Chapter 20: Jackpot!
I must find a way to get out of here before Skyler does something to Alissa's brother.
I started to look for things to help me get out once again.
I looked everywhere to find a way out when my sight reached the chain.
!!?
One of the parts of the chain was a little broken, if I hit it hard enough a couple of times with hard object, it might break open.
But the problem was that there was no hard object within my reach. I tried to break it with my hands, but it was of no use. Just when I was going to lose hope Skyler walked in, he was holding a tray with the usual food he used to bring.
The tray in his hand. It should have something I could use.
I just have to stand up at the right moment…
Right when Skyler was about to scrunch down to put the tray, I got up in a rush.
My head crashed with the tray he was holding and made him unbalance, making the tray fall down and everything which was on the tray scatter.
Jackpot!
But Skyler was also unbalanced, and the chain tangled with my foot which also made me unbalanced. As a result, I fell on top of Skyler along with the food which was in the tray.
"Ugh my head"
I scratched my head as I looked down.
Shit…
Skyler looked furious; I kid you not I could see the fire coming out from behind him. Guess it was one of those bad moods now.
*whack*
He hit me on my face so hard that it made my head spin a little.
"DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH? WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING"?
Ok he is angry I have to do something.
I looked at the side of my foot, there it was! The fork was there! Now I just had to distract Skyler and hide the fork.
I looked at Skyler trying to look as seductive as I could.
"I just wanted to do you first".
I said this as I grabbed the fork with my one foot and used the other foot to put the fork under my pant leg.
Skyler looked at me, his expression not changing.
Shit please just fall for it.
He then changed his expression to a sweet smile.
Wait it worked!
By now I had slid the fork fully in my pant leg.
"Alex…who do you think you are".
Shit…
He grabbed my neck and pinned me against the wall.
"You don't disrespect me and act seductive you get it?"
His tone of speaking went low as he clenched his grip tighter.
"Skyler I'm sorry, I can't breathe! please!"
His nail pierced through my skin.
"Ugh!! I'm sorry I'm sorry I'll clean it!" I said as I preached in pain.
I cannot breathe, I'm going to die.
He clenched me for about 2 minutes straight.
Im-im losing consciousness.
Just when I was going to lose my consciousness, he let go of me and threw me to the side.
"This is the last time I'm leaving you. I am taking care of you as if you're a child and you're misbehaving as if you really are one. You're really acting like a scrawny dog!" he said furiously as he went out, slamming the door behind him.
I gasped for air the moment he walked out. It truly felt like I was going to die.
"at-at least it worked"
I gathered all the utensils which were scattered in front of me, so that when Skyler come back, he would just take the things I gather, and hopefully not notice the missing fork.
Skyler did come back eventually to get the utensils. He took the utensils and walked back, it seemed he did not notice the fork missing. I felt relived at the thought.
But he almost immediately came back as he went out.
Did-did he notice…what do I do!! shit! he probably noticed.
He rushed towards me and sat down in front of me.
He then pulled out an ointment from his pocket.
"Turn around" he ordered me. I did as he said and turned around.
He then proceeded to put the ointment on the wounds he just gave to me.
Is this one of the personality disorders again?
This was the first time in weeks, Skyler was touching me again lightly like this.
His touch still felt very hot.
When was the last time he touched me this gently? Was it back on the cliff? Probably it was.
I wished the fact that he was a murderer would just vanish.
flashbacks of the times Skyler and I spent our times together before all this came to my mind.
I genuinely had feelings for this guy, I was feeling myself falling in love with him in those moments. But now…what now? Can I still feel the same way about him now?
I turned around to see his face, his face was so relaxed, so beautiful, shinning behind him was the moonlight which added to the beauty on his face.
*badum*
Wait no. he is not the same guy I liked; he is not the guy who I wanted to be with. The Skyler I liked is long dead now.
All the realities made their way inside my head again, but the fact that my heart still skips a beat when I look at Skyler, was nothing but a fact. Still, I convinced myself it was just a phase at that time.
All this will be over soon when I'll stop meeting him. I just need to get rid of this chain and stay away from him, after that I'll just remember Skyler as a bad memory.
I can save Alissa's brother, and maybe work things out with her too.
I put all types of thoughts in my head to distract myself.
When I felt a sharp pain on my neck.
"Ouch!" my voice came out as Skyler put the ointment to the area where his nails left a wound.
"I'm sorry". His voice sounded sad. I felt something fall on my back.
I turned around, Skyler's head was placed on my back, it looked like he was really bumped out.
"I'm not a bad guy" he said in a sad voice.
He then looked up; his face was so close to mine. I could not keep my eyes off of his long lashed and light eyes. And it looked like neither could he.
We looked into each other for some time. In the end, I was the one to break the eye contact.
This is no good.
I just turned my face to the front again. I didn't turn around but I felt Skyler getting up from his spot and leaving.
Why am I disappointed….
