Chapter 11: chapter 11

"WHY DO YOU NOT LISTEN TO ME EVEN ONCE? IF YOU HAD LISTENED TO ME THAT DAY, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED. YOU FUCKING MAKES ME CRAZY ELORA ROSE GREEN!!!"Silence!Everything went silent after he shouted at me with words that made no sense, not to me. This man always confuses me with his strange words. That day? When? He is the one who is driving me crazy and what's with that name? Is that my full name? Who on earth names their children like that? "Get up!" He grabs my arms and pulls me up."What did you mean just now?" I ask, following him to his car. Z is in the driver's seat. I see him glancing at us for a moment and then keeping his head straight again. "Get in the car," Rodas opens the car's door and points his finger inside. "Why would I?" I argue again. "Answer me first," Rodas doesn't open his mouth and gets inside the car before pulling me along and making me sit on his lap. My cheeks feel hot all of a sudden and I'm unable to move. Fuck.This man is utterly dominating as if I am some kind of property that he owns.He closes the door, grabbing my wrist with only a single hand. Yet, so strong. He orders Z to drive the car and by the time I'm back to my senses, we have left that creepy area. I struggle and try to move away from his lap but his other hand is possessively around my stomach, preventing me from moving away. I feel weak to his touch and My body feels so small in front of him that it's embarrassing. "Let me go!" I mumble. He lowers his head, green gazes burning at the side of my face. My heart is pounding so fast that I think I might pass out right there."I know you're confused right now. I promise to explain everything when the time comes... At this moment think of me as your safe space. You don't need to feel scared" Here he goes again, saying confusing words. The words he said and the softness of his tone are surreal. As if I'm dreaming a pleasant dream again, where he is nothing but a calm and loving person. Moments ago, he was so rough and now he is a completely different person. It's more scary than the thought of being killed. Because I can't seem to get enough of this side of him."W-Why would I trust you?" He chuckles softly. "You don't have any other option!" This is all so tiring.At this point, I doubt all the things they told me about myself are true. "Is Rei my boyfriend?" I ask looking up at Rodas but he doesn't open his mouth, instead, he holds my forehead and presses the side of my face against his chest. Twice he has done this. I wonder if this is him telling me to stop asking questions or to calm me down. His heartbeat is so calm which makes me wonder what his reaction would be if he were to listen to mine. Would he chuckle? Would he smirk? Or would he just stare at me with those green gazes?The rest of the way to his place is accompanied by silence. I didn't ask him further questions because I know I will get silence as the only answer from him. He takes my hand and heads inside his giant building which feels a bit like home this time. There are still men all around it but they are not standing like a statue dressed in black suits and sunglasses as the last time I saw them. Instead, they are in normal clothes, talking casually and laughing yet not forgetting to lower their head once Rodas walks past them. I wonder if out of respect or fear. Rodas is still holding my hand as he leads me through the hallway, taking large steps.  Then he enters a room. The familiar doctor is there. I'm sure now that he works under Rodas. "Why did you bring me here?" I ask, glaring at Rodas. He let go of my hand."Just to check your condition!" He says and tilts his head toward a chair. "Sit!" "I'm not doing it unless you get out of this room!" I say crossing my arms. "What?" Good! Bet you've never been denied like this."I. Said. Get. Out" I poke his chest with my finger saying those four words."Don't be-""Rodas!" The doctor's voice interrupts him. He gives Rodas an assured nod. Surprisingly, Rodas doesn't talk back to him. He just gives me a stern look and leaves the room. The door closes with a loud sound behind him. The doctor let out a sigh before smiling at me. "Sit down!" "Doctor, Why did he listen to you?" I ask, taking a seat.He chuckles."And why wouldn't he listen to me?"I shrug."Because... Everyone in this house lowers their head whenever they see Rodas?"He shakes his head and sits opposite me."It's because I'm just a Doctor, not a gang member. Does it assure you?" "Yes, Doctor!" "Call me Liam!""Liam..." The name slips out of my mouth almost instantly without any second thought. The name feels so familiar as if I've been calling this very name for ages. This feeling of nostalgia is overwhelming. "Are you listening to me?...."Y-Yes... I mean No. Could you repeat that?" "How do you feel nowadays?" "Mostly fine... But I do have nightmares sometimes." I whisper.Liam nods and takes a note in his diary. I couldn't help but keep looking at him.  I don't like this feeling. The helplessness when you can't remember even a single thing about yourself.Imagine trying to remember a thing that you have no memory of. How sad is that? But in the end... I couldn't stop myself from asking."Liam... Have we ever met before my accident?"
