Aubrey's POV:

I went to the guest room and locked the door then began to bawl my eyes out.

Why doesn't he care? 

Can't he see how much pain I'm in? I thought he was my friend. I thought he would help me... but I guess I was wrong.

I let out a sob then I start thinking about the long and painful death I will have if I stay here. Along with different scenarios of the things Xavier could do to me before I die.

Torture or even rape.

I won't let that happen. I won't let someone violate me like that, especially him. But it's just a matter of time until he does.

I continue to sob.

I can't take it anymore. I won't allow myself to end like that, under his command.

Then frantically my eyes dart across the room, looking for anything sharp. But I couldn't seem to find anything. Suddenly, I heard banging on the door.

"Aubrey, open the door!" Mason shouted.

I guess he figured it out.

I continue to look for something with which I could just end it with, then my eyes landed on to the pouch of pills. I tore the pouch and took out a bottle of sleeping pills.

I hurriedly emptied the content of the bottle in my hand and was about to swallow them when suddenly the door burst open.

I looked at the doorway and saw Mason standing there with red eyes and tear-stained cheeks.

"Aubrey, please don't." He said while inching closer and closer to my fragile body.

I look at him and allow a sob to escape my lips.

"Mason I'm sorry but I can't live like this. It's just a matter of time before Xavier comes back and hurts me again. I would rather kill myself quickly than die a slow painful death. Goodbye, Mason." I whispered and was about to swallow the pills before suddenly I was tackled to the ground.

The pills dropped and scattered everywhere on the floor. I looked at Mason who was on top of me pinning my hands above my head as I began to sob.

"Why?! Why can't you do me a favour and let me end it?" I sobbed.

"Because I care for you." He simple said.

I give him a humourless laugh.

"You care for me? If you cared for me you would let me die considering you won't help me." I said.

Suddenly, I felt warm lips meet mine. The explosion of fireworks was unexpected, and I don't know why but I kissed him back. It felt... right. He felt... right.

After a few minutes we pulled back. I stared at Mason as he brought out foreheads together so they were slightly touching.

"I care for you, Audrey. I like you more than just a friend. I don't know how it is possible but every time I look at you my heart skips a beat. I know we just met and that you would probably hate me but I just want you to know I like you, okay? And I won't let Xavier hurt you again."

I looked at him shocked as a tear fell from his eyes. It was the sweetest thing anyone ever said to me.

Without thinking I grabbed his shirt and crashed his lips onto mine. After a few minutes we broke apart and stared into each other's eyes.

I looked to the side smiling then said, "Can you get off me now?"

He chuckled then replied, "Only if you don't try to kill yourself again."

I nodded and then after a few seconds he was off of me.

We both got up and sat on the bed facing each other with an awkward silence.

"You should probably change. You look like a mess." He said.

Well, it was true. My hair probably looked like a birds nest and not to mention my swollen, tear-stained face. I nodded and then joking, "You should too. You don't look like Prince Charming either."

He laughed and then went out of the room probably going to clean up.

I looked at the time, 8:00pm.

I went to the bathroom and took a bath. After a few minutes I turned off the shower and changed into pyjama shorts and a small hoodie that ended on my belly button and thought of all the things that happened to me in the past few hours.

Watching a movie, went to screaming, went to trying to kill myself, went to being kissed. 

The thought of the kiss made me smile and my heart flutter. I went downstairs smiling to find Mason sitting on the sofa with some sweatpants on and his chest was bare making me stare at his abs. Luckily, I was able to remove my eyes before he caught me staring.

I entered the living room and sat beside him. He stared at me checking me out from top to bottom. I looked down and my cheeks turned into tomatoes. I cleared my throat to get him out of his trance and luckily he did.

I sat beside him as he began to speak.

"So I have been thinking about how desperately you wanted to escape and I don't want you to think of me as a bad person so I will help to get out of here." He said.

"What?" I looked at him shocked, the words barely audible.

"I will help you." He repeats carefully, as though he was speaking to a three year old.

I get up from the sofa as I started to cry from happiness, I was finally going to get out of here.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I squealed whilst bouncing up and down.

He went to me and wrapped his bulky arms around my slender frame, kissing me whilst doing it.

He looked at me with his shocking blue eyes and I said, "I guess we're a thing now?"

He smiled and nodded. I gave him a toothy grin and then said, "When do we leave this hell hole?"

"Tomorrow."

___________________________

I woke up the next day feeling happy. I am finally going home. 

I happily got up and took out a black, frilly skirt and a full sleeved white top. I made my way to the bathroom and stripped from my pyjamas. I went into the shower and started thinking of Mason.

Mason and I are together. 

I thought of how he was the person to break my shell after Mason had hurt me and how he had stopped me from killing myself even though he was the reason I thought of it, but still.

We are not dating considering both of us don't have the time for it, but I do hope he asks me out when we leave this place.

I scrubbed myself raw. Satisfied I was clean, I changed into my outfit. I looked at myself, smiling. I wore some black sandals and went downstairs.

I remember Mason saying we will leave in the morning since the drive is longer than I expected. I don't know why but I felt something weird. It was like something horrible was going to happen. I shrugged off the feeling.

Soon Mason came downstairs completely covered in black. His messy blonde hair was spikes and might I say he looked sexy.

"Like what you see?" He asked cockily.

That's when I realised I had been staring at him for some time. Embarrassed, I looked down as my cheeks turned red.

He chuckled then said, "You look cute when you blush," causing me turn redder.

I came from the back of the slab. Now it was Mason's turn to gawk at me. He stared at my legs since the skirt was only mid thigh.

"Like what you see?" I joked as he nodded his head absent minded.

"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked as he sat on one of the stools. He shrugged.

Eventually we ended up eating cereal. After we were done we put bowls into the sink.

"We should be leaving," he said.

"Okay, wait a minute. I'll be right back." I said as I went upstairs. Suddenly the feeling came back.

Then BAM! A loud voice came from downstairs as I heard the front door open.

What's happening? 

I cautiously crept down the steps and saw from the corner of the hall, Xavier standing in the living room with his gun pointed at Mason.

What is he doing here? He was supposed to come next week. 

"She is not going ANYWHERE!" he said through gritted teeth.

Oh God! Not again.
