(Embry's POV)

My head was spinning with everything that was going on, my eyes flitting from the man to the phone. My heart felt as though it was beating fast enough that it would explode right in my chest. I couldn't do this, I couldn't do this.

Staggering into the bedroom, blood still heavy on my skin, I threw a bunch of clothes into the first bag I saw, I had no money, I had no plan, I had no place to go and right now I had no faith in myself. "I want my mom" I cried out, clutching the bed for support, as my emotions suffocated me from the inside.

Throwing random things inside the bag, my ribs ached with all the wailing that I couldn't suppress. "This is all your fault Embry" I whispered, staring blankly at my hands, the same hands that held the gun and stole a life. A million voices were screaming at me in my mind,

"Just go with Noah, he's the only one that could love a murderer like you."

"Run, Embry, run."

"Sebastian will save you"

"Of course Noah's your soulmate, you're just lik

    (Noah's POV)My heart thrummed painfully in my chest with joy as she hid her face in my chest, my top absorbing her tears. I was usually never pleased to see her shed tears over anybody but me, but this time I would make an exception. How well that worked out for me, now she was forced to crawl back into my arms and I didn't have to be the bad guy.That's what brothers are for, aye? "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left, I'm so sorry" her small voice was muffled in the fabric of my shirt. Those words, like music to my ears. I slowly rubbed her back, a loving look plastered onto my face. Things could not have been going any better. This was perfect.I watched as she struggled to look over at Sebastian, "I'd like if we could go home now Noah." She whispered, turning back to face me, I could have collapsed with the surge of joyous emotions running through me at the moment.Her gaze was plastered to the floor as my thumb reached up to stroke her cheek, my Embry, back where she belongs, in my

    (Embry's POV)My throat was painfully dry as I was held inches from his seething form, my hand clutching onto the hand which contained my hair in a firm grip. No matter how much I tried, I couldn't seem to form any words, nothing was coming out.My tears ran wildly down my face at the pain and panic coursing through me as I swung my head back and forth in denial of his claims. It was true, but there was no possible way for him to know that right? No, no he couldn't, it was impossible. "It was just kissing, I swear, I promise, please" I spluttered, my eyes shut tightly as I could no longer look at him."I wouldn't do that to you Noah, I want- I want you to be my first" I sobbed, praying I sounded convincing. Relief crashed like a wave through my body as he released his grip on my hair, I could still feel the presence of his face right in front of mine as I slowly opened my eyes."How do I know you're not lying?" He growled, becoming suddenly uncomfortable with my nudity, I crossed my a

    (Noah's POV)Throwing my shirt on, I smiled as I watched my beautiful wife sleep on my bed after screaming my name. A part of me itched to put the handcuff back on her wrist, but after the beginning to the day we just had I knew she was much more broken than I ever could have prayed. All pretty and waiting for me to mold her.I was struggling to believe this was all happening to me, no, no, it must have been a dream. The way she squirmed beneath me, so needy for me. I should have known she never would have slept with Sebastian, it was a simple crush after all, she always had been susceptible to confusing feelings for safety. She would be eating out of the palm of my hand in no time, just the way it always should have been. She'll never have to worry about anything again with me.A sadistic grin plastered itself on my face as I strolled into the kitchen, coming face to face with the one person I was simply dying to see. Sebastian. "I didn't actually think you'd come back so soon" I lau

    (Noah's POV)Balancing the tray of food in my hand, I unlocked the door and pushed it open with my foot. The sight I was met with was interesting to say the least, her soft singing met my ears as she remained lying inhumanly still on the floor in front of me. Wearing nothing but a t-shirt of mine. Placing the tray down on the desk, I stood silently and watched her, not wanting to interrupt her moment."Couldn't really love you any moreYou've become my ceilingI don't think I love you anymoreThat gold mine changed youYou don't have to hold me anymoreOur cave's collapsing""I don't want to be me anymore"I wasn't really sure if she was even aware I had entered the room, her song coming out in a quiet broken whisper. A lone tear making it's trail down the side of her head, landing on the floor beneath her."Hey baby, you okay?" Her blank stare hit me hard as she sat up, weakly nodding. I could feel myself physically recoil at how broken she looked. Usually I would have been happy to

    (Embry's POV)December 22nd. Three more days to Christmas, yay..... The feelings of excitement I was holding towards Christmas have completely vanished. I had been in this house, or should I say this room for a little more than a single day and I was already losing my will to not smack the shit out of Noah."Please, I promise I'll be good, I won't do anything, just for ten minutes even, it's been so long since I've been outside" I pleaded, his shirt fisted in my hands. "No Embry, now stop asking unless you want me to fuck the bratiness out of you" his face lifting into a small smirk, "although I'm sure you'd actually like that isn't that right," he leans down his breath hitting the base of my neck. "My pretty little slut" he mumbles against my skin, tracing his tongue across my collarbone.Trying my best to ignore the feelings that ignited in me, I step back, ridding myself of the effect he has on me. Raising his eyebrows, I scoffed at the amused look residing on his face, a mischievo

    (Embry's POV)"Crap Sebastian, I can't do this with you, really I-I can't" I shuddered, ducking under his arm as I rushed to the other side of the room. I observed him nervously as he stood as well, only now realising how intimidating his height was. "Stop fighting it Embry, don't you want somebody to just take care of you, I'm not like Noah, you'll never have to fear me snapping at you, let me protect you, let me hold you, let me nurture you like you deserve."My tears were falling at a rapid pace with the intensity of my inner turmoil. It all sounded so nice, but I couldn't. I knew he had to leave soon because I was slipping. I always fell for this. But it was so easy to, it was so painfully simple to give in.I held my hands out in front of me as a warning for him to stand back as he treaded carefully towards me. I couldn't afford him touching me, I was like putty in his hands. "I know you Embry, you've spent your whole life taking care of other people, making sure they were okay a

    (Embry's POV)December 23rd. I lay in a starfish position not wanting to get out of bed. Not like I had anywhere to go or anything to do. A part of me really wanted to see Evelyn but another part of me was afraid she would hate me if she found out what I had done, I had managed to push it to the back of my mind but every so often I was reminded that I was a murderer.I watched as Noah bustled around the room, into the wardrobe and bathroom, readying himself for the day once again, leaving me behind. Sighing dramatically I sat up in the bed, sitting motionlessly as I stared in front of me trying to fully wake up."Good morning beautiful" Noah sang, nodding towards the chair at the desk, wanting me to sit down and eat. Trudging over to eat breakfast, I threw a quick glance at him, kicking my legs back and forth as they hung down from the chair. "Maybe I could start eating downstairs again soon?" I questioned hopefully, taking a bite of the toast. It was just so boring and bland up here.

    (Noah's POV)Releasing a frustrated sigh, I shut the door with a slam. What a fucking ass. Oh how I bet he loves seeing his two sons turn on each other, the little shit stirrer. Saying what my wife can and can't do. It's just some sick and twisted form of entertainment for the old man. The day he dies will be one of the happiest days of my life.Searching the room I became more agitated as she wasn't here, "Embry" I gruffly called out, placing the plate of pizza on the table. Stupid fucking uncomfortable clothes, I glowered, throwing my shoes and jacket off of me. "In the bath" her gentle voice wafted out, my face immediately lifting into a smile.Even just hearing her voice made me feel better. "I missed you beautiful" I leaned over, kissing the top of her head, the smell of her shampoo hitting me like a drug. How intoxicating. Taking a seat on the closed toilet lid, I sat admiring my beautiful beautiful baby. "Is everything okay?" Her voice came out in a whisper, I knew why, she was

    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
