In the next few chapter it will switch a lot from Austin's and Jessy's POV, just warning you!
Austin's POV
Ten days. Ten days I've been in here. It hurts so much not being able to see Jessy. He knows this, he's been using it against me. I know why I'm here, why Jessy's not in my spot. He told me. That man..I know why he hurts her. She is the strongest link in our family. If she goes down, we all go down. We all depend on her being okay, and if she's not, we all fall down.
'She's such a weak child, seems so strong and beautiful in your eyes. But look inside, do you not see the pain that lies inside?'
'She doesn't understand how much she holds in her hands.'
'She'll be like her father, all broken inside because she can't bring herself to let go.'
His words went on and on through my brain.
'So weak and spineless, she can't even breathe without you.'
'All those times she put her trust in someone, they let her down. Her father and mother, Anton and he doesn't even exist...'
'Was it the demons of your past threatening to breathe your last, when you deserved something else? Is that why she is so weak inside?"
I have bruises and scars on my face for being snotty back towards him. The chains on my arms dig deeper and deeper, bleeding more and more. I can't help but want to get out. What prisoner doesn't? Her blue eyes are all I see when I sleep at night. The dance on the balcony, Getting her father back, The multiple movie nights.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" I scream, trying to break free of the chains, only for them to dig deeper into my skin. Tears flood my eyesight, making my world blurry. I scream and tug, even though I know it's no use.
Then he appears. He walks over to me and grabs me by the neck.
"Is it finally too much for a Stark to handle?" He hissed.
"Let me go." I chokes out, trying to breathe.
"Not until she breaks."
"You don't know her, you only know what are her fears, and you fed off of them. She is strong, why do you think she's lasted this long?" I spat in his face.
"Ah, but that's the point! The more she breaks, the less strong she is." He sneered.
"You are despicable. Evil and worthless. No wonder your own father didn't want you! You should be happy Odin took you in!" I screamed, knowing this was sensitive grounds to be running on.
He glared at me, his eyes showing hatred. He slammed me to the ground and slapped my face. He tighten the chains and cuffs.
"So young to be fighting so many, aren't you all?" He hissed in my ear.
He left, and left me alone once again. I looked up at the window, like I've been doing every night since, I've been forced to leave her.
"It's okay, Jess. I'll be okay. Don't break, Don't cry, just sing that lullaby. You'll be safe, you'll be fine, don't let those demons eat you alive."
Tears, Tears, and more tears. I miss him too much to bare. I wouldn't leave his room. I wouldn't eat anything, even if Jay made it. His smell, his everything. I can't bring myself to leave. It's hard to breathe, talk, hell even move.
"Jessy, you'll have to come out of there eventually." Edward's voice chimed from behind the door.
I stayed silent, until I heard his feet walk away.
"My Austin lies over the ocean, my Austin lies over the sea, My Austin lies over the ocean, oh bring back my Austin to me.." I sang, trying to make myself calm down.
Tears came without warning and I was crying again. My father came in and looked at me, with sad eyes.
"Is this how you felt when mom was gone?" I asked him, not bothering to look back at him.
"Yes."
"Why does it hurt so much? Why?" I sobbed more, uneasiness fulling my stomach.
"I don't know sweetheart, I wish I did." He wrapped his arms around me, holding me close.
"Up until now I've sworn to myself that I content with loneliness, Daddy. I can't take this anymore."
"Jess, tell me something, do you think Austin would want you to be like this?"
"No, but it's hard not to be, I miss him so much."
"Exactly, so why do you think sitting here will help?"
I started sobbing again. My father brought me closer, holding me tight. I knew he trying to make up for missing me so long.
"I understand that you think it helps, I'm not saying it doesn't, but you are the daughter of an assassin, and super-solider. It's been ten day, sweetheart. You know he's wanting for you to come save him. After all, Starks are the ones that usually need saving." He jokes, and I smiled at him.
I got up and walked out of the room. Lauren stood there with Jay, and grins upon their faces. Even with my tear stained face, I gave them a grin, embracing them in hugs.
"I missed you Jessy!" Lauren said.
"I missed you guys too!" I looked at Jay "So... Got any food?"
He laughed and we all walked to the kitchen. He started making me pancakes, even though it was 10:00 at night. My father came and put his hand on my shoulder.
"So what's the plan?" Lauren asked.
"What plan?"
"Come one, all that time spent in that room, you would have to have thought of a plan." Jay pointed a spatula at me.
"Well, it's kinda already been done before."
"What is it Jessy?" My father asked.
"Jess, you act like you are going to go right up to the front door, and ask for Austin back." I gave them a grin, and my father chuckled.
"Great minds think alike." He patted my head, and walked off.
"What is he talking about?" Jay asked.
"What Lauren said, that's exactly what we are gonna do."
