Chapter 44
"You know, it disgusts me that he chose you over me." I took a deep breath, it wasn’t the best day for her to say that kind of thing and we weren’t on campus where she had a teaspoon because of the security. "And yet, with him falling at your feet... you preferred to give to another. You took David from me and now you’re keeping him on a goddamn leash while you’re fucking someone else, you think that’s right?"
I looked at the blonde beside me, Jess held a dry, yellow smile on her lips. How could she know so much?" And I doubted that David had even deigned to give any information to her.
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
She laughed mockingly before approaching me holding my cheeks with her thin fingers and squeezing her nails against my skin.
"I’m talking about the sex you had during the night before David came in and you fucked him too." I gasped and pushed her hand away from me, even though her long nails scratched my face.
"You don’t know what you’re talking about and it’s none of your business, by the way, how do you know that, Jess? I doubt David told you anything like that because he doesn’t care about you." I said rising, her face took a bright shade of red and I knew I had touched her wound.
"You’re leaving so soon? Why don’t you sit down a little longer, red hair? We have a lot to talk about." Jess changed her face covered in anger to a sly smile, I forced myself to look sideways only to see Michael look at me with disdain as he pointed at me a revolver hidden by his jacket.
My blood froze just as the two smiled, I was forced to sit down again with a quick tug on my hair. I grunted through the pain and Mike smiled approaching enough that I could feel his breath on my cheek.
"I missed your perfume, Sarah. It’s so sweet, that must be why every guy around you has a fucking urge to eat you." I locked my jaw seeing out of the corner of my eyes the gun still hidden by his blouse. Jess snorted probably rolling her eyes and stood up. "Sit down, Jessica." Your time will come, so for now, I’ll handle it.
I closed my eyes trying to keep as calm as I could.
"You promised me, Michael, don’t you dare bullshit me."
He shrugged and looked at me again.
"Go get the car, David will pick it up later and it will be all yours." Jess smiled and vanished into the trees behind us.
He stood still for a moment, staring at me, bringing painful chills because of fear, if one day he came to be Mike, I could not see.
"What do you want?"
He laughed by touching the body left on the bench while holding the cold barrel of the gun to me.
"What else would it be?" You begging for forgiveness and your boyfriend, after Jessica has fun, of course, will slowly suffer the same way she did with me.
I swallowed the knot with difficulty that formed in my throat and turned my face to see Mike, but there was only hatred and the shadow of what he once was.
"He just took me away from you, Mike, I don’t understand why you’re doing this. About prison, you don’t have any more charges about what happened."
Then he laughed again as if what I said was as funny as a joke. Although it wasn’t, he seemed to be amused by the damn fear he was causing in me.
"Look." Michael held my hair and forced my head down, I widened my eyes and forced my breath to keep up with my heartbeat.
Mike held the gun with his purple fingers, several of the bones were raised and crooked. Still, he held the gun support tightly.
"Shit... what happened?" I still didn’t understand how he was managing to hold that gun.
"Spare me, Sarah. Your boyfriend was very delicate when he did that shit on me!" he shouted pushing the cold pipe around my waist. "One by one, that son of a bitch broke one by one after that night! And you know what he said to me while he was banging a fucking hammer on every one of them?"
I closed my eyes trying not to cry, trying to keep calm and not to faint. Michael screamed and pulled my hair as he spoke each of the words, forcing me to look at his shattered fingers over the iron.
"That I would never touch his little girl again. And look, you lied to me that day when you said you’d go out with me. You let me believe I was someone for you."
"Mike..." I couldn’t hold the crying voice, my chest trembled with shortness of breath as I tried to stay conscious.
"If you’re his little girl, why didn’t he do the same to my brother when he fucked you? It was beautiful to see, you know?" You moaning like a little bitch to my brother who didn’t even know you.
"Michael! Let her go..." I had to force my eyes open, David was holding his hands up trying to show that he was unarmed.
David did not sketch any emotion while looking at Mike, but soon my vision became blurred again because of the pain in my scalp.
"Look how lucky... two rabbits in one hand." Michael laughed and pointed the gun at David.
"Let’s talk, but let her go first," David asked calmly.
"You didn’t talk to me before you blew my fucking fingers off!" Michael yelled in my ear.
"No!" I gasped before the bang made my ears ring.
My body was pulled out of the bank with violence as my world spun quickly, so I was thrown into something hard, and my back burned with pain.
"What the fuck was that Michael? You promised me!" I heard buzzing and tires singing on the asphalt.
"Shut the fuck up! Or you’ll be next."
The noises ceased when my body softened, the pain faded slowly until the dark was the only thing that took my eyes.
My head throbbed and a strange sensation wrapped my stomach, it was not normal for me to feel this way. My body was simple to take care of and pain was something I rarely felt.
However, my chest was something that hurt as if a piece of it had been ripped off. The painful feeling of not having a part of me was indescribable, but I couldn’t see why my chest hurt so much.
The lack of luminosity completely took my sight and my eyes could not get used to the darkness, it was difficult even to breathe. I tried to move while my eyes were not working properly and it was impossible.
My wrists began to burn and my head throbbed again, I remember hitting my back also on some hard surface before waking up. I pulled the air hard to call for help, but my chest burned and a painful cough stopped me.
I was trapped, I realized that when part of my senses came back, but until the real panic began to take effect on me, I tried to let go a few times.
It was a quiet place, or I had just lost the ability to listen because of the unbearable pain that dominated me at the time.
"Get that shit out of her head." Mike’s voice made my spine crawl.
Everything that happened hit me like a slap, the squeaky sound of the tires singing on the asphalt, Mike yelling at David, and the shot...
"Don’t you ever..." I grumbled remembering only the hollow sound that stayed in my head before being thrown against the hard floor of the car, the screams between Jess and Mike until I lost consciousness. "David..."
The dry laugh echoed around me and then I understood that the darkness I saw was a cursed black hood, I tried to stretch my body and the pain returned to tear my back. I couldn’t move and with the amount of pain I was feeling, I should have broken a few bones before being thrown on this cold floor.
"Get you out, I got nothing else to do here. You broke the fucking deal, Michael, what’s your problem?" A hollow slap rang and then a moan exposed Jess. "You’re shit."
"Fuck you, bitch." He laughed as the annoying noise of the heels hit the concrete. "Yeah, looks like it’s just us, red hair." He sighed with a little fun in his voice as his footsteps approached me... "Isn’t it amazing? It was meant to be, just the two of us from the beginning. So you tricked me, humiliated me... let my brother eat the pussy that was supposed to be mine and after all, forgot I existed."
"David..." I grumbled and Mike pulled the cloth that blocked my vision making the clarity blind me and a searing pain radiate through my ribs, I groaned shrinking his body after he collected the leg after the kick.
"David, David, David! Yell, the redhead can scream!" he laughed and crouched to approach me. "That son of a bitch who took you from me and then broke my fucking fingers must still be bleeding in the middle of the street."
Now I understood the pain in my chest, the feeling of having lost something. I lost the air when it made sense when the pain again corroded and made my heart bleed slowly.
