Abused(On Hold)

Chapter 25

I woke up the next morning in his arms. He smiled at me when I woke up and I smiled back. I can’t believe that I’m actually in love with this person. I thought that I was in love with Tyler, but I guess not.  John looked so cute after just waking up. His hair was messy, all of the sudden, the door flung open. John jumped to the other side of me, to block me. I couldn’t see who was at the door, but when I felt John relax I knew it was nobody bad. He sat up and got off the bed. A little girl was lying on the floor. I remember Jamie/Claire telling me that she had two daughters. John got off the bed and ran over to her. She looked surprised to see him, but went into his arms none the less. I felt so bad watching him care for the little girl that wasn’t really his.  I was laying there when he sat back down on the bed. He laid Carly in the bed and laid down next to her. He looked at me and attempted a smile. I wrapped my arms

around the little girl and snuggled closer to them. John grabbed my hand and we waited for Carly to go to bed. When she was asleep I got up and went to the bathroom.  I started the bath and John came in. “Are you ok?” he asked. “Yea i’m fine”, I said. He walked closer to me and wrapped his arm around my waist. “Baby please don’t lie to me” , he whispered. I nodded and faced him. His lips found mine and soon we forgot about the bathwater and everything around us. When I felt water touch my ankles I jumped. John cursed and shut the water off. When we had the mess all cleaned up we got into the bath. I totally forgot the Dave was gonna come up and that John and I were going to get married today. When Dave came into the bathroom I jumped. He told us to hurry that we only had a few minutes before we needed to be downstairs. We waited for Dave to leave the bathroom before getting out.

We got dressed in a hurry. John watched me get dressed. Dave had went out and bought new clothes. The dress that I was putting on was stunning. John looked hot in his tuxedo. We rushed to the bedroom, and found Dave standing there ready to take us downstairs. He took John and I downstairs. He led us to the altar and then sat down on the couch. When John took my hands those familiar sparks shot through my body. I smiled and he smiled back. The priest led us in the ceremony. Finally when it was all over the priest said that he may kiss the bride.  John kissed me passionately. I could tell that Dave didn’t like this, because he cleared his throat. I grabbed Carly from his arms and carried her up the stairs John followed behind, so that Dave couldn’t hurt me or Carly. Once we were back in our room safe and sound with the door shut and locked we fell onto the bed exhausted.

Carly was running around and John and I were just sitting there talking. When the door opened. Dave brought us in some food and then left. I two plates and handed one two John. I started feeding Carly from the other one that I had grabbed. One more sat on the floor and John went and picked it up so bugs weren’t getting in it. He set it on the bed next to me. When he didn’t start eating I asked him why. “I want to wait for you”, he said like it was no big deal. I smiled and finished feeding Carly. She went back to running around and John and I started eating. “So I was thinking that maybe we could adopt Carly once this is all over”, John said setting his fork down. I smiled sadly, “We will never get out of here”, I said knowing that it was true. There was no way that we could even if we tried. John nodded his head. “I understand that”, he said. “But we have to try for her we just can’t her live a life of abuse”, he whispered. I nodded my head. “How did you even get here?” I asked.

“Well Dave is my uncle”, he said. I stopped chewing and looked at him. “My dad beat me up until I was 13 I never thought that I would have a life outside of that, but one day my mom came into my room and started packing my clothes. She told me that we were getting away. I thought that we would both go away together, but she took me to the airport and sent me with some girl that I didn’t know. I came here once I was 18 and tried to better my life. That’s when I met Claire’s dad. He told me that he knew about my past and that if I didn’t marry her, he would send me back to the hell that I was once living in. One day Dave came into the office and asked me for my name. When I told him he seemed taken aback. I learned after he invited me over that he had thought my dad was dead and that I was dead too. When he brought me into your room. I freaked he told me that if I didn’t do what he wanted that he would kill you. I was afraid, so I raped you and then later learned that I was in love with you”, he said.

I had tears in my eyes when he had finished. “I can’t believe, that you're related to him”, I said. “What’s

your story?” he asked. “Well I was adopted by him and his wife when I was two years old. My parents were killed in an accident that I later found out was caused by him. I watched him kill Sarah his wife. On my third birthday he raped me. That was the first time after that, it happened more frequently. He would have other people come and rape me. After a while we moved. I got away and started life with my boyfriend Tyler at the time. Dave found us and kidnapped us. He was hurt bad, when  we got to the hospital he was almost dead. Well he made it through and we had a set of twins. Well we went back to the house that I grew up in and we found a little boy locked all alone in a room. We took him in and then, I got hurt and lost my memory. When I got home from the hospital I found him hanging in my bedroom. After that Dave came back and started being nice. I sent my kids away from him and he brought me here. He doesn’t know where they are and I hope he never does. The lady I sent them with had family there and they would gladly accept them.” I said.

I was crying by the time I was finished telling my story. John scooted closer and kissed me. I kissed him back. Carly was watching us when she called me mom. Taken aback I said “what”. “Mommy”, she said hugging me. I smiled and kissed her forehead. “It’s ok sweetie I’m here for you”, I said. She smiled and yawned. I laid her down and covered her up, “good night”, I whispered. John and I made a pallet on the floor and laid in eachothers arms. I felt so complete. “We’ll get out of here”, he whispered right before I fell asleep. I didn’t know how we were going to do that, but at this point I didn’t care, because I was too tired.
