Chapter 31 The next morning came soon, my parents returned late last night but when they were home, I was sleeping. The entire night I was awake, the nightmares kept haunting me and the storm happening outside and inside me was terrible. I was also woken by thunder countless times. As the clouds cried, so did I. My eyes were red by morning, dark circles were around them. My skin turned pale and my hair was perfectly everywhere around me. I showered a few hours ago, and I wore a simple shirt and pyjamas. I wasn't able to wear something right because my back was still sore and hurting horribly. Whenever I moved or touched the wall, I would scream internally. The belt definitely left red marks on my skin, they weren't bloody like my old master but they were horrible. I went downstairs and gobbled up some food, I couldn't swallow much as my stomach filled very quick. I watched the television alone and waited for Bella so I could at least be happy. She always made me happy no matter what, her brightened face always bought a smile on mines. I waited and waited for the time to pass. It was 11 am and my parents were home. My mother was getting ready to pick Bella up from school. "Bella has dancing classes and then she is going to her grandmother's house she won't be home till 7 so you should stop waiting for her." My mother said. I switched the television of and sighed. I wouldn't be able to see her for another 7 hours. "Your father and I am going to work. We will pick Bella on the way and drop her to my mothers house. Alex will be coming home by 9pm so yes," my mother said. Soon, everyone left the house. The house was again empty. At this point, I wished I had friends to talk to about my life. I had Bruce. I called him immediately as the thought of him ran across my head. "Hey," "Hi," Bruce said. I still had his phone and his spare credit card. "Can you come over, I feel a little sick." I said. "No, I can't, I have some work and then I have a dinner date with Sierra at eight. I can't come today but I'll come tomorrow," he stated. I closed my eyes and sighed, "Okay, sure." I closed the call immediately after that and landed back on the couch, a tear slipped down my eyes and onto my cheeks. I was tired of crying. My eyes were on fire from crying the whole night. I needed to get out, I needed to get away from this thing that is haunting me. I didn't want to go back to Marco, I didn't know what he thought of me after last night. I was miserable and broken and was no use to him anymore. Even the slightest touch triggered me. I picked up the phone and dialed someone's number that in five years I had never forgotten. He quickly picked it up after the second ring. "Yes, Bruce?" "Hi, this is Wendy. I want some pills for a day, strong ones please." I quickly said. "Sure, come around Bellid Cafe, corner, I am around there with my friends." He immediately replied. "I'll be there in five minutes," I jumped up from the couch and dragged myself out of the house in pajamas.

I wanted to be numb. Using the credit card Bruce had given me earlier, I cashed out a couple hundred dollars from the atm and then I went to the cafe where I would find this man that I had known for years. He was wearing a tank top and he was standing in between a group of his friends. As soon as he saw me, he pulled me into a hug. "Long time, no see?" Tristan said. "Yes, I had been busy but now I just to get a release. I am tired of everything and I need something very strong," I replied. He grabbed my hand and shoved a pill. "Take this and you'll be numb for hours and hours." He said and I immediately took it. We were in an alert so no one could really see us. His friends watched me taking the pill. "What's wrong? You're eyes are already red." He remarked while waving his fingers around my eyes. He had a cigarette between his fingers, I immediately took it from him and smoked it. "Let me guess, love?" He asked. I laughed and shook my head, "I don't know honestly. Just messed up right now," "Don't worry, you'll get fine soon in a few minutes everything will feel good." He placed his hand on my shoulder and comforted me. "Thanks," I took another puff and blew it out. The cigarette was a mint flavor and it wasn't really tasty. It tasted like a toothpaste shoved down my throat. "I had heard you are with Marco Black?" He questioned while shoving his hands down his pockets and removing another cigarette. He lit it up in front of my face and handed it to me as mine finished. "Who told? I'm not with him!" I exclaimed and lied. His friends joined me and we all were standing in the corner. Cars were passing by and no one noticed a woman standing in her pajamas in the middle of at least 5 boys. "My brothers tell me you are with him?" Tristan asked again. "No, we are just friends." I replied smoothly. Stars were appearing in my vision slowly and I was smiling like crazily. "Well, you should be careful then. Marco Black is a very dangerous man," He added. "Don't you buy your stock from him?" I laughed. "Yes we do, which surprises me that why did you ask me when you had Mr. Black?" He questioned. "I don't know, he doesn't allows me to touch anything." I said. I never really thought of asking him for any sort of drugs. I didn't even remember that drugs existed in this world until last night. I was an addict before and I started it again after being clean for two years. Suddenly a black car stopped right behind me, I turned around to see Marco and his men. His men stepped out of the car and rushed towards me, they pulled out their guns and turned towards Tristan and his friends. Marco calmly walked to me. "Get in," he grabbed the cigarette out of my hand and threw it on the floor. "Don't hurt them," I whispered. "Please," I continued. "I won't, go in." He said. He came into the car with me after having a small conversation with Tristan and his friends. I didn't know what he said but I knew they were frightened and I knew he would never give me drugs again. He got of the pavement and began to drive on the busy streets. "You are never smoking cigarettes again," he said more like stated a fact. I rolled my eyes and laid back on the seat of the car. The pill was inside my system and I couldn't feel anything much. I just smiled and stared outside the window. The sun hit my eyes again I winced. The traffic light came and he stopped the car and then he noticed my state and as soon as he felt something suspicious, he grabbed my face and pulled me towards him. "What the f**k have you been doing?" He questioned and I just smiled wickedly. My eyes were completely red now and I knew it. I couldn't help but let out a small giggle. "Wendy, what the f**k did you do?" He asked again. I didn't respond again. He grunted and started to drive on the roads. He drove all the way to his house. The golden gates opened and he got inside it. I didn't really care what he was doing or where he was taking. My eyes were dropping down and my mood was lit. I placed my fingers over my mouth and giggled. There was a different type of calm inside me.
