memories of that ugly incident came flooding back making her regret why she gave in to Roy's request. She immediately turned back and was about to go back inside the house but was prevented by a hand.

"You need this. I know it may not be easy but it's necessary." Roy said.

She could tell he was concerned but his straight face was making her feel like she was only making that up in her head.

Roy's hand on her skin brought sparks all over her body making her knees suddenly go weak. Why was she feeling this way? She misses Ian's touch badly but that didn't mean her body was supposed to react this way to another's man touch.

She didn't need just any man's touch, she needed her fiance, her love, her life, the man she cherished with her whole heart. The thought of him brought tears to her eyes.

Roy noticed her mood change and slowly but reluctantly let go of her arm, not wanting to upset her. She inhaled deeply trying to fight back her tears.

"I'm sorry," she whispered. Changing her mind, she took gentle steps outside the house.

She needed to be strong for herself and her dad. She needs to stay alive and be determined to leave this horrible place so wherever her fiance and friends are, they will be happy that she survived.

But how was she supposed to do it all by herself in a place she had never been to before now?

This was her first time in the woods and the worst part was she had no idea how they came in so how was she supposed to leave without getting killed by those wild dogs? She stared ahead towards the direction from which she came running into Roy's house and couldn't help but tremble with fear at the thoughts of those dogs.

What if they come back when they get hungry again? Where would she run to? She was lucky the last time to have found this house after some distance of running.

What if there weren't any other houses out here besides the cabin and this one never existed? She would've been killed by those dogs. Why would someone even want to live out here in the woods all by himself and how were they able to build such a beautifully modern house without getting killed? She wondered, still staring ahead when she felt a hand on her shoulder making her flinch.

"Are you okay?" Roy asked this time with concern.

"C'mon. Let's go." He gestured for her to follow him when she didn't respond to his question.
