Jesse sat on the couch with a lost expression on his face. His eyes were wide as saucers and his jaw was slack. He was hardly breathing, just enough for him to live. His arms were hanging at his sides, his legs heavy. His posture was slumped even though he was leaning against the back of the couch. Mia was rushing about him while tears ran down her eyes, she was cleaning the dirt and grime off of him from the explosion and Jesse just sat there, uncaring of what she or anyone did. Leon and Vince were at the kitchen table chugging down beer after beer, trying to erase the memory of watching the black skyline blow up. Dominic was off somewhere, nobody knew where, and if they did they weren't saying. Letty was in her bedroom, collapsed on the bed crying her heart out. Everybody felt lost without Alyssa.
Jesse began to cry then. Tears leaking from his eyes and pouring down his cheeks mercilessly. Mia noticed this and embraced him in her arms, tears pouring down her cheeks as well. Alyssa was gone, and Jesse couldn't take it. They had just made up, and already she was gone. He had been looking forward to being with her, staying with her, loving her, kissing her, showing her just how much he loved her. And now she was gone. He couldn't believe it. He threw his head back then and screamed, just screamed out his raw pain. Alyssa was gone, how would he go on? Standing up he pried himself from Mia and stormed to the garage. He climbed into his Jetta and sped off. He went back to the spot where they had crashed, police were surounding the area still. Jesse climbed under the yellow tape surounding the area and stalked towards the destroyed black skyline that was still there. Cops pushed at him, telling him to go back behind the yellow tape but he pushed on past them.
When he reached the black skyline he stared into the drivers side and the spot in the back. There was a charred body in the driver's seat but the back was empty. That's not right. He thought to himself. Jesse further examined the car but it was empty except for the person in the driver's seat. He assumed that if they hadn't removed the bodies yet then maybe Alyssa hadn't been in this car at all. He knew she had been taken, but she obviously wasn't in this car when it blew up. Pushing past the cops he went back to his Jetta and drove back to the house. Dom was back, Jesse could see his car in the driveway. Tears were still falling down his face but he didn't brush them away. Entering the house he went up to his room. Alyssa could still be alive, and Jesse was determined to find her.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Alyssa screamed as soon as the gag was pulled off of her lips but the dark chuckle from Jeff stopped it. His eyes bore into her body like drills and she could practically feel him undress her with his eyes. Rememberences of their past together made her squirm uncomfortably. The white scars on her thighs seemed to burn at the memories and she whimpered.
"You think anybody can hear you?" Jeff laughed hard now. "You're so wrong Alyssa, we're far away from where anybody would care, you're mine now. Mine to do with what I wish." Alyssa whimpered softly and pushed herself further into the wall. Jeff stalked up towards her, he lifted her up, his large biceps pumping with the movement.
"What do you want?" The question could mean any number of things for him but Alyssa held her ground even though she was being held above it.
"You of course, did you forget how much I want you?" He frowned. "Guess I'll just have to remind you." Alyssa sincerely hoped that Jesse would hurry up and rescue her because she did not want to be stuck here any longer than she had too. Jeff untied her and when she was free she punched and kicked at him as hard as she could, he took it with stride and tied her to the wall this time. She was pinned there, spread eagled against the wall. Foreboding creeped up on her and forced her to think of the possibilities as he neared her. What if Jesse thinks I'm dead? What if he dosn't come for me? What if I never see him again? The questions bothered her and she forced them to the back of her mind as Jeff reached into a nearby box and pulled out a whip.
"I've been saving this just for you Alyssa, I bet you can't wait for me to whip you." He whispered menacingly as he unwrapped it. The whip was long and the end was frayed. Alyssa knew this was going to hurt like hell so she tried to brace herself for it. The sting of the whip was sharp against her bared legs and she wished he would just stop. He whipped her continuously, sometimes turning her around so he could get her back. Alyssa could feel the blood dripping down her back and legs, but she didn't cry or scream, she just stayed silent and wished he would stop.
"Not enough?" Jeff asked her. Alyssa didn't respond in any way, just stayed there pinned to the wall. "Then how 'bout something different?" He dropped the whip and lifted his shirt from his body. She could see the muscles, but knew he wasn't anywhere near as strong as her older brother. When he started unbuckling his pants she started to scream and writhe against the restraints. There was no way she was going through this again. His pants dropped and he walked up to her.
"I'm going to make you mine all over again Alyssa." He whispered before forcing his way into her body. Alyssa screamed and began to bang her head hard against the wall. She tilted it forward one more time and then slammed it back as hard as she could. Th world went dark in her eyes, releiving her of the pain of being raped again.
OoOoOoOoOoOo
Jesse sat down with the others at the breakfast table. Vince and Leon looked like they had major hangovers as they nursed cups of coffee and swallowed the pills Mia offered to them. Mia and Letty's eyes were red and swollen from the tears they had cried yesterday, Mia was still whimpering. Dom was the last one to come downstairs, his eyes were red and his cheeks had faint tear stains. Jesse made no comment about it. He figured now was a good time to tell them.
"I think Alyssa's alive." He spoke in a hushed whisper at first, afraid of what their reactions would be. Vince, Leon and Letty stopped eating, Mia stopped cooking and Dom just stood there in the doorway staring at him like he was nuts.
"Jesse, I know you loved the girl, but you can't keep her alive in your mind forever." Mia spoke just as quietly. The others obviously agreed with her because they all nodded their heads.
"No really, I went over to the crash site, there was only one body in there. The driver's. I think Alyssa wasn't in that car."
OoOoOoOoOoOo
