Change My Ways

Elody’s POV Three weeks. Three weeks have passed since I told everyone I was pregnant. Three weeks have passed, since I last saw Brian. These past three weeks have been Hell. After telling Brian, he told me he just couldn’t handle it, it was too much at once for him. He called the day after they left to go back on tour, but we haven’t spoken since. I know it’s a lot to throw on someone, but I can’t help it. I don’t know where we sit right now. Just when things were going good for us, this had to happen. I might have actually stood a chance of becoming his girlfriend, but chances seem slim now. The phone rings, and I rush to get it, thinking it could be Brian. I look at the screen, it’s an unknown number calling, so I decide not to answer it. I lay the phone back on the counter, and make my way back to the living room. I rub my tummy, praying that everything is going okay in there. I went to the doctor last week, and everything was fine, but I know all of this stress cannot be good on the baby. I sit on the couch, and flip on the television. A knock at the door, brings me to my feet, once again. I walk over, and look out the peep hole. I don’t see anyone, so I walk back toward the living room. Just as I’m ready to sit down again, I hear the sliding door in the kitchen shut. I look over, and see someone dressed in black making their way toward me. I scream, and try to make a run for the front door, but whoever it is is too fast, and catches me, before I can escape. I try to scream, but it’s too late. -- I wake up sometime later, wondering where I am. My hands are attached to chains, hanging from the ceiling; my feet are barely touching the ground. I’m in pain. I look down, noticing that I’ve been stripped of all of my clothing, except for my bra and underwear. I notice that there is a large cut across my stomach, that someone half-ass tried to stich up. I cry out in pain, and sadness, knowing that my baby is most likely gone. “What are you screaming for?” I hear someone walking down some stairs. I look over, and notice Henry coming toward me. I start to cry even harder, upon seeing him, because I know it can’t be a good sign. “Where am I? Why am I here?” I ask him, between sobs. “You were always so dramatic… You know that?” He laughs. “Liam told me about all about what happened. How you begged him to stop the last time you guys fucked. He told me how it made him want you all the more.” “W-what?” “Don’t act stupid, Elody. That night we went out for drinks on Liam’s birthday, you kept saying you had to be home at a decent time, that you didn’t want your friend to worry about you. But yet, you kept downing every drink that we gave you, like your life depended on it.” “You drugged me!” “Do not raise your voice at me!” He steps forward, and slaps me hard across my cheek. “You wanted everything that we gave you that night. You begged us to take you in the back of that truck.” “How could I possibly have any idea what was going on? You guys drugged me. You raped me.” I cry. “What did you to me, Henry? What did you do to my baby?” “Oh the kid? Yeah, you don’t need a kid. I took care of it for you. You’re welcome.” “No!” “I can’t believe you thought you’d have that kid, and never let Liam know about it. He’s going to be pissed, when I tell him.” “I would’ve told him!” “When?! When you visit him in prison? Yeah, right! You think I’m stupid, Elody?” “No… Please don’t hurt me anymore. Please let me go. You’ve done enough. You took my baby…” “You don’t deserve to have a kid, you ungrateful bitch!” He slaps me again. “I could make it, so you’ll never have any kids again…” “Please don’t…” “That’s right, baby. Beg. Beg for me.” He smirks at me, and I spit on him. “You fucking bitch!” He slaps me again. “Please… You don’t have to do this…” He steps forward, and rips my underwear off of me. He then proceeds to unbuckle his belt, and take it off. “I do have to do this, Elody. I have to teach you a lesson. I have to put you in your place.” He holds the belt, so that the metal end hangs down. He walks behind me, and it’s silent for a few seconds. I hear the sound, before I feel the pain. The metal end of the belt feels like it’s splitting my skin in two, every time it hits. I’m almost ready to pass out from the pain, when he stops hitting me. He walks around in front of me, again, and grins at me. “I bet you liked that.” He says. “Since you did so well, you get a reward now.” He unzips his pants, and lets them fall to the ground, along with his boxers. “No no no no… please don’t…” I sob uncontrollably. “You’re going to enjoy this, don’t worry.” He slams into me, and I scream out in pain, again. I feel the darkness caving in on me, and suddenly I’m gone.
