Jackpot

I must find a way to get out of here before Skyler does something to Alissa's brother.

I started to look for things to help me get out once again.

I looked everywhere to find a way out when my sight reached the chain.

!!?

One of the parts of the chain was a little broken.

if I hit it hard enough a couple of times with a hard object, it might break open.

But the problem was that there was no hard object within my reach. I tried to break it with my hands, but it was of no use.

Just when I was going to lose hope Skyler walked in, he was holding a tray with the usual food he used to bring.

The tray in his hand. It should have something I could use.

I just have to stand up at the right moment…

Right when Skyler was about to bend down to put the tray, I got up.

My head crashed with the tray he was holding and made him unbalance, making the tray fall down and everything which was on the tray scatter.

Jackpot!

Skyler was also unbalanced, and the chain tangled with my foot which also made me unbalanced.

As a result, I fell on top of Skyler along with the food which was in the tray.

"Ugh my head...ouch..."

I scratched my head as I looked down.

Shit…

Skyler looked furious; I kid you not I could see the fire coming out from behind him. Guess it was one of those bad mood days .

*whack*

He hit me on my face so hard that it made my head spin a little.

"DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH? WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING"?

Ok he is angry I have to do something.

I looked at the side of my foot, there was a fork next to it!

great! Now I just had to distract Skyler and hide the fork.

I looked at Skyler trying to look as seductive as I could.

"I just wanted to do you first".

I said this as I grabbed the fork with my left foot and used the other foot to put the fork under my pant leg.

Skyler looked at me, his expression not changing.

Please just fall for it.

He then changed his expression to a sweet smile.

It worked?

By now I had slid the fork fully in my pant leg.

"Alex…who do you think you are".

Shit…

He grabbed my neck and pinned me against the wall.

"You don't disrespect me and act seductive now do you?"

His tone of speaking went low as he clenched his grip tighter.

how is he so strong,

"Skyler I'm sorry, I can't breathe!!"

His nail pierced through my skin.

"Ugh!! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'll clean it!" I said as I preached in pain.

He clenched me for about a minute straight.

Im-im losing consciousness.

After a minute he let go of me and threw me to the side.

"This is the last time I'm leaving you. I am taking care of you as if you're a child and you're misbehaving as if you really are one. You're really acting like a scrawny dog!" he said furiously as he went out, slamming the door behind him.

I gasped for air the moment he walked out. It truly felt like I was going to die.

"at-at least it worked"

I gathered all the utensils which were scattered in front of me, so that when Skyler come back, he would just take the things I gather, and hopefully not notice the missing fork.

Skyler did come back eventually to get the utensils. He took the utensils and walked back, it seemed like he didn't notice the fork missing. I felt relieved at the thought.

But he almost immediately came back as he went out.

Did-did he notice…what do I do!!

He walked towards me and sat down in front of me and pulled out an ointment from his pocket.

"Turn around" he ordered me. I did as he said and turned around.

He then proceeded to put the ointment on the wounds he just gave me.

yep the personality disorders again.

Skyler was touching me lightly.

His touch still felt very hot like the first time he touched me.

When was the last time he touched me this gently? Was it back on the cliff? Probably was.

I wished the fact that he was a murderer would just vanish and we both could go back to how we used to be .

flashbacks of the times Skyler and I spent our times together before all this came to my mind.

I genuinely had feelings for this guy, I was feeling myself falling in love with him in those moments. But now…what now? I cant feel anything for him.

I turned around to see his face, his face was so relaxed, so beautiful, shinning behind him was the moonlight which added to the beauty on his face.

*badump*

Wait no. he is not the same guy I liked; he is not the guy who I wanted to be with. The Skyler I liked is long dead now.

All the realities made their way inside my head again, but the fact that my heart still skips a beat when I look at Skyler, was nothing but a fact. Still, I convinced myself it was nothing and that i was just scared of him.

(All this will be over soon when I'll stop meeting him. I just need to get rid of this chain and stay away from him, after that I'll just remember Skyler as a bad memory.)

(I can save Alissa's brother, and maybe work things out with her too.)

I put all types of thoughts in my head to distract myself.

When I felt a sharp pain on my neck.

"Ouch!" my voice came out as Skyler put the ointment to the area where his nails left a wound.

"I'm sorry". His voice trembled as he said that.

I felt something fall on my back.

Skyler was resting his head on my back, he looked like he was really hurting.

"I'm not a bad guy" he said in a trembling voice.

He then looked up; his face was so close to mine.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of his long lashed and hazel eyes. And it looked like neither could he.

We looked at each other for some time. In the end, I was the one to break the eye contact.

This is no good.

I just turned my face to the front again. I didn't turn around but I felt Skyler getting up from his spot and leaving.

I felt a sharp pain in my chest as I heard his foot steps getting lighter.

(why...why does it hurt so much...)
