Chapter 10- Daniel

~~10~~

Isabella POV

I've been standing in the same spot for ten minutes now.

As if right now I am inside of Victoria Secret not knowing where to begin. Everything around me was not for me; it was all for older women.

I felt a tap on my shoulder. I flinched back due to habit and turned around to see a worker.

"You've been standing here for quite some time now. Are you lost or are you having trouble finding what you're looking for?" She spoke in a sweet tone.

I played with the hem of my sweater thinking how I'm supposed to tell her what I need. Seeing me uncomfortable she asked a question.

"No need to be shy, are you just looking for the normal stuff?" She asked, still smiling. I nodded bashfully.

She told me to follow behind her as she started going on about what I should get and why I should get it while I stood there completely red.

While she showed me some of the undergarments I looked around there were couples and girls, even a few men. I was about to put my sight back on the floor but someone caught my attention, making me freeze in my spot.

Daniel! W-what was he doing here?!

He was already looking at me with a sickening grin. It felt as if it was just me and him around. My body unconsciously started shaking. The lady was talking to me but I paid no attention to her. My thoughts were clouded with fear.

His name sent shivers down my spine. he was my step-father's friend, whenever both of them would be together it was like there were 2 devils ready to punish me but he would always touch me. Which is why I have the phobia of people touching me.

*FLASHBACK* warning sexual assault please skip if your uncomfortable

I had just come back from Aliyah house (I went without permission) but Aliyah brought out her puppy eyes and I couldn't resist so I went.

I was dreading coming home knowing I'd be half dead in an hour.

Maybe I can sneak in from the back and climb the pipe up to my window.

I snuck to the back and started my mission. My nails dug into the pipe while climbing up the pipe. I pressed my nails against the pipe trying to dig in for better grip but it was only scratching it.

I grabbed onto the latch of my window and pulled it open.

Successfully pulling myself inside I put my bag on the floor.

"Your father was telling me how angry he was when you didn't return home on time." My eyes shot up to the voice of the man I could recognize from anywhere.

My legs moved on their own hoping to flee out the window and make it to safety before he could get to me. But of course the future held something else for me as I was grabbed by my hair and dragged all the way my downstairs.

My attempts to stand up and run away were futile as a strong force slot came slamming down onto my back keeping me on the floor.

I turn my head a bit to see Daniel's foot on my back keeping me down. I turn towards my front and see my stepdad ready to kick me. Both Daniel and James kicked me at the same time one on my face and the other on my lower back.

Then I heard the sound of glass breaking. I turned toward the sound only to see my step-father coming toward me with a broken wine bottle. He bends down to my level giving the shard to Daniel with a sinister smile.
