The Red Queen ( Part 2 Of Highschool Sweetheart ) ( Discontinue )

Chapter 13

*Eight days later*

Y/N's POV

My ankle has healed...I'm back to what was/is my room, my head pounds every day. Think of some way to figure out reality. He holds me, cupping my face,  he touches my lip following its curve. He touches my stomach, " two more months " he whispers... " till we meet Tova and Tristen ". They wouldn't keep me in a simulation while I gave birth, he kisses my cheek. 

I look into his eyes and feel real, my dreams last night I was being torn apart limp by limp, cell by cell and screamed as they searched my mind. He touches behind my ear, emphasizing that the machine isn't on my head.  " Do you want Rosy to come in? " he asks, I shrug as lean in on him. 

" I want to show you the nursery..." he asks me, I look more alert at him. " I forgot about that..." I say. " It finished being built a while ago," he says, " come..." he says, taking my hand and I follow him...He moves the mirror and we enter the nursery. The nursery is a modern look with two cradles. All of it is red and white, the walls have golden details, above one it says, ' Red Prince' the other says, ' Red Princess '.  A picture of the ultrasound is on the dresser, I look inside all the clothes picked out and ready for them. 

A white rocking chair in the corner and a changing table across from the crib. I look at it in awe, " I told you I'd get it done~ " he smiles, he leads me down the stairs, it's more of a safe room down here. There is a Tv and soft plush grey couch,  carpet flooring which I know won't last long when their toddlers. Cushions small and larger,  a chest full of baby toys,  some empty cabinets, " definitely should've waited to stock up on the clothes and toys " he mumbles. " They'll get dusty and we'll need to wash them..." I realize. For a bit, I'll play along just to see where it goes.

He nods in agreement " tell me what you need to know that this is real " he steps closer to me. I turn to him, " I don't know what to ask you...", "then let me tell you three things I know for a fact they don't know, every day I will do it until you trust me when I say your with me again ". He lifts my chin, I look away from the shame from the feeling it's not real but not trusting the feeling. " You had a teacher who used to hit on you when you went to university, you were Edd's neighbour, our first date we went for a walk and had bubble tea cause it was your favourite at the time "

I don't know how long they've been watching us...even if he is telling the truth...He tilts my head and kisses me, the feeling refreshing, passionate and loving. I break it quickly through...if this is another simulation they have every detail perfect. He gives me an apologetic look and it hurts a little...Hurts even more if this is real. 

" I'll get Rosy up in a bit " he promises, I nod bitting my lips.  As we head back to our room,  I hear a faint beep and Rosy comes prancing out barking at me. I pat her head and sit beside her, she pounces on me and her paws on my stomach. I pet her behind her ears, she looks dopy. Looking at me, " she missed you as well " he says looking back at me as he goes into the shower. I play with her for her a bit feeling tired and with a lack of energy. She can even sense it, she whimpers, " I'm sorry girl I'm tired ". She jumps onto the bed as if she owns it and I smile laying back down.

Tord looks over sympathetically, he doesn't say anything and kisses my cheek when he comes out. He's done this for around two weeks now. " This helps no one if you are real..." I whisper, " this helps me know you're ok..."  he smiles. He closes the mirror,  he sits beside me, " do you wanna stay in bed again? " he asks. Not in the condescending tone, in a gentle understand kind. 

I nod petting Rosy's back, " I'll get them to send food " he agrees. Tord calls for the order, he puts on the TV.  Playing a bunch of shows, I don't have much to do...I don't know what to say. " What did they torture you for sweetheart," he says sweetly. I don't answer...location, code, location and code. 

He sits down on a chair nearby, nothing has happened since I've been brought back now that I think about it. I should ask him the code and location, I know he might be real because he knows who Tristan and Tova are, well will be.  He kept saying their names and the nursery proves it. 

" What did he do to you sweetheart? " he asks, it comes out desperate. Memories flash in my mind as I recall the ocean swallowing me up. Drowning me, me begging Tord to take us home he would demand a code or location to go back.  I wouldn't know where else to go when everything went south so I'd run into the ocean but the ocean turned against me.

He'd laughed at me, clawed into me, ripping me bit by bit, grabbing my mind and screwing with it. When I woke up I'd be greeted by a whip, starved for three hours and fed scraps of different foods. I touch the skin where the tattoo was, he notices, his hand slithers down, I look at his wrist, my name is on it. 

He kisses my hand and lets me lay beside Rosy. We hear a knock and Tord opens the door for the cart, I feed a piece of bacon to Rosy and she gobbles it up.   Tord smiles, I watch her eat...slump back into the bed. 

I remember the memories of them torturing my family for information. I seen so many visions...I cried and screamed in them nothing helped and worked...

When will it feel better? When will I know?
