CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: ANDIE/SARGE

Jesse fell asleep around 8:30, I had to admit that he looked cute when he slept with his head against my leg.

I hope that he figures out how to save me, then maybe this would be our second chance to be happy.

I moved his hair away from his neck and saw a tattoo, but the dim lighting in the room made it hard to make out what it was supposed to be.

"Mmm...that tickles." Jesse moaned as I ran my fingers over the marks on his skin.

"Mmrr..." I groaned as I felt a dull ache in the pit of my stomach.

"Andie, are you okay?" Jesse asked sleepily.

"Yeah, its just a little pain...I'll be fine." I said as I tried to ignore the pain.

"You're not okay Andie." Jesse said as he got up and looked me over. "Let me see..."

I moved my hand away from my stomach and watched as he pulled my shirt up slightly.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he placed his hand on the bare skin of my belly. "Ah fuck...that hurts."

"Sorry Darling." Jesse apologized, but he didn't move his hand away. "Lay down Andie."

"Why, so you can hurt me more?" I asked as I pushed him away. "Just leave me alone."

"I just want to help you." Jesse said softly.

"I'll be...mmrr...fine." I said as the sharp pain grew inside me.

"You aren't fine Andie...just let me help you." Jesse said as he came back over to me. "You know what will make the pain stop, all you have to do is let me do it." 

"No...not here." I protested as I looked him in the eyes. "This place is filthy."

"Beggars can't be choosers Andie, if you want the pain to stop this is the only way." Jesse said as he ran his hands over my thighs.

"Even if I wanted to...we can't." I said as I tried to resist my urges.

"Don't worry she won't hear us this time." Jesse said before kissing me roughly.

At first I kissed him back, but in the back of my mind I knew that I needed to stop this.

"Mmm...Jesse stop." I hummed as I pushed him away again. "Ashley isn't why I don't want to do this...its the fact that I'm afraid."

"Afraid of what?" Jesse asked as he sat down next to me on the edge of the table. "What are you afraid of Andie?"

"You wouldn't let me check the upstairs...what if there are more Romeros up there?" I asked with a small quiver in my voice.

"Andie we'll be fine, I won't let anything bad happen to you or Ashley." Jesse retorted softly. "I may not be the best shot, but I am good at other things."

"That doesn't really help in a situation like this Jesse." I said with a small amused smirk.

"At least I made you smile." Jesse said as he returned the smile. "Do you want to go check the upstairs together?"

"I don't want to leave Ashley down here alone, what if -"

"Alright I'll go get her then." Jesse said as he got up and headed into the living room. "Ashley come on, we're going upstairs."

I heard Ashley groan as she got off the couch with her things.

"You can leave those down here, I'll come get them when we're done." I said as I took the teddy and blanket away from her.

"What are we doing?" Ashley asked softly.

"Just checking things out upstairs." I said before picking her up. "You have to stay on my back."
