Can I Trust You?

32// Who Could it Be?

Quan.

"THE HELL YOU MEAN YALL DIDN'T GET ANY CAR CRASH VICTIMS? MY GODDAMN GIRLFRIEND WAS ON THE PHONE WITH ME WHEN SHE CRASHED, I HEARD IT ALL!!" I pounded on the desk.

"Sir! You can't be doing all that hollering, we have patients in here-"I cut the Black receptionist of at the desk. She looks old enough to be my grandmother.

I calmed down and stared the woman in her eyes. I turned around and went to go sit down.

I buried my head in my head. My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket notifying me that someone's calling. I look at the screen and immediately answer.

"Aye Kev. I need you!" I stood up.

"Yo Quan where the fuck is my sister!!" He yelled.

"Look dude don't yell at me. These damn fools at the hospital telling me no crash victims came in today. I don't know where she at man!" I went outside the hospital.

"Make your way to the joint right now. I'm on my way at the moment. If you not there by time I get there I swear I'll fuck you up for losing my sister." He growled then hung up in my face. I immediately ran to catch a taxi. I got in the back seat and slammed the door.

"Drive me to that elementary school over on the north side now!" I smacked the back of the seat. The man looked frightened and sped off.

(The elementary school is by the warehouse where the gang does their business)

Jade.

I lay on the floor crying while trying to hold this piss in my bladder. I can't hold it in any longer. On top of that I gotta take a shit.

I got up and opened up the slot of the small window exposing the vertical metal bars.

"If you're even here, please let me out. I have to pee and take a shit really bad." I said bluntly.

This time I yelled. "HEY! LET ME USE THE BATHROOM!!" A few seconds past and I heard distant footsteps become close.

A man with a black ski mask over his face stood in front of the door.

He held up the key so I could see it and unlocked the door quickly.

"Move back." He told me. I grabbed the ball attached to my ankle and stepped back. He opened the door and stood in front of me.

He took a key off of his chain and held it out to me. I looked at it then at him.

"TAKE IT!" He yelled. I jumped then quickly took the key.

"Unlock the chain from your ankle." He demanded. I just stood there.

"DO IT, NOW!" He yelled again.

"I can't. I'm fucking pregnant with two babies; I can't bend down like that smart ass!" I yelled back. He snickered and snatched it out of my hands. He got down on one knee and unlocked the chain.

"Follow me." He looked at me. I nodded and followed him out of the dirty old room.

I followed him through a dark hallway until I saw a light. The light led into a kitchen. There was food on the stove cooking and my mouth instantly began to water. Then we turned into another hall and ahead was a door. He opened it and I saw a toilet and a shower curtain. Oh my gosh, thank you!

He grabbed my arm and put me in the bathroom.
"Use the bathroom, pee and take your shit. I'll bring you some fresh clothes and socks and some hair products to fix that mess on your head." He snarled.

"Shut the hell up. You're the reason why it's like this you fucker!" I pointed. He quickly grabbed my wrist and squeezed it. I winced in pain. I tried to move his hand away but he grabbed that wrist also and squeezed the life from it. At this point I was crying trying to escape from him.

"Make another insult and I'll personally cut out your unborn children and feed them to my dogs and let you rot outside." I cried even more just hearing him say that. He increased his hold on my wrists.

"Do you understand me, Jade?" He smiled. I looked shocked.

"Do you understand?!" He yelled. His strength just kept going up.

"Yes yes, I understand. Please let me go!" I whispered. He let go and looked me in the eyes.

"I'll be back in about 5 minutes. By the way you can't escape cause there's no window in there." He turned around and walked away.

I turned and closed the door and locked it. I looked to the mirror. I was right. I look disgusting. My hair is everywhere, scratches are all on my face, arms, chest, legs, basically everywhere. I turned to the left to inspect my left side and I felt pain under my breast. I lifted my shirt along with my bra and saw a big cut right under my left breast. I cried even more.

I saw many cuts on my belly that could've penetrated my babies. I wiped my tears and sat down and used the bathroom.

20 minutes later

I step out of the shower and realize that my alleged kidnapper never brought me what he said he'd bring. I saw a towel hanging on the door and dried my hair with it. I grabbed the last one to dry my body with. The cuts immediately began to burn like they did in the shower. I wrapped it on myself and stepped out of the bathroom.

The air hit me like a bitch. I instantly got cold.

"Hello?" I called out. I kept walking slow then the man appeared. He hand a hand full of clothes and hair products.

"I'm sorry I'm late, I was making dinner for us." He handed my his mountain of stuff. For us? I'm the only one here with him?

"Thank you.." I told him with a low voice.

"You're welcome. When you're done, come sit at the kitchen table, I have another visitor who might wanna see you." He said then left.

I went back into the to the bathroom and locked the door.

I put on the clothes that fitted perfectly. The bra was just right since my breasts are continuously getting bigger as my babies do. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had on black leggings, white and green socks, and a huge pink shirt. I'm glad he remembered that I'm pregnant because if he would've given me a random shirt.. ugh.

I opened the bottle of hair moisturizer and applied it to my hair. I did a quick braid across the front and put it in a ponytail along with the rest of my hair. I combed my fro out some and sprayed some hair spray on it. I washed my hands and grabbed my old clothes. I walked out the door and slowly ventured to the kitchen. His back was facing me.

"Um, where do you want these to go?" I asked. He came and took them from me and went into a room. He came out empty handed, so, I assumed he put them in there.

"Come eat, Jade." He sat down at the table. I sat down at the table slowly. In front of me was a plate of macaroni, mashed potatoes with gravy, greens, cornbread, and three legs of fried chicken.

"Thanks, but I don't eat greens." I picked up my spoon.

"Doesn't matte. Just leave it there and I'll add it to the leftovers." He bit into his thigh of fried chicken. It barely made its way to his mouth because of his ridiculous mask. I giggled as he struggled to eat his chicken. He chuckled some and smiled.

"Ok. I'll take the mask off, but promise me you won't go crazy." He grabbed his face.

"Uh- I- It depends.." I laid my chicken on the plate. He sighed and took the mask off. I gasped in shock realizing who this was.

"It's! You're-" he cut me off. He put his finger to my lips and shushed me.

"Be quiet!" He whispered.
