Garrett

Safe...for now

"Do you drink tea?" Jaxon asks as i'm sitting down in his dining room.

"Sweet tea." I answer.

He pours me a cup and sits next to me.
"Thank you". I take a sip.

"So how long have you been captive? Did you even finish college?"

"I been captive for 2 in a half years I believe, and after he took me, he suggested I do online school to finish my course but I had gotten so depressed that I dropped out completely." I shake my head.

"Did you ever plan on escaping or have you tried leaving?"

I giggle, "yeah of course, wouldn't anybody try escaping? It never works.."

I stare down into my tea cup and see the steam rising and fading away as it drifts up into the air, I look around the area for sugar packets..
"I'm surpised I still got a mind and a functional brain, all the things i've seen and been put through.."

Jaxon doesn't say anything, just observing me. Not an awkward way, I actually don't mind him staring because it doesn't look like he's about to fuck me 20 times.

"So like, is it called sex trafficking right? This man kidnapped me and basically made me his slave and my vagina is-"

"Would you like to leave? Start a new life?" His face expression soft and concerned..

I would love too. But... how? Where am I? Where do I start? Who can I call that hasn't forgotten about me? My parents? God i'm so scared to pick up a phone. Im scared not knowing if he already killed them or what I dont know. I dont even know what the outside world is like anymore I've been kept away and manipulated and beaten for 2 years. It felt like 20 years...

I could never go back to my parents, Garrett would find me.

He rests his hand on my thigh but immediately takes it off because im guessing he doesnt want to frighten me or make me uncomforable. I mean I am the one on his lap but im so used to having to earn a privilege from Garrett then him making me sit on his lap like a little baby..

"I know youre confused. But Im gonna be here with you the whole time helping you and keeping you safe until you can adjust and get your life back okay?" He rubs my back and gets me to stand up.

I hug him, Tightly. Can I trust this man? Definitely not! But as this point, hearing him say those things make me remember how it felt to feel safe with somebody. I always have to watch my back and be alerted 24/7, because I never know whats going to happen next. I don't know if Jaxon is being genuine or not but im willing to take a risk. I mean, my life has already ended anyway. I have no hope or faith anymore, from here on out everything that happens, I am just going to let it go with the flow. Backing up I realize I'm very tired, but I also want to take an hour long hot bubble bath. With absoulte silence.

"Is it okay if I can take a bath?"

He smiles, "Glad youre comforable enough to ask, of course you can follow me."

I follow him down a short hallway, the house isnt big or small. Just right and cozy.
There's 3 rooms. 2 Bedrooms with full bathrooms and a library, my favorite.

"My room is here on the left, so the one on the right obviously you can have. It has a small pantry and a refridgerator stocked with food, also you have 2 very small washer and dryer machines. I made this room feel like a tiny house so you wouldnt have to leave this room, you can have all the time in here alone without coming out. You can come out anytime but I want this to make you feel free and gain your independence again, and of course also doing everything on your own time. Not a schedule." He looks down at me, I know im very tiny now. Body of age between 11-13.

I smile at him, hes so sweet. "Thank you so much, I have a question."

He stares waiting like im about to ask something bizarre. "Is there a stove in there too? I don't mind coming out but I would like to spend atleast 2 weeks in there alone, I wanna cook too though so.." I look up through my long lashes.

"Yes, theres a back room in there. Its isolated by everything else because its a stove and its hazardous and....things could get out of control so it'll be easier that its back there so you have more space to be in your room. So really, it is like a mini house." He chuckles then opens the door to my new room.

"Good lord!" Im frozen in my tracks. I love it.

I hug him and he hugs back tightly. "Please kiss my forehead.."

I feel him tense up, pulls away but just a little.
I continue to dig my head into his chest, im just desperate to feel love, to feel some kind of feeling or emotion. I just feel so blah and gone..

"I know I said there were no rules here but I do have just one...Please look at me when I say this."

I know what hes gonna say, i brace myself for it anyway with teary eyes. Omg why am I crying?

"That one rule is, you can't fall in love with me. Promise me." At this point hes holding my face while im trying not to burst out crying dramatically, what the hell is wrong with me anyway..

"I promise." He hugs me once more and I take one look back at him before closing the door. Im gonna lock myself in here for 2 weeks to see if i can get adjusted and think straight finally for once. He said hes just next door i can always come out when i want company or help or anything at that. But i think ill do fine alone for a while..
