chapter 63
As I am starting to come to it’s dark, and I’m in a confined space. I realize I’m in the trunk of his car, as I feel like I am moving. Fear overcomes me, I am terrified of what is about to happen. Knowing that nobody’s even going to miss me, only my mother. But I’m going to have to endure this hell, so he doesn’t hurt her. I can’t lose her, I can’t be the cause of something happening to her.
As my body bounces around, I hit my head not being able to see. It feels like the car is never going to come to stop but do I really want it to? Terrified when it comes to a stop what will happen to me. What is going to be in store for me? Why is he going through so much for me? I pinch myself, hoping that maybe I’m having a dream.
I’m trying to keep myself from falling asleep when the car comes to a complete stop, I can feel him put the car into park. I get myself ready, hoping when he opens the trunk I can run. I am going to run as fast as I can, not stop until I feel I’m safe. Wondering if it’s ever possible to feel safe ever again. How am I going to be able to protect myself against this man?
When the trunk pops open, I notice that I’m already trapped since we are parked in a garage. “Hello Jessica, don’t you look like shit.”
I don’t respond to him, it seems to anger as he slaps me across my face tears start to form. He grabs a hold of me “you will not disrespect me in my own house, do you understand?”
I go to respond but not fast enough as he hits me again and again. I feel my lip swelling. ” I’m sorry, please stop, I didn’t mean to disrespect you. I’m just surprised by all of this.”
He grabs me by my hair and pulls me out of the trunk of his car. I screech in pain. “Let me go, I will not be your housemaid. I will turn you into the police for kidnapping me.”
He grabs a hold of my face, holding my cheeks with one hand. “Listen here bitch you will do what you’re told, or you will pay for not obeying.”
Not really sure where I’m at, but I don’t care. I need to find a way to escape him before there are no chances of escaping. I kick him in the groin as hard as I can, I watch as he falls to his knees and I take off. Being in his garage, I’m trying to find an exit point, but it’s like a maze.
I’m terrified knowing if I don’t escape his house that I am going to pay for what I have done. I am not for him to do as he pleases too. I need out of here. I never thought that this could be my reality, that this could even happen to me.
I see what I think to be the front door as I go to open it to my surprise it opens. I run as fast as I can, trying not to think about how my lungs are burning like fire. I haven’t got this much exercise in a very long time. When you’re running for your life, it’s different. You know that you cannot stop, or you will be a victim.
It is so dark I can’t see anything, but I don’t stop. I have no idea where I am. It doesn’t stop me though I keep pushing with every breath that I have, knowing that I can’t stop. If I stop I will give him the opportunity of recapturing me. Not knowing what he would do to me because of escaping and not wanting to find out.
With him being so wealthy and being able to get whatever he wants as he says, why would it be me? I am ordinary, there is nothing special about me. This all makes no sense at all. I can’t figure what the hell is going on, it’s like my world has gone crazy.
Fuck I see lights running toward me become nervous wanting to hind but not being able to see a damn thing. I began to stumble and fall into the water god yes, just in time, I think to myself, I began to swim. I have always been an ok swimmer. Knowing this will help me to lose track of me.
As I am in the water I see that the lights are approaching me fast. I’m not sure what to do. I just go under, hoping when I come up to take a breath that the light will be gone. Knowing that he can not recapture me If I do I might never have a chance of escaping again.
As I am under the water I try to think happy thoughts. The only thoughts that come to mind is the time I spent with Matt. It was really the only time in my life that I actually really felt like myself. I didn’t have to pretend to be somebody I was not. He was happy with who I was without changing anything. Now I am not so sure of what changed his mind. Still being happy to have met him.
After thinking about him, I see that the lights are gone, relieved I come up to take a breath. I’m not sure what direction they went in. I just stay on the water and decide to follow the stream, hoping to find civilization before he finds me. I push myself throw knowing my body is exhausted, but I can’t stop until I know I’m free.
As I continue to move, I’m scared, knowing that my body is getting exhausted. I need to find a place to rest for the night, not wanting to stop but not having a choice. Everything is black I can’t see anything. I don’t know where there is a good place to hide is. As I’m walking, I hit my head and begin to bleed as I feel liquid run down my face and pain overcomes me. I reach my hand out, and I feel and that’s when I realize it’s a branch.
Even though I can’t see anything, I decided to try to climb it. Knowing it’s my best chance to hide. So I would be able to get some rest to continue my escape. Reaching my arms out, trying to feel everything I possibly can. Getting the grip to climb and trying to stay in a stable spot to where I can get some sleep. Wanting to get high enough to where I’m unseen. I eventually reach a branch that I’m able to sit and lay my legs across. I plant myself where I won’t fall. I finally feel like I can relax as I shut my eyes.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
