New Guy

Chapter 8

Carters POV

Everyday that went by broke my heart. I told Jess's parents that we were going to spend the summer with my parents back home. Its been four months since the last time I saw Jess. The only way I saw her now was in pictures of her bound with rope and her mouth covered with duck tape. She always seemed so angry in the pictures never sad or scared just angry. She had cuts all over her face and bruises I could see on her body since she was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt. The same clothes that I saw her in the last time. I hadn't slept I would maybe get a few hours every once in a while when I stopped at a parking area.

I didn't have that much money with me so I would park the car and search neighbor hoods. I tried not to eat much since I needed money for gas and such. I was afraid for her even though she never seemed afraid. I knew those guys and they were trouble. They have killed so many people when they robbed banks with my stepfather.

Jess's POV

I tried not to show fear in front of these guys. I knew if they saw I was scared they would make it worse for me. I didn't want to think of Carter because I knew I would cry. I tried to fight every chance I got but they kept re-tying the rope tighter than before and the rope kept cutting into my wrists.

It seemed like they never slept. They were always awake and torturing me every time they could. It was strange the whole four months I have been captured I haven’t had my period. I kept having thoughts that maybe I was pregnant but I wasn't sure. I have been getting bigger and nauseous so maybe I am. I cannot have this baby while being kidnapped.

I didn’t want to tell the goons because they might beat me and kill the baby. I hope they don’t find out. I hope I can get away before they know. I knew they were sending pictures to Carter because they showed me everything they were sending him. If he found out I was pregnant he would come and try to be a hero but I know he wouldn’t stand a chance against the goons they are too strong and too dangerous.

I was afraid but I never showed it to them.

Carters POV

With every picture they sent I would try harder. I was never going to give up. I thought I knew where they were when they sent me a picture of her outside tied to a huge tree. It looked like she was back in town were she lived. I wasn't sure where but I knew I had to look over the town. I was hoping she was there.

I couldn't live any longer without her.
