Damn that day spent with Dustin really did affect my offensive comments…
I finished it with smacking my fists onto his chest as hard as I could.
Jesus women ! He cried out, wincing in pain.
I stared down at him and suddenly remembered our promise.
Hey remember our promise ? I asked with a sweet smile.
What promise ? He said all too quickly.
I glared at him. That promise we made before you left, saying that you would tell me your little secret once you got back. I said slowly, forcing my voice to stay calm.
He sighed in defeat. Skylar, now’s not the time- he started.
I had had enough of this. I was getting tired of being kept in the dark around here so if I had to force my answers out of this guy, then so be it.
I was kidnapped, what else was there to do ?
My hands grabbed onto his wrists and pushed them down into the carpet by his sides.
Tell me. I demanded, towering above him.
No. He rolled his eyes.
Tell me ! I yelled, leaning in closer.
What if I don’t ? He challenged.
I will- I cut myself off as I realized the only harm I was doing was sitting on him and holding his wrists. I didn’t really have anything planned after this…
You will… He trailed off, a dangerous glint in his eye.
I will… My eyes roamed around his room and suddenly settled on my new-found target.
Not wasting any more time, I quickly jumped off of him and dashed my way to his suitcase, pulling out the first item of clothing.
I will rip this. I stated, holding up his shirt in my fist with full confidence.
Alright. He shrugged, sitting on his bed now comfortably.
I’ll ruin this perfectly good shirt ! I reiterated, shaking my fist violently in the air.
I have other shirts. He said in a bored tone, putting his hands behind his head.
I glared at him. He had to eventually crack.
I grabbed two ends of the shirt and pulled with all my strength until I heard the satisfying ripping noise of the fabric.
I looked at him to see he wasn’t in the slightest bit concerned.
So I took out another shirt and tore it in half. Then took another one and did the same. Next, I found a pair of black denim jeans and decided to spare those because as much as I hated to admit it, he looked damn good in them ; especially his behind.
I took out another shirt and tore it, keeping it going until there was a huge pile of shredded shirts at my feet.
I finally looked up to see him with a blank expression on his face.
I could do this all day. I threatened, looking at him with crazy eyes.
Whatever makes you feel better princess. He shot me a lazy smirk.
Before I could grab another shirt, a searing pain rapidly grew in my thigh and shot down my whole leg.
I couldn’t stop the loud scream from escaping my throat as I suddenly collapsed onto the floor, grabbing my leg which currently felt like it was on fire.
Skylar ! Nathan exclaimed as he rushed towards me and grasped my arms.
Your leg ! Don’t you have some sort of injection for it or anything ? He questioned, his tone drenched with worry.
It’s fine. I just need a minute, I’ll be fine. I assured him, trying not to wince too much.
No Skylar, this is the second time this has happened. Obviously you have something for it and I don’t want to wait a third time for you to tell me. Nathan pressed.
Okay fine I’ll tell you where you can get my injections from. I said, the pain starting to subside.
Really ? He asked, relief washing over his hard features.
As long as you tell me where you went. I said with a devilish smile which quickly fell as I scrunched up my face. There was another wave of searing pain, before it slowly faded away and left completely.
Skylar, don’t. You know I can’t tell you. He said in frustration. This isn’t safe for you.
If you cared so damn much about my safety we’d already be discussing your little secret that you think I can’t handle. I said lethally.
Skylar I’m your kidnapper not your best friend. I have a job which is supervising you, not telling you all about my day. That’s something you don’t want to hear and you’re just too naive to acknowledge that there are horrible things out there that you should stay far, far away from. So stop digging around and drop it. He snapped, his cold outburst taking me by surprise.
I glared back into his cold conservative eyes. You heartless asshole. I spoke, my voice breaking at the end. You took away my entire life. You act and treat me like some loyal dog thinking I won’t abandon your lap. Well I haven’t enjoyed a single second spent here, because I’d much rather be back home with the people I love. I expressed, tears welling up in my eyes. I stood up abruptly with blurred vision. I’m not your fucking dog. I don’t care how many times that squirrely-little bastard will torture the answers he wants out of me, at least it’s better than putting up with this fake shit. I finished, turning around and walking as fast as I could with my messed up leg. You don’t own me. I spoke in a grave tone.
Sky ! He called out.
Don’t. I threatened, before exiting his room.
Hey what happened- Max started asking as he started coming out from the kitchen.
I ignored him and made my way to the balcony. I stepped outside and shut the door behind me, the last strand of control slipping away now as the tears streamed down my face more freely.
I blamed Nathan for this. He had been the one who had ripped me from my friends, and then he fooled me into his charades of caring for me. He had been the one to get so close to me that I had walked away from literally a window of opportunity to escape ; all for his grouchiness. I had been kind enough to consider his life and strong ties to his mob-boss and decided to work with him, and yet he was pissing all over my kindness.
I froze as I slowly lifted my head from my hands and took in my surroundings.
Snow.
I ran to the railing and looked all around now. It was utterly breath-taking. The trees all around were blanketed by a thick coat of pure-white glistening snow. I felt a feeling of ease wash over me as I appreciated the beauty around me.
I stepped back into the apartment after a while and called out to Max, forcing my voice not to break. Hey Max ? How many days till Christmas ?
Umm… Two. He yelled back.
