CHAPTER 95
SKYLAR POV
I had watched the sun go down that night and when I heard the door open, I turned around to look at it as Bentley walked back into the room.
He saw the tray of food still sitting on the bed and he walked over to stand in front of me.
“You have to eat.” He said.
“My throat is swollen. I can’t eat while it’s like this.”
“You have to try.”
“You shouldn’t have tried to choke me with a chain.” I said, looking back out the window.
“I told you that I was sorry. I didn’t mean to. Sometimes I just get angry and I don’t know what I’m doing.”
“Save it.”
“Skylar please. I didn’t bring you here to fight with you.”
“What did you expect, Bentley? Did you think I would be grateful to be here? To be kidnapped? Did you think I would just instantly fall in love with you because you have some weird obsession with me?” I snapped at him.
“I know that it doesn’t feel like it now, but I have done you a favor. I got you away from those guys. They are dangerous.”
I scoffed at him when he said that and I got up and walked over to the window and leaned on the windowsill.
I could see down to the ground and I knew that I was really high up. But there was only forest around the house.
There didn’t seem to be any guards or anything like that. But then I heard the door downstairs open and close.
“I’ll come back later so we can talk some more.” Bentley said.
“Don’t bother.” I said.
He walked out of the room and he locked the door. I heard him walking downstairs and then there were muffled voices.
I couldn’t hear what they were saying but the other person was definitely a woman.
“Come on guys. I know that you have to be looking for me. Come and find me.” I said to myself.
I turned around and leaned my back against the wall next to the window and I saw the cupboard that was on the other side of the room.
I couldn’t reach it because the chain around my ankle wasn’t long enough but something really strange caught my eye.
I got as close to the cupboard door as I possibly could so I could get a closer look and I saw some really small holes in it.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” I said.
I walked back over to the bed and I kicked the tray of food onto the floor and I laid on the double bed that was in the room.
It was a little chilly tonight but I didn’t want to close the window. So I got under the covers and I turned to face the window.
I could still hear the voices downstairs and they started to sound like they were arguing and it was getting pretty heated.
I grabbed my pillow and put it over my head so I didn’t have to listen to them.
I started thinking of the guys and I could only imagine how worried they were about me right now.
But it wasn’t just that. I just missed them.
I’ve been away from them for a day and I already miss them like crazy.
I could feel the tears start to sting my eyes, but I didn’t make any noise.
I let out the silent tears while picturing the guys in my head. Remembering every mark and every expression that I loved about them.
I didn’t know how long I was going to be here and I refused to forget them.
I refuse to let this son of a bitch make me forget the people that saved my life. The men that actually love me for me.
Bentley doesn’t even know me enough to love me.
I had never met anyone thi deranged before. And that’s really saying something. Considering what I grew up with.
I’ve known a lot of people that were pretty disturbed in my life, but Bentley was something else.
He probably has to be the worst of them all. At least with dad and his friends, I knew where I stood.
Bentley choked me with a chain and then apologized and is now being really nice to me.
It wasn’t meant to go like this. He wasn’t meant to be nice after he was mean to me. It’s never like this.
I wasn’t sure how long I had been there silently crying to myself, but I eventually cried myself to sleep.
It was still dark when I woke up and it took me a couple of seconds to remember where I was.
I was still facing the window but my head wasn’t buried under the pillow anymore.
I felt something heavy hanging over me, so I pulled the blanket back and I saw an arm across me.
I jumped up really quickly and Bentley was asleep next to me and I jumped out of bed.
The door was wide open but I was still chained to the wall, so I could run for it.
Bentley woke up as soon as I jumped out of bed anyway, so there was no way I would be able to make it out of the house.
He jumped out of bed as well and he put his hands up trying to calm me down.
“Get the hell away from me.” I said.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t want to sleep in the room next door. Not knowing that you were in here.” He said.
“I said, get the fuck away from me.”
“Skylar. Please just calm down. I’m not going to hurt you.”
“You are hurting me. Keeping me here is hurting me. Keeping me chained up like a dog is hurting me.” I yelled.
“I’ll leave. I’ll bring you breakfast in the morning.” He said, leaving quickly and shutting the door behind him.
I sat on the floor, leaning against the brick wall trying to calm down.
Bentley just scared the hell out of me.
Did he really think I wasn’t going to have a problem sharing a bed with him?
I heard another door open down the hall and this time the voices were closer and I could make out a little of what they were saying.
The woman was yelling at Bentley for waking her up.
I had to concentrate to hear what they were saying, but she sounded familiar.
I know that I’ve heard her voice from somewhere before. I just didn’t know where.
Suddenly my bedroom door slammed open and Madison was standing there.
“Madison.” I said, standing up.
“Keep the fucking noise down or I will kill you myself.” She demanded, before she slammed the door shut again.
Fucking Madison. She’s as crazy as Grace. I guess they really were meant to be together.
