~ Chapter Fourteen ~

~ 6 months later ~

Life had been great for the past few months, I was getting on well with Will and Henry was doing amazingly well in school. I was settled into work, everyone stopped looking at me funny and I was back to my old self. It was all really great, I was able to help them solve cases as I always had, I was able to stand up in front of the press without breaking down afterwards. Being without Will had been a good thing for me, it made me a different person. I was easier to get along with and I was a lot more confident. Everything was settling into place.

Today was the day Will was being released from rehab, I got dressed to meet him from there. Smiling at myself in the mirror as I ran out, already late. I was going to take him out somewhere, maybe to the beach. I had missed him so much, I knew he had changed now. No more alcohol and no more crap. I was looking forward to it so much, this time things would be different.

I grinned when I saw him, we had been phoning each other a lot recently, and I had been visiting more than once a month, more like once a week or maybe more. Each time I was happier to see him, and each time he seemed a lot better. He smiled when he saw me, but I could have sworn there was some anger in his eyes, I thought I was imagining it though because when he got in the car, he was perfectly fine. He leaned over to kiss me on the cheek, and I blushed a little.

"I am so glad to be out of this place." He muttered,

"I helped you though." I reminded him, he just slowly nodded and looked ahead of him. I was a bit confused by his behaviour, he was usually glad to see me, constantly complimenting me. Now he was out of there and he was different already.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked him as we drove off, he shrugged, smiling at my slyly,

"Somewhere private." I shook my head,

"Slow, remember?"

"I don't care.. I wanna go somewhere where it's just the two of us." He put his hand on my leg, and I pushed it off quickly, my heart beating rapidly,

"You know the rules." I looked ahead, focusing on the road, trying to stop myself from crying,

"Yeah... well now that I am out of there I can change the rules. They were my rules." He kissed my neck, causing me to swerve a little, I pushed him off again and shook my head,

"Stop it!" He laughed at me, his hand back on my leg,

"Take me somewhere private." He said evilly, I shook my head,

"I don't know anywhere." I muttered,

"Yes you do."

"NO! I don't!" I shouted,

"I don't care where, just take me somewhere baby."

"What has gotten into you?" I asked, slowly realizing that the past six months had been a lie, it was all an act. It was never the drink that made him like this, it was just him, what had I done to deserve all of this? Why had I been so stupid?

"I love you and you love me... why do we have to take it slowly?" He continued to rub his hand up and down my leg, and I shuddered.

"You know why." I shook my head, as he tried to kiss me again,

"I am trying to drive." I shouted at him, pushing him away. He banged his head on the window, and I jumped out of my skin when I heard him shout,

"You will regret that!" I could feel my heart speed up to over one hundred times it's normal rate. I wanted to cry so badly...

He grabbed my hair, and I let go of the wheel in the struggle,

"No Will, I didn't mean to. I am so sorry." Memories came flashing back from all the times before, I was so stupid to think someone could change so much. I started to cry and he grinned,

"Pull over." I nodded, and he let go of my hair, I slowly pulled over and watched him as he got out of the car to open my side, grinning at me.

"Come on." I closed my eyes, I am sorry for whatever I have done to deserve all of this, I didn't do anything wrong, I was a good person. I looked down at the grass as I left the car and my mobile behind...

"What are you going to do to me?" I followed him as he walked ahead of me, his hand in mine as he pulled me forwards with him,

"I will make you pay for everything."

"But I didn't do anything.." I cried, as he yanked me harder, he finally came to a stop when we entered the large woods. I shook my head,

"No, we can talk about this. Let's just get back into the car and talk. Can't we do that instead?" He could hear the panic in my voice, and so could I.

"Please?" I whimpered, he smiled at me,

"I will scream." He laughed loudly, pulling out the gun he had been hiding under his coat all along...

"Where did you get that from? Oh God, Will don't do anything please."

He yanked me harder, further into the woods, with the gun in my back. I had no choice but to go.
