If only he really knew how angry he makes me.
I remarked dryly. >
Sebastian looked at me again, as he drove, biting his lip while watching me.
>
I scoffed. « I'll be however I want. >>
The sound of old music was once again the only thing that could be heard in the car. Sebastian jaw was clenched and my arms were stubbornly crossed over my chest, neither one of us willing to speak.
By the time we exited the car, Sebastian was well aware of my plan to ignore him, and even went as far as to threaten to lock me out if I continued my childish game. I only shrugged in response, and looked away uncaringly, annoying him even more.
We entered the house loudly, the sounds of our footsteps echoing throughout the quiet house. Mason emerged from Sebastian's office, a stack of papers in his hand, and warily stood from a distance, unsure if he should approach us. > Sebastian asked, leaving me by the front door. Mason hesitated, his eyes flickering to me.
> They walked into Sebastian's office, closing the door behind them.
Stupid little fucks.
My eyes zeroed in on the keypad on the door, the numbers taunting and teasing me. I felt my fingers twitch by my side, aching to at least try to find a way out of this place.
Could I escape if I wanted to ? I'd like to think that if I tried hard enough, I would find a way, that is, if I planned on escaping for less than a day. I knew Sebastian would have me dragged back, and either tortured or killed, probably both. Letting out a small sigh, my stomach growled hungrily, and I walked into the kitchen, flinging open the refrigerator door. After standing stock-still for a few minutes, I settled on an apple in the fruit bowl on the table, giving up on the few foods and extreme amount of beer in the fridge.
> Callum had now entered the kitchen, his hair damp from a shower I assume.
I shrugged and gave a nod with my head. >
> He smirked at me, his eyes gleaming playfully.
>
For the love of God.

Mason and Callum cheered at his announcement, whereas I just rolled my eyes and inspected my nails.

His voice was low and gravelly, and even with my eyes screwed shut, I knew exactly who it was.
Soft whimpers left my lips, and I found my eyes opening in an attempt to escape the darkness that haunted me.
> I muttered, as I slowly calmed down, my body still pressed against his.
Sebastian peered down at me, shaking his head. >
My eyes fluttered and I bit my lip. >
I stared up at him, desperately trying to read him. >
Sebastian stared at me in response, before speaking. >
> I blame my still dazed state for making me utter those words, ones that temporarily stunned Sebastian.
>
For the second time that day, Sebastian mimicked my words. Except this time, instead of the mischievous glint that normally was laced into his expression, there was something else there.
I knew at that moment that I was not in the right state of mind, and if I had been, I would have pushed Sebastian away; thrown some nasty profanities at him, then order him to leave my room.
I suppose Sebastian was just as out of it as I was, for he wouldn't have ever comforted me, but instead, tell me to get it together and stop being so hopeless.
As I sat there on Sebastian's lap, cradled into his chest, I said a barely audible goodbye to the last string of sanity that I had been clinging onto for those ten days.
Ten days was all it took to convince me that I needed to escape.
