Story Of Us

Chapter-21

SEPTEMBER'S POV

" Why don't you just kill me? Wouldn't it be much easier?" I asked, simply in frustrated tone.

The corner of his lips twitched into faint smirk as he increases the speed limit. I clenched my fingers tightly over my seat belt and held my breath, now feeling the sheer terror of his car which he was driving with a insanely furious speed.

" Killing you wouldn't be much fun than witnessing this sweet sweat roll down your forehead." He wiped the sweat from my forehead and leaned in to press a kiss on my cheek... Wait whom am I fooling? He didn't pressed just a kiss instead he had used his sharp teeth to bit on my flesh.

Bloody Vampire.

" You better concentrate on driving instead of....ZACHARY..SLOW DOWN." I screamed when he increased the pace way more than before.

" Say that you love me." He said.

" f**k you." I spat.

" In which position?" He smirked.

My face turned beet red at his vulgar word. So to avoid him, I simply closed my eyes and prayed for my safety in the car of this psycho.

Week. It's been one hell of a torturous week since we returned from beach house and trust me I've never felt this much emotionless. All the feelings inside me had drained enough to make me numb. Any time I've to say 'love you' to him, whenever he wishes to hear those words. I have no clue that why he was being this obsessed with that word. After all he's f-cking Zachary Wilson who wants s*x and only s*x.

A low chuckle escaped my lips when I remembered the 'fake acts' he had played with Claire by acting as if he adores her when in reality it wouldn't hesitate him much to kill her. This man is more pathetic than terrorism.

And for f-ck's sake, I was having soft corner for him when I saw the connection between him and Claire that was obviously fake from his side.

What hurts me most was the fact that he had gave false hope to Claire. That little girl had believed all his lies. It's been a week too since I have last seen her. Actually I was not allowed to meet anyone except staying beside the criminal who had made me his personal doll by forcing me to sang out loud 'I love you' to him.

" September you want me to kill-" I snapped my head in his direction and quickly shook my head.

" I love you." Mumbling, I pushed the dry lump down my throat.

He smiled and tapped his finger over steering wheel before turning on the radio.

Animals of maroon 5 blasted through the speakers making me cringe in distaste. I stuffed my index fingers in both of my ears and turned my face to look out of the window.

" Baby I'm prying you tonight, hunt you down and chew alive...Just like animals-"

He started mouthing the lyrics in an excessively annoying voice.

I let out a small huff in irritation and turned to offer him my best death glare but like he was ever going to act decent. He passed a half smirk and increased the volume of radio.

" Were. Are. We. Going?" I asked, emphasising on each word.

" To hell."

I scoffed at his reply and decided to play the ignore game with him. So next all I did was to close my eyes shut and fill my mind with the memories of my once fairy tale life.

FLASHBACK

" Cupcake, I have a question for you."

Chris spoke, sprawling on the bed and pausing the F.R.I.E.N.D.S playing on the screen.

I threw curses at him but at last agreed to listen whatever he has to say. I lay next to him with my eyes still fixed on the screen and waiting impatiently to watch the show.

" What qualities do you want in your future husband?" He asked.

I looked at him as if he had grown two heads but the serious look on his face reflected that he did wanted to know the answer.

" Umm..Uh..Let me think."

" You've got five minutes to think." He narrowed his eyes and stuffed the bagel inside his mouth.

I made a face but instead of throwing some sarcastic reply, I actually began to think about the qualities.

" He should be a cold hearted motherf-cker, right?" He laughed, throwing a piece of leftover bagel at me.

My nose flared in temper at his fowl language but by paying him no attention, I played the F.R.I.E.N.D.S again.

Joey was bickering about something but before I was able to smile at his silly behavior, Chris once again paused the show.

Now my blood boiled and for a good minute all I saw was red.

" CHRIS." I screamed, trying to snatch the remote for him but he simply shook his head.

" Why the f-ck are you dating him?" He roared, getting all serious and throwing the remote on the floor.

I flinched a little and the skin between my eyebrows scurried up.

" I know that you went out with Hunter." He stressed, showing the images of me and Hunter in amusement park.

Uh no. So he has finally figured out that I've been dating Hunter.

" I am seventeen and I can date whomever I want plus Hunter is sweet." I defended.

" Sweet my ass." He grumbled and walked out of the room.

Shrugging my shoulders, I replayed the TV and let my mind go blank for a good hour or two.

FLASHBACK ENDS

My lips curled up at those memories which now are my only way of escaping pain. I've never thought in my wildest dream that one such day will come when I'll be all heads over heel for Hunter and my Chris will accept him, wholeheartedly.

"What the f-ck are you thinking?" An irritating voice echoed in the back of my head.

I rolled my eyes and was about to close my eyes when he stopped the car and gestured me to come out.

With a hint of confusion on my face, I left the car and averted my eyes on the nearby surrounding. Strange. Why it felt like I've already came here? The dark trees, empty roads, silent sky, scented smell of candle and flowers.

" Where are we?" I asked, now looking straight into his direction.

For a second, his lips twitched in discomfort before he hide it with a tainted smirk. "You'll see, wifey."

Right. I will see something dreadful, I am sure about it.

" Do you want to know something?" He asked.

I shook my head.

" Not when I tell you the reason behind drastic death-murder of your beloved family?" He raised his eyebrows.

All of sudden, air knocked out of my lungs and I couldn't help but looked into his eyes which were burning in nothing but pure emptiness.

Do I want to know?

No. I don't.

His reason will break my already crushed heart and I no longer have enough strength to remind myself about their deaths.

" I was-" I covered his mouth with my palm to stop him from saying anything which I no longer wish to here.

He kissed my palm which made my reflexes to pull my hand back. " Don't. Don't say a single word." I snapped.

The sound of his hollow chuckle send wake of shivers through my skin.

" Okay I won't but Mrs. Wilson let me tell you something interesting." He clasped my wrist and push me where my back hit the car.

Gasping, I tried to get away but he leaned closer till our nose started touching each other.

The shade of his eyes darkened and it instantly reminded me one of those times in childhood when I used to be scared of demons and ghosts. His eyes are nothing but a portal to all the haunting memories.

" You look absolutely sexy when you're scared." He laughed, maintaining a distance between us.

For a second, all I did was to stare him before I realized that he hadn't blurted out anything which I was scared to hear. A breath of relief passed but there was something in me which was sure that he was definitely up to something which is going to hurt me beyond repair.

" Come doll, let's walk to our destination." He clasped my wrist and started taking baby steps towards somewhere, I had no idea about.

" Zachary?" I called out his name in worry when my eyes caught the haunting sight.

My body went stiff and automatically my steps froze in middle.

No. No. This can't be happening.

I started struggling to breath as all the memories started hitting me which was nothing but a burning salt to my wounds which he had given to me.

" Ta da." He faked a smile and pulled me to enter inside the place where everything is suffocating.

My heart sank and fingers started shaking in panic.

" I will die, Zachary." I whispered, looking straight into his eyes.

A wicked smile crossed his face as he leaned to press a kiss on my forehead.

" Then die." He added.

I cleared my throat and tugged on to his shoulder for begging him but he ignored my state.

" Please don't do this to me. I won't be able to survive this." I pushed the words to come out of my mouth somehow.

But instead of anything, he pushed me further and interlocked his fingers with mine. I bit on my lips till it started bleeding and tried my best to not move forward but very easily, he kept me moving.

" P..Please.. Z-Zachary."

I blinked the tears when he cast a look at me. His eyes held contact with mine for a split second before he wiped my tears with his rough thumb. " Your tears won't be able to melt me." He broke the itching silence.

I nodded, being numb to react in any way. No matter how hard I try, I know there's no escape. Zachary will force me to face something which will only crush me.

This place is where, I had tried my best to avoid because I knew that all those broken memories will come alive once I see them.

" Well done Zachary. You've found my breaking point." I breathed out.

" I know." And all he did was to offer that smile which was nothing but a sign of storm.
