Where am I?

Tiara

I groaned slowly, opening my eyes, squinting, almost wishing I hadn't opened my eyes. I scanned the room, but I didn't recognize it. Had Shaun finally lost the plot and taken me away from everything and the person I'd come to rely on and even trust?

Cameron.

s**t what had happened to Cameron? I hadn't seen him since Shaun had dragged me back to the mansion, the place I couldn't even call home because I knew it wasn't. I wasn't even family to him. He'd made that quite clear when his bitchy two-faced sister was sitting.

Did I mean that little to him? He'd forced me to stay with him through the last two years of high school and then college.

I had finally escaped from his clutches for a whole four years thanks to Stacey and Jacob. I couldn't have asked for better friends than them. Then he found me again, and yet again, Stacy saved my ass from making the biggest mistake of my life by marrying Shaun Thomas: My Bully.

I was only doing it to save her from his wrath, but yet again, she saved me from him with the help of her now-husband, Kristian.

We fled to Australia, and we were all happy for six months. At least until Shaun had found me again and taken me without consent. Where are my so-called friends now? Nowhere, that's where.

All I could see were four white walls and the smell of disinfectant which made me want to gag. "Where am I?" I croaked out.

"Angel, you're awake?"

I recognized that voice anywhere, though I hadn't seen him since college. I knew that voice anywhere. "Recce." I cracked out.

"Here." He said, passing me a glass of water. I took it off him and gulped it down. "Thanks."

He smiled, placing it down. He got closer to me, brushing the back of his hand down my face, almost lovingly. "I was so scared I thought I was going to lose you. Shaun sure did a number on you."

s**t, Shaun, if he knew I had run again he would kill me for sure this time. "Where am I?"

"In the hospital, angel, you blacked out from the blood loss."

"I have to go back, Reece. If he thinks I've run, he'll kill me for sure this time. Please take me back."

"Shh. It's okay, angel. He won't find you. I promise."

"Take me back Reece!" I shouted, angrily.

"Calm down angel, you're safe here. "

"Don't you get it? Recce I'm not safe anywhere he'll find me and make my life a thousand times worse than it already is."

"No, he won't. You have to trust me."

"I can't Recce, take me home now!"

He nodded, and the nurse came over with a needle. Hell no.

"What's that?"

"It will help you relax, angel."

"No, no, leave me alone! I don't want to relax, leave me the f**k alone!" I screamed, thrashing about.

Reece grabbed me by the arms, pushing me down on the bed. Holding me securely to it. "I'm sorry Angel, but I have no choice. You need to relax. We'll talk once you are."

"I need to get to Domenic. He needs to know he'd been double-crossed."
