I Want You(Jason McCann)

Chapter 4

(That's Hailey. Her hair isn't that short in the book it was just for the shoot.)

Hailey's POV

When I first got here I was taken to a room in this huge house. Jason kept me there until he felt I would 'do as he told me to'. I've been here for a few days now. Four to be exact.

I spend most of my time in this room. In his room really. I'm not really allowed out unless I have to eat. The bathroom is inside his room. The second day I was here was the worst time of my life. Since then I've gone completely numb.

(Flashback)
"Jason please just let me go. What about my family? I can't stay here?" Jason's nostrils flared.

"You're not leaving Hailey! That's fucking final. You ask me one more time and I swear you'll regret the day you were born!" He seethed. My vision was completely blurry from crying. I know it's crazy but I can't give up without a fight. As Jason went to leave the room, I ran after him and pulled the door back. It took him by surprise and that gave me a chance to run.

I know this is a bad idea but I have to try. I could hear Jason's loud footsteps as he ran after me. "Hailey! You bitch!" He bellowed. I swear I felt the house shake.

Just as I reached the front door I was pulled back by my ponytail. Jason struggled with me as I put up a fight. I screamed and cried writhing in his arms. As we approached Jason's room I began to kick harder.

He threw me inside before closing and locking the door. "Why the fuck did you just do that!? Why can't you just love me Hailey? That's all I want!."  I jumped as he stalked over to me.

He lifted me by my hair until I was eye level with him. He looked at me hard before bringing his hand back and slapping me across my face. Jason dropped me to the floor. I screamed out in pain.

"I'm trying Hailey but you're making it so damn hard!" He yelled bringing his foot back in the air. I heard a crack echo through the room as Jason kicked me in my ribs. I screamed again as I tried to catch the breath that was knocked out of me.

He bent down to where I was on the floor and began hitting, punching, and slapping me left and right. With a blow to my head, I blacked out.

"Jason stop man!" Was the last thing I heard until it was completely black.
(End of flashback)

I honestly don't think I've even smiled since then. There isn't really a reason too. Jason's friends or gang members really, keep coming here trying to talk to me but I can't bring myself to respond.

When Jason forces me to go down for dinner I just stare down at my plate. If I do eat I throw it up later so now I find no point in trying to fill myself up. When I eat breakfast and lunch I stay up in this room and Jason brings it to me. I still don't eat it though.

The windows are bolted and the curtains are sealed to the wall. Even if I wanted to I couldn't breath fresh air or see the light of day. Jason comes in only at night but only to sleep and get me to eat. He's been in here a few times during the day trying to talk to me. He'd ask me a question or try to start a conversation. I'd just stare at him or at the wall with no expression or emotion.

Jason would give up after a few minutes and leave slamming the door behind him. He apologized for what he did to me but I just looked at him.

I feel like nothing matters anymore. I can't do anything so nothing matters. Everyday all I do is sleep and sit here in this chair and stare into space thinking of what my family and friends are doing right now. I don't cry anymore. I'm a drought. Completely and totally dry of tears.
