Chapter Three
I woke up in a panic. I didn't mean to fall asleep so quick. I got out of bed and looked around. It was dark out. I looked over to the alarm clock sitting on the nightstand beside the bed and it read 3:09AM. So I walked over to the nightstand and grabbed my car keys. I hurried outside to grab my body pillow that I left in the car. Hoping that no one sees me. I made it in and out successfully, not bumping into anyone. As soon as I got into my hotel room, the hotel phone started ringing. I immediately started to panic. I rushed over and hesitantly answered the phone. "...Hello?"
"Sorry if I woke you, but you seem to have left your lights on." The woman from the lobby said.
"Oh, thank you so much. I'll take care of that." A wave of relief rushed through my body. I quickly went back downstairs and turned my lights off and hurried back inside. And when I got back inside, MY phone began to ring. I rushed over and picked it up to see that it was Will calling. I don't know if I should answer it or not.
My thumb found its way to the green button and I heard his voice. "Jess? Hello?" I slowly brought the phone up to my ear and whispered, "William?"
"Oh, Jessica. I was so worried about you. Where are you? I'll come pick you up right now." I could hear him picking up his keys and putting his shoes on.
"Will, no. I've finally escaped you. I don't want you back. Please don't call again." I quickly hung up and threw my phone on the bed. Just as it landed, it started ringing again.
It was him.
I answered. "Will-"
"Jessica. We love each other. We're not separating. Tell me where you are. I'll come pick you up right now. " he interrupted me.
I sighed. "I'm at Portwood Inn Hotel." He always wins. "I'll be there in 10 minutes. Stay put, babe." Ugh, I cringe when he calls me babe now.
Just as he said, ten minutes later he showed up. I texted him and told him to come inside for a bit. Shortly, I saw his lights turn off and he walked inside. I grabbed my room key and met him downstairs. We silently walked back to the room together.
When we got into the room, I slapped the key on the table and ran my fingers through my hair. I felt his eyes on me. "You're so beautiful Jessica. Our baby is going to be beautiful like you." My heart fluttered. He never called me beautiful. It was always 'cute' or 'hot'. Sometimes 'pretty'. So when he called me beautiful, I loved it.
He walked over to me and brushed my hair out of my face. He slowly leaned in and kissed my forehead. He's trying to win me back. He's doing all the things that I love. He started planting kisses all over my face and the last one, on my lips. He lingered there for a while. He pulled back and looked me in the eye. "I love you so much Jessica."
"I love you too, Will." I said quietly. I really do love him, I just wish he wasn't abusive. If only he could change.
He leaned in again and this time, I leaned in as well. He pressed his lips to mine and stayed there. Soon, I felt warm tears touch my lips. He was crying. Or was I? No, it was definitely him. I pulled back and wiped his tears away. "Why are you crying?"
"I'm so sorry Jessica. For hurting you. I need you. I'm going to change and be better for you. And our baby. I can't wait to have a family with you." He smiled a small smile and then pecked me on the lips. "Now let's get back home." He tried to pull me by my hand but I didn't move.
"I wanna stay here tonight. It's late and I want to sleep. You can go back but I'm staying." He looked at me and nodded. "I'll stay with you. You'll sleep in my arms. Come on."
