Atrocious Nightmares
"Well how is he?" Jeff asked. "He's looked quite tired at work lately."
"You know at first I took your side Alexis," Jerry said walking around the table until he was standing behind her. "I didn't want to believe Jeff when he told me that he saw you two just a few houses down making out in AJ's car."
Alexis kept her gaze fixed on the table.
"Say something!" Jerry yelled at her.
Alexis jumped and felt her skin go cold. She broke out into a cold sweat.
"But that feeling of hearing that you were making out with Styles in his car passed. They were replaced by a much scarier feeling. Do you want to take a guess at how I felt when Jeff told me that he saw you on top of AJ, and beneath AJ, and every other position possible at AJ's apartment?" Jerry asked her.
Alexis' mind was spinning. She felt nauseous but there was no way in hell that she was going to let it show.
Alexis looked up at Jerry calmly. "What are you gonna do about it?"
Jerry laughed let out an immoral laugh. The laugh itself was enough to make Alexis show her true feelings.
"Well Lexi, I do believe that that's what AJ calls you," Jeff started, "we took the first step this morning while you were still out. We put a lock on your bedroom door so that you can't get out."
Alexis looked around the room but couldn't see a fast escape.
"I think we should take her up to look at it," Jerry said.
"Good idea," Jeff said and dug his fingers into Alexis' arm.
He wrenched her out of the chair. Alexis let out a scream but no one really seemed to care. Jeff yanked her up the stairs, twisting her arm when she didn't move fast enough. Jerry opened the door and Jeff pushed her in.
"You better hope to high hell that lover boy isn't home," Jeff said and slammed the door. Then the lock clicked.
Alexis' back throbbed when it hit the bed post but she jumped up and tried the door. No luck, it wasn't going to open. She tried pulling on the window but it was no use the nails were too strong.
Alexis wiped the tears away from her eyes and looked around. Every thing that could've been used as a weapon in some way was removed. There was nothing.
Alexis fell to the floor crying. She got herself so worked up that felt as if she were going to throw up. It wasn't until she tried to stand again did she notice that her high heels were still on.
Before she had a chance to think she felt her foot go through the window. She kicked it a few more times to get the big pieces to fall. Then she jumped down onto the roof, climbed half way down the lattice in record time, and jumped. She hit the ground and noticed then that her arms were both bleeding. The image terrified her but she started to run.
By the time that Alexis reached the other part of the city she was exhausted. She had had enough to take buses three times but they didn't seem to go fast enough.
She ran up to the building, threw the door open and ran up three flights of stairs.
"I wouldn't go up there," the old mad said.
"Get lost!" Alexis yelled and continued to climb the stairs.
"Pretty scary up there," the old man replied.
Pretty scary? Pretty scary didn't begin to describe what she found.
The door was wide open and there were things everywhere. The place was absolutely destroyed. She looked around for a few minutes before she found AJ.
"Oh God!" Alexis screamed and ran to him.
She hit her knees and wiped away some of the blood.
"Are you okay?" She asked through her own tears.
She took his hand in hers and held onto it tightly.
"AJ…C'mon baby, say something," Alexis said stroking his cheek.
Alexis didn't get a response but she got a cough and that was enough for now. She looked at his face but that wasn't where the damage was done. When she put her hand on his abdomen her hand was soaked. She pulled it away and was appalled. She didn't want to do it but in one swift movement she pulled his shirt up and looked at the multiple lacerations. Her hand covered her mouth.
"And to think that you did all of this."
Alexis jumped up and turned around. Jeff was standing in the doorway.
"How could you do this!" She screamed.
"Do this?" Jeff asked walking closer to her and motioning to AJ. "This is nothing. He isn't dead. Not yet anyways."
"What do you want me to do?" Alexis screamed. "I loved him!"
"Love doesn't do this to a person," Jeff said looking at AJ.
"You know nothing about love," Alexis said.
He tried to get past Alexis but she wasn't going to let him.
"Don't you dare touch him," Alexis said in the calmest voice she could muster.
"Who's going to stop me?" Jeff asked.
Alexis didn't answer. She just stood her ground.
"Being tough for your man?" Jeff asked laughing. "Cute."
Alexis was going to kick Jeff in the groin but he moved and then punched her in the side. She let out a cry of pain.
"C'mon boys," Jeff called.
When Alexis looked up she saw four huge men enter the room.
"Grab them both," he directed.
The men picked Alexis up first and she watched as they roughly picked AJ up. Then as if on cue Jerry walked into the room and looked at both of them. The two men holding AJ revived him and he opened his eyes but it was obvious that he had no idea with as to where he was or the amount of punishment that his body had been through. Alexis began crying and only infuriated Jerry.
"Shut up!" He yelled and backhanded Alexis.
Alexis dropped her head and looked at the floor.
"Now listen up Styles," Jerry said getting right into his face. "Did you have sex with my niece?"
AJ didn't answer, he couldn't.
"Answer me!" Jerry yelled.
Once again AJ was silent. So Jeff kicked AJ in the abdomen.
"Stop it!" Alexis screamed and tried to get out of the grasp of the two men. Then one of the men kicked her in the back.
This time Jerry wasn't so nice. He jerked AJ's head back.
"Did you fuck her!" Jerry yelled.
More silence.
The two men holding AJ dropped him and Jeff repeatedly kicked AJ.
"Are you going to answer?" Jerry asked Alexis. "Did you fuck him?"
Alexis thought of all the possible answers that she could give him but none of them seemed to be the one that Jerry wanted to hear.
"You are one dumb bitch," Jerry said to Alexis. "Get her in the car."
The two men obeyed Jerry and started taking Alexis downstairs. After the first flight of steps Alexis saw the old man.
"Hi sir's lady and sir's lady's friends," the old man said.
"Get the fuck out of here," one of the men said and shoved the old man.
The old man fell down the stairs and stopped in a gruesome position. Alexis didn't dare make a sound but she was horrified. The old man lay at the bottom of the stairs not moving.
Once they were outside the men shoved Alexis into the car and sat on either side of her as Jerry and Jeff got into the front.
When they got to the house the two big men left leaving Alexis with Jerry and Jeff.
Again they pulled her up the stairs but this time they entered the bedroom with her. Jerry left for only a few moments and then came back something shiny in his hands.
"What are you doing?" Alexis asked, her voice shaking along with the rest of her body.
"We're going to take away another thing that you love," Jeff said to her.
Alexis felt Jeff's fingers dig into her shoulders and collarbone. Then she heard the sound of scissors opening and closing. Her eyes went wide and she began to struggle. She learned fast that the harder she struggled the deeper Jeff's fingers dug into her.
So instead of struggling Alexis let herself go. She cried harder than she had cried in her entire life. She thought about AJ and what he probably went through, she thought about the pain that was surging through her body, all of her hair that they were cutting off of her head.
Before she knew it they were done. She felt her head but felt no hair. This only caused Alexis to cry harder. Her fists pounded the bed and she started to go hysterical. She was in such a frenzy that she didn't see Jerry come back into the room and nail a piece of plywood over the open window.
Alexis worked for hours to try to get herself to calm down but every time she started she pictured AJ laying bloody and beaten on the floor. Her body eventually shut down and she passed out.
