CHAPTER 43
I tried to look down the driveway to see where Jax was, but my father was blocking my view. And that damn gun caught my eye again.
“Drive.” He demanded with so much venom in his voice, I thought it was going to spill out onto the dash of the car.
My breathing started to increase and my heart rate was starting to spike. I could feel it getting ready to beat out of my chest. But staring at my father and the hatred in his eyes, I knew that this wasn’t the time to fall apart. I knew that I had to stay calm. I couldn’t panic. I had to do this. I can do this. I had to keep telling myself that I could do this.
I took a couple of deep breaths before I started remembering the self defense training that Harry had been teaching me.
I know that I wasn’t where I needed to be just yet, or where I wanted to be. But I know a few techniques now that I didn’t know a couple of weeks ago. And I knew that they could come in handy right now.
But they would only work if I could stay calm so I could clear my mind and figure out a way to get out of this situation.
I reached forward and pressed the button to start the car but just as the car came to life I heard a gunshot fire from the driveway of the house. Back where Jax was.
“No!” I scream, looking back.
I desperately wanted to get out of the car and run to Jax. I needed to get to him but dad pressed the gun to my head, feeling the cold metal pressed against my temple and I looked back at him.
“Drive.” He demanded through gritted teeth.
His voice and the look in his eye was growing so much more intense than I had ever seen before.
I thought I had seen my father at his absolute worst. When he was at his meanest. But I had never seen this side of him before. I had never seen this amount of anger and disdain coming out of him.
I managed to hold back the tears that were threatening to escape my eyes and I put the car in drive and I started driving down the road.
I didn’t even know where we were going and dad was giving me vague directions as we got to the turns that we needed to take.
“I can’t believe what an ungrateful bitch you are. You really should have been put down when you were born, you know that. When I found out that you were a girl, I told you fucking bitch of a mother to get rid of you. But no, she had to give birth to her little princess. And that’s all you fucking are. A princess who thinks she’s entitled to whatever the hell you want.” Dad was ranting at me. “Well, it’s all over now. You are going to regret ever making me do this. You’re going to regret ever pissing me off like this. You should have just stayed at home and this wouldn’t be happening. What just happened to your boyfriend back there, that’s all your fault. But don’t worry, you’ll be with him again soon enough.” He threatened me.
I was trying to stop my hands from trembling while they were on the steering wheel, thinking about Jax and what Lucas and Harry are going to come home to.
Are those men going to be waiting for them when they get home? Are they going to kill all three of them?
I could only hope that they had already left the house. Lucas and Harry wouldn’t know what happened to me. There’s no need to stay back and kill them as well, is there?
“You are really going to learn your lesson for disobeying me bitch. If you thought it was hard before. You haven’t seen anything yet. There are always consequences when you disobey me. And this one is going to be severe.” Dad threatened, still holding the gun against my ribs as I was driving.
“Please dad? You don’t have to do any of this. You didn’t have to hurt Jax. Why do you even want me? I mean, you said it yourself. I’m nothing. Why can’t you just let me stay there with them?” I tried pleading with him. But he just looked at me with the same look on his face. Completely unmoved by any of my pleads.
I tried to keep my eyes on the road, but I also kept looking back at my father. To see what he was doing, but he seemed different to me right now. Not the man that I knew. And that man was dangerous enough.
But the man that I was sitting next to right now, he seemed a lot more agitated and unstable than usual. He definitely wasn’t the same as when I left him.
“Turn here.” He demanded. So I tried to slow down but he didn’t give me much warning and I heard the tires squeal on the road as I turned the corner.
As we got up the road further I recognised a familiar place on the side of the road.
I knew where we were and I suddenly got an idea in my head. I hesitated for a moment, but I knew that I didn’t have long. It was going to be really risky, but I knew that it was my only chance. So that’s when I decided that I had to do it.
I was obeying everything that my father said and he was still ranting and raving at me, and while I was looking at the road I was also keeping an eye on my father’s every move.
He finally looked out of the side window while the gun was still pressed against my ribs, but it lowered slightly. That was all I needed to know that his attention was wavering slightly. I slowly and cautiously put my seatbelt on without him noticing and I quickly yanked the steering wheel, causing the car to veer off the road and into the bushes.
The car jolted violently and I grabbed the steering wheel even tighter, trying to maintain control of the car.
Dad was shocked by the sudden move and the gun fell inside the car.
Behind the bushes is a lake which was part of a park. A park that I was very familiar with. One that I used to hide out in and it had even more significance than that for me.
I grabbed the steering wheel even tighter as I gritted my teeth and my father was trying to grab the steering wheel, but I wasn’t giving up control. He started yelling at me and cursing as he saw what I was doing. But that just gave me more motive to do it.
I pressed down on the accelerator, driving the car straight into the lake.
