Chapter 37

MIRABELLE'S POV

When he was out of my vision did I feel like I could breath again. I gasped for air while clutching my chest, feeling my lungs burning, my chest rapidly falling up and down, my heart beating so fast I thought it would burst.

I was still being held up by someone. My legs were uneasy, I couldn't stand straight and I was feeling dizzy. My eyes blurred with more fresh tears as I kept looking at the spot he was standing in.

How? How is he here? Out of all the places he had to be here.

"Belle." Someone muttered but I couldn't concentrate.

The thing he mouthed kept replying in my head 'soon my plaything.'

What does he mean by soon? He always called me his plaything. His plaything to hurt, to throw, to touch, and basically traumatize.

Someone came and put my head in their chest. I struggled against them, my mind immediately traveling to the past.

I thrashed in their arms, my sobs getting harder and stronger. My breaths were coming out short and uneasy.

"Come on you need to breath." I heard someone say desperately.

"Breath, like this." They took a deep breath and I followed the instruction.

"There, now breath in and out, just like that." They again instructed and I followed.

After a few more tries my breathing got under control and I felt the dizziness go, tho my mind was still fuzzy and my head was pounding.

I stayed in the persons arms still silently crying. They lightly caressed my head while mumbling sweet nothings in my ear.

After a while I lifted my head off the persons chest and I came face to face with Elias. He was looking at me with so much worry and concern that I immediately started crying again.

I clutched his shirt in a tight grip and felt myself break down again.

"It's okay, it's okay shh." He mumbled and I heard the pain in his voice.

He hugged me close to his chest. I felt safe in his arms, but I know that it's not gonna last.

"How about we go home and rest, okay?" He said and I nodded letting go of him.

I wiped my tears, but no matter how much I wiped them they wouldn't stop falling.

He took the car keys out of my pocket and helped me get in the backseat.

I didn't bother looking at anyone. They must be confused but I honestly couldn't care less right now.

I got in and lied my head against the window. Someone drove but I didn't see who.

Tears were silently rolling down my face as I looked out the window. Tress passing in a blur, cars, people, everything was blurry.

Everyone was silent, nothing could be heard except for my little sniffles every now and then.

Domenico was sitting beside me and I could tell that he had questions. He held my small hand in his big one and started rubbing circles.

We reached and everyone got out but I stayed rooted in my seat. I didn't move as the pain from the past kept creeping in my head.

I closed my eyes at the painful memories as more tears rolled down my face.

I took a shaky breath and opened my eyes, only to find Elias crouched down beside me with the door open.

He looked at me softly with his hand out. I looked at him hesitantly.

He didn't say anything but still looked at me gently. I eventually put my hand in his and he pulled me up.

I stumbled from the dizziness but before I could fall he caught me and held me.

I stood limply in his arms. He was basically holding me up, all my weight was on him, and if it wasn't for him I would probably be lying on the floor unconscious.

"Come on let's get you inside." He whispered.

He balanced me and helped me walk inside. Once we were inside I let go of him and went to start making my way to my room but I was stopped by three bodies blocking my way.

I was full on crying at this point. I clutched my hair in annoyance and said "Move out of my way."

I looked up and saw the oldest triplets looking at me emotionlessly.

I went to move again but they also moved blocking my way. I huffed in annoyance as more tears came down my face in irritation and pain.

"Mirabelle." They said at the same time sternly but I didn't listen.

More awful memories ran in my head and what he did to me. I shut my eyes and and moved backwards as the memories replayed in my head "No no no no." I repeated over and over again hitting my head "I missed you my plaything." He whispered in my head as his face came into view along with his disgusting smirk that makes my skin crawl.

"No no no." I kept repeating as I moved backwards until my back hit the wall.

I slide down the wall, my hands over my head, hitting it, trying to get his voice to stop.

I sobbed harder and put my hand over my mouth.

I saw through my blurry vision Alexander running towards me. He kneeled before me and removed my hands to stop hitting myself.

I struggled against his strong hold and thrashed around. I eventually got tired and collapsed on him.

I clutched his suit jacket and sobbed "X-Xander you c-can't let h-him come near m-me please." I cried desperately.

He wiped my tears and kissed my forehead "I won't let anyone come near you my love. No one will hurt you." He muttered hugging me close to his chest.

"Please please d-don't let him come near me please." I whispered, my head on his chest.

"Shh no one will come near you Belle. No one." He whispered back running his hand through my hair.

My tears have stopped, but I sniffed a for a bit and began feeling drowsy.

The crying, the different emotions, and seeing him drained all my energy and I could already feel a headache forming.

I felt my eyes get droopy and myself being lifted into someone's arms.

Alexander was the one who picked me up and stared moving towards my room.

He put me on my bed and covered me.

"Sleep amore." He kissed my head and he left.

But then someone opened my door softly and lied beside me hugging me close to them.

I felt warm and protected and felt myself get consumed by the darkness.
