Spencer P.V

Its 12:30 at night where is she? I was getting worried she was never gone for so long…

I’m lying in my bed tossing and turning, maybe she got hurt? Maybe they hurt her again. Ever since we got here she came back to our room with bruises. At the beginning it was every night but as the time went by less and less. I kept asking her about it but she never told me I found out from others. I was a good girl I did as I was told and they left me alone but Billy, she had a spirit in her that couldn’t be tamed. I was so jealous of her at times. Any spirit I had in me was long gone. I hardly see my parents any more they left me here to rot they don’t believe my stories about what’s going on here anyway I wonder if they are thinking about me sometimes…

I hear the door. Billy comes in limping "Oh god" in a second I’m by her side.

"What did they do to you?!" I ask her as I start to cry. She is covered with blacks and blues and her nose is bleeding. "N..nothing" she said as she sits down.

"I’ll get you some water" I run out and return with a glass of water and towels. I start cleaning her wounds. She pretends it doesn’t hurt but I see her flinch. "We have to get out of here. And tell the police about this place. We have to Billy!" I said harshly.

"This place doesn’t exists Spencer and we have no where to run." She looked away. She doesn’t like me to see her week.

"What are you talking about Billy? We always said we’ll get away! Don’t give up now!" I got up and looked at her in shook. This has to work we’ve been working on a plan for so long.

"What do you know? You’re just a spoiled rich kid! It was your idea! Not mine! Now get out of my face!" she said and walked away to her own bed.

I was hurt but I didn’t want her to see. I loved her for almost a year now. And she loved me too but I didn’t know how. She wasn’t someone whom you could ask "Hi do you want to be my girlfriend?" she almost never let on her feelings, only when she was with me. We’d laugh and make up stupid games to pass the time between purity lessons and make fan of the man around us… but somehow she always got punished. She was protecting me and I think Walter, The first man that hit her, the one that was responsible for "natural love", had it in for her…
