You're All That Matters To Me

Talia

Monday came around and everything was perfectly normal. Finally, McCann is out of my life.

Everyone was happy and calm after the stress of last week. But this strange gut feeling was not letting me go.

I was standing around my locker minding my own business when I got a sudden text from Amy.

Amy: Please come outside quickly!!

I looked at the time and questioned whether I should go or not. After all, it is Amy, the chances are she got dirt on her skirt (no rhyme intended), and now she's freaking out.

I decided to skip it and tell her:

Me: Sorry dude, got to go to lesson

And then turned my phone off and went to the lesson.

During the lesson, Amy was nowhere to be seen. And then during the break, I got another text saying the same thing.

This time I ran and saw a bunch of guys in masks and Amy tied up. Before I knew it, I blacked out.

I woke up what felt like hours later in a dark room. "AMY!" I screamed. I heard a door open but the room was too dark for me to figure out where.

"Your friend is fine. She's just in a separate room to you." I heard someone say. The voice was completely unfamiliar yet it sounded frightening but calming at the same time.

"Who are you?" I said.

"I'm your love." He said and let out a chuckle.

"Hi, your love I'm Talia." I rolled my eyes.

"I see that we have a sense of humor. Cute. Sadly, the sense of humor won't return you." He burst out laughing.

"Who the fuck are you?" I said much louder.

"Sweetie, don't swear to me because beautiful girls shouldn't swear." He said but I could hear the anger in his voice.

"Answer me." I gritted my teeth.

"The man that you hate more than anything. Wait what did you say that hurt me?" He said and thought for a second. "A cruel excuse of a human." He said. "You know it hurt. But I like that title. I'm Jason McCann, kitten." He replied and a shiver went down my spine.

"YOU FUCKING STALKER!" I screamed and then felt a sharp pain across my cheek.

"Don't fucking swear." He said and I could hear the clenched jaw.

"Hypocrite." I rolled my eyes. I then felt a finger on my lips.

"See puppy, I check the girls I want to have. I see what they do and then figure out if she's the one I want. You seem tough and therefore I wanted you. I overheard you saying that you're scared for the week and I knew I had to wait another week to get you by surprise." He said and started gently rubbing his thumb over my lips making me cringe inside. "And so, here we are."

"You're a psychopath," I said with his thumb still over my lips.

"Baby, I know." He said and laughed sadistically.

"Take your disgusting finger off of me" I cringed.

"Hm, interesting you're braver than expected... Strange" I then felt a sharp pain across my cheek. "Don't disrespect me ever again. Talia." He snapped.

"you're fucking insane," I said through gritted teeth.

"And you're doing this again are you now?" He said calmly.

"I don't care. Kill me if you want." I said.

"no. I won't. It's too entertaining watching you lose it and act stronger than me. But who's the one tied to the chair? Because from what I know I'm not one" he said and laughed like a fucking maniac

"Why did you choose me?" I asked.

"You see, every few months we go back to New York to find a girl for the gang. All of them were pretty scared. Which was so fun to watch."? He said with a sadistic laugh which only made me hate him more than ever. "You see, Christian is the oldest and therefore when he fell in love with Erika, we just had to get her. Cordelia was the perfect candidate for Shawn. They make such a cute couple. Bianca and Bizzle are like Romeo and Juliet. As you know Claudia was the most recent. Such a sweet girl." When he said that I breathed a sigh of relief. He's with her. Whoever I get is better than him. "She was the perfect candidate for Ryan." My heart dropped.

Oh no. I thought. I'm his.

"And you see those are all the gang members. I saw you walking with your friends from school and I just fell in love with you and as you know, criminals get what they want." And he started once again laughing maniacally. "So, hi cupcake." He said and placed a disgusting sloppy kiss on my cheek and started walking away.

That's when the adrenaline hit me. "I'll never fucking love you" Even though it was dark you could see his fists clenching.

"What the fuck did you just say?!" He half screamed.

"I'LL NEVER FUCKING LOVE YOU. I HATE YOU WITH EVERY BONE IN MY BODY. YOU'RE A CRUEL EXCUSE OF A HUMAN AND I FUCKING HATE YOU!" I screamed at him and then felt an even sharper pain across my face.

"YOU WILL FUCKING LOVE ME EVEN IF IT MEANS YOU'LL HAVE TO BE BLEEDING OUT!" He screamed back.

"THEN LET THAT BE BUT I WON'T EVER LOVE YOU!" I screamed as he was leaving.

He walked up to the wall and pressed something. Soon the room was lit up. As soon as my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw his face. From what I envisioned he was completely different. He was attractive, he looked around my age, his long messy blond hair was everywhere, and he had a defined jawline. But his eyes, his eyes were almost jet black. They were what ruined his face. The evil and anger in those eyes made a shiver go down my spine.

"See puppy, you're not so tough now that you see my face." He said with a sadistic grin.

"Don't take that as a compliment," I said and smirked.

"Shit." He said and lost it. "You think you're a comedian?"

"I mean you did laugh," I said.

He then turned around and left.

This is going to be an interesting experience.
