Breaking Steele Walls

Chapter 3

Krystal blinked her eyes. And then she blinked them again, hoping she had just imagined what Jason said. When it was clear that it wasn't just in her head, she gaped at him. He couldn't possibly be talking about her of all people.

Jason looked at Krystal's reaction with amused eyes before it went away as quick as it came.

After a few seconds of silence, Krystal let out a nervous laugh and said in a shaky voice, "Why do you keep looking at me? Shouldn't you go pick up your date?" She tried to act innocent and oblivious.

"I am looking at my date."

When what he said sunk in Krystal was hit with realization and so she suddenly shouted, "I will never go with you! You can't make me!", and started to run away from them.

Stunned by her sudden mood change, Jason and Marshall continued to stand there looking at her retreating back. When Jason realized what was going on a few seconds later he took off running after her, with Marshall in tow. He needed to catch her for his plan.

Krystal was running as fast as she could. All the running her roommates made her do for training was paying off. She looked back and saw that she was being chased after so she ran faster, pushing her legs to their limit.

Being faster and having longer legs, Jason was easily catching up to her. The only thing that prevented him from getting her was the twists and turns she made through the hallways. The chase seemed to continue for a few minutes until they ended up back where they started, the entrance and lobby of the hospital.

"Stop running!" Jason shouted in frustration.

"You'll never take me aliv- umppff" she was suddenly tackled from behind and landed on the hard, glossy white linoleum floor. It didn't hurt her very much because of all the tackle football she plays with men the size of the one on her back and sometimes bigger.

Jason was holding Krystal down with all the strength he had. She squirmed and struggled to get free but he wasn't going to let her go. Not with his life. But he had to admit she put up a good fight.

Krystal tried with all she had to get out from underneath him but it seemed impossible. He had his whole body on top of her. Even when she tried to use all the boxing and self defense moves she knew, she was fighting a losing battle yet wouldn't give up. She continued to kick and punch and thrash in hopes that she could find a weak spot so she can escape but he seemed unaffected with her jabs. His body was hard and tough. She felt like she was trying to beat a boulder. If her trainers/best friends could see her now they would be greatly disappointed.

Everyone around them, patients, nurses, doctors, visitors, and even Marshall were watching them with a mixture of confusion and amusement. The entrance was a huge, open room with elevators and escalators and had a height that went up to the ceiling, which was 7 stories high. So everyone could see and hear their wrestling on the floor but no one dared to interrupt because they knew Jason was. Apparently, everyone knew who he was besides Krystal.

After 5 minutes of trying to get free, Krystal gave up. She knew she wasn't getting out unless he wanted her to.

"Okay. Now, if I let you up, will you not run?" Jason asked while panting. She was harder to hold down than he thought.

Too exhausted to speak Krystal just nodded her head.

Jason looked a little hesitant but still let her up.

When she got up, she looked around the room, looking for a way to run but before she could, she felt a strong hand grip her arm.

"Oh no you don't".
