~Darcy POV~

Drew grabbed my phone and through it out of his window.

"What the hell was that!?!" I yelled.

"Darcy! Don't you understand! I could go to jail!" Drew yelled.

"You should fucking be in jail you rapist!" I screamed. Drew roughly wiped his lips, and clenched onto the steering wheel. What did I just do? He quickly swerved onto a side road, where there was no houses, no buildings, just woods. He road down the road for a while, and then stopped the car.

"What are you gonna do---" I asked but Drew cut me off.

"Rapist huh?" Drew asked.

"I'm... I'm..." I stuttered.

"Don't say sorry Darcy." Drew snapped. My heart pumped. The hurt I feel, is not even describable. I thought I loved this man, and I thought when we would run away, we would eventually go home. But now I find myself stuck in the car with a rapist, unable to go home. 

"Get in the backseat." Drew said. My breathe hitched, and I squeezed onto the shoulder rest.

"Get into the back seat!" Drew said opening the shoulder rest and slamming it. I almost got my fingers caught in it... I shakily moved to the backseat, and sat down. My whole body shook. That feeling- and that thought of just being locked in a bottle like a Jeanie. Waiting for someone to set me free.

Drew went into the back seat as well, and he looked at me with total darkness. I could feel my heart beat, and my breathing was intense.

"Come here..." Drew said breaking the silence and pulling me close to him.

"No!" I pleaded, he kissed my neck and pulled down my spaghetti strap.

"No! Stop! Don't  rape me!" I screamed and pushed. Even though I couldn't break free, he let go of me.

"Don't do that!" I said in tears. "Don't touch me!" I yelled. My love and respect for Drew all left me all at once.

"I'm sorry..." Drew said, his eyes got red. "I don't--- I don't want to hurt you..." Drew said leaning on the car door. I crawled to the other edge of the seat and put my knees to my chest. Then I wrested my head on the cool window.

"Then why do you hurt me?" I asked, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Darcy... Darcy you don't understand... I love you..." Drew said with sorrow.

"Your a drunk!" I screamed. "Look at you! You are a slob!"

Drew's jaw clenched.

"Your a pig! You--- you use people! People who love and care about you!" I yelled.

"Darcy... I love you!" Drew pleaded.

"Then when are you going to show it!" I yelled putting my feet to the ground and hitting my hands on the leather seat.

"If--- if you LOVED me, you would let me go home! And see my brother! And my mother! And my father! Oh Lord, my father!" I screamed.

"If you loved me... you would let the other people who love me see me too!" I screamed.

"Do you love me Darcy?" Drew asked. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat. After all that Drew has done to me, I still feel that love for him deep in the pit of my stomach. My mind tells me no, don't love him but my heart says the opposite.

It's like going into a hot bathtub. At first, it burns and stings, but in the long wrong the sensation is unmistakably great.

"Darcy... do you love me?" Drew asked once more. My breathe began to shake.

"Yes." I whispered. Drew's eyes lit up.

"Then don't go back... please... just stay with me..." Drew said crawling towards me. He kissed up and down my neck, and I began to dry my tears.

"We are perfect. Just stay." Drew mumbled, the smell of cheap beer coming out of his mouth.

"Ok..." I said.

"If... if... we go back... then I'll go to jail... and we--- we couldn't be together..." Drew said holding my hand and searching my eyes for sympathy.

"I know..." I said.

"So... so... let's stay away from home. In a matter of fact, that's not home anymore. Let's just call it, somewhere only we know." Drew said.

___________________________

Drew and I slept in the backseat of his car with a wool blanket covering us. And the soothing radio played.

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know?

~James POV~

I laid on my bathroom floor naked after coming out of the shower. I just thought of Darcy.

~FLASHBACKS~

"James stop!" Darcy said laughing as I threw her over my shoulder and span her.

There's nothing where she used to lie

"James... I had a nightmare." Darcy said holding her teddy bear close.

"Ok, come in..." I said inviting her in my bed and held her close.

My inspiration has run dry

Darcy and I sat watching the exorcist, and the girl in the exorcist's face became scary.

"James!" Darcy said hiding her face in my chest. I comforted her holding her close.

That's what's going on... cause' nothings right, I'm torn

~FLASHBACKS END~

I held seven pills in my hand, without my sister I didn't want to live. I was about to swallow them, until.

"Babe! What are you doing!?!" Nick asked running in. I began to cry and I dropped the pills.

"What is going on!?!" Nick asked sitting next to me and enveloping me in a hug.

"Don't do that!" Nick said. "I know you miss your sister, but please, don't leave me..." He said, and I cried into his chest.

"I miss her!" I cried.

"Sh... sh..." Nick said cradling me.

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, I'm already torn
