Chapter 38: Isolation Day 5

Alone.

I didn't know how long it was since I was kidnapped, the morning and night always seemed to blend in since I mostly slept to pass time. Slept and cried. Every passing hour I was giving up more hope about Happy coming and rescuing me. If he loved me, couldn't he have found me by now? Happy was a man who could do lots, why couldn't he find me? Wasn't I more important than any run? It was silly to give up now when I knew he would kill for me back.

Yet, after the rocky months I was losing faith in my only family. Every small mistake seemed large now. If he was never with Katherine then I wouldn't have been used as revenge for her and Victor. If he bothered to tell me then I wouldn't have been where I was now; hiding in a corner of the dark basement all alone. It was cold too causing me to shiver ever so often as I waited for anyone, just anything to happen.

In truth I just wanted to get over this hell and into my haven. So if that meant sleeping and never waking up, I was okay with it.

Victor wasn't as nice as I remembered him to be. He was heartless with me. The girl, the older one who brought me food the first day, I learned was his daughter. My cousin and she detests me. Victor told me when his girlfriend was killed, she was pregnant and died at the hospital where little Kailey was born, a few weeks permature. It was horrible to hear, and even worst to know that he blamed my family and brainwashed his daughter in believing the same.

Kailey refused to be near me and it hurt more that she would not even look at me when she brought me food. My own family, on either side, was making my life a living hell. I felt pain for Kailey because I knew what it was like to grow up with no mother. Our lives were much more alike than she cared to realize. My mother was killed by her father and her mother was murdered by my father's gang. Our family was so screwed up and in the end, I blamed.

The only person who I knew didn't blame me was Happy and that's because the blame was all his. Happy's enemies were targeting me and I was fearful of my own life. Victor was family so I knew he wouldn't cross certain boundaries but what would stop others? Nothing. If Happy couldn't find me now and save me, how could he stop others from hurting me? I wished Happy was as strong as superman. If he was then he could come in and save me.

Why wasn't he here?

I rocked myself in the corner, tears falling creating more streaks on my face. I cried more now than any time in my life. I was so...so sad and I didn't understand why.

The door suddenly opened, a small frame of light conquering the darkness. I squinted a bit in pain. I had gotten used to the darkness already. There in the doorway stood Kailey. She looked down at me with such hatred I pressed myself further into the corner.

What had I done?

Slowly I stood up still leaning against the wall. She stalked to me and in a fury she slapped me hard across the face. My head snapped to the side and I was momentarily stunned. She actually had the nerve to slap me?

The side of my face was in pain, her nails managed to cut a bit into my skin.

"You...you and you're family." She spat the word out like venom. "nearly killed Katherine!"

Then she slapped me again. I was getting real sick of people thinking they could slap me and I would do nothing. Maybe that's how it was with Victor because he scared me but with Kailey, she was nothing.

I should have been feeling a bit guilty but I didn't. I was pleased. Katherine deserved it. Like the madman I was I cracked up. Not because I was truly insane but because Kailey was blaming the wrong person.

She glared at me as I spoke. "Me and my family? I've been here the whole time so it wasn't my fucking fault Kailey." She didn't like the way I spoke her name. "You wanna know who's fault it was?"

She scoffed, "Who's?"

I stepped closer to her so our faces were just inches apart. "Victor and Happy's."

She shoved me hard against my shoulders, pushing me back against the wall only this time I acted. I was tired of being a punching bag, tired of being afraid. Victor hit me enough, I was not going to let her do the same for I was not afraid her. She was nothing compared to Victor.

I grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her up against the wall this time, successfully switching our positions. I kept my forearm against her throat controlling her breathing. I applied pressure every time she fought until she stopped.

"I don't know what he's told you about me but it's not my fault." I hissed out, having to look up at her since she was a bit taller.

"Liar!" She yelled back.

I moved back allowing her to get her breathing back and putting a distance between us. "It's always been about you." She muttered, barely audible but I heard it. I stared down at her, confused as to why she would say this.

"What?"

Kailey looked up at me. "It's always been about getting revenge and hurting Happy. You've always been the target. He spoke of you so much and I always wondered why he hated you so much."

I laughed again surprised by her confession. "You jealous bitch." I huffed out.

She glared again. "What the fuck you just call me?"

"I called you a jealous bitch! You think I wanted his attention? He hurt my friends. He killed my mother. He took me away from my home! You thinking I fucking wanted that?" I was so...pissed right now.

"He's my father and all he does is care about killing you and Happy. He never once said he loved me. Do you know how that feels?" Kailey looked near tears and I stopped to think about what she told me.

No. I didn't know what that felt like. I knew a father's love. She didn't. She knew no parent love and I pitied her. "You've been so cold to me, isolated me, all because you were jealous. Do you know how that feels? Huh, do you? I second guessed my family all because of you...you and you're fucked up family!"

There it was said. We were both on different ends of the one family we shared. I sided with the one who killed her mother and she sided with the one that killed mine. This one fight caused a rift between us that ended any kind of bonding we could have had. Our father's made us enemies. Born enemies.

"We'll see who's family is more fucked up. Happy will never know where you're at. He'll never find you." She spat back, pushing me against the wall as she stalked out of the basement, shutting the door behind her and leaving me once again in the dark to my own thoughts.

I slid down the wall as her words sunk in.

I would be here for a very long time and he would never find me.

Damn this family...
