Do you know what sucks more than heartbreak?

Do you know what hurts more than accidentally jabbing your hop against the edge of the dining table?

Do you know what slowly kills you from the inside besides depression and unrequited love?

I didn't know there was such a thing till today. Till this very moment. I finally realize what hurts more, what sucks more, what kills you from the inside.

Its betrayal.

It's being betrayed by the person you love and trust.

It's being betrayed by your first love.

It's being betrayed by the boy who promised that he'd always be there for you.

"And...?" I yell "do you have anything else to tell me. Anything else that will completely break me inside and out?" I shriek bursting into tears.

Sobs rack my body and I fail to inhale due to my heavy breathing. He just laughs in response.

"I have so much more to share with you, my dearest sweet daughter", he caresses my temple with the blade and I internally gag.

Dearest sweet daughter.

Gross, I'm only some girl you kidnapped. I'm some girl whose life you  decided to ruin for your selfish purposes, if I was your daughter you wouldn't have broken me.

"You're the filthiest man in the universe you piece of trash", I yell not the least bit bothered by the fact that I am at his complete mercy. He ruined my family, my life, everyone's life. 

"I know, I am. But it's so much fun being bad", he states, when did the amazing man I know become replaced by this psychopath? "Austin, Austin, Austin. That little piece of foolish meat was so important in my plan. You see you Xavier and Austin were close as kids, but then... Austin loved you and you only had eyes for Xavier."

I roll my eyes "Bruh, I was ten. Austin is messed up if he fell for me when he was ten. Like hello?"

"Shut it!" He commands and I instantly zip my lips "poor Austin broke, just like me. He watched his friends fall in love, so I took that to my advantage. We made a deal that when I kidnap you, Austin will be the only contact you have with the outside world. But who knew- Goddamn it", he smashes the china vase against the wall, the smash making me flinch. 

"You had to go to A-List Academy, but I had planned in advance. I knew Xavier would do something."

Actually don't blame that cinnamon-roll, I overheard you talking with my sister. So blame yourself. "So lemme get this straight", I begin trying to summarize everything "just because Xavier and my dad decided to alienate you from their life, and get Xavier and I married you decided to get revenge my kidnapping me. Which in my opinion is ludicrous. You slept with my mom, Austin helped you and he loved me. And no one suspected anything?"

He nods his head "precisely."

Cool, I guess that explains shit. That two timing gorgeous piece of crap. He might be crap but he's still hot. He lied to me and I know I'm not supposed to forgive him even if he had reasons he believed were valid. I'll try to forgive him because I know love is blind, people do insane things when they love another person. At one point I loved Austin and I did everything I possibly could to gain his attention even asking Caitlyn for flirting tips. 

My dad opens the door and calmly walks out "w-where are you going?" I ask confused, you cannot be thinking of leaving me here forever, and without food?!

"I'll be back, my sweet angel and nothing in the entire universe will be able to prepare you for what I'll do to you."

Well thanks for the heads up. Nothing in this universe can prepare someone for death, duh. 

"Goodbye, pizza. Just know that I missed ya", I whisper. 

"And what about me", A familiar voice speaks and my eyes widen. Xavier freaking Blaze, what in the world.....

Nah, I'm dreaming. See this is what happens when you think about someone for a very long time, you start hallucinating.  I shut my eyes once again wishing every edible dish in existence goodbye. 

He pinches my cheek "you're not dreaming, Austin and I are here to get you out", my eyes flicker open and I flinch at our close proximity. His blue eyes look more gorgeous than ever and he is clad in a black hoodie and ripped jeans giving him the perfect bad boy vibe

"Fine, get me out of these", I pull at my restraints "and hurry", I quickly add. 

He grabs the key from the dresser. "Kinky much" he chuckles. 

"Kinky my ass", I retort narrowing my eyes at him. "You try anything funny and I will kill you."

He throws his hands up in defense,  "you do realize you're practically naked, right?" My eyes widen at this statement, if my hands weren't restrained I would've probably ended up gouging his eyes out with a toothpick. 

"As a matter of fact, I do. But that isn't my biggest concern. The wounds on my body are deep, they're in need of medical attention."

He uncuffs the restraints supporting me up "should I stop the bleeding?" He suggests and I shake my head, our main priority is to leave this house alive. 

"My dad can come back any minute now, we have to leave", I mutter clutching my shoulder in pain as the sudden movements cause a jolt of pain to shoot right through my body. 

"Don't worry, Austin is with him and the police as we speak", I gasp. Hell no! Austin is the bad guy yet he's helping us there has to be a catch

Sensing my astonishment he replies "don't fret, I'm glad you're dad explained everything to you. If I was the one doing all the explaining I wouldn't be able to even muster up the courage and put yourself in Austin's shoes. If the man you love, oved somebody else wouldn't you also have done what he did."

I shake my head "he played a part in ruining my life, I'm not that lovesick."

He simply sighs hauling me up "he's changed and he decided to help you. He loves you and I think I was wrong for not giving him a a chance to explain himself. Maybe there might be more to what meets the eyes."

"And you're not bothered by the fact that he loves me?" I inquire my heart squeezing a little. Noelle always told me that if a guy honestly loves you, he won't ever let any other guy love you, he'll claim you to the fullest. 

He shrugs "he hasn't made his move. If he asks you out...I doubt he'll live another day", I nervously chuckle at his dark response but somehow it made me feel safe. 

I lean on his shoulder as he supports me up, and all of a sudden the door swings open to reveal my abductor with a malign smile playing on his lips, armed with a gun. "This is where we say goodbye", he smiles pointing it towards me and pulling the trigger. 

And then everything happened in slow motion: the bullet slicing through the air, Xavier pushing me away, my forehead hitting against the sharp edge of the bedside table and everything instantly turning black.
