It has been five days since the last time Pauly has come up to the room. And five days since Jenni heard Pauly in the house at all. Everyday Vinny has come upstairs about twice a day bringing Jenni something to eat. He never says anything to her but just gives her the same sympathetic look as the time before.

Jenni felt disgusting, she hasn't bathed since she got here and she felt so dirty and grimy. She didn't know if it was day or night anymore and she was starting to loose count of the days she had spent in this horrible room.

Jenni was lying on the floor since the mattress was taken away when she heard that Pauly had come home. Vinny was the only one in the house to great him.

"Hey Pauly," Jenni heard Vinny saying "I'm glad your back."

"Thanks Vin." Pauly said happily and just then Jenni heard another car pull up, get out and came in the house.

"Pauly, you're back." Mike said.

"Yeah, I just needed to get away, you know…" He said trying to explain himself in short terms.

"Yeah, yeah I know what you mean." Mike responded, "It's all cool."

Pauly laughed which shocked her, she had assumed that he was in a bad mood, "Yeah well I'm back now my dude." It was the first time Jenni had ever heard Pauly happy. In a strange way she liked it, and almost wanted him to be happy.

.

A few hours later, Jenni was still stuck in the same room, bored to death. She heard Pauly say he was leaving to go to the store with Vinny, which since Sam and Ronnie had gotten back, would leave Jenni with the people she trusted least in the house, them and Mike.

Footsteps were coming up the stairs and Jenni assumed it was Vinny giving her something to eat before he left.

The flew open and a dark silhouette appeared in the frame breathing heavily. It wasn't Pauly and she let out a sigh of relief. Her relief was short lived when the person turned in her direction and began striding towards her, a sultry smirk never leaving his face.

When he got towards her, she could see that the person was Mike, "The-there you are!" He said stumbling and nearly falling over. He pulled on her wrist leading her to the middle of the room, "I brought you your mattress back… here, me and Pauly have been getting in a few arguments… so you're going to help me feel better." He slurred and started to kiss the scared brunettes neck.

She tensed up at the touch of his lips, "N-no stop," She pleads like a little girl. It was as if he hadn't heard her at all, he pushed her up against the wall, his hands traveling everywhere.

"Stop, stop, please!" She cried and her voice was getting more and more panicked. "Let go of me!" She screamed, and Mike took her open mouth as an opportunity to shove his tongue down her throat.

She struggled but the more she did, the more force he used, his hands were groping her and his tongue was shoved so far in her mouth, it was making her gag.

She couldn't breathe, and needed air but he just wouldn't stop. The door was still open behind him and Jenni saw her chance, she bit down as hard as she could on his tongue and made a run for it as he howled in pain.

It either didn't faze him, or was very short lived, just as she reached the door he outstretched a hand and slammed it shut. He pushed up against her, trapping her in a corner of the small room. He pulled his arm back and she flinched, thinking he was going to hit her.

"Don't worry baby I'm not going to hit you, I want you to be awake for this." He sneered. He used her shirt to drag her back to the mattress in the middle of the room.

He hovered on top of her and he was laughing, which horrified Jenni. She continued to struggle, and she scratched his face and he and suddenly he became very serious. He grabbed her wrists and held them behind her back, so tight they were starting to go numb.

He held them with one hand while he attempted to his other hand over her mouth; she bit him and screamed at the top of her lungs.

She immediately felt pain when he backhanded her. Her eyes filled with tears that threatened to spill over. She shut them, trying not to give him the satisfaction, all the fight she had was gone.

She stopped moving and tried to focus on controlling her breathing, maybe if he didn't get a reaction he would get bored and leave. On the inside though, she was screaming and praying for help, and crying. But she started crying for real too. She hadn't realized she was sobbing uncontrollably as his hands continued to roam up and down her body.

His hot breath landed on her nose and the stench of alcohol filled her nostrils and she cringed. She felt her shirt being peeled off and her eyes flew open. She immediately began to struggle but he held her down with a vice like grip. She knew she wasn't going anywhere.

She choked out tears as she begged him repeatedly to stop, she tried kicking him but it was no use, he was to strong. Her shirt was off and he started on her pants. "LET ME GO!" She screamed over and over but he ignored her cries. He chuckled darkly and carried on ripping her clothes off.

She looked up into his eyes, "Please just stop." She whimpered, he started loosening his belt, and she felt her underwear being ripped off, he stared down at her hungrily.

Her mouth went dry, and she knew that was it, it was over, there was no point in fighting anymore. She didn't even want to try anymore, because it was no use. There's nothing she can do. He was going to rape her, with or without her consent.

She felt herself go limp, she shut her eyes as tears rolled down her face reminding her that she was really hear and this wasn't just a nasty nightmare.

"Just kill me now." She whispered. He pulled his belt off and grabbed her wrists together, he started tying them behind her back when the door busted open leaving a furious looking Pauly.

"What the hell are you doing ?" He shouted.

"Just having some fun, what's your problem?" Mike scowled.

"Get off her before I do something I regret," He stated calmly although anger seared through his brown eyes.

Mike momentarily seemed to have forgotten she was there so Jenni took it as a chance to get away from him, she slowly pushed herself backwards; his head snapped round and he took hold of her ankle yanking her back towards him.

"Oh no you don't you're not going anywhere." He growled, Jenni trembled underneath him as he clutched at her throat.

"Stupid bitch," he started to squeeze and Jenni tried her hardest to breath but was failing.

Just when she was going to pass out she felt Mike being yanked away from her, "YOU DON'T EVER TOUCH HER! EVER! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?" Pauly yelled, rage coursing through him.

"WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH?" Mike yelled back just as loud. Pauly seemed taken aback for a moment but quickly regained his composure, "I don't"

Jenni felt her stomach drop; Pauly had changed his mind and was going to leave her with Mike.

"It was my idea to kidnap her, She is mine go get your own! I came up here to bang her myself and to find out that you were going to beat her to it!

Pauly glared at him before carrying on, "If she's going to please anyone it will be me so get out and don't come back in this room until you have your own!"

Then Jenni, in the heat of the moment spoke up, "I'm not a dog, you don't own me." Both Pauly and Mike turned to stare at her, then she realized it was a mistake.

"Aren't you going to hit her for that?" Mike queried, Pauly seemed to come to his senses and marched over to Jenni.

She backed up against the wall, fear in her eyes. Just when she thought he was about to hit her, he stopped. He just looked at her as she was trying to send him a pleading look.

"I'll do it after you've left," he said his eyes never leaving Jenni's.

"But I want to see this…" Mike whined.

"No because I have other stuff planned as well," He said turning his head and grinning at Mike.

That was when Jenni truly noticed the absence of her clothes and felt very exposed.

"Fine." Mike said trudging out of the small room and slammed the door shut. Pauly got up and walked over to the door. He pressed his ear to it and waited till he was sure Mike was gone. Jenni sat there scared, but also puzzled as to why he would want to wait.

After he was sure Pauly turned back to Jenni, who curled up, not sure of what he was planning. A cold breeze swept though from under the door and she involuntarily shivered.

He let out a small sigh before pulling his white t-shirt off and handed it to her. She looked at it and she was confused, "Just put it on, it's not going to burn you…" He spoke to her for the first time in five days.

She didn't move, Pauly sighed of annoyance and turned around. She slowly put it on; it was too big for her and reached down to about mid-thigh. Jenni looked at the pile of her ripped clothes on the floor and lost it, she began full on weeping.

Pauly spun back around startled by her outburst but when he saw her, his face softened. He held his arms out, "come here." He said softly.

She looked at him through the tears and she was more confused than ever, "w-what?" She managed to croak out. He sent a small almost sympathetic smile, "come here."

She walked up to him and he wrapped his muscular arms around her, holding her close. For a while she just stood there but eventually gave up whatever inward battle she was fighting with herself and hugged him back. She broke down crying even harder, he sat down and pulled her into his lap. The whole time never letting go of her.

She buried her face in the crook of his neck and closed her eyes, her arms still wrapped around him. "W- why does this have to happen to me, what d-did I do?" Jenni sobbed.

"Shhhhh don't worry he's gone now." Pauly whispered rocking her back and forth. Why was he being so nice to me? Was all she could think. But right now she just needed someone to hug her and tell her everything is going to be ok.

He started rubbing soothing circles on her back calming her down considerably.

Once she stopped crying altogether he pulled back to look at her, he wiped the tears from under her eyes with his thumb. She looked up at his concerned face which only mad her start crying again. "Oh don't cry again," he said pulling her back in for another hug.

She hid her face in his chest breathing in his warm musky sent. Pauly stood up, pulling Jenni with him, "do you want to take a shower or something?" She did but didn't want him there.

"It will make you feel better, trust me and I will be right outside the door no one will get in." Pauly promised her.

He began leading her towards the door. When Jenni didn't move he let out a sigh, "look I'm not going to try anything. I don't know what's the matter with me, normally I would have rapped you by now."

She let go of his hand and her eyes widened in shock, he had rapped other girls so that he would probably do it again.

"Jenni, I was just kidding," He said putting an arm around her waist. "I have never raped before and I don't plan to start. It is just Mike and Ron who have… 'done' it before."

She shifted her gaze to the floor, "that's the worst joke in the world." She sniffed.

"Yeah well I've never been good with jokes," he let out a small chuckle leading her away from that horrible room.

We walked down the hallway in silence, his arm never once leaving her. As we were passing the living room Mike walked out.

I stopped walking and instinctively hid behind Pauly, a large smirk grew on his face and he wolf whistled as he stared at us both.

Pauly ignored him, simply pulling her along a little quicker than normal. "Fine be that way miserable sod," Mike let out and walked in the opposite direction.

"Oh and by the way Jenna or Jenni or whatever the hell your name is, I got our little meeting on film. I'm gonna have such a great time watching it over and over again!" he shot her a cheeky grin as I felt tears forming behind my eyes threatening to spill over.

"Don't worry I'll get it from him later," Pauly reassured her as they entered the bathroom. She didn't feel reassured though, she felt disgusted. She just wanted the floor to swallow her up and never release her again. She just stood there waiting for Pauly to leave.

"Are you going to go in the shower or not?" he asked. "Not with you in here," she said in a duh sort of way.

"What it's not like I haven't seen you before," he smirked. Her mouth dropped in disbelief; he comforts her then just when she is starting to get over it he brings the whole thing up again laughing as if it's nothing.

"I'm not showering with you in here," Jenni stated simply.

"You'll do whatever I tell you to do because yo-" he started. "I'm NOT yours!" she cut in.

"You take that back," he pointed at her dangerously. "Please just leave, I want to be alone." He glared at her for a long moment, "fine." He huffed walking out and slamming the door behind him.

She quickly locked the door feeling somewhat relieved that she was once again alone. She tugged the oversized shirt off and stepped into the warm inviting water.

She felt dirty, violated, and disgusted. She grabbed the nearest sponge and began scrubbing all over, washing all of the Mike off of her.

She was mad at herself and ashamed that she let any of this happen, she bet Pauly enjoyed having her cling onto him crying like a baby. She hates herself, maybe she should just die. She was sure the world would be a much better place without her.

She turned off the water and stepped out into a towel, it was then that she realized that she had nothing to wear. Her clothes were torn so she couldn't wear them anymore.

She hastily put the shirt back on and crept out. Pauly wasn't there, she headed straight for his drawers and found some boxers and a pair of shorts. The shorts were too big and wouldn't stay up so she just put the boxers on. She decided to let her hair dry naturally seen as there was no hairdryer in sight.

She heard footsteps and jumped as the door opened, "good, you're done. Now get back to your room," Pauly said coldly.

Her room, she didn't want to go back in there. Mike could decide to come back at any time and this time Pauly might not be there to stop him.

Pauly began pulling her hand to take her back to the room, She couldn't go back in there she was too scared; she doubted she would even be able to sleep. She stood as still as she could, "Hurry up!" Pauly said irritably.

"Pauly please don't make me go back in there," She whispered looking at the floor. Pauly stopped shooting her a questioning glance. He didn't understand what she wanted. "Just let me stay with you," she pleaded quietly in a hopeful voice.

"Oh so you're ok with me being here now!" Pauly scoffed loudly. She sniffed looking up at him, "Pauly please don't leave me on my own, I feel safe with you."

He laughed, "You feel safe with me, the person who kidnapped you tortured you and nearly let a man rape you?" She put my hand on his shoulder, "but you didn't, you could have let him but you didn't."

She sent him a small smile and he looked at her like she was crazy. "Just please don't make me go back there, I'm scared Pauly," Jenni begged. She must have looked pathetic, she almost expected him to laugh in her face and turn her away.

He gave her a look of understanding; "you're afraid he'll come back aren't you?" he spoke quietly. She shifted her gaze away, looking anywhere but his face. He caught her and tilted her chin up staring into her eyes, she nodded about to cry all over again.

"Don't be embarrassed you have every right to be scared," he said leading her back into his room and shutting the door.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" She let out, she couldn't help it…it was a question that she had been burning to ask since he found her with Mike.

Now it was his turn to look at the floor, "I don't know, I just…I don't wanna talk about it." She simply nodded leaving it at that, she did not want to make him angry. She kind of liked this side of him.

Jenni climbed into his queen size bed, and Pauly followed after her and he pulled the blankets up on top of them. "Goodnight Pauly," she said lying down. "Goodnight," he replied turning out the light. He snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her close, she didn't protest at all, she snuggled closer to him.

For some unknown reason the closer she was to him the safer she felt, which is weird considering he's the one she should be afraid of. Pauly was so confused about the way he was acting. He didn't understand why he was starting to care so much about Jenni, but he didn't hate it.
