Falling For The Jerk

Chapter 18

Chapter 18



I wake up by a bright light being shined in my face.

"Wakey Wakey Sunshine!" Someone drawls.

I squint my eyes to see who it is but I can't seem to make out a face. I try to move my hands to block out the light from my face, but find out I can't move them. I'm tied to some kind of table with my hands to my side. The events from last night come rushing to me and I let out a gasp.

"Who are you?" I ask shakily.

"You're worst nightmare," the person responds.

"That's kind corny, I'm serious if this is some kind of sick joke.. It's not funny," I say seriously.

The light is turned off and instead I'm surrounded by darkness. I feel hands untying the rope that has me tied to the table.

"What's happening?" I ask.

"Shut up!" Demands the person.

I'm pushed into a wooden chair and my wrists and ankles are bound again.

"What the F***?!" I scream and a hand connects with my right cheek making it sting.

"I SAID SHUT UP YOU LITTLE WHORE!" I flinch at the voice and finally the lights are turned on. I gasp when I see a big burly man standing in front of me. The room is filled with men lining the walls and watching me. There are a few women here and there too and it frightens me. A few of the women grimace when he raises his voice and shoot me a sympathetic look.

"What am I doing here?" I whisper not wanting him to get mad.

"Well well.. You're little shit of a boyfriend thinks he can just run away from his problems and start a new life," he says running a finger up my arm and I shiver in disgust. With that he leaves the room and I'm left alone in the room.



JAKE'S POV



"WHERE IS SHE?!?" I demand into the phone.

"I don't-" I cut him off before he can finish.

"DON'T LIE TO ME YOU LITTLE FUCK! I WANT KNOW WHERE SHE IS AND IF YOU DON'T TELL ME I WILL FIND OUT AND THEN COME FIND YOU!" I yell and wait for a reply.

"I'm not-" his voice quivers a little and I know he is lying.

"Be ready because when I find her you're dead," I growl into the phone and throw it at the wall causing it to shatter.

Great. Just great. I no longer have a phone. If something happens to her I will never forgive myself. I hear a knock at the door and open it to see a crying Natalia.

"What the fu-?" Before I can finish she throws herself into my chest.

"It's all my fault!" She cries and I shake my head.

"You didn't know something was going to happen," I whisper hugging her.

"S-still.. I shouldn't have forced you to come with me," she says sniffling.

"It's okay.. I will find her," I say calming her down.

"Wait.. I think I know where she is," I say forming an idea in my head and grabbing my car keys.

On the way out I run into Robert, Blake, and Alex.

"Hey I heard what happened," says Robert walking beside me.

"I think I know where she is.. Remember that old building beside the ware house?" I say and Robert nods.

"The gang used to have meetings in there without us all the time.. Maybe.. He uses it for his own personal use," I say with a shudder.

"We are coming with you," says Alex and Natalia joins in.

"Fine.. Get in the car," I say climbing in to driver's seat.



ASHLEY's POV



I wake up to a sad looking woman who is carrying a tray of food. She closes the door and unties the rope and lets me eat. The whole time I eat she just watches me, making me feel self conscious.

I finish the food and she ties me back, but not as tightly. She quickly looks behind her and pulls out a pocket knife from her pocket and slips it under my leg. I look up at her gratefully, but she gathers the tray and plates and leaves. I decide to wait a little longer until I make my escape because I need a plan first.

I mentally decide to make my way out of the room and call for help since I don't know the layout of the building. I wait for what I think is an hour before I silently untie my wrists and cut the rope off my ankles. I hiss in pain when I touch the area where the rope has made a mark into my skin. Clutching the pocket knife in my right hand I gently open the door of the room and peek outside to see nobody.

It must be night because its really quiet. I tip toe down the hallway careful not to make a sound. I peek around the corner to see a man standing in front of a door like he is guarding it. He sees me and starts yelling while running towards me. Not knowing what to do I kick him where the sun doesn't shine and sharply punch him in the throat. He immediately falls to the ground one hand clutching his throat trying to breath and the other hand holding his down there parts.

I hear thundering foot steps and yelling coming towards me and start running as fast as I can.

"Shit!" I curse.

"YOU THERE! STOP!" I hear a man yelling but I don't listen.

I turn various corners trying to lose the men and don't notice when I run straight into somebody.

"AAAAHHH!" I scream as I fall on the person and we both fall backwards.

"Ashley?! Is that you?! THANK GOD!" Whispers Blake.

"Blake?! What are you doing here? Where's Jake?" I ask getting up. I no longer hear the yelling so I pull him down the hall.

"We all split up to look for you," he says trying to be quiet.

"We?" I ask.

"Yeah.. Jake, Natalia, Alex, that Robert guy and me," he responds and my eyes widen.

"This is a dangerous place! Why are you guys here?! I was going to get out! Omygod if any of you get hurt!" I rant on but he stops me.

"Calm down! And shut up someone is coming," he says pulling me behind a huge crate which conceals us.

The footsteps get closer and I hold my breath. They stop at the crate but don't look behind it, instead the person keeps walking and rounds the corner and disappears.

"Phew," I say letting out my breath.

"Follow me, I know the way out," he whispers.

I quietly follow him and thankfully nobody else comes around the corner. We safely make it to the door which makes it outside and I hurry and open it. In that moment three things happen. I hear a gun shot and a sharp pain in my side then I look up to see Jake running towards me with a pained expression and I fall to the ground clutching my side.

"ASHLEY!" Screams Alex.

"Fuck! Babe keep your eyes open don't fall asleep!" Jake pleads.

"Someone call 911!" Screams Alex.

"It hurts like a bitch!" I hiss through my teeth.

Next thing I know, Jake is pummeling the big man who kept me hostage and who also shot me. Robert and Blake are holding the guy as Jake sends fist after fist at the guy's face. Suddenly I start to get really sleepy and the side of my shirt is drenched with blood.

"No! Ashley! Stay with me! Don't close your eyes!" Screams Alex pulling my head onto her lap.

Finally I hear sirens coming towards us. My head starts to ache at how loud it is.

"Everyone step back!" Demands a voice. I can't tell because my eyes are closed and my head is swimming.

"Baby I got you," murmurs Jake picking me up bridal style and laying me down on a stretcher.

"Are you family?" Asks somebody.

"No," he answers.

"Then you can't get in the ambulance now step back," says the voice.

"I sure as hell can.. And I don't give a fuck if you let me on that ambulance willingly or unwillingly," he threatens.

"No need to get violent sir, hurry and get in we need to take care of the guy on the ground over there," the person says shutting the doors after we are both inside.

Right after the doors close, Jake grabs my hand and I fall asleep.
