The Academy

“Ughhh.” I groaned, rolling over.

The pain was luckily now almost all gone except for my back, it was burning like a mofo.

I looked around and realized that I was in the same room as last night, except I had been put on a mattress in the corner of the room.

I slowly got up, and realized that there was a note on the main door.


Bella,
Feel free to come upstairs and get breakfast. There’s stuff in the fridge and cupboards.


Signed by no one, of course.

I carefully walked up the stairs, and quickly made my way to the kitchen.

Thankfully I hadn’t run into anyone so far.

I went straight to the freezer and tried to find ice.

They honestly had everything in the freezer except ice, including weird ass vegan shit.

Yes, that was talking about Brandon.

I found some pancake batter in the fridge, and I decide to cook 2 up. I made them, and sat down at the table and started to eat.

“Good morning.” Thrasher cheered.

Not anymore.

I grabbed the plate, threw the pancakes out, and finally put the dishes in the dishwasher.

“Bella.” Thrasher called to me as I started to walk away, and in the direction of Asking’s room.

I’d been in there countless times before when I was here with everyone else, including Chance.

I walked past one of the living rooms and my heart dropped as I heard James’ voice.

“Bella, come here.” James called.

I sighed, I didn’t need another dose of last night.

I took a deep breath, and walked into the room.

James was there and his company kind of threw me off. Tino Arteaga, Rian Dawson, Tony Perry, Jack Fowler, and Jinxx.

“Come and sit down.” James stated, patting a spot on the couch next to him.

“Sorry in case you forgot last night I was whipped, my back bled, and is now cut up. Sitting up against fabric doesn’t sound like the best idea.” I told him.

“Hi, I’m assuming you know who I am.” Jack said.

“Yeah another idol that crushed my every hope and dream. Don’t worry about it though, I’m pretty used to it. At least you haven’t raped me or whipped me.” I said in a very calm voice.

Wow, that shut them up.

Maybe I need to guilt trip them up a bit more.

Their faces were priceless.

“Are you feeling better?” Tony asked me.

“You have got to be kidding me.” I groaned, and put my head in my hands, and sat down a few feet away from the couch James was on.

I collected my thoughts, and just let my mind sort my thoughts out as best as possible. Something caught my eye, a little shimmering reflection in front of my eyes.

It was Chance’s ring.

That’s when I fucking lost my grip on everything.

I curled up into an even tighter ball, and cried my eyes out.

I couldn’t take it anymore.

I wanted my mom, I wanted Chance, I wanted my freedom.

This pain needed to end.

It was going to kill me.

“Love, you’re fine. It’s okay.” James whispered, coming over and attempting to give me a hug without hurting me and my back.

I kept crying and before I knew it James had carefully lifted me up and brought me to a random bedroom. I didn’t recognize it.

“Please don’t.” I whimpered.

“No one’s going to hurt you sweetie, you’re fine.” James attempted to calm me down.

“Leave me alone.” I whispered.

“Are you sure?” He asked.

I nodded my head, and to my relief he left the room, and shut the door behind him.

Hours later Ricky walked into the room.

I tensed up, and curled up into a tighter ball.

“Want to talk?” He asked.

“Please just leave me alone.” I said nicely.

“Sorry sweetie, but no can do. We want to make sure you’re safe.” Ricky told me.

Even more hours passed, and they had been filled with Ricky constantly trying to get me to talk, but I just sat there in my little ball of depression.

“Please Bella, at least just tell me what you want.” He pleaded with me, obviously desperate.

“I want to go home.” I answered him in a monotone voice.

“Bella, you know that can’t happen.” Ricky replied with a straight face.

“Fine then put a knife in my chest, or put a bullet in my brain because I can’t take this. No pain will ever begin to compare to the pain I’m in now.” I whispered.

He sat back, shocked and stunned at what I had said.

Those words struck another emotional string deep down inside of me, and once again I began to break down.

“You’re strong, Bella. Keep fighting.” My mother said in my head.

“I’m so sorry mom, I let you down.” I cried.

I cried so long and hard it was a miracle I hadn’t drowned in my own tears.

It felt good to finally let go.

Notes

The end is in sight my friends. There are only 3 more chapters and The Academy will done. Then I'll post the sequel's 1st chapter. When I post that I'll also post an epilogue like thing in a person's POV that will become kind of a common thing. It'll put a nice touch on the ending. Sorry if that seems confusing, it will all make sense, don't worry.

Daily Question : Are any of you guys from out of the US, if so what countries?

I'm from Wisconsin, and that's beyond unexciting.
