Please Don't Catch Me (Demi Lovato Fanfiction)

Chapter 4 Two Pieces

I started to panic as I heard the footsteps were getting lighter and lighter. After banging my fist on the door and shouting for someone to open the door for what felt like an hour, I had given up. I sat down bythe door and hugged my knees and started to cry until I couldn't cry any longer.

Aiden's POV

I clenched my jaw as I followed Carl to the basement. I had no idea what he was going to do and I did not want to find out. Carl opened the door and walked down a flight of stairs.

"I am very disgusted with your behavior." Carl said.

"I don't love my sister like that I just didn't want her to cause another argument so I agreed for her to sleep with me." I explained.

"I don't need to hear any excuses." Carl said.

"Look don't punish Chloe for this, she didn't do anything wrong. Just let her out please." I said.

"Get down on your knees." He ordered.

"Wait what?"

"I said get on your knees." He said once more, as his voice grew angrier.

I reluctantly bent down and fell to my knees. He ordered me to scoot over by a pole that was support for the basement. It was quiet and Carl was behind me grabbing something. From the corner of my eye I saw Carl approached me with rope.

"Put out your hands." He said.

I slowly brought them up to eye level. He grabbed them and placed them around the pole and tied my hands together. He walked away and for a while. I wondered where he went and I began to think I was going to be left down here like Chloe. I tried to look back at the door, but my tied up hands were restraining me from turning around.

"This is why you don't mess around with Chloe like that." He said.

I saw his shadow casted in front of me. He raised his hand in the air as a whip was flung into the air. I closed my eyes and fear seeped into my body. I tried to break free from the knot, but they were too tightly tied. When I didn't expected it the whip came down on my back. My back felt like it was on fire. Carl went at it again and again and I could not hold it in. I screamed in pain. With every slash I hoped that would be the last one, but he kept going at it. I lost track at how many times he had whipped me. When he finished my back had burned 100 times more than it did and I could feel the blood ooze out of my body. He walked in front of me with a blade in his hands. I'd jumped at my initial thought was he was going to cut them off, but he cut off the ropes. I fell to my hands as he let me free. He did not say a word as he left the basement and just left me there.

I was in so much pain I could not stand up. I groaned, as the pain would not get better. Olivia who was walking by the basement door heard me. "Aiden?" she asked at the doorway.

"I need your help." I shouted.

"Kaylee please help me get him up." Olivia said as ame running down the stairs. Kaylee followed her down.

"Oh my, Aiden..." Kaylee was speechless. "I'm so sorry. I've never seen my daddy be so angry at someone."

"You grab his right arm and I'll grab his left." Olivia said.

They helped me up as I slowly made it up the stairs. They helped me to my room and lied me faced down.

"I'll go get the first aid kit." Kaylee said as she darted out of the room.

"Aiden I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to cause all of this." Olivia was almost in tears.

"It's not your fault Liv." I managed to say.
