Dear Bert,
I guess you know what happened… but that doesn't matter… what matters is what my parents feel… my father hates me… he doesn't care about me at all… he… for the first time he hit my mother, and she threatened to leave him. What's going to happen? My father hates me, and if she leaves me with him… … … … … There is only one thing to do… What if… what if I leave? What if I escape? They will forget they ever had a daughter… it's not like they care… they're too absorbed in themselves… it will all be better for them.
A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts, and I quickly hid my blooded tissue and journal under the bed, before letting the person behind the door enter.
'Sera?' Gail greeted as she came in. 'Can I come in?'
'Yes…' I softly replied, while she entered.
'How are you feeling?' She asked as she brought in a muffin and a bottle of water.
'They're leaving each other… Aren't they?' I asked her.
'Don't think about them sweet heart… you need to gain your strength back.' She replied as she sat beside me.
'It's my entire fault… I should have never been born…' I said.
'Hey… don't say that!' She replied back while she rubbed my back. 'I never had kids of my own… it was my great pleasure helping your parents raising you.'
'… they don't love me Gail… mum told dad that he won't find her here when he comes back…' I desperately answered back as I burst into tears.
She held me tight to her and hugged me. I buried my face in her chest, and there I rested… I cried my guts out… She continued saying soothing words in my ears while rubbing my back gently.
'Why weren't you my mother?' I asked.
'Don't say that Sera.' She said as she looked deep into my eyes. 'You parents love you.'
'No they don't… my father hates me… he… he'd be better off without me.'
'What are you saying?' Gail asked worryingly.
'I don't want to stay here anymore… I want to leave… you have to help me escape…'
'…and where are you going?' She tried reasoning with me.
'Anywhere… anywhere but here… I hate my life… I hate everything here.'
'Shhh… I'm not letting you leave Sera… You're saying this in anger.'
'No… I mean it… I don't want to stay here…' I cried again while she hugged me tighter…
'Please GOD, just take me with you… don't let me live anymore… PLLEEEASSEE!' I begged.
'Shh Sera… shhh… don't say that!' Gail replied with tears in her eyes.
She lied me down gently on the bed and remained with me while she ran smooth circles over my eyes. She kept saying soothing words… she kept promising me that everything would be ok… she tried making me feel better. After a while, all the crying took its toll over me and soon I had fallen to sleep. When Gail was sure that I was sleeping, she left the room and took out her phone.
'Taylor.' He answered.
'It's Gail…WE have a problem…' She said.
'I'm coming right up.'
'What the hell happened?' Taylor said as he entered the kitchen.
'Sera… she wants to escape…'
'What?'
'She heard her parents argue… Mr Grey lost his temper…'
'Where is she?' Taylor asked as he started running the stairs.
'In her room.' Gail answered as she followed his tail. 'She's resting… poor girl cried herself to sleep.' She continued as Taylor opened the door slowly and took in the state I was in.
'Get Flynn.' He ordered. 'This isn't a state she should have been discharged in… tell him what she told you.' He continued as he had already his phone to his ear, while he closed the door slowly.
'Sawyer'
'It's Taylor.' He started. 'I need you to send Ryan… for 24/7 guard with Sera till I find Mr Grey.'
'He'll be there ASAP… I'll send him up.' He finished as he hung up.
Both Taylor and Gail went back downstairs. She made him a quick cup of coffee before he had to go on his mission. They discussed over and over again, all exists available that I could take. He gave Gail direct orders not to let me alone at any time.
Gail had already contacted Flynn, and told him about the whole ordeal. First he wanted to tackle was Ana. He called her immediately trying to calm her down… explaining to her that he had warned her about Christian losing control. After almost half an hour of him trying to convince her to stay, mum accepted to stay… if not for dad… at least for me…
While my mother was on the phone, Ryan was up, and ready to take orders from Taylor.
'Right at your service, Sir…' Ryan stated.
'Sera is trying to escape… I want to keep an eye on her at all times. If she goes to the bathroom you follow her and remain outside the door. If you hear anything suspicious knock to see if she's still in there… if she goes downstairs, you have to go downstairs with her… You have to follow every step she makes...am I clear?'
'Yes sir…'
'I'm holding you in charge of the girl… anything happens to her and you're in trouble with me.' Taylor threatened.
'What will be your job sir?'
'I'm going to search for Mr. Grey.' He replied as he made sure his gun is loaded and headed to the door.
