Joan’s POV

The night was excruciatingly long. At first, I thought I could sleep through the voices that haunted me, but I couldn't, and it became worse when Isaac slept. The silence was loud, and it bugged my mind so much that I stayed up all night, just thinking of where I might have gone wrong, why I ran away so early, mom would be so worried, what if he hurt her, what if she died, I wouldn’t have anywhere to go.

And why am I here? , I became so close to him that it irked my thoughts, but then he was nothing but pure kindness, and I should have liked it, but I didn’t.

The morning time came too early, and soon Isaac was up and staring at me while I pretended to sleep. He went out, then came back again. “I know you are not sleeping; you don’t have to pretend,” he said. My eyes shot open as I curiously watched his unfazed expression.

“How did you know?” I asked in hopes of his reply being something utterly cliche, but it wasn't; instead, he said. "I was watching the cameras earlier and

    Fredericks POV“Where could she be? I don’t know. I am calling everyone; no one knows her whereabouts." Joan’s mother said, panicking as she paced backwards and forward for the past hour. She had cried so much that her eyes were now red, and her nose as well.“She will be fine; you know, kids, they are just paranoid; she will come back,” dad said, trying to coax her, but she rebuffed. "If anything happens to her, I won’t forgive myself; I should have consoled her, but no, you told me not to; you told me you would do so. Now she ran away.” Back and forth, they argued about her reason for running out in the middle of the night.On the other hand, I was not feeling myself anymore; my heart is beating so fast, yet my body felt too weak to move, sweat bead trickling down my body. I could think of a lot of places and scenes that she might be in, but none of them seemed to be coming into play.“Find her; stop telling me that; I need to find a report for a missing person.”“You know you can’t

    Joan’s POVAt first, I thought it was a prank when he held my hands and insisted that I don’t tell my family all that was happening here, until he pulled me up the bad stairs with a smiley face, took my phone, and then locked me out.I have been here for a couple of hours without hearing a sound; I didn’t see his mother or any treatment like I was promised; I had banged on the door; then it was soundproof; nothing happened; no one came; I had no means of going out; and it made me think of so many bad things.I had known Isaac to be calm, sweet, and always quick to apologize; he must have a reason to lock me in here. I gave myself reasons to sit and wait till he came, till minutes turned to hours and shouts became like centuries.The sun was up, so was anxiety; it was already afternoon, and he wasn’t back. All through the day, I saw Jones holding Mom by the neck. I couldn’t stay away from the house; he would kill her. What was I thinking when I ran?I needed to leave; I couldn’t be con

    Joan’s POV He pulled himself up with my hands then kissed my knuckle, and just being this close to him I could spot the scars that were too fotunate to heal, all around his face it wasn’t the first time he scratched his face this much.It wasn’t the first time he had such break down, it wasn’t the first time for anything, and it petrified me, my legs subconsciously moved backwards and he pulled me back again in a hug, “ I fantasized about this day, I can’t let you go”“Please just stay with me, I will give you whatever you want, just stay with me, we will travel anywhere” with the way he spoke, I could tell his obsessiveness but it was too early to be obsessed, it was too early to be in his house in the first place, too early to yes to a boy who took me out of two dates and I barely knew anything about him aside he was wealthier than I was and good looking.“Promise to stay with me, I promise you won’t regret it, I will tell mom you chose to stay, and you won’t get to stay and tolera

    Joan’s POVA wall full of pictures, my pictures plastered in his closet, all of which were unexpected pictures of me in class, with Anna, on my way to the bathroom, being bullied by Fred while I was eating in the cafeteria, and then both of us eating lunch on our first day.Everything was there; my mouth was ajar, and I had no words to say. Some of the events that were plastered on this wall I had long forgotten, and somehow he had all of them.Who is he?.Why does he have my pictures?.Walking closer to it, my heart palpitating like I was in a lion race, there was so much going on here than I could counter for, and Isaac wasn’t just a sweet boy who happened to be afraid that I would leave; he was obsessed with me, and it didn’t start now. Looking further into the closet, I saw a pile of notes and sticky papers on the walls of his closet.‘She smelt nice today'‘I don’t like Fredrick Walter; he touches her too much’‘She wore my favourite colour of underwear'My heart skipped a beat.

    Joan’s POVI hated that I felt an ounce of guilt, but I did it for myself.“Can I leave now?” I asked, standing as he wanted to leave the room, but he just nodded and walked out. I had never seen him that shaken in all the time that I knew him, but then I only knew him for a very short time, and maybe it wasn’t a new thing to him.You know, people leave him when he displays psychotic patterns, and I wouldn’t be called bad if I decided to save my life first, and it was exactly what I was going to do. I looked around for anything I could grab and saw the bags and shoes he had. I didn’t want to take anything like that from him.Even though he didn’t say it plainly, I knew our twilight relationship was over and we were back to being strangers, but I didn’t care; I just wanted my life back.But it won’t be like it was before; I had nowhere to go except home, so it’s either I made it comfortable enough or I apply for a foster home, or worse, I go to the police with mom out of the house.I t

    Joan’s POVMy body trembled at the feeling of his lips on mine. Gently, he kissed me all the way down to my neck.“Why did you run away?” He kissed me again, this time leaning gently on me with my back against the bed. He traced his lips down to my core.I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss him. The way he made my body feel, and truth be told, I felt embarrassed, so I pushed him away from me. My life was already messed up as it was, and I ran away because of this. I couldn’t come back to it again.“Why are your hormones always on the verge with me? Fuck off; don’t you dare come close to me," I mouthed.“But_”“No, and you want to know why I ran out? I couldn’t take all this. You, mom, all of you are making my life hell. I am the victim here, and none of you are seeing this.He made an attempt to hold me again, and I pushed him out. “It’s not what you think; I am sorry if I made you uncomfortable, but I was just worried. I was only worried about you, Joan, but if it made you run to

    Fredericks POVI knew I shouldn’t be offended, not at the very least that she wanted me for sex—can you imagine that?—and the way she altered the word, like it was at ease on the verge of being spoken.‘Just sex’, that was all I was to her, ‘just sex’ so I went out of my way, all the long days and nights, going to the station and getting myself embarrassed before that twap of a boyfriend, and all I did it for was sex!Who was I kidding? It was way more than just lying with her; I wanted her all to myself, and I couldn’t give a name to it. I didn’t want to admit it either, but she got me googling how I felt and why I felt that way, and it wasn’t about sex.A day without her felt like my life was being sucked out of me. I had so many scenarios in my mind, even to the extent of browsing about aliens and missing people, that I went rogue! Fuckin rogue!I had lust for so many women, and I knew what lust felt like, but what I had with Joan was way more than sex; why couldn’t she see that?

    Joan’s POVI couldn’t have Fred and Isaac in the same room. I knew Fred so much; he was short-tempered, and the display in the classroom clarified it: he was going to hurt Isaac. I should have known and avoided it somehow, but after our conversation last night, it was like an open signal telling me he was going to do something totally stupid.Now, on the other hand, Isaac barely spoke to me about what had happened between us the previous day; instead, he came back as sweet as ever, with a rose flower, which was stupid; he threatened my life; he knew I was aware of his obsession with me and his freaky psychopathic display when things didn’t go his way; and both of them were stuck in the same class for three hours.I had to do something to stop my social life from coming to a complete halt, and the best thing to do at the moment was to pick a fight with Anna. I knew she was the wrong person for the job, and give me the fact that it was unexpected, but I just had to do it; otherwise, I w

    Joan’s POV“You can take a look now,” the makeup artist said, turning the drafting chair so I stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was left speechless, and she placed the veil on my head, making my heart jitter.It looked so beautiful. I looked this beautiful, and it was a surprise to me at my wedding that I wouldn’t see my reflection till the final touch, just staring at the final touch.“Do you like it?” She said, patting my cheek with a makeup brush.“It’s perfect"“Well, I hope the groom is more shocked than you because you look stunned," she said, and with a fine touch, she kissed my forehead.It was my wedding day, and I had been up since 5 a.m., but it was worth it; the look was perfect.Few hours from now, Fred and I would be arriving in the church to exchange our vows before the reception, and even after so much planning, I still felt a knot in my belly, my heart pounding and my hands itching to be held by him.I imagined what he would look like and what his reaction woul

    TWO YEARS LATERJoan’s POVThe weather seemed so cold today. I stretched my hands to feel his body, but it's nowhere to be found—not even close enough after rolling to the edge of the bed.“Baby,” I whispered, yet nothing at all"Babe, where are you?"Yet it was all so quiet. I waited a little; maybe he went to the bathroom. Looking at the side of the bed, it’s just 6 a.m. in the morning, so he either went for a run or would be back soon, so I waited, but it clocked nine and I was still on the bed.It’s a Saturday, and not just like every Saturday, it’s my birthday. I had expected him to wake me up with kisses and maybe good morning sex, but no, he chose to go out instead. I felt so disappointed in him.Picking up my phone I called him, but his phone was ringing, and he wasn’t answering. Fred was a sucker for his smartphone; he only slept two inches away from it every night, so I could swear that he saw my calls and heard all my endless voice messages, and he chose to ignore them.It

    Fredericks POV“Never!”Dad turned immediately, shooting the first person who was unfortunate enough to be at the mercy of the pistol.George….“No!"Rushing towards him, I yanked the gun from his hands and pointed it at him.“Frederick, don’t shoot him; he can’t run anywhere now." George, who had just been shot in the arm, said he was bleeding on the floor and had now been carried away by the paramedics.Then I stared back at this embarrassment of a father. He held a smug look on his face as she stared deadpan at me.“You don’t have what it takes to pull the trigger; you think having balls like a man makes you any stronger; no, it doesn't; do your worst; you are just like me anyway.""Never; I am nothing like you; I never will be." I yelled, forbidding whatever he said. I had fought too much to remove that thought from my mind. I didn’t waste money on so much therapy just so he could look me in the eye and call me a replica.I was nothing like my father—nothing at all.“Fight it all

    Joan’s POVAfter mom's surgery, we were to go home and probably come to pay her regular visit, but that wasn’t the only good thing that had happened.Fred and I left the hospital and went back home, just to hear West crying. It was concerning, given the fact that Lisa should be consoling him, but he was banging on the door and crying bitterly when Fred and I pulled up at the house.“Hey baby, I am coming,” I said, rising towards the door and hitting on it so Lisa would open the door. I hoped she didn’t vent her anger on the little child who did absolutely nothing to cause her this much misery, but it seemed she wasn’t going to open the door, so Fred called her, endlessly hoping she would open the door but still doing the same thing.“Did she lock us out for good? You gave her the house, didn’t you?”“Yes, but is it not too quick to throw us out? I mean, I have things in there too." We started off by calling her name and banging on it even more. But it's still the same thing.“Move asi

It's already morning, like most of the morning we had in this house. I wasn’t prepared to stand; I just wanted to survive the day while doing absolutely nothing.But it was mom's surgery; she needed me there.

Get your head straight for once in your life, would you?"“Is mom okay? Where is she? What happened to my mother?" I yelled, pulling his collar. If anything were to happen to mom, I wouldn’t survive past today, and I made him know that with the way I reacted.“She’s fine, just a little seizure, and the surgery commences tomorrow, so we have to be there tomorrow unfailingly in the morning, and here you are, blaming me for taking time to see our mother; you are just, ahh, what will I do with you?”“Don’t talk to me like that; how would I have known?" I whined, feeling the pain of guilt down my chest; the liquor I had taken quenched, and my little uproar of courage died. I found myself wanting to cry again, but my eyes were tired, and if they had a mind of their own, I bet they would purge out of the socket. I had cried way too much today, b
