Chapter 111: 111

"Chloe, let’s go to karaoke", My friend Hailey called me.

I do want to go. I haven’t been outside for a while now.

"Oh su-

I was talking when I felt one hand on my shoulder.

"Baby, can I come?" It was Liam.

But wasn’t it a friend’s hangout plan? I turned to Hailey who looked away from me and said, "Ah no issue you can come some other time."

She left without looking at me again. I don’t know what happened but I turned to Liam who was smiling brightly just like him. No, did I think of him? Did I really think of him now?

I’m going crazy.

"What happened baby? What are you thinking?" he touched my chin and made me look at him but I couldn’t say anything.

"No nothing", I denied but then he whispered.

"You sure need punishment then." but I heard.

"Punishment?" I asked.

"Ah did I say?" he touched his hair awkwardly and smiled.

"No baby, how can I punish you." He kissed my forehead making me forget everything.

It continued for a long time until our department organized a welcome party for the newcomers.

"I can’t meet you today."

"I already have lots on my plate. I hope you can understand", I said and ran toward my group but as the night came and all started drinking while introducing themselves, I saw Liam there. I instantly came to my senses and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." he said, touching my cheek.

"No, you can’t come like this. You and I have different classes and different groups too and if you come here everyone will be uncomfortable." I said out of frustration.

"But I see nothing. Are you uncomfortable with me?" he asked, shaking my body.

"Yeah, I do", I agreed.

"You know what I don’t know what you think but I have lots of things to do. I have my lectures and I want to spend time with my friends as well. I want to spend a lot of time to know what they like and how they have fun but you are just not letting me." I spoke.

"Why? I took you out too. I took you on an outing and we had fun as well." he said, making me push him.

"Because that’s you, not my friends. I need to spend time with them as well. They are important to me." I spoke.

"Then what about me? You don’t want to be with me the way I do?" he said, pushing me toward a wall.

"Lose your grip!" I spoke.

"No answer to me first!!!" he said.

"I said leave!!!" I shouted like crazy but I didn’t know he would glare at me instead.

"Let’s go home now", he said while he pulled my hand. I tried to let myself relax but as some of my classmates saw me, they didn’t even bother to get involved too but get along with their work.

"Liam, let go of me", I shouted.

"Be calm or the punishment will be even more severe than I thought." he said while he took me somewhere unknown. I have never been to his home.

I didn’t hesitate anymore and went inside his place but what I saw just made me feel as if someone was pulling my legs. As I entered the place the room was filled with pictures of mine as if he was a stalker.

"Oh, did I startle you?" he again showed his sweet smile but it was creepy as hell.

"What is this?" I asked.

"It is my way of showing love", he said holding my shoulder but I took my step behind.

"I’m going home", I tried to run away but he closed the door and pinned me in the wall.

"Where are you going baby? I just brought you to my house for the first time so I should let you feel comfortable here so don’t be in such a hurry. It is not like I get to spend my time with you much." He was leaning on me.

Yeah, the person who is saying he doesn’t get to spend time with me is the one who calls me as soon as I wake up. Who message me until I respond. Who waits for me outside of my class as soon as I am done with my class. And is the same person who don’t let me be with my friends but stick to me 24 * 7.

"Liam, I’m getting scared of you." I spoke.

"What?" he asked.

"I...." I stuttered.

"Chloe, I love you so freaking much and you are saying you are scared of me? I didn’t expect that from you." he said like a complete psycho.

"Liam, let me go!!!"

"No, you need to get your punishment", he said and put a blind fold on me while tying my hand from behind.

"What are you doing?" I’m still trying to be calm.

"Nothing baby, just trying to warn you so that you will follow my rules from now on", he said and hit my feet.

I yelped as something hit my feet.

"It is nothing baby. You just need to count as many times you get hit like a good girl and I will let you off." as he said I didn’t. I object but he hit me with more pressure until my feet become swollen while I was a crying mess.

"Did you get the lesson?" he asked while I didn’t answer.

"I asked you something. You need to answer whatsoever", he warned me before making me flinch.

"So did you get your lesson?"

"Yeah, I did", I said and he loosened my blind fold as well my hand too. My hands were marked by the tight knot while it was tough for me to stand up straight.

I was somehow able to get out of the place when he let me go and reach home but no matter how much I tried I couldn’t get up from my bed for a week. As soon as I recovered, I went to college where I faced Emmy. She looked away but I stopped her.

"Chloe, what are you doing?" she started shouting.

"What am I doing? You are asking me this?" I asked.

"Yeah, I’m asking. Your boyfriend told us not to go near you or not to talk to you so leave my way or he will kill me." she said but I asked, "Who is the one who brings the person to my life?"

"Chloe, stop blaming me!!!" she said with arrogance.

"Blaming? Don’t make me laugh. Did I even ask you to get a boyfriend for me? Did I ask you to put your nose to my private matter? Then why the hell did you ruin my life? Why the hell did you make me live like a nightmare?" I’m trying to let out my frustration but she didn’t agree with mine.

"I did meet you with him. But I didn’t tell you to agree with him." I can’t believe she is putting all the blame on me.

How shameful she can be!!!!

"So, stop coming closer to me!!!" she said and left while soon I felt Liam’s hand wrapped around my neck like a snake giving me goosebumps.

***

Again?

I had the dream again?

Why?

Why? I keep having the same nightmare each time I want to forget.

I almost forget how I ended up getting myself out of the mess but I never forget the pain I have gone through. Sometimes he hit my sensitive places and sometimes he choked me, almost killing me. Sometimes he made me stay in a dark place while sometimes he didn’t let me touch food.

But still, I’m not sure how to get out of the place.

But then I remember I have to go to a place he called me. I don’t want to go but if I don’t then my life will be even more of a mess then before.

I got up from my bed and got ready. But as I went downstairs mom asked, "Where are you going?"

"I have a meeting", I answered.

"But it is already seven o’clock", he sounded worried but I convinced him and went to the address.

"You came?" he asked and took me inside a place where I saw a doctor.

"All prepared?" he asked the doctor.

"Yes", she replied.

"Chloe, lay in the bed", he said.

"No, what are you doing with me?" I asked.

"Didn’t I say I will get rid of the baby?" he said, giving me goosebumps. He sure said he hates this child but I didn’t know it means he will kill my baby.

"No, I will not let that happen." I retreat.

"Where are you going baby? You don’t want this dirty child inside you right? When I didn’t even touch you till now?" he came forward while I kept taking my steps back.

"No, it is not dirty", I still tried to say but something hit on my neck making me lose my consciousness.
