It's Such A Shame That We Play Strangers

*Alex’s P.O.V*

As I walked to the bathroom, I could feel someone following me, and every time I looked behind me, no one was there. I was starting to feel very anxious again and it was really starting to impact everything. My breathing was becoming heavy and my head was becoming light.

I became more paranoid with every step I took, and that worry went away when I began to fall. I became so overwhelmed that I made myself faint. Good job Alex!

I woke up in a dark room, it smelt very horrid and it was a fairly big room. I looked around me and found myself tied up onto a chair, my hands behind my back and my feet tied to the legs of the chair. This is the stuff you see in horror movies so my first thought was, I’m going to die.

‘I see you have awoken.’ Someone said, making me look in every direction possible.

‘Where am I? Let me go!’ I yelled, trying to release myself from the grip.

‘He’s awake!’ The same person yelled. A door opened and a bright light had come into the room, making me squint and look away. Once the door was closed, a light was flicked on which was above me.

‘Please.’ I begged. I had no idea what was happening, unaware of the events which will follow.

‘Shut it kid.’ One voice said.

‘You don’t sound older than me, you sound like a kid.’ I replied, which resulted in me getting hit.

‘I said shut up!’ Another yelled.

They came into eye shot and I couldn’t see if it was anyone I knew because they were all wearing masks and gloves. There was three of them, they all stood in front of me, eyes staring at me as I sat helplessly unable to get away.

I began to move again before a fist collided with my head and that was followed by another and another. Countless punches to my face, stomach and kicks to my legs made me scream in pain, unsure if it was being able to be heard.

‘Why are you doing this?’ I questioned in a stutter, after spitting blood to the ground.

‘Because we got this problem with you and we will get rid of a problem so we can fix everything to make it right!’ One spoke.

I just come to my senses that there is only one person who has a real problem with me and that is Vic. Vic had a problem with me, he wants Jack all to himself. He is going to kill me for Jack.

‘You can’t do this! You can’t.’ I yelled.

‘But I can Alex, and I will.’ They said.

‘Please, what did I ever do to you!’ I asked still moving around in the chair.

‘You moved. You ran away. You made this happen to your sister Alex. You were the reason she was killed Alex. It is all your fault. If you hadn’t ran out when your mother was talking to you, she would still be alive. But no, you had to run away, she ran after you, went down the alley way she thought you went down and was killed. They slit her throat Alex, right across, from side to side. But not before having their way with her. This. Was. Your. Fault.’ He said, and that was when I realised.

‘No, but this can’t be. How did you know I was here!’ I yelled.

‘Because your mother told us. We may have had to beat her for the answer but we got it.’ He said.

‘No! Please, it’s not my fault. She would have never blamed me. If you had loved her like I loved her Tom, then you would know that she wouldn’t blame me.’ I said.

‘But you killed her! You killed the love of my life! She was my wife Alex. You were my brother-in-law! Sophie never deserved what happened to her. I want you to feel what she felt before she died.’ Tom yelled.

‘I didn’t kill her!’ I yelled back.

‘You did though!’ Tom yelled, before pulling his arm back and bringing it back in towards me.
He let go of the object after pulling it out. It dropped to the floor and I looked down to the now puddle of blood which was starting to soak through my top. I screamed out in pain as they looked at each other.

‘Tom, this wasn’t part of the plan. We weren’t actually meant to kill him!’ One of the other men said.

‘Well, fuck. I’m out Tom.’ The other man said before running to the door and leaving.

‘Please, you can’t leave me here!’ I said still looking to the wound.

‘Uh fuck sake.’ Tom said as he was walking up and back, trying to decide what was happening.

‘Alex?’ I heard someone say softly. I looked around, confused where the voice had come from.

‘Alex, what’s wrong?’ The voice said again, I looked down at my pants and I saw a light that was from my phone light up in my pocket. My phone must have rang someone.

‘Where are we Tom?’ I yelled.

‘Why the fuck. I’m not telling you.’ He yelled back.

‘Because, if I know where we are, then I know where the nearest hospital is.’ I slowly said, feeling the loss of blood start to affect me.

‘Uh, the storage units on Pilot Road.’ Tom said as he was still walking around, pulling and playing with his hair as he did.

‘Quick, whoever is on the phone right now? Please, did you hear that? The storage units on Pilot road. Call the cops, he’s going to kill me!’ I yelled, and Tom looked at me.

He walked over to me with anger in his eyes. He growled as he pulled his fist back and then started to punch me, one fist at a time.

I could feel my face being moved left to right before finally everything went black.
