I shut my eyes.

I channel everything that pisses me off in my life and I growl in my throat.

The bed moves but not enough.

“Come on,” I whisper. “Just let go…”

I release my hold and flex my hands.

I take a deep breath and reach again.

“I’ve got it this time,” I tell myself.

I close my eyes.

I think about life with Faye.

I think about opening the microwave and cockroaches jumping at me.

I think about pouring milk into my cereal and it’s chunky from being expired.

I think about cold winter nights, huddled up in my winter coat because there was no power because Faye didn’t have enough to pay the electric bill.

“Fuck… you…”

The bed suddenly makes a loudpopsound.

And it collapses to the floor.

I ripped the end rail right off the bed.

I gasp for a breath and I smile.

Holy fuck… I’m free!

Chapter 6

There’s a few seconds where I just sit there on the floor.

The bed is broken and slanted.

I’m free of the bed but not the cuffs.

That doesn’t matter though.

I can stand up on my own and get the hell out of Seth’s basement.

I slowly stand up and can’t believe this.

It’s almost too good to be true.

I fully expect Seth to come rushing down the steps any second.

If that were to happen, I’d have to pull an excuse out of my ass really quick.

I’m not sure if Seth would actually hurt me or not.

Depends on who told him to kidnap me.
