Waiting for Superman ~ Part 3 (3rd & Final Book of Hero or Hellian Trilogy)

4

My whole body hurts and stings when I come to and realize that I am in a hotel room. I am still in my shredded dress and I can tell I have road rash all over plus I can only see out of one eye.

I try to sit and begin to cry from the pain and shame I have just experienced and when he walks in the room I want to cry more. Of course it isn't Jolin, my superman, and it is not Stefan, it is Tyson, my ex from the English world.

I know what this is and I just lay back down knowing what is to come as my mind echoes with the threat Tyson said when I dumped him. ""This is not over! I have dated you for 2 years and have got nothing out of it and I'm telling you now that this isn't over. You can walk out right now Jewels but this is not over. I will find you and we will settle this right. You owe me a lot and as you know I am a debt collector and sweetheart you owe a lot."

He stand above me and looks down at me with dark eyes as he gently touches the side of my face. "Its been a long time Jewels. You know how to disappear but not forever."

I want to cry and scream but I am too frightened and in pain to open my mouth or allow the tears to fall.

"Luck proves to be on my side. Last night I was damn lucky to have come across you laying alone in the alley unconscious. Saved me a lot of headache on how to get you alone babe. Don't worry though, I'm not here to hurt you."

I don't believe him. I vividly recall the terrifying look in his eyes the last time I saw him and it makes me shiver and whimper as a tear falls down my cheek.

"Shhhh." He softly says while still caressing the side of my face. "I will order some lunch for us and we can talk." And with that he walks to the phone and orders a Philly sandwich which I remember being his favorite and then he surprises me as he orders a turkey club with avocado with a side of broccoli and cheese sauce. They are items I used to always order when we dated.

While waiting he helps me up and into the bathroom where I get into the shower where I cry from heartache, pain, and misery. I missed Jolin so much and felt empty and alone without him. I was no longer safe and with the enemies I had it appeared that I couldn't protect myself.

The water stung every where it touched and I nearly fainted as I scrubbed my wounds and so by the time I was washed, I was exhausted.

Tyson only had a robe for me which I put on before I stepped out just as the food arrived.

We sat down together and ate in silence which was a struggle, I was hungry but putting food in my belly was making me sick and to add to it, the food seemed tasteless to me which I knew was because of how I felt. I was a wreck both physically and emotionally, hell I had just been raped close to 12 hours ago and now I was trapped in a hotel room with a neurotic ex boyfriend who was not fooling me.

After we ate I wanted to sleep but then Tyson took out a bottle of wine which again was one of my favorites and at this time I wanted to do whatever to get away from the situation and so without hesitation I began drinking.

I ended up drinking the whole body which included at least half of Tyson's glass he had poured.

I told him I was tired and I went and laid down in the bed still wearing the robe and he came up and laid behind me so we were spooning and I passed out.

When I awoke I was seriously shocked that I still had the robe on and there was a set of clothes on the bed which I hurriedly put on and Tyson comes in just when I walk out of the bathroom and he smiles at me and tells me he has got us ready to go home.

I shake my head and say, "I've got a friend waiting for me."

He replies, "Your friend Tink thinks you ditched her and she has gone back to Lancaster."

This shocks me and I ask, "How do you know that?"

"She was down in the lobby checking out and was venting to the receptionist saying how she and her friend went to a gypsy party and her friend ended up ditching her again but only backwards. First her friend ditched her for the Amish and now this friend has ditched her again for gypsies. "

This hurts knowing I unintentionally hurt Tink again and I promised I would never do it.

"I have to get back to Lancaster fast." I say and walk to the door which he opens for me and takes me to his car where we head back to Pennsylvania.

When we get back we got straight to his place where I so stupidly follow him up to his apartment to help him hurry and take care of his cat. I was in such a rush to see Tink I seriously became stupid as I thought I could make this go fast by helping change the litter box and feed the damn thing.

Wrong. It was a trap and I fell for it. I fell for all of it! I was so stupid to think he was just trying to be nice! Why didn't I listen to my gut?

He slammed me against the wall so hard it knocked the wind out of me and there was the menacing smile.

"Time to pay up babe."

I don't move. I don't scream. The only thing I do is stare off at nothing as the tears slowly drip from my eyes.
