MAJOR TW: SEXUAL ASSAULT/ATTEMPTED RAPE

Her breath was shaky and her nerves were shot as she stared Cody down. She was cursing herself for installing those bars on the window. He took a step towards her and she instinctively took one back, maintaining their distance. She cursed herself for not letting Rocco come with her. She needed to get to her gun. How did he get in?

"You don't look happy to see me Dollface. I worked so hard for tonight. Our night." Her eyes darted to the door he was currently standing in front of, her only exit. "You know, Stace was almost a good partner. Until it came to sending you that warning. Had to threaten her parents so she would even go though with it."

Things were starting to come together, that apprehensive look in Stace's eyes that night. Her eyes furrowed and she felt a tightness in her chest. "Oh my God. Did you...?" Her voice caught in her throat. "Did I what Dollface?... I took care of Stace, couldn't have her running to the cops." She shook her head in disgust and moved back trying to get to the bathroom. He noticed and moved with her, like some sick and demented dance.

"And those two guys you've been whoring around with. I can forgive you for that, we can move past that, but I needed them out of the picture." A choked sob escaped her mouth. She knew it would come to this Cody hurting the boys, she had made him less of a threat in her mind, made herself too comfortable in her new life. The boys had come in and broke down all of her walls leaving her vulnerable to men like Cody.

"You're a fucking bastard." She said through blurry eyes, the anger in her was starting to flare. "Dollface." He started with a concerned look. "I told you, I've put so much into tonight, to make it special. Just you and me." He closed the gap, rushing her. She tried to stumble back but he grabbed her hair and had a death grip on her waist. He pulled her in close and kissed her rough.

Her mind was reeling, her options for escape were slowly decreasing. As she stared at his closed eyes, time almost stood still with a plan forming in her head. She closed her eyes and softened her lips on his, opening her mouth and inviting him in and when he slipped his tongue into her mouth she bit down, hard. When he pulled away both of his hands flew to his mouth as blood pooled and seeped from it.

She saw her chance and ran for the door. She hadn't made it two feet when his hand fisted her hair pulling her pack to him. He pushed her towards the bed and when she turned to fight back she felt blinding pain in her face as his fist connected with her cheek bone. She fell back hitting her head hard on her bed frame, she grasped the back of her head feeling the slick stickiness on her hand from where her head had split.

A wave of panic washed over her and he kneeled down in front of her, she was pinned between the side of the bed and him as he grasped her hair again keeping her in place. "I don't think you appreciate everything I've had to do for us to have this time together." The anger in his eyes was at full tilt. She felt the tears escape her eyes as she smiled at him, blood staining her teeth, almost as if accepting this was it. "We will never be together."

She watched as his upper lip curled and he breathed hard from his nose trying to compose himself. "Like I said, if I can't have you no one will." His fist connected over and over with her face until she was bloodied and just before she slipped into unconsciousness she thought she had heard ringing, had the boys woke up? She feared she would never know.

He threw her limp, unconscious body onto the bed and smiled down at her "we're gonna have tonight, tonight your mine."

Rocco was pacing the room, the doctors had returned the twins to their room and they were both still out. Doc had fallen asleep in a nearby chair, waiting for Ashley to get back. Rocco glanced at the clock again, he should've gone with her, taken the tongue lashing he would've gotten and gone with her.
