Chapter Fifty Five- Missing Time

        Waking up, Jennifer was at Colin and her old apartment. She was wrapped warmly in a blanket but was resting her ankle on ice. As well as her cheek. The clothes she wore the day before were nowhere to be seen and she was wearing button-up pajamas. She looked over to find Colin asleep on the couch. His knuckles were wrapped with bandages and his face had been beat up somewhat bad, but she knew by the evidence that whatever happened was for her protection. As she went to move, an immense amount of pain rushed to her ankle which made her squeal. This then made Colin wake up.

        "How do you feel?" He asked as he winced.

        "You look far worse than me..." She said pointing toward his face and his wounds.

        "I feel alright knowing you are okay..."

        "What happened?" She asked as she rubbed her head and closed her eyes trying to remember.

        "After we fought, I sat in my car for a few minutes before I saw his car pull up and he walked to your apartment-I'm assuming. You came down with him so I followed you. You can get mad at me later. So I sat in the car for about twenty minutes until I became anxious. Pacing outside for about an hour, I tried to get in but found the door jammed shut. I rushed around the building and found an open window. That's when I did this..." Lifting up his shirt on his left shoulder was a long scar. "It caught on the window as I got in. As I fell on the floor I saw you unconscious and tied to the bed with some strong rope. I tried untying it at first but then tried to cut it..." He paused for a moment as he saw her take in every word as if it were oxygen.

        "Then?" She asked anxiously.

        "You began to run when he caught you, he knocked me with a board. Things were double for me for a while. He stepped on your foot, breaking it..." He put his head down. "I'm sorry I couldn't stop that...but when he went to turn, I hit him. We went back and forth with punches for what I felt was half an hour before I knocked him clean out. I carried you to the car and drove you to the hospital. I believe the wounds on your face are from whatever he did to you before..."

        "Did he?" She asked the question quick, but he got the full question by her look.

        "No. He was about to. When he found me, he was in mid-changing. Jeans remained but pajama shirt...."

        "Are you alright?"

        "I would be better to know why you were mad at me. All of this makes me believe all the stupid stuff doesn't matter..."

        "Stupid? You knocking up your wife isn't stupid..."

       He froze with fear, in that moment he was anxious, nervous, and terrified on her reaction to this news.
