Chapter 11:From bad to worse
Kathryn paced in the kitchen with a glass of wine. She couldn't just do nothing. She wasn't sure what she could do, but her baby had just took off with a man she did not trust. She knows Bay said he was a sweetheart but Bay's actions had said other wise. Kathryn of course noticed that her daughter had changed she wasn't Bay for the longest time, then when Jason left Bay began to be like herself again. Kathryn started to cry.
"Hun what are you doing? It's two in the morning." John asked. He saw that she was crying and hugged her.
"We can't just do nothing John. She is our baby. She doesn't know what she's doing." Kathryn sobbed. She felt like she had failed.
"What do you think we should do? We don't know where she is, and the cops won't be much help. She is almost an adult Kathryn."
"We know she is in Italy. Angelo knows Italy." Kathryn said a bit hysterical.
"What? Are we going to knock on every door until we find her? Be reasonable." John said rubbing Kathryn's arm. I am worried about her too but I just don't think we will find her let alone force her to come back." Kathryn walked away from John. He took a deep breath. "God please let Bay be okay." He said before fallowing Kathryn upstairs. Please.
"Are you okay?" Daphne asked Noah. He hadn't moved since they have been At Daphne's.
Noah looked at her."Yeah...Yeah I'm okay." He seemed to be distracted. Daphne didn't believe him. She could tell something was bothering him.
"Bay will be okay."Daphne said sitting next to him. She better be. She added to herself.
Noah tried to smile but failed. "I just." He shook his head. "Never mind." He looked down.
Daphne tapped his shoulder making him look at her. "No tell me. What's wrong.?"
"I can't help but feel like all this is partly my fault. I broke up with her. If we were still together then she would have never been with Jason in the first place. We all know he is not a good guy. I'm just worried for her."
Daphne sat there stunned. "No non of this is your fault. Bay is a strong person she will be fine. Please don't blame yourself." She put her hands on his face. She kissed him softly and smiled at him. "Come on let's go get away for awhile." She said pulling him up and leading him to her room.
Bay sat on the bed. It was a cute little one bedroom cottage. It was small and if the situation were different she would have even thought it to be homely. Jason was taking a shower. He had informed her that tonight was the night they would finally "make love." Bay shook her head. They were not going to "make love." The were going to have sex. Her and Emmett made love. She could never have that with Jason.
Nervous she decided to get a drink from the kitchen. It shouldn't have surprised her that it was fully stocked. She gulped down her Coke and slowly made her way back to the bed.
She decided it would be easier if she went ahead and undressed herself. So shaking a bit she undressed and slipped under the covers. She had to concentrate on not thinking about Emmett. She needed to get him far from her mind. Something that seemed impassable. She couldn't help but remember how sweet his kisses were and how she had trembled at his electric touch. She could almost feel him.
Emmett left her mind when she saw Jason. He stood naked and ready in the door way. This time was nothing like her first. This was rushed and unsatisfying. He just kept going and going while Bay wished for it to be over. Finally he was done and he rolled over and fell fast asleep. He hadn't even noticed that Bay cried the entire time.
Bay took a shower. She felt gross and used. She tried to scrub away the feeling. After awhile Bay found herself sitting in the tub crying for Emmett like a small child would cry for their mom when they were hurt.
Dear mom,
I am doing great. Italy was everything we I thought it would be. We are leaving for a new destination tomorrow, but he wont tell me where. He said I would love it more then Italy. I met his grandfather. What a nice man. I didn't know that Jason had family here but I guess we all learn something new every day. I wish you could have seen the sights. It is beautiful here and I am sad to be leaving. Please give everyone my love.
Love Always.
Bay.
Kathryn read the letter twice. She couldn't help but to cry. It had been three weeks before they heard anything from Bay. She gave it to John who also read it twice. It was a relief to here from her although a phone call would have been better. "No return address." He said mostly to himself.
"It wouldn't matter. She said they are moving on." Kathryn sighed. "At least we have heard from her." She said trying to convince herself that everything was fine.
Toby walked into the kitchen. "Hey, Nikki and her mom are going to go dress shopping and she wanted to see if you wanted to go." Toby said to his mom. John and Kathryn both looked at him glum. Toby's brows went together. "Is everything okay" He asked.
John handed Toby Bay's letter. He read it threw then looked at the envelop. "No return address."
"We know." Both his parents answered together. They all stood there for a minuet. "I would love to go with them." Kathryn said answering Toby's question.
"Okay cool they are outside." Kathryn smiled and walked past Toby patting his shoulder as she passed. "I'm Going to go show this to Daphne.
""That's it? That's all she wrote?"Daphne asked after reading the letter. Toby nodded.
"Yeah that's it."He sadly. He was worried for his baby sister.
Daphne took the letter and made a copy of it. Toby watched her confused. "Why are you making a copy?"
She shrugged. "Just in case."
"Hey." Daphne said walking into Emmett's room. He was looking so much better. Most of the bruising was gone and he only had a few cuts that still looked bad." We got a letter from Bay." That had Emmett out of his chair taking it from Daphne.
Bay sat at home alone. Jason was now working for his grandfather. They were still in Italy she just told everyone she left to keep up the appearances. Jason had approved of her letter. He to thought it was a good idea to write to her parents. "Keep them at bay." He had told her. She was not allowed to send it without him reading it and he had arranged for the mail man to pick up and drop off all the mail to him at his grandfather's business.
Bay was re raping her wrist. They had gotten into a fight and Jason grabbed her wrist so tight it had made her cry out. She was lucky it wasn't broken. Or at least that's what he told her.
It was lunch time and Bay heard the car door slam. Jason came home every day for lunch. She had made him chicken Alfredo for lunch. She spent most of her time learning to cook.
Bay went to the kitchen and prepared his plate. It was on the table by the time Jason got in. He gave her a smile. "Hello my love." He handed her flowers and a box of chocolate. He often did this if he hurt her the night before. Bay could remember the first time he hit her. It was over burnt dinner.
"How's the wrist?" He asked sitting down to eat. Bay got her own plate and sat to eat. Jason thought it rude if she didn't eat with him. "It's fine." Bay said. Truth was it hurt like hell but she never gave him the pleasure of knowing.
They ate in silence. She hated it when he was home and wished he would just eat lunch out. He however had to make sure she didn't try any funny business. Not that she would. He constantly threatened her family.
"I would like pork for dinner." He said before leaving. Bay nodded and bed him goodbye. He kissed her hard. After he had turned she wiped her lips. He always gave her wet kisses.
Bay did the dishes and looked for a pork recipe. She often wished she could text Daphne. She always had ways to cook everything. With a sigh she flipped threw a book she got from the library since she was not able to get on the internet.
A knock on the door made her jump. Bay had never had a visitor and wandered who it could possibly. She looked out the little peep hole and saw a man standing there. She opened the door just enough where she could stick her head out.
"Can I help you?" She asked. She had never seen the man before. He was just a little taller then she was. He was dark with brown eyes and black hair that reached his shoulders.
"Is the man of the house home?" He asked in English with an Italian accent.
"No I'm sorry you just missed him. " Bay answered politely.
The man smiled at her sweetly. He reminded her of Jason. "Will you tell him that Antonio dropped by?"
Bay nodded. "Yes of course. Do you have a number or and address he can reach you at?" Bay asked.
"He knows how to get a hold of me." Antonio said before nodding and walking away.
Bay watched the man leave wondering who he was. She eventually shut the door and went back to her recipes.
After she found one she could do she decided to sketch. She didn't have any paints and didn't dare to ask for any. So she settled for sketching. She had to use the notebook paper but it was better then nothing. Today she sketched a face she hadn't seen in over two years. She stared at the picture of Ty and sent him a silent hello.
Bay sighed. Ty had helped her threw learning about the switch and she would be forever thankful for that. Sometimes she wished that he had never left for the army. This way she would probably still be with him and she wouldn't be stuck on Emmett. However the thought of never loving Emmett hurt too.
By the time she was done she needed to start dinner. She pulled the page out and placed it neatly in the broken floor bored under the sofa where she hid the other pictures and things she wanted to keep away from Jason. It was her little piece of heaven in the insane hell.
Jason was home by the time dinner was done. He came in laughing. Bay smelt alcohol on his breath and he was not alone. He had come home with another man who also smelt of whiskey. "Bay." Jason said drunkenly. "This is Guy." Bay looked at guy and smiled. He was a short ugly man. He badly needed to shave. He had small beady eyes and short brown hair.
"Hi I'm Bay." She said reaching out to take his hand in greeting. Guy pulled her to him. "You are right Jason." He said. His breath made Bay nauseous. "I don't know how you keep your hands off her." He added skipping over words, giving Bay a nasty smile.
"I hardly do." Jason answered. He saved Bay from the mans grip only to inclose her in a hug. She hugged him back.
The man ended up joining them for dinner. The men talked about work, leaving Bay to herself. She eat thankful that the men didn't force her to join their conversation.
"Dinner was wonderful." Guy told Bay as she collected the dishes. Bay smiled at him in response.
Jason had excused himself and Bay started the dishes. Sometimes if she went to bed early she could avoid Jason wanting sex. Since they had done it the night before she hoped tonight she could just sleep.
She became aware that Guy was slowly approaching her. This made her nervous. He looked at her like she was something to eat. He went straight up to her and grabbed her hips. Bay tried to push him off. "Get off of me!" She said loudly.
"Oh come now. Lets have a roll around in the sack." Bay struggled to get away from him. His hand made its way up her shirt.
"Get off me!" Bay yelled. Suddenly he was gone. When she turned she saw Jason. He had Guy on the floor. After punching him he yelled. "If you ever touch her again I will kill you!" Jason spit on him. "Get out of my house." Guy didn't need to be told twice. He scurried out like a mouse.
Bay took a deep breath to calm herself down. She was about to thank Jason then he struck her heard across the face. The force made her fall to the ground. She looked at Jason with disbelief. What the hell did she do.
"That was for being flirty." Jason snapped. He turned to walk from the room. Bay stood and went after him.
"You seriously think that I would flirt with that guy?" She snapped back. Jason turned to hit her again but she ducked. This pissed him off further. Bay could see that she, once again, took it to far. She turned to run into the bedroom and lock the door, but something struck her back. She fell to the floor with her back stinging.
Jason squatted next to her and grabbed her face. She saw the belt and knew that's that hit her. She could barley hold back tears. "Don't you ever run from me bitch." He kissed her. "Take a shower your bleeding all over the place." He pushed her away from him. Bay did as she was told not daring to piss him off anymore tonight.
Please leave Review. I hope you Enjoyed :)
