Elena
I'm happy Avera is not home today, means no more pressure for tonight. I hop out of the car running to the entrance.
I push the door open, giving some support to Ella who looks a little tipsy. Thank God she wasn’t too drunk before I found her. She would fully become better once she washes up.
“ Hey why leave the party so early?” she’s speaking from her drunken state. I help her get into her room, I take off whatever she is wearing and push her into the bathroom to have a bath.
“ Ella you are drunk. You need to bath to feel better.” she is stumbling forward, I gently get her in the bathtub while I turn on the shower.
“ Let me be! I want to enjoy the party! Why did you bring me here?” her mouth sinks of alcohol as she mumbles slowly. Did she really drink that much within that short period of time? Did something happen between her and the other guy?
“ Hey, Ella. You don’t feel okay. Please get in the bathtub I will help you get a bath.” I hold her to stand steady, if I should leave her on her own then she’s falling off and damaging any part of her tonight.
I’m going to make the bath hot for her, I heard hot bath after getting drunk makes you feel relax, and yes drinking more water after you are done bathing to avoid extra dehydration from your body. This is what I will do, I say to myself.
I make the water hot after I have strip her naked. She squeaks as I sink her into the hot bath. She seem a lot calmer now as she’s no longer saying those drunker speeches.
Her eyes are shut, I pour water on it to clear her eyes from the alcohol. I’m still baffled why she drank a lot tonight.
She’s cool now, I take her out of the bathroom. Bringing her to her bed, I grab a glass of water from the table and give her. She’s much better now so she can hold up the glass to her lips to drink enough water her body needs to quench the dehydration.
“Ella, can you hear me? Do you feel better? Why did you drink so much?” I’m trying to bring her back, she doesn’t speak she just drops her eyes on the glass cup.
I feel something happened but I have no clue. Maybe I should let her relax for now, while I go upstairs to my room and have my own bath, I will be back for her maybe by then she would feel very okay to speak.
I go up to my room, pushing it open and what happen tonight at the lagoon start to play in my head. Honestly, I feel terrible at allowing that man touch me, I used him and put his life at risk just because I wanted to prove a point to my mates.
I feel bad, I hate myself for doing that right now because I’ve gotten an innocent person killed for no reason. Would they kill him? I’m baffled.
It’s late. I don’t think Avera would be coming tonight, wherever she went to I just wish she could stay there forever and not come back here. The house is peaceful tonight, I wish every night could be like this at least. It used to.
I rush up with my bath, walking up to my closet. I pick a crop top and a short blue pant to wear. It’s night now and I am only home with Ella so there is no big deal if I’m dressed this way. It would only make me sleep peacefully.
I’m walking back downstairs to meet Ella, she should be fine by now I’m sure. I reach the sitting room and I see her playing a slow song and sipping on coffee.
“ Hey, do you feel better now? You got drunk.”I demands as I come down from the staircase, picking a cookies from the plate beside her.
I haven’t really had much to eat, sometimes I forget to eat and it’s so bad of me.
“ I’m sorry I got drunk. I didn’t stress you right? I think I was overwhelmed by the situation.” she drops her gaze sadly.
“ No, didn’t. I’m glad you weren’t reluctant to get in the car with me because the guys came.” I come to seat beside her, leaning my head on the couch to relax I can’t helping thinking about the man I put in trouble today.
What if they kill him? I draw in a difficult breathe.
“ I was drunk, but I could see the panic in your eyes I couldn’t be reluctant.” she sigh.
“What situation was that by the way? Did anything happen?” I ask, my eyes are free from any expression. I’m just keeping myself more relax with the cookies she made.
“ Jamie…” she sighs out a guy name slowly and I suppose it’s the guy, I saw at the party. Andrew’s brother.
“ Wait, Jamie? Where is he? Did we leave him there?” her eyes widely open all of a sudden and I’m trying not to give so much attention to it because I don’t want to overthink. Did something really go wrong?
“ The guy, we left him. I’m sure he would definitely drive back home after we left.” I tell her plainly.
“ We what!? Shit-” she yells, now something is wrong, but the sound of the door bell interrupts her and I’m wondering who could be there. Is Avera coming back home by this time? Well I wouldn’t know because I don’t care to know anything about her.
“ The door..” she sigh to calm her nerve. “ I will get it.” she say. It’s better she opens the door for her because I have been avoiding eye contact with her since that night I found out she’s pregnant for Mr Callus.
While she go for the door, I sip in a little of her coffee enjoying the song by Justin Bieber -Baby.
I’m going to change the song , when I hear a scream coming from the door and that scream was from Ella.
“ Jamie! What did you do to him? No please. No!” she scream. I turn towards the door immediately, and see them walking into the living room boldly as they smirk at me darkly. The hair at the back of my neck rise.
Jesus Christ, how did they know here?
My pulse is beating now, as my eyes fall on the unconscious guy on Ella’s lap and immediately know it was Andrew’s brother my chest starts to tighten.
I stumble backwards in shook, falling the coffee from my hands out of tension.
“ Hello Soft flower, what now? Are you scared? Or brave? Tell me now!” Ryan yells kicking the stool in from of me.
The stool the cookies are on. My start to body shak, I’m trying not to show it. I knew they would react at what I did tonight because it’s true.
But I didn’t think it would turn out bad this way. W- What did they do to the poor guy? Fear is occupying my eyes, I try not to shake because my knees are feeling weak all of a sudden.
“ What are you doing here!? How did you know here!” I yell out of rage, building up on the inside of me.
“ Well… thank God for technology. I wanted to use this drunk-ass here to find your place, but he would be useful in other ways anyway. I found his phone and I discovered Ella shared your location with him, right when you started the car to leave your house.” he smirks, using his finger to touch his lips while he licks it.
Shit.. I scream in my head as I remember I ask Ella to share our location to him.
Fuck, this isn’t going to go well tonight. They have him and he is so weak right now.. my mind trails off to something else and I’m screaming the hell out. NO! I won’t allow, I can’t allow …
“ Why are you doing this for hell sake!?” I groan out of fear, I’m scared I might not be able to act strong in front of them now, I’m scared they might succeed in breaking me totally tonight because this guy here is my weak point and they want to us him..
I can’t let anything happen to him, no I can’t let him die because of me .. I’m already putting everyone around me in danger.
No this is not happening, please..
“ Now tell us Elena.. admit that what you did was stupid.” he comes sitting on the couch crossing his legs. His brothers seat on the edges of the chair, but Daniel is coming behind me and I see that his smile looks friendly but it’s like a venom.
I knew what I did was getting their reaction, on my part it wasn’t stupid I wanted to know their weak point but it’s not turning out the way I had planned it.
I gulp hardly down my throat, my pulse is beating fast. So much blood is rushing in my ears.
“ Admit your foolishness now, Elena!” Ryan yells like thunder, I tremble at the shock that emitted from it.
“ Darius.. grab his fucking throat now. Maybe she wants another guy dead for her sake..” he say in anger, I’m screaming no..Jesus, they killed that man at the party?
“ Y-you killed him?” I stutter in tears.
“ Yes, death is what he gets for touching what is ours. You are ours, if we catch any man touching you again, we will give him a slow death. We will cut off his fingers, one at a time and shove his dick off while we feed it to the dogs, we will make you watch it the next time that happens.”
Jesus Christ, I’m losing my balance.
“ Now admit or you want this one dead too!” he shouts.
“ No!” Ella screams, tightening her hands around his neck. “ No please don’t touch him.. please.” Ella begins to cry, she’s pleading for his life and all this shit is happening because of me!
I don’t realize when I start crying, they can’t kill him. They can’t continue to kill because of me..
“ I admit!” I shout through tears.. “ I admit what I did was stupid, please don’t touch him..” I’m helpless now, I’m crying.
I can’t control it. They are going to give another torture of my life, I can smell it. It smells everywhere in the atmosphere.
