Rescue Me

Chapter 2: Juliet

It is now 8 at night. After work I had to stop at the store using our food stamps and the little amount of tips I got. The tips left over I hide under my bed with the rest of my savings.

I have already put the triplets to bed and put the groceries away and am heading towards my room when there is a small knock on my front door.

Panic sets in and my first thought is it's either someone looking for my father because he didn't pay them or CPS here to take the triplets.

Steeling my spine I slowly walk to the door. Looking through the peep hole I see a boy with curly hair so dark it almost looks black, honey colored eyes and a dazzling smile. In his hands he's holding what looks like a plate of cookies.

Opening the door I look up to him, he's easily a foot taller than my 5 foot 3 inch self.
"Hi can I help you"
He stares at me for a second before saying "Hi I'm Amos, my parents and I just moved in next door and I just wanted to introduce myself."

Now it's my turn to stare at him. Not only is he totally gorgeous but he also has a panty dropping Spanish accent.

"Oh well it's nice to meet you Amos. I hope you enjoy living here."

"It's nice to meet you too.."

He slightly raises an eyebrow and half smiles staring at me. It takes me a minute to process that he's waiting for my name.

"Oh sorry I'm Juliet"

"Juliet. That's a beautiful name. Well these are for you, my mom made them, they are snickerdoodle I hope that's okay."

"Oh thank you, as a matter of fact snickerdoodle is my favorite so tell your mom thank you very much."
"I'll tell her" he says with a half smile.
I take the cookies from him and hear the start of a cry from the triplets room. As I'm shutting the door I say "thank you it was great to meet you" and fully shut the door locking it.

Even though he did seem very sweet I won't take any chances plus why did he come over at 8 at night?

I set the cookies on the table in the entry way and check on Rose. I can tell from the cry which baby it is and usually why. Walking in I pick her up from the crib and start rocking her back to sleep singing 'You are my Sunshine'. I remember my mom singing that song to me over and over when I was a kid and it always cheered me up and soothed me to sleep. I do the same thing to the triplets when they are crying and it seems to have the same effect on them.

After successfully getting Rose back to sleep and not waking Ryan and Renee, I walk back to my room locking the door and changing. I know there is no use in locking the door because he always finds a way in but it makes me feel like maybe it will stop him this time.

Since my moms passing almost every night my father comes home nearly blacked out on drugs and alcohol and makes his way to my room.

Not wanting to think about it any longer I crawl into my bed and take some deep breathes trying to tell myself he won't tonight and I'm safe.

Eventually I start to drift off to sleep, exhausted setting from the very little sleep I got last night and the long draining day I had today. I snuggle further into my bed and sleep engulfs me.

My bedroom door slams open causing me to jump awake. My father stumbles in my room. Tears immediately start to fill my eyes and my breathing becomes tight. The dread from what I know is about to happen weighs heavy on my chest.

He makes his way over to my bed and yanks the covers away from me. I let out a small yelp at the forcefulness of it. He grabs my legs and drags me over toward the end of the bed. I kick my legs as hard as I can but he still doesn't let go. I sit up and try to punch him but he grabs my wrists and pins me to the bed.
"Now princess that isn't any way to treat your daddy"

His words cause bile to rise in my throat. I squirm beneath him trying to get him to release me but I know there's no use. Even drunk he is much stronger than I am. He leans on top of my body pinning my legs open with them  between his and the mattress. With his free hand he caresses my face and drags it down my body stopping at the hem of my sweats. "I missed you today princess. Did you miss me too?" I don't say anything and try to get out from underneath him but he pushes down harder on my legs with his.

"I asked you a question. Answer me" he growls.

I know what will happen if I disobey him but if I open my mouth now I will scream and I don't want to wake the triplets.
His fist connects with my jaw in a powerful swing and I whipper beneath him. "I SAID ANSWER ME YOU BITCH" spittle hits my face. I recoil into the mattress as much as I can.

"Yes I missed you " I say to him. I know I'll get much worse the angrier I make him.

"Good. I don't like hurting you princess but you're so stubborn you make me." His hand works it's way up my shirt and cups my breast. I focus on my breathing and the sting of my jaw to try to distract myself from what's about to happen.

Next thing I know my shirt is being torn off of me and thrown to the ground. The roughness of him ripping it and pulling it off of me leaves a burning sting on me.

I cry silently knowing if I make noise I'll be hit again. He gets off of me and I immediately crawl backwards on the bed. He reaches behind him pulling something out that was tucked in the back of his pants and under his shirt.

Rope.

He rips his shirt off and lunges for me again grabbing my ankle and dragging me back under him. This time he has his knees pressed against my forearms so I can't move them, tying the rope around my hands and to my bedpost. With my hands tied he moves to tie my legs and I kick them around hard so he can't grab them and trying to aim for his face. I get one good kick to his head and immediately regret it. He looks up at me with dark eyes and an evil smile. "You're about to regret that princess" he says and I stay quiet with tears streaming down my face. He punches me on the left side of my face with such force my eyes start ringing.

He ties my feet up to the bottom bedposts after taking my pants off. My vision starts to clear up and I see the knife he's holding. I try to squirm but I'm so tightly bound I can't move. He presses the knife to the inside of my hip bone cutting my panties off while also digging into my skin. I can't help the scream that rips through me. He repeats the processes again on the other side.

He throws the now destroyed panties to the ground and rips his pants and boxers off. I focus solely on the pain of the cuts to try to drown out what's about to happen. He puts his hand around my throat squeezing as he opens my legs. I thrash under him from the panic of not being able to breathe. My vision begins to go dark and there's ringing in my ears then everything goes black.
