Isaacs pov
Day 2:
More broken ribs, more shocking, bruised and bloodied face
Day 3:
They beat me up pretty bad and my shoulder is dislocated
Day 4:
I can't see out of one eye, my wrists are bleeding, blood everywhere
Day 5:
More shocking, water boarding. Harley was getting impatient
Day 6:
My hands felt like they were being ripped off since the rope was cutting into them
Day 7:
I wasn't sure where he went but Harley wasn't here, mostly punching or the metal pipe
Day 8:
"So where did Harley go" I said "he had business" "look if you're gonna kill me just do it" "not until Mr. D'Angelo gets back" "we'll make a deal, you let me leave I will pay you what ever you want" "no" he said before punching me then I spit out the blood "fuck you, you're just Harleys bitch" I said before he did it again, knocking me out.

I've stayed at Isaacs house a few times this week. The third day of him being gone, they found his car. It didn't even feel like fall break, I hated this more than anything.

"Hailey Rorys here" mom yelled. I knew if I stayed up here long enough Rory would just come up.

"Hey" "hey Rory" "you doing any better" "no" "babe you can't lay in bed all day" "I won't, at 6 I'm going back to his house" "until then you're just gonna lay here" "that's the plan" "then I'm gonna lay here with you, scoot over" she said. She put her arms around my neck pulling me over to her.

"Remember when we were 11 and I kissed Peter Hill and then he got a girlfriend the next day" she said "yea" "and how I cried and cried" "yea" "and you stayed in my room with me for the whole day" "yea" "I know you're scared and worried and heartbroken but I'm here okay and trust me if he can Isaac will come back. We don't have to do anything ever until you're ready" "thank you Rory" "of course" "we could watch a movie" I told her as she grabbed the remote and turned on Netflix.

I ended falling asleep on her since I didn't sleep last night.
"Hailey. It's 6" Rory told me waking me up "okay. Thanks" I said lifting off of her "are you gonna be okay" "eventually" "okay" she said getting up. We walked out together and I went to Isaacs house.

When I woke up it was dark, I wasn't sure if I slept for a few hours or the whole next day but my head hurt and my wrists were burning and my cheek hurt and so did everything else.

"Finally" someone said and I expected Harley to walk from behind me but it wasn't him "how long was I out" "a day and a half. Just listen to me. I'm the only one here. I'm gonna let you down but that's it you have to take yourself somewhere okay" "why would you help me what do you want" "I don't work for the brat, I work for his father" "so" "so do you want to get out of here or not" "okay".

I could barely stand but I'd make it work. When I got out of the building I knew where I was, I've been around here before. It was Long Island city which for a walk to Manhattan is almost two hours. I could make it home tonight.
I popped my shoulder back in place quickly and started moving. It was hard to breathe since my ribs were broken and I couldn't see out of my eye. My stomach and face were bruised beyond belief and the skin on my wrists were torn from the rope.
I made it pretty far before I needed a break. I caught my breath and after a while I got up and kept going.

Eventually I made it to the neighborhood. I was tired and out of breath and needed water and felt like passing out.

There was Rickys car and Haileys car in front of the house and I just needed twenty more steps. I held onto my side as I dragged my feet slowly to the front door. I was dizzy but I was here. As soon as I pressed the doorbell I passed out again.

When I got to Isaacs house, Ricky Leo and Natalie were here. It was nice being with people. Usually I just talk to his mom for a little bit then I go to his room and sulk. I planned on going home eventually but I knew being by myself wouldn't do me any good.

For the first time in a while I was glad to have people around me. I liked Ricky and Leo they were fun and they tried to cheer me up even though I could tell they were stressing over it too.

"Danielle the door" Anna said.

"Oh my god, Mr. Castellano come fast" she said as Simon rushed to the door "oh my god" he said too and as we all got up he walked into the living room with Isaac. Ricky helped him to the couch before Anna went over to him.

"Isaac, can you hear me" she said but he was passed out. His face was bloodied and he looked like he was burned or something. His whole body was bruised and it was obvious that his shoulder was out of place.

Danielle came back with a bucket of water and a rag and bandages and sling for his arm. I went over to him grabbing his hand.

"Is he alive" I asked her "yes. Thankfully" "okay".

After she cleaned him everyone else went into the dining room and Dixie and Natalie went upstairs.
I sat on the floor in front of the couch holding his hand. All I wanted was for him to open his eyes.

"Hi mom" "hey hon are you still there" "yes. Isaac is here" "he's there" "yea. He just showed up at the door" "oh my god" "he's sleep now though we're waiting for him to wake up" "okay. That's amazing honey. Keep us updated we'll try to come tomorrow" "okay" "alright hon love you" "love you mom" I said hanging up.

A little while later Ricky and Leo left and Danielle came over with some more bandages and ice packs for Isaac.

"Hailey you could rest I'll stay with him" Anna said "no I want to stay with him if that's okay" "are you sure" "yes you could both get some rest and I'll get you when he wakes up" "okay then" she said before she and Simon went into their room.

After going to sleep on his arm, I was half awaken by his cough.
"So I made it" he said lowly as I quickly turned to him "Isaac oh my god" I said kissing him "hey beautiful" "hi" "Hails I love you" "I love you too. I uh I'm gonna get your parents" I said as nodded.

"Mr. Castellano he's awake" I said knocking on the door before it opened quickly.

"Isaac. Thank god you're okay" he said "I'm fine" he said as Danielle came over. Surprisingly to me, Danielle had a lot of medical training.

"How's your shoulder" she asked him "hurts" "take this" she said giving him two pills and some water.
"Were you uh electrocuted" "yea" "okay. I put something on the burns to help it heal but I just need to clean your wrists and redo the bandages" she said as he nodded. He laid back closing his eyes as she did so and I could see the pain on his face. She cleaned his face and then give him more ice for the bruises and his ribs.

"Thank you Danielle" he said "of course sir" she said picking up whatever she used.

"Where were you" his dad asked "Long Island city some warehouse" "how did you get out" "one of them let me out" "one of Harleys men" "one of his dads men, said he didn't work for Harley or some shit" "okay" "uh where's Dixie" "sleep I could get her" his mom said "please".

"Hey Dixie" "Isaac. How are you feeling" "I'll be okay. I'm sorry" "don't be I'm just glad I have you back" "I know, me too".

Everyone stayed out in the living room for a while before Dixie and Anna went back to their rooms.
"I could help you up to your room" Simon said "sure" Isaac said.

"Goodnight you two" he said closing Isaacs door.

"How've you been" he asked me "uh okay" "talk to me Hails" "I was scared" "and" "I don't know Isaac it was really hard to get out of bed and do anything. I couldn't eat or sleep really" "get some rest now. I'm here and I'm okay" "but if you need something I can get it" "no I'll be fine. Go to sleep please" "okay" "goodnight Hails" "goodnight Isaac. If you need anything just-" "goodnight Hails" "okay" I said closing my eyes and I was sleep almost immediately.
