Little Liar.

This Charming Man (13)

We ran until we reached outside the torture house. It looked like a regular house on the outside, but inside nightmares lurk. The windows with blinds shut like it was still sleeping. The door tattered and sagging away but boarded up. "This is the house." I introduced quietly. Alex looked at it with disbelief and took notes and drew a rough sketch of it. I saw Eva's car coming up the road "Alex run, quickly! Meet me at the donut place at 1pm." I hissed nervously before Alex nodded and ran out of sight. I nervously stepped inside and that's when I saw Miles. Only it was the Miles I saw for the last time in 2009. It was haunting, ghostly almost. "Miles?" I asked quietly as I came up to him. He had tear tracks pointing the way to his heart. "Miles Kane?" I whispered shaking him. He didn't respond. He was emotionless. Albarn had fucked him up. Big time. I knew he had to be saved. Maybe he'd never recover from this, yet he deserves to be saved.

I went to the room Albarn was in, smoking a cheap cigarette. "Ugh you...what d'you want?" He grunted with his angry red eyes. "I'm here to torture Miles?" I suggested hoping he'd fall for it. Albarn could easily kick me out or imprison me with Miles. "Sure, I need to meet Coxy anyways he has some new drugs for me." He smiled before standing up and stroking my hair. I smiled and went to where Miles was. He had been crying again. "Please don't have any sympathy for the kid. I tried to give him a shower and he attacked me." Albarn snarled before leaving the house.

I sat down next to Miles and he had ropes around his hands and bruises all over his chest. "Miles...I'm sorry." I whispered. He didn't move or say anything. "Don't you remember who I was, or why I am apologising?" I asked nervously. He shrugged his shoulders and was shivering. He was so cold. I wanted to find a blanket and coo him to sleep but he'd probably not sleep ever again. "I'm Jay. I used to be your best friend. I didn't mean to kidnap you, I was forced into it." I smiled hugging him hoping he'd warm up. He was numb. God, Albarn had really fucked him up! "Just torture me already! I'm sick of soppy chat." Miles screamed pushing me away. He was shaking even more now. I stood up and he turned away from me. I then saw the blood stains under his nose. "Miles you're my friend!" I pleaded, yet he shook his head and muttered "I would rather die than hear that!" That broke my heart. But it only meant one thing. Miles had been badly damaged. Already.

I found a belt and a iron wire in the kitchen and smiled coldly before returning to Miles with them. "Okay if you want to die so badly then feel this torture." I hissed before whipping his head with the belt making him sob and tremble. It broke my heart. I knew deep down the Miles Alex knew was in there somewhere. I tied the iron wire around his thin chest making it impossible to breathe. "N-Now..." He whispered before trying to eat my shirt. I went red out of sympathy, I had nothing. I stood up and left. I had done too much damage.

MILES'S POV
I sat in the same spot I had sat in for the past 2-3 days. Albarn had tried to give me a scolding hot shower but I screamed and punched him, making him kick my legs. I was subjected to watch movies that were essentially propaganda that tampers with your mind. I was left with no food, no water and was incredibly cold. I had been here a week. Albarn was out again. Coxon keeps selling him more and more drugs. Which worries me as he could be arrested. Every afternoon he gives me a daily drug. God knows what they are, but one side effect is nausea and the other is disorientation. I try and fight it but I feel myself getting weaker and weaker each day. Sometimes Jay or Eva come over, Jay is hesitant about hurting me yet Eva enjoys it.

"Kaney boy! I've come with a new dessert! Come try it!" Eva squealed making me tremble and remember the last treat she made; Punch dans le  stomach. I walked weakly into the kitchen. Nausea rolled like analogue static and my legs felt like wet and hot gloop. "I made it especially for you, 'Sleep easy no more' it's a pudding for those who struggle to sleep." She laughed. I stopped infront of the pudding. I heard the front door open. Jay. I was slowly cutting the pudding and about to take a bite when Jay snatched the fork. "Thank you!" He apologized before grabbing my frail body. I coughed and spluttered as he dragged me to the bathroom and locked the door. "Jay, what the hell!?" I choked as he had left me there. "Eva, Albarn told you not to kill him!" Jay hissed before a hoot of laughter rumbled, "D'you think I care about Albarn? He faked his death upon that dirt years ago!" She screamed, I was shaking and crying. "It is not his fault! He wanted to save innocent people from a train hijacking only for his cousin Alfie to be killed!" Jay snapped. Eva tuttered and screamed, "If that was the truth then why did Kane leave the gang?" I heard a bang. A gunshot. The sound of Albarn entering the building "Thank you Eva. Killing Jay was our main goal. He deserved it." He muttered. Eva replied confidently, "Oh please, he had sympathy for that stick of dirt Kane." Albarn unlocked the bathroom door and glared at me "Eva I think you need to do some mental torture on this guy." He yelled. His teeth baring at me.

Eva sat down next to me and smiled wickedly at the sight of broken me. "Jay wasn't going to save you. He wanted to kill you himself." She hissed. I didn't believe her. She grabbed both sides of my head and yelled, "He was a bastard. A complete bastard. Like you." I was shaking. I tried to stand up but she grabbed my throat. "No one is coming for you Kane. Its better to beg for death now, rather than later." She whispered before letting me go. I glared at her and muttered, "If no one is coming, explain Jay's sympathy." She went silent for a bit. "I said, if Jay was sympethic then explain it." I hissed before she got up and left the room.
