{DARKER}**Sequel

Cristina; Pt18

Next morning:
______________

I smelt coffee. Not just any type of coffee but black freshly brewed coffee. I'm guessing it was Jack with his overly obsession with coffee or anything caffeine.

I walked over to what we were calling our closet for the next week, and grabbed my robe.

I wrapped the light purple colored silk robe

around my petite body and began to head downstairs. "Jack?" I called out. I didn't get a response and saw that there was coffee already made for me with a note that said he had gone on a run.

Running and exercising is the one thing that takes his mind off of everything. I poured me a cup and added vanilla creamer to it.

I sat on the couch and turned on the television. I sat there for a good 30 minutes and i suddenly felt drowsy. Which was strange because I had just woken up.

Then I remembered the coffee. Maybe I'll just take a little nap. I laid down and was instantly knocked out on the couch.

_______________

I heard screaming and yelling. Okay I was overreacting a little but it was loud yelling. I felt hands on my shoulders. My body felt numb. I couldn't really move.

I suddenly felt my arms coming back to life and I opened my eyes. "My god you're alive" Jack yelled. I was terrified and completely lost.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Jack screamed at me. I was taken back because I just woke up. I didn't do anything wrong I mean did I sleep past an hour or something.

"Wh-what are you talking about?" I shuddered.

"It's 8:30 PM Cristina, and why the fuck didn't you get up when I first tried to wake you. I thought you were dead or something. You didn't look like you were breathing" he shouted.

I sat there, still confused as ever. He said it's 8 o'clock at night. That can't be. It was just 10 in the morning. There is no way I slept for over 10 hours. It's just impossible

"No there's no way I just laid down for a little" i shook my head.

"It's almost 9 o'clock" He defended. I was so lost and I had no idea what was going on.

"I- I don't understand. All I did was wake up and come downstairs because I smelt the coffee you maid and left for me-" he stopped me. "Wait, what- what are you talking about? What coffee?" He knitted his eyebrows. I pointed to the counter in the kitchen and he looked at me.

"I didn't make any coffee, I had a meeting at 8" He said worried. I stared at him and didn't say a word. "Somebody was in here" I raised my eyebrows and began to freak out.

"Hey hey calm down you're gonna be okay"

"I'm gonna be okay?" I laughed. "Are you joking? I could've been killed or hurt and you want me to just calm down" I pushed past him.

I went upstairs and I felt a cold breeze from our room and the door was slightly open.

I went in there and noticed my dresser was torn apart and clothes were stolen and everywhere on the floor, vanity, and the bed.

The window also happened to be unlocked and broken. I saw there was glass everywhere so I screamed for Jack.

"JACK!!!" I hollered. I heard him rush up the stairs, nearly falling as he came in the room. "Do you see this, someone was in here" I cried. He grabbed my arms and pulled me into his Chest.

"So somebody broke in?" He questioned. He started to look around and maybe notice something. But it was no use.

"Maybe it was.." I stopped and made eye contact with Jack. He gave me a very stern and questionable look. He laughed, "there's no way, Samuel is in jail. He can't hurt you" he kissed my head.

I backed away from him and felt my eyes begin to water. I sat on the bed and cried into my lap.

"Hey, Cristina, what's the matter?" He lifted my chin up with his index finger.

"I didn't tell you because I didn't want to ruin this vacation." I sobbed, wiping my cheek.

"Hey nothing can ruin this, you can tell me anything you know that" he smiled. I chuckled and quickly looked down at my feet, avoiding eye contact with him before I spoke.

"They let him out." I sighed. Jack stoped and stood up slowly. "Samuel, they uhm... let him out with probation" I rolled my eyes and sniffled. He looked furious.

I mean I was too when I found out this asshole who assaulted me only got probation.

"You're joking right?" Jack scoffed. I shook my head and looked down at my feet again. Jack put his hands on his head and punched the dresser. "FUCK" he screamed, startling me.

"How" he breathed with his head against the wall. I stood there and cleared my throat before speaking.

"Uhm, they said there was no proof he actually did it and it was his first offense so they let him off easy I guess" my voice cracked. Jack quickly turned around and grabbed my face.

"Hey, you listen to me. This is NOT your fault." He looked me in my eyes. I couldn't really see straight right now. My eyes were glossy from the tears. "But if he's on probation there's no way he could've done this, he's most likely on house arrest and either way he can't leave the state" Jack retorted. He was right.

Maybe I'm just over thinking and worried. It was eating at me not being able to tell him.

But now that everything is out in the table we can relax and enjoy the next few days we have left on our vacation without anymore interruptions hopefully.

Jack grabbed my face and kissed me. "Nothing will get in the way, I promise" he winked at me.
