Our way to Forever (Completed)

Chapter 30

Jenna

I wake up feeling exhausted. I wish I could sleep longer but I really have to pee. I sit up and then look around. This isn't Nate's room, or mine. I take in my unfamiliar surroundings and begin to panic. A quick peek under the cover reveal that I'm still fully clothed in my dress from last night. last night the events of the previous evening flood my mind and the pain hits me like a Mack truck.

The door to the room opens and in walks Travis with a tray of food. He see me crying and comes  to me. Placing the tray on the night stand he sits on the bed and pulls me into his arms.

"Shh angel... It's okay."

Wiping my tears I pull away from him. "Travis where are we?"

"You don't remember?"

I shake my head. All I can remember is the pain and desperately needing to get away. "I only remember getting in your car."

"Why don't you wash up and come eat something. Then we can talk, hmm." He smiles anf directs me to the bathroom. "I'll lay out some clothes for you."

I shower and brush my teeth, mindlessly going through the motions. When I come out there are clothes on the bed, just like Travis said. I wasn't expecting woman's clothing that looked brand new. Grateful I dress and venture out of the room and down a short hallway. I see a living with a fire place to sofas and a TV.

"Good you're done. I'll warm up breakfast."

I follow Travis into the kitchen and sit at the counter. I don't really feel like eating but I don't want to seem ungrateful. I eat slowly but can't finish more than half of what's on my plate. I thank Travis and take my plate to the sink.

Looking outside the window all I see are trees. Turning to face Travis I ask, "Where did you say we were?"

"I didn't but we are at my cabin, outside of Emmery hills. It used to belong to my parents, they came here when they needed to get away."

"Oh..." Not knowing what to say I take a sip of coffee.

"You wanted to get away last night so thought this was the best place to bring you." He smiles.

"Thank you Travis, really. I appreciate it and I'm so sorry if I ruined your night."

"Don't be ridiculous. I'll always be here for you." He says, waving off my apology.

I give him a hug and pull back with a smile. He really is good friend. Speaking of friends Cassie must be flipping out.

"Hey do you know where my bag is? I need to check my phone. Cassie is going to kill me."

"Uh... You asked me to keep it away from you. It's switched off."

"That's okay you can give it to me now. I should call her for a ride anyway. I've imposed in you enough already."

"No you haven't. Besides you won't get reception out here and where are you going to go anyway. All your stuff is at Nate's place remember? Just stay here. Forget about him, relax."

"That's true but maybe I could just avoid him till our apartment was ready in a few weeks time. Or maybe I could stay with Brody."

"No!...I mean no stay here. I'll get your stuff for you if you want."

"Stay here, in the middle of nowhere? All I can see are trees outside and there's no cell service. Do you even have neighbors out here?"

"No there's no one else around here. The closest town is 15 minutes away."

"Oh my gosh. How far away from Emmery are we?"

"About 2 hours."

"Why did we come this far?... Nevermind. Gimme my phone so I can let Cassie know I'm okay."

"I told you there's no reception and I'm sorry but I can't do that."

"What? Why not?" He doesn't answer me he just turns and busies himself with something on a shelf in the living room.

"Travis, What's going on?" I ask confused.

"I can't let you leave."

"Why not?"

He shakes his head. "I can't. You can't leave me."

A sliver of panic slides down my spine. Confused I ask, "What are you talking about?"

"You can't leave me, You can't leave me. He stole you once but I won't let it happen again. You're mine."

Scared and panicked I stutter. "T-T-Travis I want to g-go home."

He whirls around to face me with a crazed look on his face. He grabs my shoulders. "This is home. I'm home. Nate can't have you. Look what he want did to you last night. I rescued you. I kept you safe. All he does is hurt you. You need to stay here so I can keep you safe."

"Travis y-you're scaring me please, I don't want to st-stay here."

I see rage flash in his eyes and then I suddenly feel a sharp prick in my neck. I gasp in pain and then watch as he puts down a syringe. He cups my neck and pulls me to lean on him just as weakness starts to take over my body.

"Just go to sleep angel." I hear him whisper and then every fades to black.
