So I just want to make sure you guys are not confused in this chapter, so I wanted to let you know. From chapter 3, this is still the same day/night so when Talia wakes up it is around 10:00 at night. So that is basically the time of this chapter :)
When I wake up I am no longer in my little secret place with Riley, just hearing his name makes me blush, anyways I am in my room at Jace's place, wait, Jace's place how'd I get here?
" Oh Talia, your awake how are you feeling? " A voice says but his deeply voice makes me think it's Jace or dad, I think Jace because dad would say sweetie or something like that.
" What " I say, but it comes out really quiet
" Jace? Daddy ? " I say again
" It's Jace Talia, do you want me to go get dad though? "
" No, but what happened, how am I here I fell asleep with-" I say then finish " Riley "
" Yeah, I know he's the one brought you here, he said he found you crying, and that Ethan did something to you... And then he said you fell asleep, Talia what did Ethan do?, your lucky if I don't go get dad right now and bring him here. I start crying thinking about what Ethan did to me, Jace probably thinks that Ethan attacked me, or even worse... Raped me, but he didn't. He just cheated on me but boy I feel like I would feel less bad if he did make me have sex with him. Jace leans down and puts his hand on my face rubbing his thumb over my left cheek, like Ethan used to do. He leans down and says
" I'll be right back, I'm gonna go get mom and dad " he whispers. I hear him get up and then hear the door open then close, I close my eyes and turn over in my bed. I hear the door open and close again, and I think that Jace is back with mom and dad, but then I hear.
" Talia? Talia! Where are you? " a voice say. No no no why is he back. I get out of my bed and run to the bathroom, right when he opens the door to my room.
" Talia let me in " He says
" Leave me alone Ethan ! Just leave me alone please " I cry out
" No Talia what happened ? I heard you were found by someone crying in the chasm, let me in so I can talk to you tell me what happened, please " He says.
" No you can't do anything about what happened, ple-" I'm cut off by someone opening the door to my room and then
" Ethan what are you doing here get out of my apartment " uh oh Jace is back
" What are you talking about ? " Ethan says
" Ethan you heard Jack get out of this apartment, and if you ever hurt Talia again, let's just say you'll be sorry " A deep voice says almost matching with Jace, dad.
I decide that I can't not cry anymore, and that if I do they'll all hear me and get worried, so I step out of the bathroom with my eyes full of tear and I run straight into moms arms, she stiffens not realizing who I am but when she does realize she hugs back soon I feel another pair of arms wrap around me, they feel like dads arms that protect me when I have nightmares and can't sleep. I pull away from mom and dad and sit on my bed. Ethan comes up to me and tilts my head up with he thumb and says
" There are those beautiful eyes I've been wanting to see " He coos
" Stop Ethan, stop the game, I saw you with Emily, don't even try to deny it cause it looked like you were enjoying it from my point of view " I say quietly
" Talia that was-" He says getting cut off by me
" No stop Ethan I know what you did, just go I know you probably never wanted to be with me anyways "
" Tally " Ethan says. I look away not, liking my nickname coming out of his mouth.
" Ethan just go, she'll talk to you when she wants to " Dad says
" Alright " he says sounding defeated, and with that he leaves.
I get up off my bed to leave but am pull back on my wrist when I turn around to see who it is I see blue-grey eyes.
" Jace I'm fine, mom, dad and Jace I love you guys, but I'm tired and I wanna go to sleep, I'm gonna go to the dormitory and sleep, if I see Ethan I'll just ignore him, but just tomorrow act like nothing happened, you have to anyways transfers can't know your my parents, good night..." I say
" Good night we'll see you tomorrow I love you " Dad says kissing my forehead.
" Love you guys too "
I walk out heading to the dorm after hugging dad, mom, and Jace. When I get there I am met with piercing bright blue eyes again. Riley. He sees me and hugs me, I melt into the hug and say
" Hi Riley, I'm sorry about earlier today, I was sad,and I guess tired and.. "
" Talia stop I don't care if you fall asleep I understand, but I really need to tell you something, I know you just got out of a relationship, but I can't hide my feelings for you anymore, I think your beautiful in every single way, your face, your body, and oh my god your eyes... " He says. What? Riley Pedard likes me ? My thoughts are cut off when Riley crashes his lips to mine, I stiffen but then melt into the kiss and soon I am kissing him back, he pushes my against the wall, then pushes me up against it so he's holding me up by my thighs, and my legs are around his waist , I have to breath so I pull away, he begins kissing down my neck, and my collar bone, I say his name and he lets me down and says
" Talia Eaton , will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend ? " He says.
" Yes " I say smiling, he smiles back at me too.
We walk back to the dormitory hand and hand when we walk through the door I hear a few people snoring. Riley walks me over to my bed, and kisses my head goodnight. I remember that Ethans' bed is right next to mine. I turn my head and look to see if he's there, he isn't. Riley goes across the room to, I guess, his bed and gets under his covers.
About 15 minutes after I decide I have to go to the bathroom, so I get out of my warm bed and make my way out of the dorm, but before I do I check to make sure Hayes is in his bed, he is.
On my way back from the bathroom, hands suddenly wrap around my waist and over my mouth. I try my best to get away from the grasp, but it is to tight around my waist. I also try to scream when my attacker takes his hand away from my mouth, I do, but it come out not as loudly as I had hoped, and before I can do it again a gag is over my mouth, I can feel the person hooking the belt-like rope in the back, making it tighter and tighter.
I start to squirm again, and the attacker puts zip ties around my wrists. He starts dragging me down the hall. Towards the chasm. This time I thrash against my attacker. I don't wanna die, I don't want to die, please someone find me before... I think my attacker realizes this, so he puts a blindfold over my eyes. No, no, no please!
When we get there he tries picking me up, but before he can I make myself go limb, so I drop to the ground. He picks my body up and punches my stomach and face, I can feel a bruise starting to form on my face, and my stomach screams in pain. He keeps punching me until I feel like I should just give up, with his last punch it was defiantly the hardest one my blindfold sinks a little down below my eyes. I'm so surprised by what I see and I gasp. Ethan. He picks my limb body off the ground and takes me to the edge of the railing, he has me bridal style, where my legs are over one of his arms, and my head on the other.
Suddenly I hear some shouting, but I feel darkness coming over me soon. Ethan drops me and I hear skin on skin, punching. I hear another body hit the floor, and someone picking me up again bridal style, but when my head slumps to there chest I smell something. Not a bad something, a good one, I've associated this smell with safety, it's daddy.
" Please hang on baby girl your gonna be okay, I love you so much never forget that! " He says
I feel him start to run and back to my old apartment I shared with him and mom he bangs on the door and mom comes out, my eyes are closed, so she must think I'm unconscious. She cry's out and puts her thumb over my forehead.
" Tris, go get Jace, and meet me at the infirmary " He says. I'm surprised I haven't blacked out yet.
" Okay " She kisses my forehead, and I hear her running down the hall.
Dad takes off sprinting down to the infirmary I hear him shouting for help, then me being pulled out of his arms. Noo daddy! I want him. I manage out a small croak, while they put me down on a gurney.
" Daddy! "
" Talia, your gonna be okay, I'll be right here when you wake up ! I love you ! " He says
I start to feel my vision cloud up, and I feel like I'm spinning, finally I am slipped into darkness.
