How to Change the Past

Chapter Fourteen

Mikey was waiting outside when I finished my shift. He was leaning against his car, smoking a cigarette. I smiled to myself and hurried over, my hands in my pockets. It was getting colder again, and I was worried it would snow soon.
I carefully snatched the cigarette from Mikey's hand and took a long drag, grinning at him. He rolled his eyes, brushing one hand down my side.
“Hey. How was work?”
I shrugged, moving to stand next to him, my shoulder touching his. “Tiring.”
It had been three weeks since our fight, and we’d finally gotten back to normal. Mikey didn't mention my scars, and I didn't talk about the fight. He'd been so affectionate that I'd forgotten everything else.
“Should we get home?” Mikey asked softly. I nodded, then froze up.
“Fuck!”
“What?”
“I left my bag inside,” I giggled sheepishly, handing the cigarette back. “I won't be a minute.”
I hurried back towards the building, having to go around to the front, as the back door was already locked. I grabbed my bag from my locker and jogged back to the front door, slipping out. I was walking around the side of the building when something hit the back of my head and I collapsed.


I woke up in darkness, trying to get up immediately. One of my hands was chained to something I assumed to be a wall, and I fell back onto the pile of blankets with a soft cry of pain. Someone laughed and I flinched, curling up quickly. “It's so good to see you cry again, Frankie.”
The voice was dripping in sticky sugar, but it sent a shiver of panic down my spine. Paul.
I heard my ringtone and Paul laughed again.
“Aw. It's your cute little boyfriend calling you to ask if you're okay. How cute. Maybe when I'm done with you I'll have to go and see how he's doing, he's probably sad and all alone.”
I tried to jump up, growling. “You leave Mikey alone! He didn't do anything to you!”
“Neither did you,” Paul pointed out smoothly, flicking a light on. I blinked, shielding my eyes from the sudden flare of bright white light.
I heard footsteps and the back of Paul’s hand connected with my cheek, almost sending me flying. I blinked and looked down at the stone floor, spitting blood calmly. “What are you gonna do to me?”
“Whatever the fuck I want, Frank. You're mine and you always will be.”
“And then what?”
“And then I'll dump your sorry ass in the middle of nowhere and leave you to die there.”
I giggled softly and moved back, leaning against the wall. “You don't have the balls.”
Paul shrugged, lifting a knife from the floor and pointing it at me. “I learned a lot in prison. I'm a changed man.”
He threw the knife and it stuck into the wall a few inches from my head. I took deep breaths, trying to stay calm. He wanted me to cry and beg and scream, but if I stayed calm, maybe he'd give up. He took a step forward, ripping my shirt off my chest and tossing the rags aside. “You got more tattoos,” he purred. “Just for me.”
I looked past him, thinking of Mikey and his soft kisses. How love should be. Paul’s finger trailed down my chest and my mental image changed to Gerard without my permission. Him laughing, his smile. His tighter than tight hugs. His singing. Paul unbuttoned my jeans and I squeezed my eyes shut, unable to think of anything now.
As Paul entered me, I felt myself shut down. My body, my mind. Everything went numb and I just laid there passively, shaking lightly.

I woke up in the back of an SUV, my hands and feet bound and a gag in my mouth. I was fully naked and soaked in blood, most of which was starting to dry. I stared at the ceiling of the car, still feeling numb. The car stopped suddenly and I heard the door slam. Footsteps sounded, moving to the back of the SUV. A pause, and then the trunk was opened, Paul standing over me. It was still dark outside, lit only by the stars and the moon. Paul shifted, moving to pick me up, and I saw the gun tucked in his belt. He dragged me out of the trunk, laughing as I fell to the ground. “Poor little Frankie.”
I tried to get up, but my feet were bound too tightly. Paul kicked me until I had rolled off the road and half into the woods. “That's good enough,” he mumbled to himself, leaning down and cutting the rope on my feet. He rolled me onto my stomach, kneeling on my back as he cut the rope around my hands, then untied the gag. I felt the cold metal of the gun against the back of my head. “I'm gonna back away real slow, and you're gonna stay there until you hear the car, okay?”
I nodded shakily, staring at the ground. The weight lifted off me and I heard him walking away. I stayed flat until the car started and the tyres screeched. After that, I managed to grab onto a tree, hauling myself up onto my feet. “Fuck..” I whimpered. My ankle was twisted, shooting pain up my leg as soon as I tried to take a step. I went to my knees, grabbing some of the rope and the gag, managing to tie a kind of support around my ankle. I stood again, wincing, but able to at least put enough weight on it to limp. I made it out to the road, shaking as I looked around for some kind of sign. There was nothing. I glanced to my left and saw more woods, the road disappearing into the trees. To my right was a more open road, through cornfields. That seemed more promising, so I turned that way, limping along the road slowly. It was freezing outside, and as the adrenaline ebbed away, I started to feel it, hugging myself and shivering. “Fuck..”
I dragged myself almost two miles down the road before I had to stop to rest. I could see lights not too far away, which gave me a little hope, but not much. I wasn't sure if I could make it. I managed to get back onto my feet again, swaying slightly as I set off again.
After another grueling half hour or so, I could see the outline of a house, perhaps a quarter of a mile away. I smiled just slightly, managing to drag myself into the front garden. I nearly collapsed, but half crawled up the steps and rang the doorbell just before everything went black.

Wattpad scares me cause they don't really police the fics there, but then again, they stopped doing that here so yeah...

I have been on other sites too like Mibba and Ficwad and never got the same interest that I have gotten here. I like AO3 cause of tag search features and it isn't about votes there. It's about kudos and even then it is about the loyal reader.

I woudl give it a try. You only have to wait a few days for your invitation. ^-^

Aw thank you so much (: it's hard cause I know what you mean about the fanbase changing bc I used to be fairly popular on here. I've tried Wattpad as well and it really never took off. Thanks for commenting, and I'm really glad you've enjoyed it so far. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to keep writing this one, as I've started a new one I like a little more. Maybe I should have a go at AO3, but I'm a creature of habit lol so I like using what I've always used.
Anyway, thanks again and it's nice to see a familiar face again (:

Hey, just so you know, don't measure your fics worth by votes or subscribers. I have a lot of fans on AO3, but those same stories have hardly any interest here.

The fan base is different and has changed over the years. Not many are looking for plot or meaningful characters anymore in my opinion. They want face paced stories that get to the porn and what little relationship the guys have immediately.

I thought your story was really good and although I was a bit confused here and there, I got the jist of what you were trying to convey with your characters.

Keep it up! ^-^
