I laid there, on the floor.

Hurt and cold.

Hopeless and upset.

Will I ever be able to escape this place?

Will my dad even come to save me?

Will he just leave me here to rot?

Here, all to... To a dangerous man...

I stand up, after a lot of struggling.

I look at the wall blankly, feeling my spirit leaving my body.

What do I do?

What can I do?


I hear the door click, and immediately look up at the door.

I crawl away from the door in fear, without thinking. And waited for whoever it is, to walk in.

It's a dark skinned guy, not JJ, but a different guy.

"JJ-" He stops in his tracks once he sees me. He widens his eyes, looking at me sadly.

The unknown man walks over to me, and kneels down.

I scoot backwards, not trusting him at all.

He doesn't look dangerous, but I can't judge anyone based on looks.

"Don't be scared of me, I'm not gonna hurt you." He reassures me, and I look at him silently.

I don't know what to do...

Should I trust him, or not?


He reaches his hand out for the duct tape on my mouth, and I let him take it off.

Once it's off, I sigh of relief and mumble a 'thank you'.

"No problem!" He says as he unties the rop on my wrists. "My name is Tobi, what is yours?"

"I-it's Simon..." I say and look down at the floor, avoiding his curious but nice eyes.

They remind me too much of Harry, the way they look at me..

When we were a happy couple, always doing stupid things-

He looked at me like I was his whole world, and I was.

That's right...

I was.


I shake my head, trying to get harry out of my thoughts, and it worked. At least for now..

"What's wrong?"

"N-nothing..." That was far from the truth.

Everything is wrong.

Just... Look at me, I'm so ugly...

Tobi grabbed my wrist gently and inspected it.

"Did... JJ do this to you?" I nod, tearing up just by hearing his name.

Why did he hurt me for something my dad did?

"Come on, let me help clean your wounds." He pulled on me carefully, and I got up, feeling numb.

I almost fell, if it wasn't for Tobi supporting me.

He helped me sit down on the bed, and I waited for him to get a first aid kit.
