Hostage

Chapter 14 - Nightmares

Jason stood in front of the door, puffing on a cigarette he had just lit. He sucked in the velvet smoke anxiously, and released a cloud of tension. Patiently, he was waiting on Zoey to arrive back home from the hospital. He didn't really know what was going on with her, all he knew was she had lost her mind. If he really knew what was wrong with her he would lose his mind.

Albeit, Jason puffed on his cigarette one last time before dropping the burning flame onto the ground and stomping on it with his foot.

The sun beamed down on Jason's body, making the outline of his body glow. His silhouette casted onto the door he was standing in front of, showing every detail, his messy hair, the shape of his perfect full lips, every feature.

He trailed his tongue along his bottom lip to make them moist. A car drove into the lingering driveway, parking in place. Justin had drove Zoey home since she had no other way home. The car door opened, Zoey's feet dangled onto the side of the car until she place them onto the ground to stand. She slammed the door shut behind her, Justin followed behind,

Zoey was kind of anxious to see Jason again since she had those visions of Stella telling her to leave, it hasn't left her mind since the insident happened. She felt crazy, like no one believed a word she said, but who would believe that you seen a dead person telling you to leave out of no where? Something just wasn't right.

Jason curled in his lips, eyeing Zoey as she approached closer and closer. "Hey Zoe." Zoey didn't want to answer him, she didn't even want to look at him. "Hey Jase." Zoey said, walking right passed him as if he wasn't even standing there. Jason knitted his eyebrows together in confusion. Justin raised his eyebrows at Zoey's actions.

"What's wrong with her?" Jason asked, pointing his finger towards Zoey's direction. "She was fine in the car, I think she is just tired." Justin said, trying to hide the fact that Zoey is pregnant. Although, Justin told Zoey she told Jason about her being pregnant, he really didn't. Which was a stupid move to make, he is going to find out one way or another when she starts to show, or when Zoey blurts it out.

Jason nodded, and went back inside, following behind Zoey. "No, I miss you Jase?" Jason wrapped his arms around Zoey from behind, squeezing to show affection. "Jase, I'm really not in the mood right now, I just-- just please let me." Zoey got away from Jason's clutch. Jason could feel his heart hurt within his chest. It almost felt like his heart stopped.

Jason frowned, standing in place where Zoey had left him. He had no idea what to do or say to make her feel better, but he really didn't know the situation.

Zoey slammed the door behind her as she entered Jason's room.

The sound of cloth dropped onto the floor as Zoey got undressed to take a shower. She knew that's what she needed. She felt like shit, inside and out.

She stared at her reflection in the mirror, realizing her body is growing another human being inside every minute, every hour, every day. The thought of it made her cringe. She gently slid her palms along her flesh, caressing her flat tummy, that would soon become huge.

She sighed an audible breath as she waited for the water to heat up and got into the shower, letting the balmy water glide down her backside.

Zoey slide down against the shower wall, with her knees against her chest, she pulled them in close to her, wrapping her arms around them. She knew things were going to change, her whole life was going to change and that made her doubt herself.

Zoey stared at the scars on her wrists from when she self harmed, gently sliding her fingertips against her flesh. Tears flooded her eyes, her chest heaved as inhuman sobs escaped her mouth, coming from deep down within her soul, the tears mixed in within the water that was sprinkling from the shower head.
