It's Your Time

Chapter 2 "Too Much Trouble"

Jessica's hands rested on his chest. She was crying to hard to speak.

"WHY HER?" She cried.

"I'm sorry Jessica." Holt replied not having any words to explain what happened.

"It's o-okay." She sniffled. "Take me back. Please."

Holt stared at her in disbelief. "If that's what you want."

Jessica nodded and began walking to the dorm, her eyes red with hurt and tears. Holt cuddled her as they walked. He had never seen her so sad even though it was a death of someone close to her. They walked slowly and got to her dorm in 17 minutes. They took a couple of breaks when Jessica had had her breakdowns. As Holt turned to leave to go to his building, Building D, Jessica grabbed his wrist. He turned to face her.

"I'd feel more comfortable if, if," She paused not being able to finish her sentence.

"What is it Jessica?" He cuddled her in his strong arms.

"If you'd sleep with me."

Holt blushed but nodded as Jessica led him into her room. Jessica got dressed in her pjs and jumped into bed with him.

"I can't be alone again." Jessica spoke softly as she shut her eyes and fell asleep with Holt cuddling her closely.

*****

The next morning Holt had woken up early. He had wanted to call the police and tell them what they had saw. He walked outside the dorm room, taking a key with him so he didn't bother Jessica when he came in.

As Holt turned on his cellphone he noticed flashing lights from outside. The police were already here and were coming upstairs. He turned off his phone and sprinted into Jessica's room. He began trying to shake her awake forcefully.

"JESSICA WE GOT TO GET UP NOW. PACK UP YOUR THINGS!" He yelled at her.

Jessica sat up rubbing her eyes.

"What is it Holt?" She yawned.

"I'll explain later! Now quickly, get your stuff! We'll be gone for a long time!" He ordered forcing her to get out of bed. "We need to move!"

Jessica began to pack her things quickly, not knowing what to pack. Holt started to pick at the window. When the window was open and they were ready them jumped out.

Of course, Jessica had to land on her ankle the wrong way and twisted her ankle causing Holt to carry her until they finally got to the forest behind the school.

Jessica winced in pain. "Holt... It-it really hurts!" She whined softly. "I know. We will have to get a wrap for it at the local market or something." He replied trying to figure out their next move. "I don't think I can walk on it. How will we get anywhere when they're right in our tails?" Jessica thought out loud. "I don't know okay!" Holt shouted getting frustrated.

"THERE THEY ARE!" "GET 'EM!" All of a sudden, Holt was running with Jessica with their stuff and dogs were chasing after him forgetting all about Jessica and how he left her. The police right behind their dogs.
