KatieWhen I felt the van slow to a stop, I started screaming with all the air left in my lungs. My chest ached as little black and red spots danced in front of my eyes, but I kept screaming even after my throat was raw. “Shut up!” Ryan howled. He climbed out of the driver’s seat and held up the Taser in one hand. “Shut the f**k up! Do you want someone to f*****g hear you!” “Yes!” I sobbed. “Yes, I want someone to hear me. Help me!” I shrieked as loudly as I could. “Help! Please! Someone!” Ryan backhanded me across the face. I tasted blood. Spitting on the floor of the van, I stared at him defiantly. “You think you’re doing something good,” I said calmly. “But you’re ruining my life, and yours too if you keep doing this, Mr. Winter.” I shuddered. I hated calling him that. Ryan grinned
