Hayden had to fight three people in one night and it ended up with him having his ribs fractured. He is healing pretty fast but he has pain sometimes.
“Of course you would know he has fractured ribs, you stalker.” I put my hand on the button to unlock the door. “I wanna say it was nice talking but I would just be lying.”
“Now, now, now, Jaclyn. You can’t just leave right now,” he says while holding onto the lock button. “We still have so much catching up to do,” he says with a menacing tone that sends chills down my spine.
I don’t like this.
I need to get out.
I need to leave.
“Fuck off,” I say before pulling on the door but it won’t open because he is holding the lock button. No matter how much I try to unlock it, it won’t fucking unlock.
“Wish this would have been easier to do.” I hear Eric say before a needle pricks my neck. I try to move away from him as my neck starts to sting from whatever he did. Eric holds me against the chair. “Just relax. You’ll like this, trust me,” Eric says in my ear as I plead for help in my head.
I can’t move or talk but I can feel everything. My head starts to get heavy, like it weighs tons until I see nothing but darkness.
“Hey!” Someone yells in my ear. “Hey! Time to wake up!”
I jolt awake and open my eyes. I lift my head but don’t see anything.
Everything is dark.
“Tell Marco she’s awake,” a familiar voice says.
Oh no.
Fuck.
Oh my God, please let this be a dream.
“No,” I whisper to myself as anxiety fills my veins. Blood rushes through my body at a rapid pace and my breathing starts to get heavier.
I can’t breathe.
Why can’t I breathe?
“Jaclyn.” The cloth gets ripped off my face and I see Eric staring down at me with a smile. “Finally you’re awake. You’ve been asleep for a good day now.” Eric grabs my jaw and moves my face to the side. “Yikes, that’s going to bruise,” he says, eyeing my neck. He presses his finger to the spot on my neck and I hiss, flinching away from him. “Yea that’ll hurt for a bit.” Eric lets go of me and he squats down to be at eye level with me. “Morning.”
I look around me and see I’m in a room. There is a bed at the corner but nothing else.
It looks depressing and almost scary in here.
“Let me go, Eric. Please,” I beg.
I’ll do anything at this point for him not to touch me or go near me.
Eric shakes his head side to side. “That’s not how this works. I wish things could have ended up differently but Hayden had to push.” Eric stands up and turns to a guy behind him. “Did you tell Marco?” Eric asks and the guy nods.
A tear falls from my eye as I connect the dots.
They took me because of Hayden.
But Hayden won the fight. After everything Hayden has done and dealt with Marco, he can’t just go back to his world.
The door opens and I see him walk in.
I have met Marco a total of maybe two or three times. He has always made me feel like something bad was about to happen. He holds darkness inside him that I’ve never seen anyone have. It’s scary.
