Lucas stared at you with his brown eyes. He was shaking, you were shaking, it was a mess. He watched as you slowly scooted closer to Adam.

"(Y-y/n) come here," Lucas cooed.

You violently shook your head. He quirked an eyebrow. No?

"Why?"

You opened your mouth to say something, but stopped.

Just keep your mouth shut, and you'll be safe.

You just shook your head no again. Lucas just got more pissed. He lunged towards you, grabbing your face in one hand and forcing you to look at him.

"It r-rude to not an-answer a question," he said a bit louder.

You felt the tears brim your eyes as he shook your face.

"I'm scared," you mumbled.

But Lucas heard. Lucas heard, and it broke his heart.

"T-there's no n-need to be scared," he said as he quickly let go of your face.

"I-I promise I won't hurt you!"

"You almost fucking killed him!" You shouted, pushing him away.

Lucas stumbled back, hands over his ears.

"Shut up!" He screamed at you.

You, in turn, flinched back.

"S-shut up shut up shut u-up!"

Your tears flowed even more as the boy continued his screams. You pressed Adam closer to you.

"I d-did it to pr-protect y-ou," he cried.

"I-I'm not a bad person! I s-swear!"

He crawled towards you, slowly. You closed your eyes and leaned back. His cold hand brushed against your cheek.

He used his thumb to wipe away tears.

"I won't h-hurt you, so please."

You squeezed your eyes shut even more, clutching Adam as if your life depends on it.

"P-please," you whispered.

"Please just leave us alone! I'll quit bullying you. I'll do anything! But please stop this!"

There was an agonizing silence that followed your statement. Then shuffling was heard.

"So you'll kill Adam?"

It was cold, and brief. It made your blood turn to ice.

"What?" You muttered.

"You sa-said you'd do anything," Lucas said with a stone cold face.

"I'll leave you a-alone."

You violently shook your head.

"Are you fucking insane?!"

The brown eyes boy frowned. His eyebrows furrowed.

"I-I'll never mess with you a-agin if you kill h-him."

You once again shook your head.

"No!"

He let out a grunt of disappointment.

"(Y/n)," a groggy voice spoke up.

Both you and Lucas snapped your heads towards Adam.

"I'm a piece of shit," he whispered not loud enough for Lucas to hear.

You let out a small laugh as you cried. Replying just as quiet.

"Yeah, you kinda are."

"Please, just go. I deserve this, but I want you to get out of here," he whispered quietly.

"What, no!" You shouted.

"He'll fucking kill you."

You cried as Adam weakly raised a hand up, caressing your cheek.

"I shouldn't even be able to look at you right now. I caused you a lot of pain. Take this as a way of getting back at me."

"Adam, I'm not fucking leaving you here!" You shouted.

Lucas just glared at the two of you. His hands clenched into fists, causing veins to pop.

"(Y/n), get the fuck out of here. Go get the police," Adam said.

"If I die, at least I'll die knowing you got out of this mess."

You let a few more tears escape your eyes as you cradled Adam for a few more moments. This was it. You had to get out of there. You grabbed his hand, gently rubbing it.

"It'll be okay," he whispered.

"Now go."

And so you did. You set his head on the ground, and ran. Your legs pumped as fast as they could. You weren't a huge fan of running, but if you had to, you would. And now was one of those moments. You heard yelps from behind you. Adam letting out a few more cries before he got quiet. You let out a whimper as the silence grew longer and longer. And then it wasn't too quiet anymore.

"(Y-y/n), get back here!"

You pumped your legs harder.

"Leave me alone you psycho!" You screamed.

His footsteps approached quickly. And just as you were about to round the blocks corner, it was all over. A thin rope was wrapped around your neck from behind. You tried to slip your hands under it, but it was pressed too close. Wait a second, that wasn't a rope. We're those....a pair of your missing shoelaces. A scream erupted from your throat, shredding it to pieces.

"Help!" You screeched, but no one heard.

It didn't help that this part of town wasn't too occupied. Just some cheap apartments here and there. Most people didn't want to be involved in others business as well.

"Sh-shut up!" Lucas seethed.

You cried as he shoved you forward, busting your forehead on the cement. He placed a knee on the middle of your back, pressing you down so you couldn't move. He slowly slid the shoelace down to your wrists, tying them up quickly. You squirmed under him, and he, without shame, got a hard-on. One day, you'll be just like this again. Squirming under him only hopefully, in pleasure. He let out a breathy moan as he picked your still form up, throwing it over his shoulder.

"D-dont worry (y/n). Once I p-patch you up w-we'll be able to h-have some fun," he said quietly.

He walked back towards his apartment, grabbing Adam by his near-lifeless collar, dragging him behind himself. With the click of his key you were sealed away.

These next six months we're going to be a living hell.

. . . . . .

Me: *slowly opens door hugging my blanket* "....heyy."

Yall: "...care to explain."

Me: "it's a long story."

Yall: *sits down at luxurious mahogany table, slowly sipping tea* "We have all day"

I feel ashamed for not updating, and I have no excuse not too. I have just been super burned out these past few weeks, they've been really full. I'm so sorry for keeping y'all waiting, and I'll try my best to upload at least once every two weeks. Main reason I didn't upload for a while was family were visiting for two weeks. After they left I got really sick. I couldn't eat for almost three days straight. I ended up passing out several times, and almost got sent to the hospital. I'm fine now, but it still happens sometimes, just not as severely. I hope you all can understand why I have been gone for so long, and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you all for sticking around, and being supportive. You have no idea how much it makes my day
