I’ll Be Seeing You

Chapter 85

I took a shuddering breach as I climbed the wall, the wind whipping around me bitterly. It nipped at my wet cheeks and the tip of my nose. My head throbbed and my red, piffy eyes stung from the tears that hadn’t relented even when I thought I had nothing else left to cry out. I kept my left hand on the pillar to steady my trembling form as I peered down over the edge of the bridge.

The water below was as a black as the night sky but I could still see the water moving at speed, smooth as silk but never static. It swirled like an empty abyss. It wasn’t inviting me to it like I thought it would. I had imagined that the ribbon of icy water would call to me and make this easier but it too was repulsed by me and didn’t want me to enter its frigid depths and thus taint it with my disgusting being.

In truth I didn’t want to do this either. I didn’t want to die. I wanted to live my life but I I couldn’t face another day livi

in this hell. My head hurt, my lungs hurt and my heart hurt. Every bruise throbbed, my swollen lip stung even though the bleeding had stopped sometime

ago.

Most girls my age would be preparing for college, spending summer breaks and weekends with friends or earning money at a job. They would have dreams of meeting the love of their life and maybe starting a family. I had those dreams too once but little by little they were crushed. My friends were torn away from me, my self–confidence and self–esteem destroyed until all that was left was a submissive shell, a walking punch bag for Noah Winters to use and abuse.

He was systematically taking everything from me. He isolated me so I had no one to turn to ripped my self–belief to shreds and now he was targeting my dignity and body. I could still fee.

bruised his fingers running over my stomach and ribs like spiders right before they dug into my sides, making me cry out in pain. I had seen the look in his black eyes when he had done it, the sick and perverse pleasure he was taking from violating and hurting me. My sobbing and begging was like a drug to him. I could see him growing high on it, relishing it. He wanted more until it became the only thing he had and cared for.

My misery was his obsession.

The bitter coldness was starting to numb my fingers and toes. I don’t know how long I stood on the edge of the bridge, trying to convince myself to just let go but the battle raged on in my head. What would my brother think? How would he deal with me being gone? Would he understand why I was doing this?

I could still hear Noah’s voice in my head taunting me, degrading me, reducing me to nothing.

Chapter 85

You’re disgusting.

You’re so worthless even your brother can’t stand to be around you.

I’m going to enjoy taking everything from you.

I own you, Ellie. *

I shuddered like a snowdrop in the wind, my stomach churning and rolling as I remembered how his eyes left mine and had traveled down, roaming over me. It wasn’t an attraction that I saw. In fact, I’m not sure what it was but it had been something cold and dark. It had been so primal and inhumane that I had felt the cold fingers of fear grip my chest tighter than ever before. I knew at that moment he wouldn’t stop until he had humiliated me in the ultimate

way.

“I’d rather die.” I whispered to myself, finding that piece of reasoning I needed to peel my fingers away from the pillar and let the wind push me into the abyss.

I felt the wind push me and then suddenly something wrap around my body, pulling me back and onto the cold hard concrete of the sidewalk. I cried out as pain burst through my hip and wrist that took the brunt of the landing, my body trembling under the weight over another
