When I took Ana from her apartment after she passed out, we went to my dad's house. I couldn't take her to my apartment. I have a roommate living with me. He is most likely there, and it was too risky. I have to get her far away from here. So, I took her to my dad's house. He moved to Seattle shortly after I started college. He said he wanted to be closer to me. My dad has been out of town since Saturday, so I need to leave soon before he returns home. I know that bringing her here was not the smartest idea. She has been in my room and I have been keeping an eye on her from time to time. When she is asleep, I just sit there and watch her. God, she is so beautiful. My sleeping beauty. When she was in my arms, just feeling her soft skin touching mine, I knew I did the right thing. I love this girl so much. I will do anything to make her mine. I couldn't stand it anymore when she told me she didn't love me. It hurt and pissed me off at the same time that she said she only cared for me as a brother. I can't accept that. She is everything to me. She is all I have desired since we were teenagers. Telling her I liked her when we were younger, she just brushed it off. I hated it when she went on dates. She was supposed to go out with me. ME! She had this look in her eyes,like I was crazy when I told her I loved her and that I wanted to marry her one day. She always said she saw me as a friend, but I didn't. Why can't she just accept me? What's wrong with me? I think I am a pretty good-looking guy. She just needs time to realize she loves me. Yeah, that's all it is. With time I will make her love me and we will get married and have beautiful children together. No matter how long it takes.

I woke up I feeling groggy and disoriented. My wrists were hurting from how he tied me to the headboard. I don't think I have been here long, though. Where ever here is. I have seen Jose come in to the room occasionally and I would try talking to him through the fabric that is currently still wrapped around my mouth. I have been pleading with my eyes for him to let me go. Or to at least untie me. He just tells me repeatedly that he is doing this for us. When he takes off the gag, I scream for help. He tells me to be quiet, but I don't listen to him. He puts the gag back on and he leaves. Jose locks the door behind him, and I look around the room. There is nothing I can use in here to protect myself. I am terrified of what he could do to me while being tied up. I really don't know what he is capable of anymore. I try to come up with ways to convince him to untie me without pissing him off and from keeping me here longer. My arms are hurting and it's not very comfortable. I hear a click of the lock on the door once more and I see Jose walk in.

He approaches me and said "Hey, you're awake." I move my wrists, hoping he will untie them. He comes toward the side of the bed and sits next to me. He tries to move the hair that is in my face but I my head. Don't touch me.

"Don't do that, you don't want to hurt yourself now," he tells me and all I want to do is scream. I don't want to be here. I want to go home. Jose removes the gag, and I immediately start talking to him. I realized that screaming just pisses him off. Just play nice Ana. We will get through this.

"Please Jose, let me go. My wrists hurt. I just want to go home. We can forget this ever happened." I'm practically pleading.

"I can't, Ana, I told you I loved you and I know you do too. We are going to leave Seattle and live somewhere else where nobody knows us. Start fresh," he says.

He has gone crazy! I need to get out of here. There has to be a way out. I can't stay here any longer. I need to come up with a way to trick him so he can at least release the ties.

"Jose, please, let's talk about this. What you are doing is wrong. You are holding me here against my will. I promise I won't say anything. Can you at least remove the ties? They really hurt."

"Only if you promise not to run."

"I promise," I say, hoping I convinced him.

"Good." He starts with the right hand and then instead of going around he hovers over me to get the other hand. I swear I hear him smelling my hair. GROSS! I take it as an opportunity to knee him in the groin as hard as I could. He rolls over and falls off the bed and goes into a fetal position, holding on to his crotch. I untie my other hand and I jumped off the bed to make a run forthe door. I went for another swift kick to the stomach and I hear him yelling for me. I see the stairs and run down to look for the front door. Before I could reach the door, I felt his hand in my hair and pulled me back. It was a fight-or-flight response and I fought. I got a few punches in before he got me back. I feel a hand on my cheek and and he shakes me. He hits me again and I am just wiggling, hitting him and trying anything to just get him off of me.

"FUCKING STOP ANA! STOP FIGHTING ME! YOU'RE MINE, DONT YOU UNDERSTAND! IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU THEN NO ONE WILL!" he yells at me,and I am trying to get out of his hold. I bite his hand and he pushes me back hard, that I hit my head on the wall. Fuck, that hurts.I saw he had dropped a knife.Where did that come from? I picked it up, and I threatened to use it if I had to. I'm feeling slightly dizzy. My head is throbbing, but I need to get out of here.

"Stop, Jose, you kidnapped me. You don't love me, you drugged me in my apartment. This right here, what you are doing isn't love. I am leaving this place, and I want you to stay away from me. I don't love you and you are clearly insane. You're delusional, you need help!" I say, holding up the knife directly pointing at him.

I reach for the door knob and I just see him launch towards me. I close my eyes for a quick second and when I open them, Jose is on the floor with the knife in his stomach. I panic so I take off running. It is dark outside and I just run down the street to get away from that house as fast as my legs could carry me. I don't even know how long I am running for. My legs are burning and my head hurts. The next thing I know, I am crossing the street and I hear a horn honk at me. Shocked at the close impact, I fall to the ground.

I am laying in the middle of the street and all I feel are arms holding me up. Someone is trying to talk to me.

"Miss, are you okay? Are you hurt?" the stranger asks.

I open my eyes and look up to see the most gorgeous pair of eyes.

"Help me please," is all I can say before I pass out.

I am heading back to Escala after a long night at Grey House. This deal I am working on with Ros has me so stressed out. Ros said I need a vacation after this deal is closed. I need to get away for a while. Perhaps a week at the Aspen house might do the trick. I need to clear my head and try to forget everything that has happened in the last few months. My ex-girlfriend thought I worked too much and one day she feltshe shouldn't compete with GEH for my attention. I guess in a way I was focusing more on my company than her,but when we started dating, I was fresh out of college and I had everything in motion to start my company. I thought she would support me. I thought she loved me enough to be by my side through all this. We were together for 3 years. I was even thinking about proposing to her before she broke it off. I guess we just weren't meant to be if she could just up and quit on our relationship after all those years together. I hold nothing against her. I was pretty selfish.

As I was about to turn in to the parking garage, I see someone walking in the middle of this street. I honk at the woman who wasn't paying any attention to where she was going. I know Taylor is following behind me in the SUV. I get off the car to see if she is injured. What is she doing out at this hour of the night? She is laying on the ground and I reach her and grab her arms.

"Miss, are you okay? Are you hurt?" I ask.

She opens her eyes and all I can see are ocean blue eyes. Wow, she is beautiful.

"Help me, please," she says before she closes them again.

Shit, "TAYLOR!" I yell. I see him approaching me and I see him on the phone.

"I'm on it Sir. Help is on the way," Taylor says.

"Miss, please stay with me. Can you open your eyes again for me? Miss?" Shit, I think she passed out. I can feel she has a bump on the back of her head. What happened to her?
