With how Gabriel has acted these eleven years it was clear that he couldn't be trusted and I should expect anything from him.
“I’m supposed to come and apologize to you but I wonder what will happen if they find out you bullied me,” Lily answered.
I scoffed, “I have no interest in bullying you and I’m not interested in your apology.”
I picked up my suitcase and started packing my clothes inside them but Lily wasn't done.
She threw my bedside lamp on the floor and smirked.
“What are you doing?” I queried.
“Watch me,” she grinned.
Then she fell to the floor, placing her hands directly in the place where the broken lamp shards lay.
“What the hell?” I exclaimed, surprised.
“I’m sorry, Faye, it’s my fault. Please hurt me but don't leave the children,” she cried in a loud voice.
“What are you doing?” I queried.
Immediately, the door opened and Gabriel raced into my room with the twins.
His eyes turned red when he saw Lily on the floor bleeding.
“How could you, Faye? I told you she's sick! Have you no sympathy?” he snarled at me.
“I didn't hurt her,” I stated.
“Stop yelling at Faye, it’s not her fault,” Lily cried.
“How dare you hurt our new mommy? Haven't we taught you enough lessons? Why don't you leave already?” The twins insulted me.
Their words barely had an effect on me again as I merely continued packing my box.
“I’m leaving,” I said calmly.
Gabriel grabbed me angrily and before I could pry his hands away he pushed me inside a storage closet.
“Stay here till you see the errors of your ways!” he snarled.
“Let me out of here!” I screamed, banging the door but it was too late.
He locked me in and left. Tears streamed down my cheeks as my chest constricted.
Gabriel knows I hate small spaces. How dare him lock me up!
I tried to calm my racing heart. There was no point crying over them. None of them deserved my love or my tears.
I sat huddled on the floor as I looked around the cramped room.
There was nothing that could help me escape from here.
Towards evening I heard a slight knock on the door. Scrambling toward the door, I grabbed the handle.
“Anyone there? Please unlock the door!” I called out.
I heard silence for a while before Lily’s malicious voice rang out.
“Oh sweet Faye, you've been locked up where you deserve,” she mocked.
I sighed, “What do you want? Are you done putting on a show?”
