Love does not live here.... It died when you died..

 

I missed Gina taking her last breath.

That was the thought upper most in my mind.

She must have been so scared, she must have wanted me so much.

She died and I was away because I was foolish enough to think I was different, that I could handle the Knox's

"I'm sorry for your loss" Another random stranger says and I think again how pathetic it is that no one shows up for Gina's funeral, not even her mother.

Life is cruel.

It's crueler because I can't cry, my body has refused to produce tears, there's only the guilt in me, eating me up and spitting me out.

I'm standing beside her photo and the flowers that Tyler had produced, he's standing beside me, besides him are Bryant and Valli. 

Tyler's the one who placed her body in the morge for me all this while, she had died 2 days into my kidnap.

My heart pangs again but no tears come.

I lift my head to see Claire and Karen and Katie and Pearl and Kenny standing before me.

Kenny sweeps me in a hug.

"I got here as soon as I could babe" He says and finally the tears come, I sob so hard and long that I don't get to thank the girls for coming.

Tyler is beside me standing strong, Kenny is also, so is Bryant and Valli. 

Valli is crying silently. 

We stay like that for so long that it's a surprise when I see that it's dark outside.

The owners of the funeral home come to clear away the flowers and pictures, that's when I know that Gina  is gone, she's never coming back.

Another thing the Knox's succeeded in taking from me.

"It's almost midnight, we have to go back, mitch" Tyler says softly and I nod, it's almost up, the one day Xavier gave me is almost up.

"Give me some time with my best friend alone, I will be out soon" I say and he glances at Kenny before nodding and exiting, Valli and Bryant follows, Bryant shoots me a look, I ignore it. 

"What's up Mitchell? Why are there guards in front of the door? Are you in danger?" Kenny immediately asks and I shake my head. 

"You have to help me Kens, there's no time, you have to help me get away from these people" 

"Aren't they your employers? Aren't they good people? I thought you were dating the older guy?" He says, looking baffled. 

"I will explain later kens, just.. Just help me please, they can't see me, they can't" He nods, looking around the room before shaking his head. 

There's just one door out of this place and there are guards outside. 

He throws me a look before telling me to stand behind the door. 

He walks out the door. 

"Quick, come, you have to help me, Mitchell fainted" He says, did I forget to tell you that Kenny majored in theater arts? 

I hear the heavy footsteps and when they all troop into the room and I run out, Kenny bangs the doors closed, locking it, I dont stand around, I hightail it to the back exit, running as fast as my legs can take me. 

Xavier thinks he can control my life just because there's a finger print on a piece of paper stained with blood? 

He has another thing coming, I'm not going down without a fight. 

I burst out of the funeral home, Kenny on my heels, I skid to a stop at the number of guards waiting outside, they immediately grab me, stuffing me into the limo idling on the curb and all I can see before the limo pulls away is Kenny's panicked face. 

_________________

I sit on the bed, my leg bouncing nervously, I'm in the main house waiting for my 'husband', even the word makes me cringe. 

I get chills in my stomach, I'm sure this is all a joke, I'm sure I'm right now lying somewhere in a coma and this is all a dream

I almost die of shame at how the guards had dragged me from the car and into the house, everyone was watching, he was watching. 

Tyler. 

I'm never going to forgive myself if he hates me, I'm never going to, my sweet poor Tyler. 

The door bangs open and he's standing there, looking calm and not as if he had ruined my life, not as if he had stolen my last moments that I was supposed to have with my cousin. 

I jolt up from the bed and into his face, I'm not letting this go, I've been a coward for too long. 

What ever happens right now can happen and I don't care. 

"You bastard!" I shout

. "You selfish bastard, why did you have to do this to me? Why? I was living a normal life falling in love with your brother and you just had to ruin that!! 

I missed my sister dying, I almost died! You have to let me go! I wanna get out of here! Let me go! Let me go! "I scream and hit on his chest, my fear and pain motivating me. 

He grabs both of my hands with one of his before throwing me on the bed, I bounce on it and immediately roll off and get on my feet. 

"One word from you and I will snap your neck "He says and I freeze, my fear becoming greater than my anger. 

" You will stay in here, eat and act like the little servant girl that you are, you are stuck and you are never going anywhere... "He turns to leave before turning to me, his white hair getting into his face."... You ever hit me again? I will make you regret your life"

He says finally before exiting the room,he bangs the door and I stand in front of it for 5 seconds before I throw myself on the bed and the tears come. 

_______________

The staff's of Knoxville stand beneath the stairs, watching it as they listen to the cry of the new mistress of the house. 

Earlier they had watch the ice ghost storm out in anger, they have seen  him cold, lethal but never stark raving mad. 

He looked like he cold kill, he looked like the devil himself. 

They had heard the conversation and they know, they know the fate of Knoxville rests on the shoulders of the young woman.
