CHAPTER 100
As soon as we got home Harry pulled up right outside the front door and Jax helped me out of the car and held my hand as we walked inside.
I looked around the house and it all looked the same but when I walked upstairs I could feel my anxiety getting a little stronger until I got to my room.
The memory of waking up to that shadowy figure standing over me was making it really hard for me to move on right now.
I started shaking but Jax put his arm around my waist and I took a couple of deep breaths.
I knew that I needed to calm down because this was my room and I wasn’t going to let that bastard try and take anything else from me.
It was bad enough that he tried to take my only family, the guys, away from me. He wasn’t going to take my home as well.
I walked over and sat on my bed and the other two came into the room while Jax was leaning against the wall.
I was just looking around the room and trying to remember the good times that I had spent in this room.
Trying to remember what I loved most about this room.
But I got up and I went to my wardrobe and I grabbed some fresh clothes.
I had been wearing that same clothes for a couple of days and I felt really dirty and disgusting so I went to the bathroom and I closed the door most of the way, leaving it open just a crack because I knew the guys were in my room.
I walked over to the bathtub this time. I hadn’t actually used the tub before but I really wanted to today.
I started running the water and I got underdressed. I stood in front of the mirror and that was the first time I had seen how bad the bruises around my neck really were. And now I understood why the guys were so worried about me. It also explained why it hurt to swallow and why I couldn’t eat.
Once the tub was full I slowly got in to the really nice warm water and I the bruise and cuts around my ankle were just as bad because of the chain.
I laid there with a towel behind my head trying to relax and I closed my eyes, trying to chill out. But it was hard to do that with so much going on in my mind.
Someone knocked on the door so I looked over and Harry was standing there.
“Can I come in?” He asked.
“Sure.” I said.
So he walked into the room and closed the door again.
He sat next to the tub and grabbed the washer and started washing up and down my arms and legs really gently. And around my neck, being as gentle as possible.
“Baby. I need to apologize to you.” Harry said.
“What for?” I asked. And he looked at me in shock.
“For what happened to you. I had no idea that Alora was so crazy. And Lucas had no idea that Nancy was such a bitch. We never would have imagined that they would do something like this.”
“I don’t blame you guys for what they did. They did it and it was their choice to do it. How much were they hanging around while I was gone?” I asked.
“We barely saw them. We were out looking for you so if they came by the house then we didn’t see them.”
“Then why do this if they didn’t swoop straight in and try to convince you that you were better off without me?”
“I don’t know. A lot of this doesn’t make sense. They wanted to get you away from us but they didn’t make a move while you were gone. Maybe they weren’t expecting us to find you as fast as we did.” He explained.
“Maybe. They could have been waiting. But, I don’t blame you guys. I never did. I was scared that you all thought I ran away because of that fight we had.” I admitted.
“We will never think that you ran away unless we have proof that you did.” He said. And I nodded my head.
“I didn’t think you guys were going to find me.”
“We weren’t going to stop until we did. And thanks to you, we found the house. We never would have thought to start looking at your dad’s properties.”
“I don’t know how they knew about the house.”
“Who the hell knows. I mean, your dads properties are public record. Which we now have a hold of. We know everything that your dad owned. So, you can do what you want with that list of properties.”
“I don’t want to think about it right now.”
Harry sat there next to the tub and he looked like he really wanted to ask me something. But he was hesitating. He didn’t want to know the answer, but at the same time he did want to know.
“No.” I answered.
“What?” He asked, confused.
“I woke up in the middle of the night and the bastard had crawled into bed with me. But no, he never raped me.” I said.
I saw a visible sigh of relief leave Harry’s face and he leaned over and kissed me.
“We are going to make this up to you. For the rest of our lives.”
“I told you. I don’t blame you.”
“We promised to keep you safe. And you’ve been kidnapped twice already. It’s not going to happen again.” Harry promises.
“I know. I trust you.” I said. So he kissed me again. But the door opened and this time Lucas walked in.
I knew that he was feeling just as guilty because of the fight that we had and I just had to put his mind at ease as well. I never blamed either of them for what happened.
We had a fight and I was kidnapped by the skanks that wanted the guys. It did have something to do with them, but it definitely wasn’t their fault. And those four were never going to be a problem again.
I knew that they were all dead. And as far as I know they were left in the house that Uncle Kayden is going to have to explain.
I think I was going to get the most joy out of that.
As soon as I got out of the tub, I got dressed in some clean clothes and I walked into my room.
“Are you hungry?” Jax asked.
“I can’t eat. My throat is too swollen. It’ll stay like this for a couple of days.” I said.
“Alright. What do you want to do?”
“Honestly. I want to climb into my bed and watch a movie.”
“My thoughts exactly.” Lucas said, pulling back the covers.
I saw Lucas and Harry jump into the bed and now I knew that they weren’t going to let me out of their sight.
I just smiled and shook my head as I climbed into bed next to Harry and Jax climbed in on the other side of me.
I picked a movie on the TV on my wall and I opted for a comedy right now. I wasn’t really in the mood for a thriller or an action movie. I’d seen enough of that in the last couple of days.
I only got a little way into the movie when I passed out from exhaustion and lack of sleep from when I was gone.
But being in my bed again, surrounded by the three guys that I trusted most in the world, it was enough to put me at ease and help me relax enough to go to sleep.
