CHAPTER 49

  Ella’s POV

  I’m stuck on the roof with that man.

  I was on the ground, bleeding and whimpering in pain, while he looks down on me with disgust and repulsion.

  “Are you still waiting for someone to come save you, little girl?” he asks in a mocking tone.

  I look at him in hatred and keep my mouth shut.

  Someone will come, someone will save me.

  He crouches and leans closer to my face as he whispers with a smile “No one cares about you Ella. Do you want me to prove it to you? Let’s stay here until the sun comes down. That is a solid thirty minutes. No one will come through those doors. Not even if we stay all night”

  I grit my teeth and try to grab him, but he stands up and backs away from me.

  He leans against the cement structure, by the door, with his hands in his pocket as he whistles an annoying tone.

  I stay huddled on the ground repeating to myself over and over. someone will come, someone will save me.

  Darkness ascends and nothing happens, no one comes.
