He Stayed|

♧42

"Why is Noah here?" I glare at Alex, staring him down.

Which, to be honest, is difficult to do as I'm currently tied up in a chair.

He takes his phone away from my face and sighs, clearly irritated.

"Obviously, he's here to save you. Which is so pointless, he is going to die. The boss really does not like his dad."

Noah can't die.

I mean, technically he should, for how our last conversation went, but I do not want him dead.

Death has some finality to it. It's basically saying, yeah, you're definitely not going to see me ever again. Even if you search the universe, you will never see me again. And I don't think I'm ready to deal with that.

I can't imagine myself saying goodbye to Noah like this. 

I don't want to be on the other side of the room when they kill him, forced to watch, unable to do anything. I definitely do not want to be the cause.

Noah only came here because of me. At least I'm deluding myself to think so. Maybe he felt bad for me and is trying to rescue me.

"So because my dad does not like his dad Noah has to die? Are you even hearing yourself and how absurd that sounds? Do you think you're cool running around doing shit like this? It's pathetic, I'm even more pathetic for not realizing how much of a nutjob psycho you really are. Seriously who do you think you are? Are you a ninja in some cartoon? Wake up you fucking idiot." I glare at him. 

He smirks back at him, and I can almost hear the click in his jaw.

"Stupid bitch." He slaps me and my head tears to the side.

I can taste blood.

"You're so fucking entitled it's disgusting. You think anyone willingly chooses thi-"

"Clearly, you did. Seeing as you're having so much fun playing psycho."

"I should have hit you harder. Or your mum should have. Yeah, I know about that too, mummy did not give you enough love so you sleep with the enemy. God how much more of a child could you be? You're fucking stupid and Noah is going to die, seeing as I 'enjoy' this so much. I am going to make sure you are front row center to his death."

Fuck.

Why is this my life right now?

Why am I constantly going through shit?

Did I piss someone off in my last life??

I have to get out of here and at least warn him. Tell him that he should get out, I mean my step-father is not actually going to kill me, so the real person in danger is him.

"Can you at least untie me? Clearly, you have got your facts wrong. I'm not sleeping with him. Okay? So fucking untie me?

"Okay, first of all, I can not do that. Second of all, I do not want to. Third of all, I'm not stupid, Aria. It's so fucking obvious that you want to help him escape. And I do not want to be the next dead guy."

"Then fucking leave!" I yell back frustrated.

"My pleasure, if it makes you feel any better after this we could go on a date. I mean I would not mind sleeping with my boss's daughter, it might bump me up the rankings a bit. Just want to have my share of what Noah had."

Is this guy fucking deaf?

Or just plain crazy?

I didn't sleep with him!

He walks out of the room, but before switching off the light, mumbling something about how I'm a whore and I roll my eyes sighing.

What am I going to do?
