Jack's House
Ch.16: High Roller
Nyssa's POV:
I slowly open my eyes, my head was killing me. Last thing I remember is blacking out after being punched by a guy. After that. Nothing.
I was laying on a bed in one of the rooms for entertainment. What happened?
"You gave us quit a fright earlier, thought you wouldn't wake up. Jack was pissed at the guy who punched you and sent him away." I look over at a guy with short hair, and wearing a white suit. I slowly sit up and watch him. "Whats your name?" "Rian." He sits in front of me, his eyes were lit up by his smile. He made me relax a little.
"You seem really nice." He smiles more, "so do you. Nyssa." I watch him. "How-how do you know my name?" "I know more about you then you think Nyssa." "But your the high roller." How does he know my name.
"Nyssa. I'm more then that." He gently holds my hand and I watch him, "you don't remember me do you." I look into his eyes, there was something familiar about those eyes. I close my eyes, thinking hard about where I seen those eyes before. Where have I seen those eyes before....
"She's dancing alone. She's out of control. She's so," he sings. I open my eyes and a memory came back. I started crying and stare at him. "Lost in stereo," I cry out. He smiles, "hi Nyssa." I sob hard and hug him tightly. I cry into his chest and he holds me close. Kissing my head and rocking me.
"I'm here Nyssa. I'm here and will never leave you again." I cry more into his chest, finally saying the word I haven't said since was 7 years old.
"Dad."
