Chapter 9
Saving Yourself
Bella's Point of View
I felt like I was in a daze as I wrote the note to my parents. It was five in the morning and neither of them were up yet.
Dear mom and dad.
By the time you get this note I will be long gone with Jaden.
This is what I want. This is what we both want.
I love Jaden and he loves me, we will be okay together. Like you said, we are perfect for each other.
In a way I am making things so much easier for you, now you don't have to worry about moving or me anymore. Jaden will take good care of me. We will start up a new life, far away from you where we can't bother you anymore.
Thank you for all your care and love. I will call you soon…hopefully.
I love you.
Bella.
I folded the note and put it in an envelope just as Jaden had instructed me to. I walked downstairs and put it on the table where they would see it before walking out the front door where I met Jaden. He pulled me into his arms and kissed the top of my head.
"I love you." He whispered in my ear.
"I love you too." I felt like a robot as I replied. I felt nothing on the inside of me and I felt like I was being controlled. It wasn't me in my own brain. It was someone else and there was a control box where they told which body part to move and what to say. We got into his car and drove away. I left the home that I think I had lived in my whole life. I didn't remember anymore. Everything was a blur, I only remembered being loved by Jaden and me loving him back. My face was turned as we drove along the road, I didn't see anything outside. I'm pretty sure I should have seen green trees and buildings passing by now and then, but I didn't see anything. It was like a blank white sheet was in my view, not permitting me to see anything. I felt really weird as we drove for days without stopping.
"Good morning sleepy head." I heard Jaden say with a squeeze of my hand.
"Morning." I replied automatically. My mind wasn't mine anymore. Somebody else controlled it now and I was on autopilot at the moment or whenever I spoke. Jaden says something then I reply with the automatic response. I felt something squeeze my hand and figured out that it was Jaden's hand when I looked down at our hands. My fingers were straight but were slowly curling, making our hands entwined together. I squeezed it back and Jaden smiled at me, possibly glad that I was responding in someway.
I felt like I was trapped in a little box at the back of my mind and was trying to break free to gain control over my body, but the power over my mind was too strong for me to overcome it.
SNEAK PEAK INTO CHAPTER 10
"I asked, where are you going, my sweet?" He growled between his teeth.
