Gaiges POV

I woke up with a really bad hangover (drinking all that whiskey and vodka wasn't the greatest idea).I don't remember yesterday all that well.I look down and realize Lillian is asleep in my arms(REALLY bad hangover).

What exactly happened yesterday? I remember her practically dragging me up the stairs,plopping me down onto the bed and that's where it gets blurry. I think I might have grabbed her wrist?I get up slowly because I don't want to wake her up and I feel horrible.

I walk into the kitchen make some coffee and grab a bowl of cereal.I hear her grumble and she walks down the hall way."You're awake" I say stating the obvious."Yeah no shit Sherlock."

Wow she's not a morning person"Um...what uh...happened yesterday?"I say awkwardly."Wow you were really that drunk?"she say."Yes I'm a hard drinker when it comes to it but anyways continue."i say"Well,"she resumes"You came down stairs.I helped you back up stairs to your bed and you grabbed me and hugged me to your chest then you uh laid half way on top of me and fell asleep."she finished awkwardly.

I don't what to say so other than "Oh."After a couple minutes of silence I say "So you really don't remember me?""You look like I've seen you before but I don't have any memories of you." she says."What did you get amnesia or something"i ask slightly sarcastic."No i don't think so.I just try to block out the past" Lillian states."Oh....Why?"I ask being dense.I already knew the answer but the hangover was hitting me hard.

"I don't really want to talk about it."She mumbled."Come on tell me"I pressed getting slightly agitated for some reason." You kidnapped me why would you care"she hissed.I stood up angry.

I knocked the chair to the floor as I walked over to her quickly.She looked scared as I pushed her against the wall.We were centimeters apart."You.Are.Making.Me.
Angry. Lillian."

Lillian's POV

He pushes me against the wall.
My heart starts to pound in my chest."You.Are.Making.Me.
Angry."He drags me by my arms towards the basement."No.Let me go"I yell."Stop struggling Lillian"he yells.I don't and he shoves me down the stairs.There's about 15 steps total and I fall down 8
of them.

It hurts like hell.I can only imagine how much more it would hurt from the top."I don't want to hurt you but obviously I have to put down some rules.Break these rules and I will have to punish you.Got that?""Kiss my ass dickhead."I mumble.He gets super angry and slaps me across the face.I start to cry remembering all the other times I've been slapped in my life.

He sees my tears and says in a slightly kind but still firm voice."Rule 1-always respond to me in a clear voice when I ask you a question.Rule 2-you will not yell or cuss at me.Rule 3-you will keep this house and yourself looking clean and neat at all times.Rule 4-Obey me and don't run away.Follow these rules and you will not be punished.Understand?"I yell"YES" breaking rule 2.By now we had reached my room.

He starts to drag me over to the bed.I start screaming"NONO PLEASE NO DONT DO THIS NOO."He ignores me for a while but finally he yells"LILLIAN I AM NOT GOING TO HURT YOU SO CALM THE FUCK DOWN.Now you just broke rule 2 so I am going to cuff one arm to the bed and you won't get lunch.Now repeat the rules back to me or you will not get dinner."

I start to try and repeat the rules back to him"Umm rule 1...is uh...always answer you in a clear voice and uh.... rule 2 is...umm.....don't yell at you .....and rule 3 is....umm.....oh fuck..it's ummm-"he grabs my other arm cuffs it to the bed

"NONO YOU BASTARD NONOO."I scream."You just broke rule 1,2,and 4.You will not have lunch,dinner,or breakfast.Both of your arms will be cuffed to this bed.If you need to use the bathroom or need water just talk into this baby monitor,"he says placing it on the floor by my bed"I have the other one so I will be able to hear you.Okay?"he says calmly.

"Okay"i respond in a clear voice."Good girl" he says smiling.He kisses my forehead and I try not to cringe away.He walks out of the room and locks the door.

Gaige's POV

I shove her down stairs.I don't want to hurt her but she has to learn.I give her the rules.I have to punish her because she disobeyed.It may sound perverted but damn she looks sexy cuffed to the bed.She has some arm muscle and her curves are showing.Her breathing is ragged.

I was just going to walk out but I decide to kiss her forehead.i can feel her cringe.I walk out the door and lock it.My heart is thumping against my chest.I want to hold her in my arms but I know I can't.I won't force her to do anything like that.She doesn't remember or trust me.I have to give her some space.I decide to watch TV.

I head to the pantry.I unlock the hidden space under the floor boards where I stash the alcohol and some junk food.I grab a beer and some chips.I turn on the TV and almost spit out my beer.There on the TV is a picture of Lillian.I turn up the volume on the TV.

"Yesterday Lillian Rennet,who is 16 years old,has gone missing.Police have talked to Lillian's friends,who she was staying with that night.They say they were just teasing her about some thing stupid when she got angry and ran outside.We didn't chase after her because she used to run off all the time when we were kids,"yeah that was total bullshit.

I'd seen the way her "friends" treated her sometimes they were cruel.Lillian was very loyal though and would just smile it off."No one else saw Lillian Rennet after she stormed out of her friends house.Police say they have no leads currently but are searching the area for clues.Here is a photo of Lillian Rennet if you have any information on Lillian Rennet please call the police department.I'm Lisa Weldon reporting from Fox News."It a nice picture of her.

She looks beautiful as always but if you look closely at her eyes you can see she's sad.I change the channel and smirk.They aren't going to find anything.I made sure to get rid of any evidence.
