Until We Meet Again

Chapter 5

"Oh my God!" Elizabeth cried in horror, she couldn't believe it was him. This can't be happening. He is in jail for blackmailing Emily, he wasn't suppose to come back for her.

"My dear Elizabeth, I am back," said the man as he stepped towards her. Elizabeth gasped and slowly stepped back.

"You? How did you get out of jail?" asked Elizabeth in no more than a whisper.

"How do you think I did?" he asked. Elizabeth's heart was racing so fast, and she didn't know what to do. She wanted to scream for help, but she was also afraid of what he would do if she did. Elizabeth closed her eyes hoping that it was a bad dream and that Tom Baker wasn't standing in front of her, the man who had raped and attacked her just a few years earlier, the one that had ruined her life.

"P-Please don't hurt me," Elizabeth said fearfully, as he grabbed her hand angrily.

"Don't hurt you? My darling Elizabeth, I have been in prison for 3 or 4 years because of you and stupid your friends. You practically ruined my life," Tom said angrily. He forcefully pushed Elizabeth against the wall. Elizabeth looked into her attacker's eyes. She could see the evil in them and it terrified her. Oh, please someone come by, Elizabeth thought to herself.

"Help somebody! Help me!" Elizabeth began screaming, as she knew that Tom wasn't going to let her go anytime soon, so she had to do whatever it takes to get of there alive. She was afraid for her life, and knew that Tom was very capable of attacking her again or even worst he could kill her.

"Shut up, if you scream one more time, you will never see anyone ever again, got me?" Elizabeth nodded fearfully. Tom looked at Elizabeth.

"I didn't hear you say yes."

"Yes," she said weakly. Suddenly the phone began ringing. Elizabeth looked at Tom.

"I should answer that," Elizabeth said in a quiet voice. She didn't want to do anything that would upset him. Who would be phoning me? thought Elizabeth to herself.

"No, you aren't going to, it is too risky,"

"If I don't someone will come looking for me and I don't think you want that, do you?" Elizabeth asked softly as she tried to reason with Tom as maybe he would change his mind, and realized what a bad idea this was....

"Fine, but if you say anything at all, you are as good as dead," Tom said holding her firmly. Elizabeth nodded and picked up her phone.

"Hello," Elizabeth answered clearing her throat.

"Elizabeth, I know it's late. I just wanted to make sure you are ok," Jason's voice said on the other line. Elizabeth felt tears sting her eyes. She couldn't believe Jason was phoning her. It wasn't like they were on good friends anymore. I'm going to be fine now, because Jason is going to come and save me Elizabeth thought to herself. But instead of telling him that she was in trouble, she just said the word "Jason." Tom squeezed her arm.

"I'm fine, Jas. I promise. I am really tired. Good night," Elizabeth said hoping she sounded like she needed help. She hung up the phone.

"Come on. Let's go," he said gruffly.

"Where?" Elizabeth asked fearfully. So many thoughts were going through her head, mostly she was thinking about that Valentine's Day when Tom attacked her. Is he going to do that again? Elizabeth took a deep breath. I'm going to be fine, nothing is going to happen to me. She reassure herself, but somewhere deep inside her told her that this was the beginning of her nightmare, and there was nothing that nobody could do.

"To my place. Someone is going to come looking for you here and I don't want that," Elizabeth closed her eyes and let the tears fall down her cheeks.

"Don't cry my darling. You and I are going to live happily ever after and your friend Jason will never know where you are," Tom said. Elizabeth held back a sob in her chest.

"She sounded way too weird," Jason said as he hung up his cell phone. She's been acting weird all night. I should go see what is going on with her. Jason thought to himself. He began walking toward Elizabeth's studio, but was he going to get there in time?

***

"Please, I don't want to go with you. You already ruined my life and took something away from me that I can never get back," Elizabeth sobbed as Tom dragged her down the stairs of her studio. He had a firm grip on her, as he didn't want her to escape. He finally had her and was going to make her pay for everything that her and her friends did. He wouldn't have been in jail if it wasn't for them. When they got outside, it was night, she couldn't believe that it was night all ready. When she had gotten back from her walk the sun was just setting. How long were we in my studio?? Elizabeth looked back at her studio. Why did I have to live in such quiet neighborhood, if only I stay at Kelly's, none of this would have happened.

"What are you doing, trying to think of somewhere to escape," said Tom as he shoved her into his car. "Well, I am sorry, Elizabeth, but you are going to live the rest of your life with me now!" Tom said sternly.

"No. Please, don't do this," Elizabeth sobbed. He is really crazy. She thought to herself fearfully.
