Never Ending Cycle

Hey, Aiden, you reached home yet?

Yes, Mom, I'm on my way.

Ok, great. I think I might get late at work, so do you want to have dinner outside tonight? It'll be fun, and we can discuss our topic from this morning. What do you say?

Mom, I'm already going home. You want me to step outside again? I can cook at home. Is there any problem?

No, probably not, but I remember when you tried cooking for the first time, it was a disaster. You burnt both of your hands. I don't want you to cook when I'm not around.

I pouted at my phone. "Mom, how mean of you! I know that very well. Those scary scars on my hands... How can I forget that time? I was only a kid. Now I am fully aware of how to handle the kitchen."

No, Aiden, I won't listen to you today. It's final. We are going out tonight. That's it.

Oh well, you sure are sounding like your boss day by day, I said, laughing.

Okay, now I'm hanging up. And yeah, be ready. I'll send you the location.

Ahhh... I guess I can never win against my mom. I was happy today that I met Lucas and thought Mom and I would cook something delicious together, but anyway.

I still have three hours left. What should I do? Yeah, I know, let's write a letter. It's been a while since I last wrote one.

Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock!

Who's this time? I got up and opened the door, and it stunned me. It was the guys from school.

What are you doing here? Who gave you my address?

Aiden, calm down. We are friends. Can't we know your address? By the way, you came all the way here from Boston and yet I still managed to find you.

Keep one foot inside and I'll call the police straight away.

You haven't learned any manners, Aiden, or should I teach you? At least invite the guest inside first.

Boys, let's get inside. Hey, you too, grab both of his hands. Is the camera ready yet? Start shooting, you dumbass.

Yes... yes.

Now, Aiden, don't be afraid. I won't do anything unless you move, okay? So please behave and be a good boy.

What should I do? I'm afraid. How do these boys know my house? With both of my hands locked, I can't do anything. As I see him pulling out a short knife, it gives me chills all over my body.

Please don't do that. I'm begging you, please. I'll do everything. I'll give you what you want, but please don't do this.

Now boys, hold him tight. Listen, Aiden, I don't want anything from you and there's nothing you can give me, so please cooperate. If you move a bit, the knife will cut through your stomach.

There is no choice left. I cried, I screamed, I begged before them but they didn't stop. He began to slide his knife, ripping all of my buttons one by one. I can't do anything but just be like a non living being.

My tears are all dry, the recording is still going on but they won't stop.

I tried my best to scream as loud as I can do many be someone can hear me , but that won't work either

Aiden, if you don't stop your screams now, I'll show this video of yours to everyone. You filthy bastard, you should've just died that day.

Hey, you two, rip all his clothes and make sure the recording is going on.

No, no, please don't do that! I screamed hard. What did I do wrong to you guys? Why are you doing this to me? Please stop!

AIDEN... AIDEN... AIDEN...

No, don't do anything. Stay away from me!!!!
