Finally it was too much. I fainted from the unending pain.*****I came to on my face, still gagged. I had been turned over and my wrists were now tied ...ehind my back. My elbows were pulled together and tied to each other. I tried to lift my head up. I felt a hand on the back of my head. It turned my face sideways. I looked at Della's face lying on the bed beside me."With it again, Sam? Do you want some more of my hair?"I shook my head."How unfortunate. I have one last very special treat for you.. She and Wayne had all the food, so they could go on up to the cabin and stay there until someone figured a way to get them back across the river.She discussed their alternatives with Tony for several minutes. Since it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, he finally agreed that he, Kim, and Marie would return to Emoryville and spend the night there. He would check in with the Sheriff and let him know they were stranded. He would get back with her later and let her know what kind of plan he. "Whoa!" he chuckled. "You just got KNOCKED OUT!" He took a picture with his iPhone, and left, laughing out loud.When I got home, my mom was waiting at the door. "Oh, Malik!" she cried out, grabbing me. "What happened?!" Nothing," I lied, getting free of her grip. "I just...I got in a fight." Before she could speak, I walked past her and into the house. She followed after me."Malik!" she exclaimed. "What the hell do you mean 'you got in a fight'?! What HAPPENED?!" I don't wanna talk about it!" I. I don't understand you at all. Two of the most beautiful women I've ever seen throw thenselves at you, and you keep putting them off. Why?" Because, Leah, there's two of them. And they already have a firm relationship going back years. Why would they risk that? What if one of them decides they want me exclusively, or I care for one of them more than the other? The whole thing could get pretty sticky pretty quick. I don't know if I need that kind of headache in my life right now." Your ex must.
