A/N- I would like to warn you. There will be some violence in this chapter. Much more than in the other's.
Beca's POV
My head's pounding as I work hard to open my eyes. I get bad headaches from reading, but never like this. This is like a migraine times 100. The last thing I remember is seeing Chloe's car, but opening the door to Jesse and Aubrey. Something swinging towards me, pain erupting on the side of my head and then darkness. I try to reach my head but for some reason, my arm won't move. I force my eyes open and whimper when I see my hands tied behind my back.
I can hear perfectly out of my left ear but for some reason, noise is muffled in my right. I feel something crusty on my ear and when I rub it on my shoulder, pain shoots through it. I bite back a scream at the loud, painful ringing in my right ear. I spot Aubrey looking at me sadly, but she quickly leaves, taking all of my hope with her.
"You're finally up,"a voice says and I turn to see Jesse smiling at me.
"What...where am I?"I croak, my voice scratchy.
"I brought you to a remote cabin. No one can hear you so don't even try to scream." He gently caresses my cheek before slapping it, my head whipping to the right, making my ear hurt even worse.
"Why am I here?" I glare at him and he gets all serious, scaring me.
"You're here so that I can talk some sense into you. I need you to stay away from Chloe. It's my job to protect her and I know that you're not a good person." I laugh.
"I'm not a good person? At least I don't kidnap people." He slaps me again and I just laugh.
"Really? I live with pain everyday so if you think that you can break me, you're wrong." He grabs the front of my shirt and slams me up against the wall, cracking the chair and maybe a rib.
"That was just a little taste of what I'm going to do to you until you promise to break up with my sister and never talk to her again."
"I'll just go to the police." He raises an eyebrow and grins.
"And who's going to believe you? You're just a bad girl who always gets detention at school. Chloe might believe you, but I'm her brother. She will always..always believe me over you." He drops me, the legs of the chair groaning under all the stress that's being put on it. Jesse walks over to a small table in the corner and carries it toward me. It has a bunch of your everyday tools on it and if he's going to do what I think he is with them, then I won't ever be able to look one again.
"When Nathan died, he left me to be the one to protect Chloe. I didn't do a good job of it at first, but after I met you, I knew that I had to step up. I couldn't just watch Chloe ruin her life. I tried to warn her but when that didn't work, I knew that this was the only way."
"Jesse, I know that you feel that way but it's not. We can talk this through."
"No,"he screams, spitting all over my face. "This is the only way. I really don't want to do it but if you can't leave Chloe alone, then I have to. I'm so sorry." With that, he grabs a small pocket knife and slices my cheek.
"If you think that you can make me leave Chloe alone, then you're wrong. I love her and will never leave her." Jesse growls, an inhuman sound and stabs the knife into my leg, making me scream. He shuts me up with a punch.
"You're making me do this Beca. Remember that." Jesse grabs a hammer and unties one of my hands. He forces my left hand on the table and slams the hammer down onto one of my fingers. I scream as he does this to each of them, pausing in between to see if I changed my mind. I never do. Frustrated, he ties my hand back to the chair, making me scream out in pain again.
"How about now?"He screams at me, his eyes containing a wild look in them. I shake my head and he punches me, splitting my lip. He grabs a wrench and slams it against my right ear, making me scream so loud that I eventually lose my voice. We go at this for hours before he sags in defeat. I cry, my ear pounding and it scares me when I can't hear anything out of it.
"I guess it's time." He stands up and grabs a metal rod. "This really was a last resort and I don't want to have to do it, but you're leaving me no choice. He puts on a pair of gloves and grabs a blowtorch, lighting it under the metal rod, making it red. When he starts lowering it toward me, I cry and shake my head.
"Tell me that you'll leave Chloe alone." I shake my head and he lifts my shirt, setting the hot metal rod on it. My skin starts burning and I scream as loud as I can. The pain becomes too much and I silently apologize to Chloe.
"Okay,"I scream, my voice almost a whisper now. "I'll do it." Jesse grins and sets it down.
"You have to do everything I say." I nod and he unties me, pulling me into a standing position but I'm too weak and collapse. "I want you to go into the car." I nod and we shuffle out of the cabin. It's dark now and I can barely see Aubrey. She looks like she has tears tracks on her face, but I don't look at her long enough to tell. Jesse shoves me into the driver's seat and Aubrey gets into a different car.
"Now, I want you to drive exactly where I tell you." I start the car and follow Jesse's directions. I shake so much from the pain and fear. "Stop here." I do and Jesse gets out.
"I want you to drive as fast as you can into that tree. If you do anything else, I will kill you and it won't be quick." I nod and debate driving away before remembering how much pain he put me in. I start the car and take a shaky breath before driving into the tree going 35.
The impact causes my airbag to shoot out and hit my face, almost knocking me out. Jesse walks over and starts to adjust me somewhat, probably to make it look like my injuries were from the crash. I don't think that he thought about the burn marks on my stomach because he walks away and into Aubrey's car. They drive away and I stay still, watching the smoke coming from the hood until I hear sirens in the distance. I hear footsteps and a policeman shines a light into my face.
"Are you Beca Mitchell?" I nod and he sighs, "We'll let you get checked out by the paramedic before we take you in." I frown and he sighs again, this time opening my door. "You're under arrest for the robbery of Jesse Beale's car."
