The next couple days only got worse. Since Adam was convinced that I was a "problem" everyone has been treating me worse.
I begged them to stop, telling them I wouldn't talk back anymore.
It didn't matter though.
I was laying on my bed, trembling from the pain that was filling my abdomen when someone opened the door.
"Get dressed." Will said as I flinched away from him. "Why are you doing this?" I whispered causing him to sigh. "I have to, Julia." He said as I shook my head.
"Colby takes care of you. I-I know he can be a dick but h-he cares about you." I said, my eyes watering.
"I know." He said simply then turned around. "Get dressed before they get mad." He said but didn't leave the room.
"What am I supposed to do about the bruises?" I mumbled, a defeated tone prevalent in my voice.
"We're just having dinner, don't worry about them." He said as I nodded and went to get something to wear.
I wasn't thrilled that there was nothing for me to wear that would cover my body but I was slowly getting used to it.
Once I was dressed I made way over to Will. "If you're gonna do this, can you at least give me a pill?" I asked blandly as he turned around.
"I can't do that, Jules." He said as I clenched my jaw.
"Don't call me that." I grumbled then let him lead the way out of the room. When we got downstairs, we went to the dining room where mostly everyone was.
I noticed that there were a couple girls missing, and a couple new girls sitting at the table.
"Sit here." Will said then pointed to my seat. I nodded and sat down, keeping my eyes down.
"Please let me go." One of the new girls whispered, her voice trembling. "Shut up." Adam said as more guys came into the room, each of them escorting a girl.
"Now that everyone is here, we can begin." The guy who hosted the last dinner said as he stood up.
I have learned since last time that his name was Oliver. I thought he was the one in charge but I wasn't fully sure.
He always seemed to be charge of these meetings so I would assume he was in charge of the whole gang.
"We have a few new members. Tell them your names." He hummed and gestured to the girls.
"Let me go home." The one girl who was crying said as Oliver clenched his jaw.
"Tell everyone your name!" He yelled and held a gun up to her. Instead of answering she just sobbed which made Oliver even more angry.
Before anyone could stop him, he was shooting and killing the girl. I gasped, feeling my chest tighten.
I had seen a lot of violent things and a lot of people get killed but it was never women. Especially never an innocent girl that was around my age.
The closest I got to seeing that sort of thing was when I was the one getting shot.
"Name." Oliver said to the other girl and raised his brow, being completely unbothered at the fact that he just killed someone.
"Stephanie." The other girl whispered, looking down.
"Good. Evelyn is going to show you around and tell you the rules." Oliver said then put his gun away.
"As for the rest of you, we have a busy week this week. The party brought a lot of attention to some people." He said then looked at me.
I felt a shiver run down my spine, my stomach churning.
