Isabella's pov :
I still can't believe I missed the whole day
We are all now downstairs in the living room as I forced everyone down here as I wanna make sure they know they are not forgiven
"Right guys I called you all down here to let you all know I'm still extremely pissed at all of you , okay?" I said from the head of the table like their mother
"So none of you are gonna be demanding me around from now on I get the message I can't escape, whatever but any of you piss me off like that again and I'm gone" I said and summer smiles at me taking charge of the situation for once
"Oh and where am I sleeping tonight?" Both me and summer asked and laugh slightly after but wait for an answer nevertheless
"I'll sleep on the couch" adrain said and I smiled in appreciation
"Yeah me too" Killian said too and summer seemed very pleased with that
It only took for me too faint.
"Alright then" I said with a smile and then I got up and went to get a shower in one of the millions of bathroom's they have here
I just got a shower in adrains en-suite in his Room grabbing a pair of pajamas as it is night time but I don't think I'll be going sleep anytime soon
I unstrip and once again I stupidly look at myself in the mirror
Knowing what it'll do.
The bruising most bright around my neck but still an obvious one around my chin and wrists
Scars that I covered with concealer just this morning now peaking though, the one on my hip that says "CR" his initials in printed on me
Permanently.
It reminds me of today
Flashback*
"You fucking bitches trying to escape?!" He yelled at me and summer after are escape attempt
I was scared but I now knew how to hide it
He started kicking summer making me watch
"STOP PLEASE!" I begged him and that got his attention he stopped kicking summer and made his way over to me like a predator
I was his prey.
He began to choke me
"Please you know she has low iron she'll faint!!" Summer shouted at him begging him to stop but that only made him add pressure
He liked when I was out cold.
I couldn't move when he did it if I was unconscious
"Please carter" is the only thing I got out before I blacked out
End of flashback*
Later that night after he...
Well that doesn't matter he cut both me and summer had write his initials on us both saying if we ever did run then at least a print of proof as to us being his was always there
I couldn't bare it.
A week later we escaped.
For good.
I wanted to scream and shout , I just wanted to cry , I wanted to feel something
A sob left my mouth but I wouldn't let anything more escape.
"Izzy you okay in there?" Emilio asked probably heating me and I didn't know what to reply
"Yep just fine" I said taking a deep breath looking at myself in the mirror putting a strong face on
"Okay we have something important to tell you after" he said and I sighed , what could it be now? I'm already at breakings point
I have one straw left once that's removed I am actually gonna go insane
"Okay I'll be quick" I said and quickly looked away from the mirror and getting in the shower
I get out the shower after 10 minutes, getting in the pyjamas quickly
I leave the room and see everyone sitting on the bed all seriously and I could tell this was gonna kill me inside I just knew it
I looked at summer for answers and she just shrugged letting me know she didn't know yet either
"Sit down" Alexander said and I looked at them all suspicious but I still sit down
"This better not ruin my night, today's already been shit" I said and adrain once again looked down at the floor guilty
"It's not that bad we just wanna know more about you and that's it" Jacob said and now I was even more suspicious of them and what their getting at
"Why?" I asked bluntly leaning forwards towards them
"can't say yet" Emilio said and now I was scared for what they might be hiding
"Go on but I won't answer everything" I said and they all nodded agreeing with my condition
"Do you know anything about your parents?" Killian shot a question right at me and I looked at him confused
"No I just know they gave me up by leaving me outside an orphanage but I didn't last there long the next year I was sent somewhere else" I explained with a curious look
They all have eachother looks
"How old were you?" Alexander then asked in a quick moment
"3 when abandoned" I said raising my eyebrows
"3?! Where were you sent the year after?" Adrain questioned me and that was one question I will be avoiding
"I'm not answering that" I said and they all looked at me suspiciously as to where it might have been and why I won't say
"Well then do you know your original last name?" Jacob asked and that made them all look at me intensely
"No but I know my last name probably started with k as the letter was signed 'isabellas mother ms. K'" I explained and at that everyone's eyes went wide
I still couldn't put it together what was going on?
I'm so lost.
"Why are you guys asking all this?!" Summer said getting annoyed because she hates not knowing things
"Were you left with a blanket or anything?" Killian asked me and I wondered how he knew but I answered anyways because I wanna know why there asking
"Yeah a pink blanket with my name in rose gold imprinted on it how'd ya know?" I asked back in confusion
"Just a guess" he shurgged and I looked at him confused as fuck but left it be for now
They all seemed shocked as fuck.
"O-okay that's all for now" Alexander stuttered out slightly
Okay then..
I looked at them all really suspicious of them now
"I'm going bed you weridos it's been along day" summer said and came over to me tackling me down onto the bed and saying goodnight and then walking of to Killians room
"Goodnight summer!" I yelled and then Killian also tried to say goodnight but Jacob shushed him knowing it was for the best
They know they messed up and I'm glad.
Everyone went bed and me and adrain were left alone in his bedroom once again
Adrain looked really guilty just staring at me from the couch
"Can I do something I'm bored and so not tired" I suddenly asked him snapping him out of his little trance of guilt
"Oh um yeah I got you a little something" he said and I looked at him confused as to what he might have got me
"Just a little something" he said and passed me a little box with a bow on it
It took me a second to realise it was airpods
"I could tell you struggled sleeping so I thought maybe you'd wanna try sleeping by falling to sleep with music it helped me" he explained as I examined the box in suprise
"Wow this is not a little something no one ever gets me anything this expensive, I'd deny it but considering you did make me faint I'll take it this once" I said in shock no one ever actually gets me something other than summer and myself
"Yeah I'm still so sorry and I know you won't forgive me but I'm trying to prove I'm sorry" adrain said with hope and I smiled at an idea
"You know What'd make me forgive you? Letting me go !" I tried my best to use it to my advantage
"That's the one thing I won't be doing I can't handle losing you and today made me realise that even more" he said and I rolled my eyes
"Your such a dick but whatevers it was worth a try" I said and he looked down doing an awkward smile
"How will I connect them to anything?" I asked and he looked like he already thought that through
"Connect them to my phone and you can put a playlist of your choice on it , I only am doing deals and that on my phone anyways" he explained his idea and I agreed I'm just happy I'll have something to at least listen too
I love music it is better than any therapy I'll ever get.
So he connects them and set them up for me and that night I actually felt like I wasn't alone in this hellish life
Other people were going through pain too and we're all just trying to survive
And I will be a survivor.
