After the two assholes left, I decided to sit next to Amanda, who was hugging her legs, and looking sternly at the floor.
“Um, are you okay?” I asked softly.
“I guess…” she shrugged.
I frowned, “what do you mean? What did Brian do this time?” I asked, but she just shook her head. “c’mon, Amanda. Why won’t you tell me?” she sighed and closed her eyes. “Pretty please?” I said in a childish voice, making her chuckle a little.
“I just…I’m gonna explain it to you in simple words, okay?” I raised an eyebrow,
“okay…”
“We had sex.” She said simply.
“Well, yeah, I kind of was expecting that, but- ohh… okay, I get it now.” I said as realization hit me, and I remembered vengeance saying she was having more fun than Brian this time. “You dirty little whore.” I smirked, and poked her ribs making her chuckle again.
“Oh god, what’s going on with me?! I can’t believe this! I don’t know if I should feel good or bad. This is so fucking…confusing” she told me sighing in despair, and hiding her face with her hands.
“Well, if it makes you feel better, I made out with vengeance just before you two appeared.” She then looked at me with big, shocked eyes.
“You what?!”
“Just what you heard.”
“Oh my god, are you fucking serious?! But how, I mean, why, I mean…explain, little lady!” I sighed and explained to her what had happened with zacky. She just gaped.
“Say something!” I finally said after a few seconds of her watching me like that.
“I just…I don’t know what to say.”
“Oh, god…” it was me who hid her face in her hands this time.
“So what are you gonna do now? Oh you should just try to sneak out sometime and go see him.” She said wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
“Yeah, like if it were that easy to get out of here. Remember all it took last time we tried? And all of it just for Lisa to get killed.” I reminded her and she sighed in defeat.
“So you’re just gonna sit here and let it go that easily?” she asked.
“Like if I had a choice...”
“Oh, c’mon! You just don’t want to try. We almost escaped last time because we wanted to; because we were willing to do it. Now you’re just…not trying”
“well maybe I don’t want to try. Maybe I don’t wanna have anything with that…asshole.” I replied annoyed, and looked away.
“Wow, what happened? I-I actually thought you were like happy or whatever.”
“Well I’m not.”
“Want to tell me what happened?” she asked sweetly.
“When you appeared he just broke the kiss and pushed me away, making me fall to the floor. And then he just left. Maybe I’m being all drama queen, but that just made me feel like he actually didn’t mean what he said. I can’t help thinking he just used me.”
“But remember you were the one who kissed him.” she has a point there.
“I guess you’re right…I just- I don’t even know why I’m feeling like this towards vengeance.” I said and shivered to explain my point. Amanda just snickered.
“Have you thought that maybe he did it because he didn’t want any of them to find out?” she said.
“Why would that matter? I mean, would it really be that bad?”
“Well, I don’t think any of them would take it so well. Especially Matt.”
“Matt? What’s shadows, like their boss or something?”
“Judging by the way he acts towards them and the way the others respond, I would say he kind of is.” She said, and I just sighed. “I don’t know, I just think you should try to make a move.” She told me.
“Okay, I’ll do my best, then.” I told her.

Next morning I was woken up by receiving a lovely kick in the ribs provided by shadows. Uh-oh. This meant no good at all. I looked up at him, and he gave me a sick smile. I couldn’t look his eyes since he was wearing his aviators.
“Good morning, sunshine!” I didn’t answer back, but decided to look for Amanda instead. She wasn’t there. “Little Amanda is outside waiting for you, sleepy head.” Someone’s in a happy mood today…or maybe more sarcastic than ever. Shadows crouched next to me, and decided to make me get up by pulling my hair. I groaned in pain, and stood up as quickly as possible. He dragged me outside, where it was starting to rain, and fucking freezing. Amanda stood there with Johnny holding her arms. Brian was next to them, then jimmy, and last I saw was zacky.
“So we decided to be kind to you, and give you both a bath cause well, you need one. Jimmy, go get the hose and stuff ready.” Shadows ordered, and jimmy moved from his place. “Vengeance!” he called and zacky snapped his head our way. “Undress her, I’ll go help jimmy. Oh and gates, undress Amanda.” He said and left. I made eye contact with zacky as he began to unbutton my pants, quite roughly I must add.
“w-why so m-mad, zacky?” I stuttered thanks to the cold, but kept my cool nonetheless. “Why did you kiss me last night?” he said through gritted teeth.
I shrugged, and smirked. “Just wanted to test the waters. You know, just add fuel to the fire.” He took off my shirt. Fuck, it was cold in here! I was finally left on my underwear when jimmy and matt appeared. Zacky just gave me a glare, turned me around and pushed me towards shadows. I almost fell, but managed not to. Shadows took my arm strongly, to the point it began to hurt, and jimmy took Amanda. I looked at her and she made a face of disgust. I didn’t really know if it was because of what they were gonna do to us, or if it was because jimmy was touching her.

We went behind the house, and shadows tied me to the wall, while jimmy did the same with Amanda. They took a hose each, and soaked us with freezing cold water. I gasped when the water touched my skin, and after a few seconds, my hands and feet began to hurt, and the rest of my body began to shiver again. I looked at Amanda, she was shaking as well. After another couple of sprays with the hose they were done.
Johnny and motherfucker were gone, and zacky was just standing there looking at the floor. Jimmy untied Amanda, and he and shadows left with her into the house. I couldn’t stop shivering, and I couldn’t feel my toes anymore. I heard steps and looked up to find zacky getting closer. He stopped right in front of me, giving me a blank expression. I hated when he looked at me like that cause I couldn’t know what he was thinking.
“S-stop looking at m-me l-like that.” I stuttered. He just sighed and untied me. My knees gave away, and I ended on the floor. I hugged myself, and then felt something soft over my shoulders; it was zacky’s hoodie. He crouched in front of me, and put his hand on my arms rubbing them trying to make some friction to warm me up. I finally looked up at him, and tried to smile which was kind of impossible since my lips were fucking frozen.
He then stopped rubbing, and gave me a serious stare again. Why do you have to look at me that way? Don’t you get I hate it?
He began to approach, until our faces were close enough to feel his breath on my lips. Just do it already! He finally closed the gap, and kissed me. His lips were warm and soft, just what I needed. Our lips began to move in sync, and we both got caught up in the moment, just like last night.
“Well, well, well, what do we have in here?” I snapped my eyes open, and my mouth froze as I heard that voice; zacky was looking at me the same way. Shit…
“Oh, but if it’s the lovely couple! What a nice surprise.” I gulped as I slowly turned my head to look at Matt standing there with his arms across his chest, just looking at us with a not so pleased expression. This is just what I needed. Now I’m seriously screwed.
