I couldn't help the sob that slipped through my trembling lips as my body sunk to the floor.

And you want to know what the worst part of it all was?

Knowing deep down, that no matter what, there was no way out.

I held in the tears, well, the majority of them that is.

Quickly wiping away the few that had escaped, I struggled to calm myself down. My heart was going much too fast for my liking and I felt light headed and nauseous. Why did Sebastian King want me ?

I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, trying to block out everything.

My eyes flew open and I looked up into the eyes of the vilest person I had ever met in my entire life.

Courage coursed through my veins and I found myself standing up, my expression hardening and my hands forming fists.

> My voice was eerily calm, a sign that I was on the verge of having a breakdown.

He eyes trailed over me before he finally spoke. >

I felt the air leave my lungs and my vision falter.

>

I completely lost it.

> My voice was high and shrill as I struggled to fight past him. >

I shook violently as he easily captured me within his arms, pinning my arms to my sides. I thrashed about, screaming and begging for help.

I clutched onto Danny, desperately trying to calm down as I buried my head into his chest. He held me comfortingly, something he hasn't done since I was a little girl. I gasped out. >

I jumped at the sound of Sebastian scoff from behind me.

I tore myself away from Danny's arms so quickly that he nearly fell over. My breathing had increased, but not out of fear. No, this time it was purely due to the amount of rage I was feeling. Pretty bi-polar, right? Ever since I was younger, I was known to go from one emotion to the next.

Instead of getting angry by my words, Sebastian only raised his brow and remained silent. I took this as a sign to continue, so that's exactly what I did.

>

I could tell that hit a nerve, when his face hardened and his expression turned from amused to annoyed. Just as he was about to speak, I found myself butting in.

> I looked around the room, laughing manically. >

His voice was firm and demanding.

My chest rose and fell dramatically as I tried to catch my breath. > The silence that followed should have been enough for me, but of course I decided to push my boundaries.

One second I'm smirking spitefully at Sebastian, and the next, I'm choking for air as I'm being held by my throat against the wall. Mason and Callum didn't skip a beat, moving to protect Sebastian while leaving Danny, Will, and Nate with no other option than to watch helplessly.
