A/N = I GRADUATED! OMG !
And in a very original way! I might even get the newspapers haha! No seriously. I was first told that I had most probably failed... But I could do a re-exam with little chance to graduate anyway... My re-exam was from 9.00 AM till 12.00 AM and I swear, I hadn't even gotten up from my seat at exactly 12.00AM when my teacher and mentor and the headmaster suddenly stood in front of me, telling me that they had been able to chang some things, and made some important calls, which resulted in me GRADUATING! :D :D :D
WOOP!
So because I was sooo excited I wrote two chapters in a row ánd figured out a completely different ending plot! XD
So I think you can expect at least 15 more chapters, if it's not more :P
So don't worry! This story is not over yet!
Chapter 48
Dougie's POV
'Dougie? Wake up, Dougie...' A dull voice sounded, muffled and distant in my ears, not fully entering my half-conscious mind. Involuntary, I blocked it out and for a while I was back in my shallow slumber.
'Dougie!' The voice sounded again, louder and harsher this time, the source of the sound coming from something close to my ear, making me groan in displease.
'Wake up you lazy shit!' I felt myself being shaken by rough hands, and I immediately jolted awake, now recognizing the voice. It belonged to Jared. I yelped when I opened my eyes and was faced with his furious face, only inches away from my own face. I tried to pull back from his grip instantly, but it only resulted into being shaken harshly once again. In a quick terrified glance behind Jared, I noticed I wasn't in my usual room. I found myself in the same room where Rick had taken me last night to call my friends. The next thing I realised was that I was laying on the wooden bed, with my hands tied to the headboard, with tie-wraps. My stomach clenched in fear and my horror even increased, when I spotted Jeff and David being in the room as well. This was the final straw for me, and I felt my heartbeat speeding up to an almost disturbingly quick pace and my chest becoming tight; the telling signs of a panic attack that's building up. I whimpered and writhed on the bed, desperately trying to get my hands free from the tight tie-wraps.
Jared let me freak out for a moment, doing absolutely nothing to try and stop my struggling. After what couldn't possibly have been longer than two minutes but felt like ages, I already started to feel lightheaded and dizzy though, and my struggling weakened down. The fact that Jared had just been patiently waiting for me to tire myself out in such a shockingly short time, freaked me out big time, but I was suddenly too weak to panic on the outside. What the hell was wrong with me? Had I been drugged after all?
'Done?' Jared asked me in a mocking tone with a little amused grin on his face, when I slowly but reluctantly relaxed underneith him. I didn't reply, and just tried to focus on my breathing, instead of Jared hovering over me. His position, sitting half on top of me, seriously unsettled me.
He viciously shook me again, and snarled at me.
'I asked, are you done?'
I remembered his stupid rule of always replying verbally when he asked me something and quickly cried out a yes. I was laying on my back, the tie-wraps preventing me from laying on my side or stomach, and I felt my wounds on my back throbbing painfully. I must have been pretty deep out of it if I hadn't woken up when they carried me to this room. I couldn't even remember falling asleep... What the hell was going on? Where was Rick?
Jared looked at me with dangerous eyes, making my heart clench in fear.
'So we've all noticed that you and Rick have become very good friends, haven't you, little Dougie?' He started. I silently glanced at him in confusion. What was he on about? Why did he have to tie me up.
'We've also noticed Rick has gone out, for the first time since we had you here. That is kind of suspicious, since he didn't tell me where he was going, AND after having a major fight with me only last night, about how badly we treated you!'
Jared started talking with his voice controlled, but ended up almost screaming the words at me. He was absolutely pissed off and I still didn't really understand what was going on, my mind fuzzy and unclear. I must have been drugged somehow, maybe in my sleep. I didn't remember it.
I just stayed silent and tried to keep my vision focused while Jared stopped for a breath for a second and then willed himself to calm down again.
When he started speaking again, it was again in a controlled voice.
'Rick is seriously pissing me off with his stupid pathetic behaviour. He feels so sorry for you. he tries to hide it, but I can see right through him. We used to be... friends.' He spat the word out.
'And now he's gone out. And I have an idea you know where he went, since you two apparently get along so well... So tell me, Dougie. Where is Rick?'
I bit my lip, surpressing a frightened whimper when he looked at me with dangerous, furious eyes. Eyes that looked at me like they wanted to tear me up. What was I supposed to do now? What if Rick was in trouble now for wanting to protect me? What if they were going to hurt him when they got back? Rick was the only one who cared for me. I couldn't tell them where he was. And even if I had wanted to tell them, I couldn't speak up, because my throat was as dry as sandpaper, and I was slightly trembling, while my head still felt so heavy.
So I kept quiet and just kept looking up at the angry man, who was still sitting on top of me, effectively staddling me.
'Answer me! Where is he?' Jared bellowed after a few moments of silence, and he harshly slapped me across my face, making my head snap to the side. I cried out in surprise and pain, my cheek burning with an upcoming bruise from the forceful strike to my face. I scunched my eyes closed in pain when Jared pushed my chest down on the bed, the big wounds on my back screaming and burning from hitting the surface.
A desperate combination of a gasp and a sob left my mouth, while I still held my eyes closed. At this moment I desperately wished for Rick to come in and save me again.
Review please!
