Taylor
Taylor dropped the empty bottle to the floor as he curled in on himself on his bed. He was shaking uncontrollably again, and could vaguely make out the pain in his head again.
He closed his eyes trying to breathe deeply, but concentrating on what his mind was showing him.
Zac telling him what he'd done with Jane. Blakesley promising to come back for him soon. Avery's battle with the Eye and how she locked herself in her room. Jane and his fight the morning after he raped her. The blood rain. His growing arguements with the people around him. Blakesley's phone call. The Eye and Miette taking he and Isaac from Carnegie Hall and to Australia. Calling Blakesley his master, and Isaac coming to rescue him.
Not remembering when Blakesley had first taken he and Jane and finding out later about the Mexican that was killed. Christian. Just finding out the truth about Christian from Steel. Christian kidnapping he and Avery - the fire, the isolation, the constant chases in attempts to escape, the pain the next morning and for days afterward. The car crash with Steel. His stalker who proclaimed she was having his baby.
Valentines Day the year before, and the look in Jane's eyes when he proposed. The look in her eyes when he gave her the bike for Christmas. The look in her eyes when he told her he loved her - when he promised he'd protect and never leave her.
The first night he saw her.
Back to that last fight. Hitting her. He suddenly imagined Ronnie in her place. Ronald Burton.
The day was the most vivid in his memory. The two brothers targeting he and Zac. Losing it. Finding itt oo much to take. Using his power in public against someone of a helpless race.
The nightmares that followed. Isaac and Zac finding out, and all the times they'd almost found out.
The last real conversation with Zac. "I love you, but I don't like you...". Why had he said it like that? He valued his brother so much, as he'd also valued Mouse.
How many regrets can you have in one lifetime?
