Chapter 10: FEAR
KIM'S POV
The panic that had been there the moment before turned to complete and utter fear. I took a few deep breaths to try to calm myself down and then had to react. There were only two people that affected me like this and I knew couldn't let either of them have this kind of control over me. I reached up slowly and pulled his hands away from my eyes. I then turned around facing him while I stood up to face to face with him.
"What are you doing here, Tommy?" I asked calmly.
"Waiting for the boss, but I don't know if he will make it here before I have to just take action myself." He replied with an evil grin.
"Take action?" I said questioningly.
"Yeah, get you out of here!" He replied snidely.
"And how are you going to do that? My house is full of people. There are bikers, like you guys, and football players all over downstairs and you are just going to what?...Walk out with me kicking and screaming and no one is going to notice!" I responded sarcastically trying to hide the real fear that was building inside of me.
"Now, Kim, really the important thing in that statement is that they are all downstairs!" He replied with a wink.
I felt my heart rate increasing in speed and just looked at him for a minute shaking my head while I tried to relax. Then I just asked the only question that mattered through gritted teeth. "What do you want?"
"Kimmy, don't be like this. You know you are happy to see me. You probably had more fun tonight riding that bike than you have had in a long time. And I am the one who taught you to ride bikes like that." Tommy said stepping closer to me and running his hand down my cheek as I turned my head away from him. "I can't believe you were able lose me. You could have really been hurt doing that." He added.
"I was highly motivated to get away from you at all costs so I felt it was worth the risk." I replied with a disgusted look on my face.
He touched my cheek again holding my face in place so I was looking at him and ran his other hand through my hair. I grabbed his hands and threw them off of me. "Seriously, Tommy. What is this all really about?" I asked glaring at him. "Dylan doesn't usually go to all this trouble for someone like me. He has a ton of girls out there."
"You know what it is about. Dylan wants you to come back with him. He wants you to come home and frankly so do I. It hasn't been the same since you left. I miss you." He answered with a smirk.
"Tommy, stop it. You need to leave before anyone realizes you are here." I said with anger in my voice and then continued. "I don't want to go back with you guys. I had to leave or he would have hurt me worse next time. I am happy with my dad and my life here. If you care about me at all, you would leave me alone."
"Kimmy, you know I can't do that. I wasn't going to let him hurt you anymore. I told you that. Why couldn't you just believe me?" He replied with a grin.
"No, you were just going to start, right?" I replied angrily.
"You are such a silly girl. I don't know what it is about you that drives so many guys crazy. Maybe if you would figure it out and dial it down a bit, we wouldn't have this problem." He said glaring back at me.
The look in his eyes told me that the time for talking was over. This is when I feared Tommy the most. It was like a switch had been thrown in him and all of the anger that he had built up over the years for everything joined together. His eyes were almost black and I knew better than to say anything else. He waited for me to push him further, but I didn't so he pushed me.
Tommy grabbed my upper arms and shoved me against the wall in the bathroom. It wasn't that he pushed me with such force that it hurt, but I knew I wasn't going to get out of his grasp easily. He looked down at me and stood there for a moment before he spoke. "Kim, you are leaving here with me! Now! You are going to be quiet and I will promise you that all of your stupid friends will be alright. You see, I don't play games like Dylan does and you know that. Part of our guys are outside waiting for us and if you don't leave, there could be a horrible accident with your family home. I don't know if all of your friends would survive the fire, but we could find out, if you want?" He just smirked down at me waiting for my response.
I was shaking and couldn't control it anymore. I knew that he could feel it because his grin widened and he looked really pleased with himself. I took one deep breath and looked up at him and said, "You are not going to hurt my friends or burn down my house because that is not the way that you convince someone to come back to all of you. I would never forgive any of you and you know it. This is ridiculous and you have to stop it now before anyone gets hurt."
He looked at me and laughed. "No, Kimmy, you have to stop it. And you can if you just come with me quietly now." He replied coolly.
By the look in his eyes, I knew he was serious and I wasn't 100% sure what to do. If I went with him now, there was no telling what they would do with me, but my friends would be safe. Then there was the thought that once they had me, they would still go after everyone that I cared about. I couldn't let any of this happen!
"Tommy, how do I know that if I go with you that you will keep your word and leave all of them alone?" I asked as calmly as I could.
He leaned in closer to me and whispered in my ear. "I guess you don't, Kimmy." He laughed as he pulled back to look at my expression.
I wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of showing fear or sadness on my face. I kept a straight face and said, "Then why would I go anywhere with you?" I asked.
"You will never change! You don't have a choice. You can either go willingly and hope that I keep my word and we leave your pathetic group of friends alone or you can go kicking and screaming and know that they will all be hurt in a fire." He leaned down where we were eye to eye and continued. "Your choice!"
"Fine. I will go with you. Let me loose so I can get some things put in a bag to take with me." I said calmly.
"Fine, but don't try anything. You may have beaten me on the bikes this time, but you can't outrun me or over power me." He said stepping back with an evil grin and following me into the other room.
He leaned up against my door and I grabbed a small duffle bag out of my closet. It used to be my dad's a long time ago and he had given it to me after he found out about Dylan. I had first laughed at my dad when he gave me his Naval Survival Kit, but then he showed me all of the ways that each item could be used to protect myself.
I carried it over to my dresser and started putting a few items into it for show until I found the things I could use. The first thing I found was the knife, but I was worried about just pulling that out because I knew that Tommy would have his and could over power me with just that. I was by my window and looked out to see if I could see the other guys waiting for Tommy outside. I only saw two of them and that was because they were actually holding some kind of torches in their hands and had glass bottle with liquid in them that they were going to light like explosives. I had to do something so I kept looking through the bag. I then found the insect repellant and whistle. I picked all three items up in my hand and was glad that I had my pajamas on because I would not have been able to pull this off if I were still in my skirt.
I walked back toward Tommy and my closet to grab a few more articles of clothing before zipping up the bag. I turned toward him and threw the bag in his arms getting them occupied while I quickly sprayed the insect repellant in his eyes. He immediately yelled out because I am sure it burnt badly. I then put the whistle in my mouth and started blowing it as loud as I could thinking it would grab some more attention, too. Lastly, I held the knife up in a defensive position and kicked Tommy in the gut.
JACK'S POV
We were all downstairs and happy that the girls had decided to join us. I was waiting as patiently as I could for Kim to come down when I heard someone yell from upstairs, but it wasn't Kim. It was a guy. I didn't even stop to think who it could be, I just ran up the stairs followed by everyone else.
I then heard a whistle blowing really loud and knew that she was in trouble. I tried the door and it was locked. I started hitting and kicking the door trying to get through to her, but was having no luck. We all decided to throw our shoulders into the door to get to her.
KIM'S POV
The problem is that Tommy is a really tough guy. He grabbed my leg as I made contact with him and held it up. We could hear a commotion out in the hall and he was trying to see through the pain of the insect repellant spray. He grabbed the chair at my desk and wedged it under the locked door handle to slow them down more. I took this as my opportunity to get my leg out of his grasp. I still had the knife out and was ready to use it. He moved forward towards me and I immediately punched him in the cheek. This only ticked him off more.
"You really shouldn't have done any of this, Kimmy. Now everyone is going to pay and you are still going with me." He snarled.
I could hear Jack and the guys outside my door, but didn't know if they would make it in my room in time. As Tommy approached me, I sprayed him again and he grabbed my upper arms. He spun me around where my back was up against his chest and held me to him.
"Time to go, Kimmy." He whispered. "And you are in BIG trouble now." He warned as he elbowed me in the chest and I cried out in pain.
I was already in trouble so I took the knife that was in my hand and pushed it into his arm. He released me and grabbed his arm. He picked up a shirt that was on my bed and tied it around his wound continuing to stock toward me. I kicked him again and recoiled faster this time so that he couldn't grab my leg.
Then I realized my mistake. He had backed me up to one of my windows and I heard it break behind me. As I looked over my shoulder, I saw Dylan. He threw his arms around me entrapping my arms and waist in his grasp. He pulled me out the window and Tommy jumped out after us. Some of the glass grazed my skin as he pulled me out of my home and I screamed, but neither of them cared. Tommy jumped down off of the roof over my porch and landed on the ground. The next thing I knew Dylan was dropping me down to him and joining us.
JACK'S POV
I heard her scream and hit that door with everything I had and it finally broke loose. I shoved the chair out of my way and ran into the room to find it empty. There was blood on her carpet and then I saw the broken glass of her window and ran to it.
They had Kim, my Kim in their arms and then I saw what else they were planning. I turned to everyone and said, "We have to get out of here right now."
Everyone started to run out of the house. Several of the guys and me climbed out of Kim's window after Dylan and his gang. I just wanted to get Kim and make sure that she was safe.
KIM'S POV
A guy named Jimmy came over to me with a rag in his hand and held it over my face while I struggled. Two others, Nick and Justin, tied up my hands and feet. I looked up at my house and saw that they had blocked the doors and were working on the windows. They were actually going to burn my house down. Everything that I have of my mom's would be gone. A tear escaped my eye and I looked up to my room. The last thing I remember seeing is Jack leaning out my window before I blacked out.
JACK'S POV
I saw Kim look at me and then she fell into their arms. Dylan and Tommy both smirked in my direction and then I watched Tommy pick Kim up and hold her in his lap as he sped off on his motorcycle. Dylan and several of the others followed them. A few stayed and were preparing to burn the house down around us.
I only wanted to get to Kim, but I had to fight with several of them to even make my way to my bike in the garage. Knowing martial arts really helped me to take down several of his guys easily. Even Liam and his jocks were throwing some good punches with these jerks. We managed to knock all of them out and then Liam and his guys worked on putting out the fire that had been started on the porch.
I yelled back toward all of them. "Tie them up and don't let them go anywhere. We may need to talk to them if we can't catch up and find Kim."
I saw Liam nod and then I was at my bike. I threw the garage open and jumped on my bike with Jerry and Brody right on my heels and we took off after Kim. The rest of my guys were right behind us. I only had one thing on my mind and that was getting to her before they could hurt her anymore. I am going to make Dylan and Tommy pay for this. She is mine and no one takes what is mine, but this was also more than that. I loved her and I was not losing her like this, before I could even tell her what she means to me!
