A/N hey there guys! I'm sorry I've been away for so long, but my computer broke and I had to get a new one, sigh. Also this one doesn't have word, so any mistakes is because the spell checker isn't as good, or something. Well I'm back and this is the next chapter, please review! Oh, and there are some uses of swearing but i think it's reasonably necessary, kind of anyway, hehe

Lindy's POV

"there, don't you look pretty, we'll have to show mother, i bet she'll cry, she did on my wedding day, do you think she'll cry?" Laura had just finished doing my hair. i looked into the mirror. Well, looked wasn't the right word, i was looking, but i didn't see anything.

"Lindy, what do you think?" i forced my eyes to focus and saw myself, my brown hair piled in complicated curls on top of my head, my eyes travelled down and i saw it. The wedding dress. It was the most beautiful dress I'd ever seen, an off the shoulder, with lots of petticoats to make it stick out. But it was the symbol that i would never be free, not after today.

"lovely" i managed to croak out.

"are you ok?" Laura turned me to face her and studied my face. I forced myself to smile, something I'd been practising a lot over the last few weeks.

"I'm fine, just nervous."

5 minutes later and my dad took my arm, as the wedding march began to play.

"I'm so glad you changed your mind, Lindy. Jake's a good boy and he'll treat you right." he whispered to me. I just smiled. We walked down the aisle of the huge church, past row upon row of smiling guests, and none of them were who i wanted them to be.

It was stupid, he had no way of knowing what was happening, he had written to me every week and i still hadn't replied. He didn't know what was happening, and yet i had still hoped he would be here to rescue me. I looked through my veil at my husband to be, he was smiling at me, but i knew that was just for the guests. I knew the look in his eye, the triumph, he knew there was no way i could escape, no way i could get away from him, from saying the two words i had been dreading for the past month.

"i... i do" i felt Jake's visor-like grip on my arm loosen as i said the words, but he still kept a tight grip on me.

"now one last thing," the smiley priest said, "is there anyone here who has any reason why these two lovely people should not be married? Speak now or forever hold your peace."

somebody, say something, anything, anyone i thought as i heard a cough echo through the church, but apart from that there was only silence.

"then i pronounce you man and wife." the priest beamed at us, "you may kiss the bride" Jake forced me to face him and before he kissed me he whispered:

"didn't come did he?" i felt him sniggering against my lips as i held myself wooden and heard everyone clapping. Applauding the worst thing to ever happen to me.

My first hour as a bride went by in a blur, one minute i was getting confetti thrown over me and the next i was dancing with my new husband. All the time all i could think was, it's not fair, why didn't he come, why didn't i tell him. I felt so stupid, i should have told him, but i couldn't he would lose his job, and you can't get a job easily if you're a dancer. No i did the right thing, i tried to convince myself, while dancing with my dad.

"can i have a word with my wife?" a smiling Jake came up, whisking me off. He led me out of the main room and down a corridor that was quite a bit away from the rest of the guests. Somewhere where no-one will here me scream as soon as that thought entered my head i began to panic What had i let myself in for. Finally he stopped and turned round, smiling at me.

"what do you want?"

"a kiss from my wife, that's the whole point in getting married isn't it?"

"I've kissed you before," i tried to sound tough, but i took an involuntarily step back. He grabbed my arm, twisting me until i was forced against the wall, then he stepped into me so i was pinned there.

"that's not what i meant" i tried to struggle free, "look Lindy, i never wanted to hurt you, but you're forcing me to do things i don't want to."

"so are you, please Jake, not now, not like this. it's meant to be special."

"what is? Your first time, don't play the innocent virgin with me you slut. What's wrong with me, or is it only spic's (A/N i got this from DD2, i believe it is an insult for Spanish people, i wouldn't know as i am a nice person who would never use such language, hehe) that turn you on?"

i kneed him then, and tried to run away. But he grabbed me and slammed me back against the wall, my head whacked off it. He gripped my chin, forcing my to face him

"now that was very, very stupid."he pushed his lips against mine, enough to bruise them. I tried to push him off me, but he was too storng. i felt tears running down my face as his hands began to undo the zip at the back of the dress.

"let her go!" i heard someone shout then i felt Jake let go, i had a second to wonder why, until i saw him on the floor, his lip bloody, suddenly he jumped up and charged for my saviour.

"Jesse," i breathed,then i saw spots in my vision and i couldn't hear anything, then everything went black.

I woke up what could only be a minute later as i could still hear struggling. I pulled myself up, ignoring the headache and had to lean against the wall. I touched the back of my head and found it was bleeding, no time to worry about that though, Jesse and Jake were slamming each other into the walls of the corridor, each was bleeding heavily and it looked like they wouldn't stop until the killed each other.

"help, someone help!" i screamed, but i knew no-one would hear, i ran over to them, pulling Jesse off Jake, as he slammed him so hard into the wall that Jake ended up on the floor. His eyes were shut and his head was bleeding heavily.

"shit," i said, leaning back into Jesse's arms. Suddenly a number of people rounded the corner, they took in the scene and jumped to the easiest conclusion their conservative minds could manage.

"get off her," someone grabbed me, pushing me backwards as they grabbed Jesse, bending his arms behind his back.

"what are you doing?" i shouted hysterically, "let him go!"

"don't worry, you're safe now," a voice i recognised as my dad said, "come on,"

"no you've got it all" i saw spots again, "wrong" i whispered as i blacked out, again.

Jesse's POV

i woke up staring at an unfamiliar ceiling, it took me a minute or two to piece everything together.

I'd got sick of not hearing from Lindy, i was actually slightly worried, so i left work and drove to her house. No-one was in but a neighbour had told me about the wedding. I'd got in through a back-door and was heading through a maze of corridors as i heard the sounds of a struggle. I ran round the corner and saw that bastard Jake shoving Lindy up against a wall and undoing her dress, i didn't know what to think until i saw the tears rolling down her face. Then i just stopped thinking and now I'm here, in a bloody prison cell, charged with who knows what. And what am i dreaming of, a life in jail to come, no. I'm dreaming bout those dreamy eyes. All i can think about is mi buonita, she was hurt, and she fainted, i don't know if she's alright, no-one will tell me anything.

Suddenly the door to my cell opened and a gruff looking police man stepped in.

"you've got a visitor" my heart leapt as i hurried into my handcuffs. For the first time ever.

I expected to see a wave of brown hair waiting for me at the table, but instead it was short grey hair that met me. I recognised the man instantly as Mr Green, Lindy's father. Shit i thought as i sat down opposite him.

"I'll get straight down to business shall I?"

"i suppose, i wasn't really expecting you to ask about my state of health," i said sarcastically.

"that's enough of the cheek, because i think you should be very glad to see me, as i have a deal for you. I can get you out of here, no charges, maybe not even a record. But..."

"let me guess" i interrupted, "I'm never to see Lindy again. Well forget it, the answer's no."

"you shouldn't say that so quickly, do you know what you're being charged with? Rape, multiple assaults, i could go on," he sat back in his chair calmly.

"i... rape? But i never, i don't understand"

"Jake told the police about what happened in the hotel, and that Lindy was too scared that you would hurt her again to admit to what had happened."

"that's ridiculous, i didn't do anything! I never raped her!" i shouted, slamming my fists on the table, "what does she have to say about this?"

"she denies it, because she's scared,"

"if you thought i was a rapist, why would you be letting me out?"

"look, i am getting tired of being in here" he motioned vaguely around the room with a disgusted look on his face, "are you going to take the offer or not?"

"i..."

A/N will Jesse take the offer? Will Lindy be alright? What will happen? To find out, you have to review!
