We meet again

Preparation For Vacation - Chapter 39

( Lorelai POV )

I woke up to a nightmare and quickly checked the time.

3:56.

I haven't had a nightmare in a while- just talking about that again makes...

Oh no.

I cried, acted vulnerable around him.

No! That can't happen again and I won't let it.

I got from under the blanket and looked at Nalaya one last time before changing into some gym clothes.

I sat the baby monitor down and grabbed my phone and the headphones before making my way to the gym which is also a boxing ring.

I shuffled my library and started doing exercises.

20 squats .

20 push ups .

5 miles on the treadmill .

10 sit-ups .

10 on the jump rope .

10 crunches .

and 10 jumping jacks.

I did some stretches and other exercises on the machines.

Once I finished I moved to the bag and started punching it.

* Left.. *

* Right.. *

* Left.. *

Right.. *

I chanted that in my head until I zoned out.

* YOU'RE WEAK! " a guard said to me.

" I'm ten!! " I yelled which was a mistake because I felt a shock on the back of my neck.

I screamed and there was water poured on me- extremely cold water.

and now i'm shivering.

" GET UP! " I slightly flinched and hesitantly tried to get up.

Apparently I took too long because my shirt was grabbed tightly and I was pushed into a wall.

" you're weak.. say it "

* silence *

I felt him biting my ear.

" STOP!! " I yelled and tried to move away but was grabbed by my waist.

" Say it "

* again silence *

" you asked for it " he said and I heard a belt being taken off.

No not again!! I thought.

I kept punching the bag until I felt my hands being pulled away and I kicked the person under their legs.

I closed my eyes tightly and opened them to see Jace on the ground.

" i'm so sorry " I said helping him up and looked up to see everybody looking at me in shock.

I turned around and the bag was on the ground with sand coming out of it.

When did the bag fall-

or break.

I looked down at my hands and they were bloody and becoming bruised.

" Sorry did I wake anybody? " I asked looking at them and nobody replied so I sat down where I was trying to slightly catch my breath.
