Chapter 20: The Never Ending End
Billy, Caitie and Jaime arrived in Kingsport by flight. So it only took
them a day to get there. Billy carried the luggage into the house and
showed Jaime to his room, then Caitie to where she would be sleeping. His
room.
"Billy, I want my own room."
"No Caitie. Were going to be a family. Mom's and Dad's always share a
room. Besides, I won't have you trying to run away in the middle of the
night. That wouldn't be logical."
"What's not logical, is you keeping me and Jaime here like prisoners! I
will run Billy. You can't stop me."
Billy smacked her across the face. "No. No I don't think you will. I have
all the power I need to find you again. And If you run, next time, you and
Jaime won't be so lucky when I catch you."
`
"If you lay a finger on him I'll kill you."
Billy stould up to her and smacked her again. "Try it Caitie. Just try
it." As he walked out of the room he called out, "By the way, were changing
his name. Maybe, Billy jr."
Caitie looked around her new surroundings. It was a beautiful room. The
entire house was beautiful. The last time she'd been in it was when her and
Billy were telling his parents she was pregnant.
Jaime ran into the room and jumped on the bed next to her. "Momma, I'm
scared."
"I know baby. We'll be O.K. I don't think he's going to hurt us." Shelied.
"Momma, is he the one I had nightmares about before? "
"Yes."
Jaime looked at his mother's face, which was staring outwards, away from
her son.
"Will we escape?"
She looked down at the fear in her sons eyes. No child should have to go
through this. It wasn't right.
"I don't know baby, but I'll tell you something. Jaime, John and aunty
Val, well, they'll stop at nothing to try and get us away. Absolutely
nothing. And I'll tell you something else. We've had worse times then this.
Remember when we didn't eat for 3 whole days? We survived that didn't we?
And do you know why? Because we had each other. Mammas not going anywhere.
I'll be right here the whole time."
Jaime buried his face into his mother's chest. "Mom?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm not sure what's going on, but as long as I have you here, I know I'll
be O.K."
When Jaime fell asleep, Caitie put him in his bed, and went down stairs
to the kitchen. A short dark skinned woman was cleaning it up. She turned
around at Caitie's foot steps.
"Hello Mistress. May I get you something?"
"I'm kind've thirsty. Do you have any juice, maybe?"
"Hunny, I think after all you've been through, you need some of this."
She put a brown bottle in front of Caitie.
"Oh, that's O.K. I don't drink."
"Hmm." The lady looked at Caitie as if she said, you will!
"I'm Maurine." She said with an accent. I worked here when Billy's parents
were alive, God rest their souls. They were nice people." Caitie noticed
how sad she looked. "Nice people." She walked out of the kitchen, leaving
Caitie to find something from the refrigerator.
Caitie went upstairs. She opened the door to Jaime's room, but a hand on
her shoulder stopped her. "With me Caitie."
Billy lead Caitie into his room. She didn't bother to change. He got in
the bed, and motioned for her to sit next to him. When she stould there,
his tone got more forceful. "Now."
Slowly she walked over to him. She was too scared to do anything else. To
scared to fight. To scared to run. She sat on the bed, and he started to
rub her shoulders. "Do you remember Caitie? Remember when I used to rub
your
shoulders for you? You liked it then. Didn't you?"
She started to cry.
"Oh please don't cry Caitie. I love you. Don't you know I love you? I
just want you to be happy." He started laughing. An evil laugh that made
Caitie tremble to her bones.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because my dear., this is your life, and you're miserable."
"Well, I'm glad you finally see that. I'm glad you finally realize what
you're so called love for me has put me through. Thanks Billy. Thanks a
lot."
He laughed again.
"Why are you laughing?"
"I don't love you Caitie Roth. I never loved you. All that love crap was
just to scare you. Well, not at the beginning. At the beginning it was to
make you fall in love with me. And now, now this is your life. You're to be
here with me, miserable. Forever."
"I don't understand?"
"It wasn't really planned at all. I was going to make you miserable from
the beginning. That was for sure. I was just going to wing it. Now Jaime,
he was unexpected. But, I kinda like him. But that doesn't mean anything.
He's my pawn. You leave, he dies. So you see, you're trapped. Trapped, and
miserable." He started laughing again.
"Why?" She asked.
"Because Caitie, I'm paying you back for the same courtesy that you showed
me. For putting me away. Sending me to military school. All I wanted was
to go back to live with my mother, but you weren't going to let me have
that were you? Does any of this ring a bell?"
Caitie stared out in shock. She had trouble taking in all that she was
hearing."
"That's right Caitie. Your life is over. I'm ending yours just like you
ended mine. Only, I'm going to make your entire end, slow, and painful."
He got up in her face. "Welcome home." He held his face to hers, and
laughed again. He picked up a beer bottle off the stand next to the bed,
and got up. He took one last drink of it, and then threw it on the ground.
It shattered, and at the instant Caitie heard the break, she burst into
tears.
Billy, Caitie and Jaime arrived in Kingsport by flight. So it only took
