I have no idea for how long we have been here. I keep dozing off and jerking awake many times. My back literally hurts by sitting in this hard chair and in almost same position for so long. I wonder where Xander is? Is he looking for me? Of course, he will be, he had told me he will never let me go. Right?

Many emotions are hitting me at the same time. Confusion, hurt, anger, fear but the most is the betrayal. How could Justin do something like this? Everything me and Justin used to had now just felt like a lie.It was all lie. I had put my guards down with him for a while. I had let him in just for a while and now look where it has brought me. Trapped, bruised but mostly hurt.

He had just used me to get to Xander, I realize. He never cared about me. It was just a lie, a fake mask he had put over his face. How hadn't I seen this coming? I just want this pain to end. Being betrayed,hurt, again and again, i want this to end. Tears fall down my cheeks, silently and i close my eyes shut tightly. 

But then again another thought enters my mind. What if Xander wouldn't have returned in the first place? Would I still be here? 

How can you think like that? Justin is a sick person.If he really cares about you, you wouldn't be here in the first place, a voice says in my head.

More tears fall down as the turmoil inside my head keeps going. 

Suddenly, I feel a light brush against my cheeks.My eyes snap open and i stilled after seeing the person.

Justin looks at me with a blank face, his knuckles brushing my cheeks ever so lightly. His eyes void of any emotions, just deep depths. 

"I didn't want to do this,Alex." He says.

"I didn't want to hurt you like this." He continues but i don't know what to believe. I search his eyes for any emotions but nothing just blank depths.

"Then why?" I manage to whisper out, hanging my head low making his hand that was stroking my cheek, drops by his side.

He looks at Harrison and Matt who are sleeping or unconscious, i don't know because they inject them with more vervain.It was a painful sight to watch them yanking the chains and roaring then slowly watching them became weak.I just want this to be over. 

Justin starts undoing my ropes and i watch him in confusion but i am also happy that i am free from those restraints. He grabs my arm in a tight grip and yanks me upward. I manage to stand on my legs but suddenly i felt, weak as my legs wobble. Still keeping me in his tight hold, he starts dragging me towards the door.

"Where are you taking me?" I ask him. I am still not sure what to expect from him and i am wary of him now and scared also.

"Shut up and keep moving!" He snaps and then i start to question whether i should go with him or not . I look at Harrison, thinking my options.

a) If I yell or scream, will he wake up? But it won't matter whether he will or not because he won't be able to do anything.

b) Try to fight Justin off and look for my chances to escape.

c) Go wherever he is taking me and let him do whatever he wants to me God knows what. 

Option 'c' is out of question , now i have to choose between 'a' and 'b' . I bit my lower lip as we come closer to the door and i did what my mind told me to do.

I push Justin catching him off guard as he stumbles forward and his hold loosen on my arm.I yank my arm from his hold and dash toward the door as fast as my wobbly legs could take. 

"YOU BITCH!!" I heard Justin's voice behind me and that was enough for my body to run like crazy. Out of the room, there was a hallway. I run as fast as i could hearing his footsteps behind me. I don't pay any attention to my surrounding as my only goal right now is, to run.
