      When I woke up, I was surprised to see that I was in my own room. I don't know why he would go through with kidnapping me just to bring me back the next morning, but I wasn't going to complain. I tried to convince myself that last night was a dream, that I didn't almost get raped, but the soreness in my wrists and ankles told me otherwise. Dreading what I would see, I looked down at my wrists and gasped at the bruised and red sensitive skin. Looking down at my body, I found that I was dressed the same way as when I fell asleep. Shaking, I began to change into comfortable jeans and a t-shirt. I froze when I lifted up my tank top, seeing black ink on my stomach. Slowly, I raised my shirt the rest of the way up. I couldn't breathe when I saw the words.

"I'm not done with you yet... -X"

His note left me stuttering and shaking. This proved that it wasn't a dream. I could ignore the bruises on my wrists and ankles, but this, this I couldn't. I quickly changed and finished getting ready. I grabbed my phone and purse and ran outside to wait for my ride. My friend, Sadie, drove me to and from school every morning. I slid into her car, wondering whether I should even go to school.

"Hey!" She said happily.

"Sorry I don't really feel well. Can we just not talk?" I asked quietly.

"Sure..." She replied. After that, I tried to tune out my surroundings. I had to admit, I was scared of Xavier. I always thought that he was sweet and kind and actually cared about me. Obviously, that wasn't true. I felt my insides twisting and churning just thinking about him. I didn't know whether I wanted to confront him, or hide from him.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at school. When I looked out my window, I saw Xavier's car pull into the school parking lot, not that far away from me. I froze and right about then Sadie noticed my reaction.

"Are you sure you feel well enough to be at school?" She asked, sounding concerned.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. It's probably just because I didn't get much sleep last night." I replied quickly.

I don't really like lying, and I mean, technically I wasn't, but it still kind of hurt to cover the truth from my best friend.

"That wouldn't have anything to do with Xavier at the game last night, would it?"

I swear my heart stopped. I couldn't breathe for a moment as I stared at her. I didn't answer her as I dazedly made my way out of her car. Once I was out, I tried to calm my breathing. The fake calm only lasted until I saw Xavier getting out of his car, eyes locked on me. Thinking everything but logical thoughts, I practically ran inside the school and to my first period. First period sucks, but Xavier isn't there. But right before I stepped inside the school, I happened to look back and see Xavier glaring daggers at me. I gulped and walked as fast as the nearby teachers would let me. When I finally made it to math class, I sat down in my chair, trembling. Since I was the first one in the room, I put my head down on the table and pulled deep breaths into my lungs. I can't do this. I can't see him at school everyday and not be able to tell a soul what he did. I'm sure if he found out I told, he would do something much much worse... I let my thoughts drift and excluded images of Xavier from my mind.

I wasn't sure how long I laid there, but I jumped when someone poked me on the shoulder. My head snapped up to see Sadie sitting in the seat in front of me.

"Why didn't you tell me that you and Xavier were going back out?" She asked, seeming a little upset about it.

"We're not. You told you that?" I replied sharply.
