“Why are we even going there?” I ask while I watch Joe go through his closet, looking at his suits one by one.“To show him that you’re mine.” He takes out a suit and looks back at me.I stare at him for a while and walk out of the room annoyed.

Joe didn’t show me his face after that day; he didn’t get in the room and try to force me into doing stuff. I don’t know where he has been and honestly I don’t want to know where he is. He can go fuck himself; I will never forgive him for the amount of pain he has caused me. My whole cheek was swollen for days after he slapped me that day, I couldn’t chew nor talk properly for a few days.They are all beating me to pulp since the day they captured me, I have had enough now, this needs to stop.

It has been a few months that we have been living like this, he avoids me as much as he can and so do I. But yesterday night we had a little heated session and we both were on to each other. The next day when I wake up, he was already out of bed. I’m glad that he is not here, or else I would have to see him the first thing in the morning. After freshening up I go downstairs to eat breakfast, at the table I see him sitting with his breakfast. “You’re up, sit.” He looks up at me from his phone and gestures me to sit. I pull out a chair for myself and sit down on it; he stares at me for a while and goes back to eating his food.While I we were both eating he clears his throat, as if he wants my attention. I put the toast down that is

Loud banging against a door starts waking me up, my left hand is aching so much. I can barely open my eyes, there’s no energy left in my body to do so. Closing my eyes again I lean on the tub, but suddenly I hear a loud thud, within a few seconds I hear another one; this one’s louder than the other.When I go to close my eyes again, I hear the loudest thud and I watch the door fly open. I try to see with my hazy, I see Joe barge in and start to shout and say something over and over again. But I can barely make up what he is trying to say, my eyes shut down again and this time I drift away to sleep once more. I hear beeping; it goes on and on, it doesn’t stop. My eyes flutter open and all I see is white; it’s a very white ceiling I must say. I look around and the first thing I notice is, Joe, sitting on a chair that is kept by the bed I’m laying on. His head is hung low and his white shirt is filled with blood stains; an awful lot of blood.My eyes fall on my left hand; I see it’s all

“What do you mean? He is your boyfriend right?” The doctor looks at me confused. “No he is not I can’t explain everything to you right now. Just help me please, help me escape. If I don’t get out of this place today, my baby won’t survive. He will forcefully get it aborted, please help me.” I beg. “Okay, let me call the cops.” She takes off her gloves and asks the nurse to bring her; her phone. “No! They have strong connection please just tell him I ran away. Please just lie for me and I will leave right away.” I get off the bed. “Don’t you think after he gets to know that you ran away, he will instantly start to look for you?” She asks arching an eyebrow at me. I go silent, thinking about what she just said. Of course, he would look for me, probably will have other people looking for me as well. “Look, I will give you an advice I will go tell him you ran away. He will get out and start to look for you outside. But I would advise you to stay in the hospital for a few hours, before get

The night sky feels darker than usual; the full moon shines brighter. Wind from the open window is making the curtain flow with it, lying on my bed I stare out the window with Tim in my arms. He is fast asleep; his head is resting on my chest. There’s a weird pain in my chest, images of Zen keeps on popping up in my head. I can’t believe I saw him here, I thought never in my life will I see him again but today I did. He looks so matured now; he looks a lot like his father. I guess he did join their company, of course he did his mother always wanted him to. Seeing him has stirred up the emotions that I was hiding deep within me. I don’t even want to see him again, I hate him; I hate everything about him. Closing my eyes I pull Tim closer to my chest and try to sleep.

“How did she die?” I ask slowly letting him go. He doesn’t let go of me and keeps on holding me tightly and gives my body a tight squeeze before completely letting it go. Zen looks at his lap and fidgets with his fingers and sighs heavily and slowly looks up at me. “After you... after the whole incident with you um... she got into a car accident after a month you were gone.” He looks around not being able to look into my eyes. “I’m so sorry, hope she is in peace.” I slowly pat his back. “I was expecting you at the funeral, it was all over the news thought you saw and you would come.” He slowly smiles at me.A chuckle comes out of my mouth, he doesn’t even have any idea what my life was going through, come to his mother’s funeral right, and I have to be free to be able to go some place. “I really didn’t have access to a TV you know, living in a park bench doesn’t let you have those luxuries. And after you have been kidnapped and drugged you really don’t have the right mindset to get new
