Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.
Chapter 5 - All This Shame, All This Guilt, All This Regret, That's Me
After showering, I sat on the end of his bed, brushing through my hair with my fingers. All i could think about was Oliver. It was like he had me in some sort of trance. He seemed to care so much for me, like an older brother i never had. And deep down, I wanted to get to know him more. I wanted us to be friends, if not more.
I watched him get in his car and leave. This was the first time I was home alone. Now was a brilliant time to escape. To run away, back to my home. I could see my family again. And all my friends. They must have missed me so much. I smiled to myself.
But wait. Which friends did i mean? The one's that didn't bother to show up whenever i wanted to see them? And the family was broken beyond my repair. A divorce, a disabled son and, of course, a suicidal daughter. There didn't seem much to go back to now.
Everything in me told me to stay here with Oliver, even though it was totally wrong. He cared for me like nobody else did. And in that moment i realized. Somehow, i was in love with my kidnapper.
Oli's POV
I came through the front door, loaded with alcohol and food. It was heavy, so i kept a fast pace at carrying it to the kitchen. Once i laid the bags down on the kitchen floor, I stepped back and lent on the fridge.
"Hey."
I jumped. She had found me. I turned around and saw SJ laying on my black sofa, with a bottle of whisky in her hand. "How the hell did you get in here?" I asked her nervously.
"Oh, there's always a way in darling." She snickered.
"SJ, I think you should leave." I said harshly to her, walking over to her side.
"Time to leave? But I just got comfy!" She mocked me and i could feel the redness on my cheeks. "Why though? Are you afraid that I'm going to hurt your little girl?" She stood up and headed for the door.
"SJ! I would kill you right now!" I shouted furiously.
"Why though? I'm not the one that needs to die... Am I?" She teased and grabbed my arm.
I grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall. She had gone too far this time. "Just let her live! One girl! Can't you spare one girl's life?" I shouted at her, tightening my grip as i waited for a response.
She paused and glanced over my shoulder and began smiling. I turned my head to see what she was looking at.
"Oliver?" Stuttered Rain, tears pouring down her face.
I let go of SJ, watching her fall to her knees, taking heavy breaths. She stood up and walked over to Rain.
"Do you know what your living with?" SJ asked her, grabbing her by the hair. "A careless bastard! He'll kill you later, when he see's your not really worth it anymore." She shouted before pulling Rain to the ground and dragging her.
"Enough!" I shouted, yanking SJ off her. "Get the fuck out." I yelled whilst slamming her towards the door. When i finally got her to the door frame, she leaned forward to me.
"Oliver." She whispered in my ear. "This Bitch isn't worth it." My hand held tight onto the bottle of whiskey she handed me seconds ago. And with that she glanced back at Rain, who was still in a mess on the floor, and kissed me. She held my face tightly and puckered her lips into me.
I shook her off and slammed the door, wiping my mouth of her lipstick. Silence crashed into my ears. I could hear Rain behind me. She had gone completely quiet. She could have stopped breathing it was so silent.
"Rain?" I whispered, walking over to her and lifting her up.
She dragged herself from the floor and grabbed the whiskey from my hand before pushing me away from her. She stood in silence with her back to me for a good few seconds.
"It's nice to see you care about other girls too." She said gloomily.
"No. Rain. You don't understand. She's my ex." I grunted, reaching for Rain's shoulder.
"Well, I don't want to be part of your fucking collection. I'm leaving." She said, before opening up the door and stepping out onto the cold hard stone path. "I'm going home to my family."
