Riley's P.O.V
We watched the newest Transformers after our shower and it was amazing. We sat in the couples seats and shared a large popcorn, I felt so...nice inside. After the movie we got fro-yo and we just took a walk around the city...it was nice.
I honestly thought that this whole s*x slave thing was going to be the most horrible thing ever but if I hadn't been crying in that alley...I wouldn't have met the love of my life. Yes it's corny, but it's true, so damn true.
"Baby Boy." I heard Axel's sweet voice call. I looked up at him and hummed in response. "What are you thinking about?" He questioned as we continued walking down the street. I smiled at him sweetly before opening my mouth. "You." I said looking him in the eye. He smiled back and kissed me as we walked making me blush.
We got back to his apartment and there was a note on the door. Axel grabbed it in a hurry before opening the door for me. I walked in and looked at him as he read the note. His facial expression changed from happy to angry, his eyes became dark and his nose scrunched up in disgust. He looked at me and frowned before he hugged me.
The fabric covering my shoulder was becoming damp. He snuffled into my shoulder holding me closer to him. He's crying...oh my soul...Axel, crying. What the f**k is on that note?
I hugged back and rubbed his back. Something bad must've happened to make him cry, like something seriously bad. "Axel..." I whispered when he seemed to calm down. He hummed in response but kept his arms around me, rather tightly. "What's wrong?" I questioned lowly.
Axel pulled away from me and his eyes were puffy, his nose and cheeks red because of crying. I only become like that when I cry like the way I did in the alley way, I guess he isn't a loud crier. He handed me the note with a shaky hand and I took it.
Dear Darling Boy
You've been a very bad boy Axel. I know you're keeping poor little Riley from his family and they're looking for him. This sick thing you do with kids isn't right Axle, I could get you arrested Darling Boy. But I'm willing to make you a deal, get rid of the boy and come back to me and I won't call the cops, or tell his parents about you. If you can't get rid of him yourself, I'll do it for you. It's your decision really, but you're no fool...I trust you'll make the right choice.
Your Love
Johnny
My heart stopped as I read on. Who is Johnny and why does he want me gone...more importantly, why did he make Axel cry? I looked up at him and he was wiping tears from his eyes. "Baby Boy...I-I didn't want you to find out like this..." Axel trailed off looking disappointed. "How long has this been going on for?" I questioned, I was curious as to how many times this had happened during the time we were together.
I mean I wouldn't have cried if this were the first letter so obviously this must've been going on forever. "After we screwed for the first time...ever since then I guess." He said lowly. I felt so...I don't even know...like, hurt. I felt emotional pain, for a month this had been going on and he never told me. I told him everything the other day.
We said no secrets and here goes a secret, one he shares with me in a few words and not in detail. I didn't even want to know who this Johnny character was anymore, I didn't want to know why he wanted me gone or why his letter made Axel cry...I just wanted to go to bed, cry a little bit to.
I turned around and walked toward the bedroom then Axel's hand stopped me when I felt it on my shoulder. "Riley I'm sorry, I didn't want you to know because I didn't want you to worry." He said lowly. I shook his hand off and started walking away to prevent myself from crying in front of him, yes I've done it before but I just don't want to do it now.
"Baby Boy please don't ignore me." Axel said, almost in a stern kind of way. "I'm not ignoring you...I just, want to go to bed." I said as I continued to walk. "Riley," Axel said in an I'm-really-really-really-really-sorry tone. I sighed and turned around and looked at me.
"I told you the most difficult part of my life I could ever have and you couldn't even tell me about Johnny and his little obsession with you!" I shouted unwillingly. Axel stared wide-eyed at me and I shut my mouth regretting what I said.
"I never told you because I didn't want you to worry about it but I regret not telling you, I think you deserved sleepless nights because my ex-boyfriend wants you dead. I wish I told you to see you suffer the way the others did, but you know I thought you were different. I thought you'd understand that some secrets were just worth keeping from someone you love, I was going to f*****g tell you but I just got...distracted by you. The way you make me feel is incredible, no one has ever made me feel the ways you do. You're the best out of all of them, special, more lovable!" Axel shouted back with tears in his eyes.
I just looked at him in shock and blinked because I had nothing to say, my mouth was dry and my words got stuck in my throat. His expression changed from sadness to anger, I felt so bad. "Forget it." Axel said in anger before turning around and walking out the door, slamming it shut.
I just broke down right there and then, crying like a child because I'm such a screw up.
