Getaway

I Can't Do This

What could Jason possible mean by 'when you're the one behind the gun'?

I am still bewildered that Justin could even put me in this position. I still don't know what's going on, and all I can do is hope that I don't get killed. At least I focused at the shooting range because I didn't know when those skills might come in handy. After we got done at the shooting range we went out for dinner. Justin and the guys didn't want anyone from around here seeing me, so we drove about another 2 hours. At this point I guessed we were in Los Angeles but we weren't in the main part of the town. We took a cross road and stopped at a diner to grab something to eat.

"We'll all have a coke." Jason said to the waitress.

"Actually I'll have a water." I corrected him.

"I'm paying and you get what I say." He said.

"Well a water is free, so you're not paying for anything." I told him.

"So I have all cokes and one water?" the waitress said after a few seconds of silence.

"Yeah." Jason shot back.

We all got hamburgers and fries and Jason ordered us to eat quickly, so we did. We were out within half an hour and we got back on the road. We drove to a hotel to stay for the night.

"We want 3 rooms." Justin told the employee at the front desk. She handed us 6 keys, 2 for each room.

"Where am I gonna stay?" I whispered to Justin.

"You'll stay in a room with me because I don't trust those bastards alone with you. Jason and Kevin will room together. And then Logan and Ryan will stay in a room."

Justin handed the keys to the other guys and we all rode the elevator up to our floor. The guys went to their room and me and Justin left for ours. We finally got in the room and I slammed the door shut.

"What the hell are you doing to me Justin?" I screamed. "Leaving me alone with that freak Jason, and let him touch me like that. I can't bel-" Justin cut me off.

"Courtney, I didn't know that he would do that to you. That wasn't the plan at all." Justin said.

"What exactly is the plan Justin? Huh? Are you going to use me all up and then leave me for dead? Because I don't know what the fuck is going on and I'm scared. You're the one I love the most, and I'm scared of you.." I admitted.

"Baby please." Justin came towards me and grazed my arm.

"Don't touch me." I said as I turned away from him.

"Courtney, don't be like that. I love you." Justin said softly.

"Oh, you love me? Is that why you kidnapped me. Threw me in the back of a car. Let Jason have sex with me. Tie me down to a bed. Act like you never knew me. Is that what you do to the people you love?" I shouted.

"He knocked me out and I had no idea what he was doing. I couldn't do anything. I'm sorry." Justin said.

"Sorry isn't going to take away the pain you and him both caused me. I just want to go home." I said.

"I owe you something. I need to tell you the whole reason why I took you and why we are where we are right now." Justin said.

"Yes you do Justin. Please tell me."

"Okay, I have been doing business with Jason for years now. Whenever I met you, and you started to find out, I stopped doing it. I told him I couldn't hurt her you like that, so I didn't want to do it anymore. He got really mad at me and started planning to plant lies on my family . Making them think I was involved in dangerous activity with him and that I was planning on getting in on something big with him. I begged him to not do it, and I would do anything for him to just back off of me." Justin said.
