Jamie stayed in Landon's arms for the rest of the night, both falling asleep on the sofa. She felt safe and almost happy in his arms but she couldn't tell Landon what she knew, that Mike was the one who raped her. Jamie couldn't find the words to tell him, she wanted to but when she tried no words would come out, she was still so shocked that he did something so horrible to her.

Jamie slowly opened her eyes and realized she was asleep on Landon's chest and felt so comfortable. She looked up and saw he was still asleep. Jamie sat up and looked at his peaceful face and smiled. She couldn't help every time when she looked at him, thinking of the times to come when he wouldn't be around, those thoughts made her smile fade away.

Jamie decided last night before she finally was able to fall asleep, that she would quit her job at the bar and find something else to help her pay the bills because there was no way she could work at the same place she was raped and it was owned by the poor excuse of a man who raped her, Mike.

She carefully stood from the sofa and went to her room before taking a quick shower and changing. She tied her hair up in a pony tail then walked back to the living room to see Landon was gone, she went to go see if he had went to his room. Jamie walked down the small hall way to see Landon had went to his room, he was sitting on the edge of his bed looking through a pile of t-shirts that were on one side of his bed.

" Hey, what are you doing?" Jamie asked as she stood at the frame of his doorway with crossed arms.

" Getting ready for work, you?" Landon asked as he stood from his bed and walked past Jamie.

" Nothing. I'm stuck here all day." Jamie said. She decided to tell Landon everything later on today after she quit her job and he wasn't rushing off to work.

Landon went into the bathroom and showered and changed. he met up with Jamie back in the living room. " Are you ok with being here all day alone?" He asked as they both walked over to the front door.

" Yeah I'm fine." Jamie said and meant it. She wasn't worried about anything happening in her own home, no one really knew where she lived.

" Alright." Landon said with a nod. They stood at the front door which she had opened for him, he stood in front of her, staring into her big brown eyes. He felt something over power his body and just turned off his brain, he slightly bent down and kissed Jamie on the lips. " Be careful." Landon said before he left. He had no idea what made him finally get the guts to kiss her, he had been wanting to again for so long.

Jamie closed the door when he walked away. She touched her lips, she couldn't believe Landon had just kissed her and it didn't felt weird or wrong, the kiss on the lips felt oddly enough right inside her heart. She went back to her bedroom with a huge grin on her face, she couldn't remember the last time she had a smile that big. She had always had a crush on her best friend, she thought of that night they kissed and almost slept together almost every night but she never thought something could happen between them, something like a relationship.

Jamie laid back on her bed and closed her eyes, she felt like a little girl filled with such excitement, thinking of her self like that made her want to slap her self.

Jamie was pulled out of her thought when she heard a noise coming from the living room area, the front door? She thought, but that couldn't had been it, she locked the door, right? She got off from the bed and carefully not making a sound went out into the hall way, then into the living room. She checked the door, closed and locked, she let out a breath she had been holding.

She looked around the living room then the kitchen, everything seemed in place but she heard a noise again. She didn't have to go look because the sound came to her, standing before her was the man that raped her. Damn it, she thought, she was so caught up in what happened with Landon she didn't lock the door. But she also knew if Mike wanted to get in, he would have found away. Jamie just wished she didn't give him such an easy way.

" Jamie, you don't looked to shocked to see me." Mike said. She was shocked and scared out of her mind but she wasn't going to let him see that.

" What the fuck are you doing in my house?" Jamie sharply asked. She knew what he was capable of but she wasn't going to let that bastard see her scared.

" I realized after you left last night, you figured out my secret. I know I sipped up but we can't dwell on the past." Mike said. He acted as if nothing was wrong with what ha had done to her that night and was doing then.

" What are you going to do?" Jamie asked, still keeping her clam. She looked around for a way out of a way to get help. Mike was standing in front of the door, so she couldn't go that way. He was standing close enough that if she did try something he could have stopped her. She fought the urge to scream her head off and freak out.

" I can't have you telling anyone what happened, someone might believe such a lie." Mike said. His voice was cold and low and just plan damn scary.

" Lie? What you did to me wasn't a lie, it was every much real." Jamie snapped, she knew that may be wasn't the best choice but she couldn't just let him get away with that. She began to shake with fear but she also became very angry.

" You're a beautiful girl Jamie. It's a shame you couldn't just give me what I wanted." Mike said as he pulled out the knife he admired last night when he came up with his plan to take care of his problem.

Jamie's eye's widen when she saw the big blade in his hands. She felt her heart stop when she realized what he was there for, to kill her. She knew he wasn't just there to say hi, he was going to try and do something to her but death didn't seem to cross her mind. She looked around she had to do something, Mike seemed to have read her mind because he said. " There's no way out Jamie."

Mike moved closer to Jamie and she kept steeping back. She wanted to fight but there was nothing she was able to do. He grabbed her arm and Jamie saw the evilness in his eyes, she never thought someone could be so evil.

" No." Jamie screamed as he tried to pull her arm free. Mike moved the knife to her neck, she stopped moving and kept looking into his eyes, she didn't want to it was just to hard not to.

An adrenaline rush seemed to flood her system, Jamie pulled away from Mike with all her strength before he could slit her neck but he did manage to cut her. She kicked him hard in the groin and ran to the door once he hit the floor but his hand caught her ankle before her hand could touch the knob, she tried to pull her self free but he was just to strong for her.

Mike pulled her down to the floor and they started to fight with each other.

" Let me go you son of a bitch!" Jamie yelled as he grabbed both her hands.

She tried to get away, Jamie turned over on her side and tried to crawl away but he kept pulling her back. Then somewhere along the line a picked up the knife he dropped when Jamie had kicked him.

Jamie let out a loud scream when she felt the steel crush into her back. She couldn't help but think, this isn't fair, I don't wanna die. But as Jamie closed her eyes from the pain, she only thought of one thing, Landon.
