I knew he would be coming after me, but I felt safe in the freezing cold alley. I hugged myself and burrowed closer to the boxes and the stench of dead animal, which was now a comforting smell, because it meant I wasn't dead yet. I was almost completely naked. My shirt was torn so badly it was practically just a piece of fabric partly covering half of my bra. My jeans were off completely and I wore only the underwear I had put on this morning. The fact that they were still on me reassured me into believing that he hadn't raped me. The sound of footsteps and heavy breathing made me shake in fear. My heart was pounding a thousand miles a minute. I was more worried about the baby than myself.
" Lynn, come here Lynn, i'm not gonna hurt you darling", his words were slurred and it meant he had drank even more after I had ran.
"I see you Lynn, you're behind the boxes, I guess you want me to leave now, or I can take you home and get you some nice clothes to wear", he was baiting me so that I would say something, he didn't actually know I was behind the boxes. I squeezed my body in between the wall and the dumpster right as I heard him kick the boxes around.
"I love you Lynn, I married you, I want to be with you forever", he was crying and it almost made me want to comfort him, but then I remembered the hate in his voice and the murderous look in his eyes. He had held the knife above me for a while, taunting me with the fact that he held my life in his hand. I was his puppet and he could destroy me if he wanted to. The knife had never come down though because I had reared back and kicked him in the shin. I had run as fast as I could without looking back. He was wailing my name now and crying out. I shimmied my body behind the dumpster and out the other side while he was distracted with tearing through the boxes. I ran as fast as I could to the gas station at the corner next to our apartment and threw the doors open. The lady who was working behind the counter screamed when she saw me. A lady buying chocolate bars ran to the door and locked it. She looked vaguely familiar and the last thing I saw before I fell into darkness were the worried faces of Modern Day Escape, my favorite band of all time, and the scared cashier yelling into a phone. I woke up in a hospital room with Sandra Alvarenga looking down at me.
"Hey, how are you, you came into the gas station and scared us, we had to be sure that you were ok, so if the doctors ask, I am your stepsister", he voice was perfect and had a hint of humor in it that lightened the mood. I smiled wearily at her and I noticed a figure in the corner of the room, it was him. My hands starting shaking and I tried to scream, but it came out as a squeak.
"hello sweetheart, I was so worried about you", he said in a menacing voice. Sandra looked instantly concerned and she leaned to whisper in my ear.
"I am going to get help", She said in a hushed voice, my body shook violently and I gasped when I felt his icy cold grip on my leg.
"ok, get well soon Lynn", Sandra said in a fake cheerful voice. When she exited the room I saw him inch toward me.
"stay...away, J...Jason", I stuttered. He laughed wickedly.
"now listen here bitch, I am your husband and you will respect me, is that clear", his voice made me cringe. He was face-to-face with me when the cops stormed into the room and took him down. They told him his rights and led him away in handcuffs. I was free from Jason, and yet I couldn't be more sad. Without Jason, I would be right back on the streets, he was the only reason I actually had food to eat and a roof over my head. Sandra came back into the room.
"I guess we are kind of friends now and I noticed your...ah...condition, so if you need a place to stay, you can stay with me", she said kindly. I smiled appreciatively at her.
"yes, I do need a place to stay", Sandra smiled and gave me her phone number. She told me to call her when I was released. I rubbed my stomach lovingly, I only had a few more tests to make sure my baby was ok before I could go. I was so glad that Jason couldn't hurt her anymore, he was going to pay for what he did.
