Running On Ice - {Liam Payne Fanfiction}

Chapter 26

*Liam's POV*

Cece hasn't called or text me in 2 days. I'm getting worried. She would have told me if her phone broke. She certainly wouldn't let it die and not charge it. What should I do..? I've hit to get to New York! I knew I shouldn't have let her go alone!

*Cece's POV*

I blinked my eyes open. My head pounding where I've been struck. My eyes stung due to the light beating on them. I went to rub my eyes. I then realized my arms were tied behind me. I grumbled and groaned trying to set them free but it was no use. I stopped and looked around me.

"H..hello...?" I spoke. No one. I waited and sighed deeply.

I heard a rumbling noise around the corner. "Hhmhmhmhmhmhmh" I heard a deep throat cackle. I raised one eyebrow. The figure rounded the corner. My eyes widened. My stomach fell through the floor.

"Dad...?" I said quietly.

"Oh Cece where have you been?" He said popping open a beer and chugging it down.

"The little beyotch has been in London" my mother said coming in the room. I couldn't believe it. My mom and my dad in the same room. I eyeballed her. My dad thanked her. She rolled her eyes and left.

"You're working with her?!" I screamed.

"Oh hell no. It's amazing what I woman will do for money.." He said finishing his beer. He came closer with a mean look with his beating green eyes. He lifted his bottle. I knew he was going to hit me. I flenched. I heard the bottle hit and shatter. I looked over. Glass flew everywhere. All over me. I shifted just a little. I could feel glass slipping down my shirt against my skin. Ripping and tearing. Causing me to wince in pain. He cackled again.

"I can't believe you ran away. I'm glad Cole found you" he spoke getting my attention.

"You payed Cole to find me?! Where are you getting all this money dad?! I was the money maker! You would have starved without me!" I screamed. He struck my right cheek. The same cheek that had the cut. The stinging sent goosebumps throughout body. He cackled again. Tears began to rim my eyes.

He stood in front of me. Tilted his head. Lost in thought. He had an idea. He came close to me. His big groggy hands grabbed my waist.

"No stop!" I screamed. He reached over and grabbed a rag and tied my mouth shut. He continued with his hands moving up my sides pulling my shirt off. He left the shirt where my hands were tied. Only in my pink and black lace bra. He stood back and his eyes admired me. I felt disgusting and helpless. He reached and tugged on his belt buckle. Horror entered my brain. This happened once and I don't want it to again. He held his belt. Not unbuttoning his pants. I was relieved.

Then it hit me. The memory of me running down the steps with the gaping slash in my cheek. I closed my eyes. Squeezing the tears that tugged to be porn out. I'm a nagging pain in everyone's life. I'm useless. I'm not good enough. My father hates me. My mom hates me. Darlina hates me. Cole hates me... LIAM HATES ME!!! The belt made striking contact from the side of my back, around my side to my belly button. I bit the rag intensely due to the excruciating pain. My face became flustered. I screamed through the rag another snap against my leg. Leaving a deep cut.

"SSSTTOOOPP" I muffled through my restricted mouth.

He grabbed me by my hair. My sensitive head tingled with what felt like burning in my scalp. He threw me from the box I was sitting on, onto the floor. I walked near me. He jacked his shoe into my side kicking with all his strength. I knew I was going to die.

*Liam's POV*

I arrived in New York. I remembered that Cece had an aunt that worked here. Lori! U rushed around the airport until I found the offices.

There was a lady at the desk. "Excuse me I need to see Mrs Lori. It's an emergency" I spoke mumbling my words from exhaustion. She pointed the way.

"Why hello Liam" she greeted. I looked at her confused. "Oh Cece has told me all about you" I smiled at the comment but got down to to business. "Look Cece flew home but I haven't heard from her in 3 days. I think she might be in trouble" she looked at me with concern like she knew what kind of trouble we had to be worried about. She gave me Darlina's and her dads address. I thanked her as I left. Running. I'm definitely on thin ice. I had no idea what I was in for.
