Sweet Obsession chapter 27
I'd never felt as though I had a bad relationship with floors. Four times out of ten I'd choose to sit on the floor rather than my bed, there was never any reasoning behind it, it was just something I had done. But now, as I sat here, on this floor, I couldn't help but hold a feeling of resentment towards the inanimate object.The agony it caused my body seemed to be never ending. But then again, I was deflecting. It wasn't about the floor, it wasn't even about Noah. It was about me. Because some twisted, demented part inside of me was praying Noah would just give me a physical punishment. Anything that would get me out of this torture, in my mind if Noah punished me, at least he would be communicating with me in some way. And that seemed so much better than this.All I had was his silence, and the gut wrenching feeling of his disappointment that lingered in the air, suffocating me. The only thing keeping me company was the screeching of my thoughts, bouncing around inside my head.Du

Whining at the pain in my head, I begrudgingly forced my eyes open. Taking a moment to regather consciousness, I sit staring at the bathroom door. Sitting. Staring. Waiting. Imagining what it would be like if the ceiling collapsed down on me right now. That would be nice, I would like that very much.Letting out a frustrated grunt I stomped over to the bathroom. My bladdery-needs forgotten once I catch a glimpse of the red skin on my neck. I recoiled as my fingers traced over the raw flesh. I hadn't realised how tight his grip was last night being too busy losing consciousness from the injection. The injection....This little shit stabbed me with his drug stick. Overcome with anger I stormed out of the room, hyping myself up to give him a piece of my mind. Maybe throw some hands. Making sure my feet made an excessive amount of noise as I trudged towards the sound of his voice. He was in the kitchen, perfect, more weapon choice for me.Shoving myself into the kitchen door, hand raised,

"You look beautiful"I could practically hear Noah's voice as he mouthed the words to me, his face full of excitement as he beamed proudly at me. I could feel my heart clench in pain as I stared at him, looking so happy, so like him. My head felt light at all the attention on us, one wrong move and everybody would see.The guests were all silent as they waited in anticipation for the priest to begin speaking. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness this man and woman join together in holy matrimony." I couldn't hear much over the sound of my heart thrumming in my chest, my body kicking into a panic mood as Noah signaled it was my turn to speak. I really needed to start paying attention.Following the lead of the priest, I tried to keep the shakiness from my voice. "I, Embry Thompson, take you, Noah Hill, for my lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part. I wi

"I won't make a promise I know I can't keep"I kept silent as he guided me back towards the table, I couldn't think of anything to say that could possibly make me feel better after that. It seemed anytime I was finally enjoying myself or felt the slightest bit of happiness it was ripped from me.I could feel the tears sting at my eyes but I couldn't cry, not here, not now. Sitting down in my previous seat, my vision followed Noah as he crouched down in front of me, resting his hands on my knees."I'm sorry little bug, I didn't mean to upset you on your special day" he stroked the fabric resting on my knee, his other hand reaching up to stroke the skin of my cheek. "B-but, when you love someone you don't hurt them, you-you're meant to want to protect them from all the hurt in the world, do you, do you not love me anymore?" I sniffled.I could see the flash of pain pass through his eyes as his they flitted to the floor below us. "It's the only way I've ever been taught to show love, thr

Noah's POV."You know, if I say no to this and you still make me do it, you're no better than Justin."I watched in distaste as her cheek made contact with my hand. That little bitch. I immediately shook such vulgar words describing my pretty baby out of my mind. She was just scared and reacting. Poor little girl just needs guidance, that is why we are so perfect for each other.She got a little lost while I was in prison and now when she acts out it's just out of fear of losing me. Of course! Glancing in her direction, I note the way she so gently placed her hand against her now red cheek, her tears blurring her vision. My pretty little flower, all so vulnerable just for my eyes.I scowled as I thought of the driver laying his eyes upon her in such a state. Such pain should only be there for me to bask in, she breathes for me, she smiles for me, she cries for me, she hurts for me, and for me alone. Luckily he was concentrating on the road, good, I wouldn't want to put a bullet in his

*Flashforward*I could taste the sourness of the bile in my mouth, begging to be expelled. But I was frozen, what had I done? The warm sensation of his blood against my skin made me want to scrub off the top layer of skin. I stared wide eyed at his lifeless body. Oh god. Running to the bathroom, I made it just in time to expel the contents of my stomach.Crawling back to where his body lay, I curled up in a ball on the floor, sticking to the corner not wanting to be sitting in the pool of blood, letting my tears run loose. My sobs unmercifully rang out through the apartment as I kept my eyes glued onto the gun that I had just fired.I had killed him.*Present time*(Embry POV)There was a strong sense of Deja-vu as the similar burning of my lungs and muscles made themselves known. After this I swear I'm never exercising again. I internally screamed for joy seeing a town coming up so close after only having run for about three minutes.This was an impulsive decision I'll admit, and it

(Embry's POV)Slowly handing the phone back to the man, Sebastian's words were spinning around my mind. I loved Evelyn but she really did raise some odd sons. A sense of determination filled me, not quite enough to block out my fear but enough to not have me running back groveling for Noah's forgiveness."Put these on, and take this" the man seated beside me gruffly said, handing me a bundle of clothes and a folded up piece of paper. "But, I thought I was safe, why do I need a disguise?""There's a slim chance Noah could station his own men at public transport entrances, so just to be safe, follow the address on that map and expect random calls from Sebastian." Unfolding the sheet of paper, I realised it was in fact a map, one that had a big red circle surrounding some area on a street."Where will this bring-" looking up I stared dumbfounded as the mysterious man was gone. Great. Throwing Noah's jacket off, I placed on the new jacket, scarf and hat on, I traced the best route for me

(Noah's POV) Making my grand entrance, I made sure to use enough force that his door would slam against the wall. "Sebastian, brother dearest" I spit, waltzing my way into his room. "Noah, what the actual fuck, it's like 1 o'clock in the morning, go to sleep" he groaned pulling the blanket above his head.Hitting his light switch on, I watched in pleasure as he whined at the new light source burning his eyes. "You would not believe the most interesting pieces of information that I have just found out within the past three hours" I exclaimed in a singsong tone.Dodging the pillow chucked my way, I pulled his chair out and sat in a lax manner. "You fucktard, let me sleep" he grunted, "it's information about Embry" I teased, gaging his reaction.He held his composure quite well but I saw it, the slight widening of the eyes, tensing of the jaw and clenching of muscles. Quite a quick recovery but not quite quick enough. "Yes, I knew that might peak your attention" I smirked, spinning

Five years later...Embry's POVI rubbed my hands against the fabric of my trousers, the anxiety building within me at the large crowd of people. Pulling at the collar of my shirt I tried to ease my breathing, this wasn't my first book reading, but I always got very nervous at them.When I did these, I put my work, my inner thoughts in front of everybody to judge. I put my experience, my trauma before their scrutinising eyes. So far the audience seemed to be interested in what I was saying, in work that I had actually published. Something I never would have thought would be happening. But the book had been published for a month now and the reviews were beyond me.I suppose everything with Noah had its purpose in my life, its reason. It led me here. Led me to a dream of mine I had long forgotten under the weight of everything. My dream of being a writer. A silly hope I had when I was a child, one I never gave much of a second thought to.Taking a sip of the water, I cleared my throat p

Embry's POVIt had been two weeks since Jonathan had confronted me in the kitchen about who I was. Two very peaceful weeks. Well, as peaceful as my life could ever be in these circumstances I suppose. Noah had been sticking to his promise and I felt myself growing a little saner than I had been while stuck in the basement.I was achieving more freedom. Well in a certain sense. More freedom over my thoughts, slightly so in my actions to a small extent. Such as no longer having to ask permission to go outside and not having to second guess everything that I did. He was here and I was here and to me, we just happened to be here together."Everything okay little bug? You seem to be very in that head of yours" Noah questioned, taking the space on the couch beside me and lifting my legs onto his lap. Coming back to reality my eyes met his, "yeah, just thinking is all" I gave a small smile, turning my head back to the TV. We had started a show called Lost. Noah had picked it and I must give

"Like I said, I've worked for this family since I was a boy, my father watched Noah's mother go through the same thing Embry, whatever promises he makes that he won't hurt you anymore are lies. I can't force you to let me help you so whenever you realise what you need to do, you can come to me" he grabbed my hand, reassuringly squeezing it before walking out the door.Closing the door, I leaned my head against it, the tears flooding my vision. My shoulders shook with the weight of my grief as I tried to silence the noise of my sobs. He knew who I was. He knew me. I could have walked out that door with him, but what right did I have to put another life in danger. I slid down to the floor, allowing my body to curl up in misery. A raw sense of agony convulsed within my body, agony over this endless situation, over Indigo having actually cared about me, over the impact everything Noah said had on me.Jonathan had made a remark about not believing Noah's promises that he would no longer hu

Embry's POV"So, I'm going to kill myself."There it was. That feeling. The one that used to haunt me so often in the past year, that gnawing sense of hopelessness, of self betrayal. My composure dropped, and it sort of felt like I had blacked out for a couple moments, but I was aware of my existence. Aware of my consciousness sitting heavily in this temple I called a body.My body worked faster than my mind, as it had done so many times before. When the words seemed to register in my mind, I found myself staring straight into the empty eyes of the boy I had grown up with. The boy I had watched grow up. The boy I had shared many firsts with.I'm going to kill myself.....Kill myself...The uncomfortable memories sat heavy in my mind, haunting me. The ones I had tried so hard to block out, pushing their way back into my life. I was ashamed of them. They were a reminder of every weakness I could never overcome. A reminder of everything I swore would never happen again. My hearing had fa

Embry's POV"All I want to do is look after you Embry, I swear, you gave me this fresh start, I won't mess it up."But how was I to tell him, he already had.My glossy eyes were blankly trained on the floor, I couldn't look at him. Every time I did I seemed to lose a part of myself, a part of us. "Look at me Embry, everything I do, I do it for you, don't you get that?" Desperation seeped from his voice as I made no move to entertain him. "Or maybe you just say that to make yourself feel better" I muttered, gently rubbing my throbbing cheek."Do you know why I call you little bug?" He perked up, crouching in front of me so that I had no choice but to look at him. My silence was enough of an answer for him as he gently smiled, continuing. "Do you remember when-" sighing, my tears fell one by one, "don't Noah, just don't" I whispered. "Do you remember when we were kids, and one summer we were hanging out in your room and there was this spider in your bathroom," he rambled on, ignoring my

Embry's POV"Nice to meet you" I smiled, now meeting the eyeline of the man. I watched as he stretched his hand out for me to shake, but as he looked at my face his smile faltered.As if he knew something.As if he knew me."And you Mrs. Hill," he was quick to compose himself, his smile coming back full force. Shaking off the doubt I previously had, I excused it as grogginess from the flight earlier in the day, giving him a quick shake of my hand."Well, I should get going, it was lovely seeing you again Mr. Hill, and you Mrs. Hill, I shall bring fresh bread and fruit to you both in the morning, have a safe night," he gave a quick nod of his head before grabbing his things and leaving the kitchen."He seemed nice" I smiled, helping Noah put the new food in its correct places. "Yeah he is, he used to deliver groceries with his dad when I was a kid and we were on holidays here" he smiled softly, clearly lost in his memories."Tell me about it" I encouraged, shutting the cupboard, "your

Embry's POV"Wake up baby, we are here" a soft voice whispered in my ear as the sensation of a hand on my back came to the forefront of my awareness. Pushing my face further into the soft fabric I tried to block out the disturbance, too consumed by my utter sense of peace. Groaning in protest, I tried to shoo away the cold hand that now stroked my cheek. "Embry baby, we have to get up now" the deep voice became stern as my eyes tiredly opened and closed."I know, I know, I'm terrible, but I'm really excited to show you the new house, our new home" he murmured against my temple, gently pressing his lips against my skin. Taking a couple moments to regain consciousness, I sat with a prominent pout on my face, my body feeling heavy with sleep. "What a pouty little baby I have" Noah teased, lifting me from his lap as he jumped up to grab the bags that we kept in the seats across from us.My heart thudded in my chest as he abruptly stopped what he was doing and a massive smile lifted on his

Embry's POVDay 12My body shivered slightly with the coldness that enveloped it from the wet hair that sat heavily against my shoulders. My fingers continuously stroking the soft fabric of the dress, the feeling seeming foreign to me after spending so much time without it. That ended today, Noah had woken me up early enough, elation rolling off of him as he explained how we would be leaving today. I would finally get to leave this basement after God knows how long.I was at long last able to wear proper clothes again, hence my excitement with the dress, as well as a wool cardigan to keep the frosty January air from irritating my skin. I even had shoes. Small black pumps. "I was thinking of two French plaits, what do you think, little bug?" Noah questioned, already parting my hair as I gave a small nod."Words baby" he scolded as I hurried to fix my mistake, "French plaits would be nice, thank you Noah" I smiled, humming along to the playlist Noah had playing from his phone. "Good gir

Embry's POVDay 10.My legs were securely tucked underneath me as I sat on the heels of my feet, facing him. Six cards sitting coldly in my hand as I scrunch my eyebrows in concentration, "do you have a six?" I observed his neutral face as a gentle smirk lifted from the edges of his lips. "Go fish," with a roll of my eyes I picked up a new card from the deck."This is my fourth go fish in a row, you have to be cheating" I narrowed my eyes at him, sighing as he continued the game. "Do you have an eight?" Loudly sighing I handed him over the card, watching with bitterness as he joined his last pair of cards together.Grouchily I counted my seven pairs as I watched the pile of pairs surround him. "Cheater" I muttered, throwing myself dramatically onto his lap. "Awh, is my poor baby a sore loser?" he teased as I stuck my tongue out at him. "Bully" I crossed my arms, a frown settling on my face.My body lurched forward as his fingers grazed my sides, dread filling me at the knowledge of wh
