Chapter 32 - Vulnerable

Disclaimer: The themes that are discussed in this chapter are mature.

Jenn POV

I woke up to the sudden pain of being thrown to the floor, and a loud bang. I groggily opened my eyes, and looked around. My head throbbed as I struggled to look side to side. From behind me, I heard muffled talking, but turned my head to only see a metal bench that I was once sitting on before being thrown down here.

I examined my surroundings; this was definetely not the o2l house. It almost looked like a-

BANG!

I cringed from pain as I found myself being thrown up into the air, and back down again with a thud. With another loud honk noise from behind me, I suddenly realized my location. Oh my god. I was in the back of a work truck, where equipment would normally be placed. How did I get here? Who?

With a small gulp, I realized the answer. Matt.... What did he want with me?

I tried to get up, but discovered I couldn't; My wrists were tied behind my back.With a sudden hault of the vehicle, I was slammed into the metal bench, and I was left once more cringing from pain.

The bright light outside streamed inside the back of the truck, causing me to squint my eyes shut tight. Three young men gathered at the opened door, staring at me with unforgiving expressions.

"Lemme see her," Matt demanded, pushing through the crowd. He stopped to glare pleasingly at my helpless state, then climbed into the truck to get closer to me.

From my cemented position on the ground, I looked up at him with scared eyes. Thoughts of concern and fear flowed through my head; what would he dare do to me? I swallowed the large lump in my throat as I was afraid I already knew the answer. From behind Matt, the three men chuckled, noticing my scared expression.

"I like seeing you this vulnerable, I think I'll keep you that way for a while," Matt smirked, sticking a piece of tape on my mouth. Then, he swiftly turned on his heel to exit the truck, slamming the door behind him, making me jump.

With a jolt, the vehicle started again, and I gently closed my eyes, trying to forget about the nightmare that I was currently living. Right now, you may be wondering how I could be so calm in a situation like this. However, that wasn't entirely true; I was terrified. I knew what Matt was capable of, and there was no way I could get out of this on my own. If I ran away, I knew Matt could find me again. Until I find a way to wake up from this nightmare, I had to face the truth; I was trapped, vulnerable, and broken with my Jack.

Jack.... My heart ached just thinking about him. I hoped I would be back in his arms soon enough, even though I knew deep down inside that it would not be the case until a long while. I know Jack is worried sick right now; he is probably out looking for me. I wished I could scream and it would all be over... Or it would be just a dream; I could just pinch my arm and I woke wake up by Jack's side.

But sadly for me, I knew that this nightmare of mine was far from over....

TIME SKIP

I woke up to a rough shaking in a new room. The floor was concrete and the walls were a dirty off white painted brick. I felt my eyes close slowly again, as much as I tried to fight it.

"I said, get up damn it," A voice shouted, followed by a kick to my stomach.

I gasped out in pain and crunched into a small ball. A voice impatiently groaned behind me, and soon I was picked up by my right arm and thrown to my feet. The sudden weight almost made me fall over but I soon adjusted to the standing position as the pounding in my head subsided.

Another man walked into the room, and gestured for me, "Matt will see you now," he said flatly, reaching out to grab my arm.

Suddenly, an overwhelming flow of fear went through my body, causing me to freeze in my spot. In an attempt to shake off the terrifying thoughts running through my head, I narrowed my eyes, bringing the room back into clear vision.

The man roughly grabbed my arm, and trailed me behind him, trudging me into another small room where Matt was sitting in a wooden chair. He tossed me towards Matt, and I practically landed in Matt's lap, looking helplessly up at him.

Matt held my up only by my armpits, leaving the rest of my body to slouch onto the carpet behind me. I looked down, not daring to look in his eyes. Roughly, he lifted my chin to make me look at him. Matt smirked, clearly satisfied, and threw me back down onto the ground.

"Tell me you love me," Matt slurred, getting closer to me. I tried to retreat away, but he held my feet in their places, keeping me stuck. I gulped, and shook my head."Tell me! Tell me you love me," He shouted, losing patience.

Finally I found my voice, "No," I whispered.

"What the hell did you just say to me?" Matt screamed, grabbing my chin to bring me closer to his face. He smelled like hard liquor, and his eyes twitched furiously from my body to my eyes. With that gesture, I suddenly realized what he wanted, and the colour drained from my face.

"I don't think you understand me, I asked you a question. When I ask, you answer!"

I went to open my mouth, but he lifted his hand from my chin, slapping me roughly on my right cheek. I screamed out in pain, and he silenced me by covering my mouth, shoving me fully onto the ground.

"I think I better teach you a lesson on manners. You seem to be somewhat troublesome since we've broken up..." Matt slurred, smirking. He grabbed a bottle of whiskey off the shelf, chugging the excess that was left; a little less than a half. Matt came towards me and pinned me to the ground; he forced my mouth open, and shoved a pill down my throat before I could shake free. Suddenly, I felt very drowsy, and before I knew it, I blacked out.

TIME SKIP

When I awoke, I was alone in a small concrete room, covered in bruises and scars. It hurt to move, and I was covered in sweat. It took a while for me to process what had just happened to me, but all of sudden, it all became so real. I needed to escape. I needed to be treated with love, and not violence. And, on top of it all, I needed Jack.
