I'm back! I'm so sorry I took so long to update but my computer broke. I've been writing the entire time though. My computers still broken but I'm using a different one. I'll keep updating when I can because my parents aren't buying me another one :( I'll talk more at the end but: On with the story!
Disclaimer: I own The Nine Lives Of Chloe King as much as I own a working computer so no.
Chloe POV
As I slowly wake up I'm hit with waves of pain. I use all my strength to pull my phone out, and call the first contact I find not even looking at the name. "Chloe!" I hear. "Help...please..."I force out. "Where are you?! Are you ok?! What's going on?!" is shouted frantically on the other line. "Old...Pepsi...warehouse...hurry..." I say. " I'm on my way Chlo! Just hang on a little longer! Please Chlo! Stay with me!" I hear the other person beg. As I drop my phone in my growing pool of blood, the door bangs open and someone runs over to me, their face blurred. I feel myself being lifted up the movement jostles my leg."ughhhhh" I moan. As I begin to slip into the blissful, painless darkness I hear "No!Chloe!"
When I wake up I'm more comfortable than I've been since the beatings with Brian have started, which has been months. I try to curl up in a more comfortable position, I find an IV in my arm. When I move to take it out, I hear " Don't it's the only thing keeping the pain at bay" I look up and see Alek said it. "What...What happended?" I ask, finding my voice. " You tell me" he replies, trying to hide his anger. I look at him in confusion. " First you leave without protection for the day, then you call me half dead, and then when Jasmine goes to stitch up your leg" I look down and see I'm in shorts and a tanktop with my leg heavily bandaged. " You're covered with cuts and bruises. And some of them can not be from tonight. So I ask you again. What happened. A few months ago your a nice, happy, good person then all of a sudden you start wearing baggy clothes and seem more closed off. Amy and Paul abandond you because they thought you were depressing." I cringe because that was a really hard time, and I was going to kill myself, however many times it took. But then Alek and Jasmine started hanging around more and filled the holes Amy and Paul made. "Chloe." I hear Alek say low as if he was trying not to yell. I look up at him already forming a lie in my mind. I hated lieing to him and everyone but I had to. " I got attacked by the Order." I wasn't exactly lieing, just not telling the whole truth. " Chloe, tell me the truth. Do you seriously expect me to believe that the Order has been attacking you for weeks without us knowing?" He yells coming closer. I cringe, closing my eyes bracing for the impact to come. When it doesn't I slowly open my eyes, I look up to see him looking at me with a confused expression on his face. " Chloe...What happend to you?" he ask's softly and very slowly starts to come over I get a flashback of a few weeks ago.
FLASHBACK
"Chloe...I'm so sorry for what I've done to you. It was my father he made me do it. Will you please forgive me?" Brian ask's looking scincer. I quickly nod my head yes and smile,hoping I'm finally free of the abuse. But I never was, it was just a ploy to get me to trust him, just so he could beat me again, harded than ever before. I had to take take a few days off of school after that time.
FLASHBACK OVER
This could be a ploy." No!" I yell, scared for my life. "No! Please No! No!" I cry. Jas burt's through the door "Alek, Get out" She says with exaggerated patience. " But...I..." Alek stutters. " Out!" she says with a look that said: or I kill you here and now. Alek leaves quickly. "Thanks." I whisper. " Chloe please tell me what happend. I saw all the bruises..." she says quietly while sitting on the bed. " I can't tell you... I'll get in trouble." I say with tears brimming my eyes. " you won't get in trouble here, I promise you." she replies softly. "really?" I ask with hope in my voice. "Really." She answers. I take a deep breath. Ok, I can tell her. "Brian...Brian...Brian abuses me" I say so quietly only she can hear it. Her face changes to shock. "Why didn't you tell us Chloe?" she ask's. "Because he wouldn't hurt just me, he would hurt other people I cared about if I told" I explain. "Jas?" "Yeah?" "I think..." I break out in sobs "I think her finally broke me" I sob out. She rushes over and holds me as I cry.
After crying my eyes out I'm extremely tired. But I still have the energy to say on last thing. "Tell Alek I'm sorry" I yawn out, then drift off into the land of dreams. Dreams of kissing Alek, hanging out with Amy, Paul, Alek & Jasmine. Dreams of no Brian.
Sorry the chapter is short, my grandma is gonna be home soon and I'm supposed to be grounded.:O ok please tell me how I can improve! R&R I know Chloe doesnt fight back much but she will! I promise! *holds up right hand*
Smile at your haters- Nikki
