My Other Half (Avenged Sevenfold)

Untitled Part 38

I slipped out the sliding glass door after Brian hit Matt. I'm so fucking embarrassed that Matt acted like that in front of everyone.

Tears slid down my face as I rounded the corner of Zack's house. I just admitted to everyone that I have feelings for Brian. I know he doesn't feel that way towards me. I know that. Now I feel like an asshole.

I let out a sob as I leaned against the side of the house. Thoughts of moving far away from California hit me. Maybe it's just time to start over. I don't want this drama. I don't want any of it.

Taking a deep breath, I wiped my eyes. Guess I have to face Brian at some point. I sighed, standing up straight.

Before I could move, a hand clamped over my mouth and another one around my throat. The one on my throat squeezed it tightly, cutting off the air. I clawed at the hands desperately.

"Hi bitch. Thought I forgot about you?" The voice asked.

My blood ran cold. I am paralyzed with fear.

Gage.

Crazy, out of his fucking mind, Gage. He squeezed my throat harder and I can't breathe at all now.

"Walk. Do not do anything stupid." Gage growled in my ear.

He let off my throat some. Something sharp jabbed me in my back. It felt like it cut the skin. I whimpered, sobbing quietly as I walked into the woods behind Zack's house.

Gage turned me around and flashed a large hunting knife in front of me. The blade slid over my cheek. My body is shaking in fear. I can't move.

"Now, be a good little pet and keep walking. I'll slit your Goddamn throat if you make any noise." He growled at me.

I turned and started walking deeper into the woods. I tripped over a log, landing flat on my stomach. I coughed, trying to breathe again. I was quickly yanked up by my hair. I yelped in pain.

Sticks are slicing at my flesh as he makes me walk further in. The only thing running through my head is that I never got to say goodbye to Brian. I'll never get to apologize to any of my friends about tonight. The thought of this made me cry harder.

"Shut the fuck up!" Gage growled quietly.

We are far enough in now that I can't hear any of the music from Zack's house like I did before. It's all so faint. Gage made us stop walking.

"Turn around." Gage ordered.

I slowly turned to face him. A small dim light from a flashlight came on. Gage with his black hair and eyes stared at me with rage. He is sweating profusely as he points the knife at me.

"Thought I would forget what you had done to me?" Gage half yelled.

"What about you! You almost fucking killed me! And you almost raped me, you bastard!" I yelled, surprising myself.

All of my rage is bubbling up to the surface. Seeing him again infuriates me. No way is this prick taking me out without a fight.

"I should of killed you. You are such a whore!" Gage yelled, backhanding me.

Black spots clouded my vision. I stumbled slightly, then regained my composure. I'm so tired of hearing how I'm a whore when I'm not. Fuck this guy. I'm pissed now.

"You like that you stupid bitch!" Gage roared, punching me this time.

I let out a scream. My face feels like it may explode from the impact. I laid on the ground sobbing hard. Gage stood over me now. The knife came up, then down into my shoulder. I screamed as loud as I could. Pins and needles, along with what feels like hot metal is melting my skin. It burns and hurts so much. I've never experienced pain to this degree before.
