New Guy

Chapter 7

Jess's POV

They told me he wasn't coming. They said he was to afraid of them to rescue his little girlfriend. They took the ring Carter gave me off my finger and tied a ribbon around it. The bigger one that I now knew as Charles told me this would be a little present for Carter so he knew that he better come. I didn't want Carter to come for me if it meant he would die. I wanted him to be safe.

They took another picture of me crying that night. I didn't have a bed so I had to lay on the cold cement floor. I still loved Carter. I hoped with all my heart he was safe somewhere. I missed him so much. His beautiful bright smile, his black hair that was just a little to long and thoes bright green eyes that read me like a book. I wanted to just see him one last time. So I could remember every last detail of him before he left for work.

Carter POV

Jess's parent asked were she was when I got back that night. I had to lie and say I had just dropped her off at Alexis house for a sleep over tonight. They bought it but I hated to lie to them. They were such nice people for letting me stay here while I got back on my feet.

When I woke up that morning I went and opened the curtain that was covering my bedroom window. When I looked through it I saw something on Jess's car so I hurried downstairs to figure out what it was. It was another picture of Jess crying in the corner of the cement cell she was staying in. connected to the picture by a ribbon was Jess's ring I gave to her for her birthday almost a month ago. It had blood on it and it made me think the worst had happened.

On the back of the picture was a note saying 'This is the only way you will ever see your girlfriend unless you come find us.' I knew for a fact it was going to take forever to find them. I called work that day and told them I quite. I needed to find her and as fast as I could. I drove all day around town to places I thought they may be hiding but I could never find where they were.

I loved her so much I promised myself I would see her again even if it was to trade my life for hers. She meant everything to me. She was the only thing I had left that still made me smile. I was not going to lose her just like that to my step fathers goons. I was going to find her and make them pay for taking her from me.

Jess's POV

They haven't given me much to eat. I would get a drink of water here and there and maybe a slice of bread if I was luck. My face was all scratched up and bloody. They took pictures all the time. Every few pictures they would take something from me to attach to the picture. Like a lock of my hair, a button from my shirt, and one of the shoes I was wearing. I felt like I was just a pawn for their stupid little game.

I cried myself to sleep. Whenever I was pictured Carter I would start to cry and then fall asleep. I missed him so much. I tried to fight Charles and his buddy all the time but I was just a girl what could I possibly do to them. Every time I tried to fight I would get punched, kicked, or slapped. I had I feeling I was going to die any day now if I let them keep treating me like this. So I fought I fought every day. I was getting weaker by the second and I slowly stopped fighting with them I slept more often than anything.

I kept imagining my life without the love of my life being there with me. It broke my heart every single time just knowing he was long gone and never coming back.
