Ok, so I feel as though I owe you guys an explanation as to why I haven't been updating as frequently. So, for starters, I've been having trouble writing due to a little writer's block. Every so often I get a really great idea, but it always takes a little while to really put it into words. Also, and I'm very serious about this one, I received a really serious injury. It's taking a lot out of me. If you want to know more about it, just ask because I'm happy to tell. But for now, let's just get back to the story.

First of all, we've gained some new members of the broken family! Actually, we've got quite a few members. New favorites include ReyReyWayWay and 91. Thanks for favoriting! Also, as for followers, WE JUST HIT 15! I'm so so so excited about this. I got some reviews, about 5 now. I got two for calwitch. I plan to get a ton out for you, cal! Also, one of our newest family members, 91, left a review yesterday. Also, fear not wolfgirl2013 and sebastianm101, I've got more coming.

Here we go. I hope that you guys love it!

"It wasn't supposed to be this way, you know," Colby whispered as he rubbed Lexi's right foot. Lexi stayed completely still, not showing him any emotion. She dragged her bound legs up the bed, returning to the fetal position. Colby sighed in a sorrowful manner. "This shouldn't be a monologue. This should not a damn lecture, sweetheart."

Colby positioned himself on the bed, parallel from her. He sat with his legs crossed, staring deep into her eyes. She tried to avoid his gaze, nervous to make any moment. "I love you. I've loved you since the moment I saw you. Every time I saw you, I knew you were special to me. I knew that you were different from all the other girls in my life. You were so perfect from the second my eyes caught a glimpse of you."

Lexi shut her eyes tightly for a few seconds, inhaling as he spoke to her. She opened her eyes, glimpsing towards Colby, who smiled at her before she turned her eyes away again. Colby continued, "After the Shield broke up, I know how bad you were affected. We were your family, and we ended up broken like your real one. I always felt awful afterwards, and I thought that you'd never talk to me. But you did. You didn't give up on me. It was that moment that I knew that you were meant to be with me."

The tension in the room was a thick as pea soup. Lexi's chest was tight as she listened to his words, growing more and more scared. She didn't trust him to be so close to her; he was off his rocker and a threat to her. There was so much more to come for her.

"All those things really made me love you, but that's not why you're here," Colby said while leaning closer to her. Lexi turned and looked down at her knees, trying to avoid his face completely. "It was the day I saw you flirting with him." Lexi grew worried, unsure what he was talking about. "You don't need another man. You have me, but you didn't realize that yet. I tried to convince you to stay with me. No, you always said. So I had to make another plan."

"You see," he continued on with a sigh, "I had a pretty rough life. My house was broken, too. My parents tried to fix it, but we all know that would never help. I would go to women that I thought could make me happy, and they did. Then you came along, and I really knew what happiness was. You fixed all the problems. You made the demons go away. You gave a family again. A real one. One that wasn't broken. Then, you broke it just as much as I did. But, that's okay. I thought of this. This is it!"

Colby suddenly got on all fours, slowly approaching Lexi. He placed his fingers under her chin, making her gaze meet his. He situated himself in front of her. Tears began to fall down slowly as he spoke again. "Now, we can be together forever. I feel like we'll be happy now. I'll never let anybody hurt you."

He slowly began to kiss up and down her neck, sending chills down her spine. She cried harder, whimpering as Colby began to kiss her nose. He gripped her face in his hands, pressing his lips all over her face. She threw her body backwards, trying to get away. He capitalized, though, moving with her body and continued to kiss her. Desperate at this point to get away, she began to thrash her body.

"Don't make me hurt you to get what I want," he sternly said to her as she cried on. "I still have so much that I wanted to talk to you about. Don't blow your chances at getting that gag off, got it? I don't care if it says on, but I'm sure you do." She continued to buck up and down. Colby sat up, driving his fast into the pillow directly next to her. She stopped dead in her tracks, afraid of the man she had just seen before her. He sighed loudly, pulling his hand through his hair before getting off the bed. He headed towards the door.

"Mpppphy, mphlmph mmmmnt mmmmmphmeme mem," she shouted. He only turned back to her for a second before opening and closing the door, locking it. She had no way of getting out. No way to cut herself loose for he had removed all the sharp objects in her room.

There was no light, no sound, and nobody. All Lexi had was her mind and her thought. What good would her mind do her now? She tied up and gagged in an unknown locked room. There was no way to make outside communication. There was food or water available to her without the help of Colby.

At this point, she wanted nothing to do with him. She thought of all he had said, internalizing every single word. Did she really hurt him that bad? Did she give him all he said she did? She never meant to cause him pain but she didn't know he was obsessed with her. Maybe he was just lonely. Maybe he was just a little lost.

Now, she didn't feel like a victim anymore. She felt like a bully. She felt like the kidnapper. She felt like she was at fault.

What questions do you have that you want answered? What do you want to know? What do you think is coming soon?
