I've been trying to update this story since my other update! I tried to double update that night, because I felt bad for making you all wait for so long! But it wouldn't let me!
I hope this makes sense to you, if not. Just think: Jason is evil and likes to be in control. That will help! Enjoy!
Oh, and btw…the chapter title comes into play in this chapter!

Angel laid there trembling, hugging her knees to her chest. She stared out the window—the locked window. Jason had meant it when he said she wasn't leaving. The only window in the whole loft, that's what she decided this place was, had a lock on it. And the door was just ridiculous. Jason had put a lock on the outside of the door.
Her eyes were red and swollen from the crying she had done. Jason had done it again. The twisted need for him to have Angel caused him to rape her. Again. Then, when she tried to fight back, let's just say…it didn't go over to well. And then, just like old times, he left Angel alone to go to the bar to drink away his "guilt". That is, if he had any. Angel groaned through her chattering teeth. How could she have let him? Angel's mind kept shifting back to when he said he loved her. It hurt. People always say that this, the physical pain and torment is what hurts the most. Well, they're wrong. It's what he says afterwards. How he loves her and cares for her, yet he continues to hurt her. No, that's what hurts the most.
Angel continued to stare out the window. She had figured out that it was on the second story of a building. And it was near the community center where her and Collins went to Life Support meetings. It's a start anyways.
Her gaze shifted to the phone. May be…she could call for help? No, that wouldn't work. Who'd want to help her anyways? And besides, she didn't even know where she was. Angel sniffed; it was really cold in this loft.
She needed to hear someone or something…comforting. She reached out a shaking hand and picked up the phone receiver. She dialed and all too familiar phone number and listened to the rings. Finally, someone picked up. She sighed a sigh of relief and instantly felt more tears come to her eyes. "Collins…" she whispered.

Collins hadn't really moved at all since he had gotten home a few hours earlier. He couldn't eat or sleep. What's the point anyways? His Angel is out there somewhere having…god only knows what happening to her! He was still staring at the phone, although his gaze did shift occasionally to the wall. His mind was a complete blank. The only thought running through his head was…Angel.
His heart leapt when the phone rang. He reached for it, bring it to his ear. "Hello?" He asked.
He heard something, sounding like quiet sobs and then a voice whisper. "Collins…" He almost fainted right there.
"Angel baby, are you okay? Where are you?" He asked her, trying not to sound too worried.
Angel sniffed again and said through her chattering teeth. "Yeah…I'm alright, I guess." She said quietly. She shivered again. Wow, it really was that cold in here. "As for where I am…I don't know! Collins, I don't know what to do, or anything. I'm stuck in this apartment….somewhere." She was sobbing now. "And Collins…I'm scared. I just want to come home," She said.
Collins heart literally broke as he listened to her. He would have given anything to be able to hold her in his arms and protect her, tell her everything will be okay. "Angel I'm coming to you," he told him, the certainty in his voice.
Angel sniffed, obviously trying to calm down, she had done enough crying. "Collins…I don't know where I am…or anything." She told him, getting slightly frustrated. She wanted to be with him right now more than anything. Hearing his voice, as much as it was calming her, wasn't enough.
Collins sensed her frustration. "Baby," he said gently. "Just tell me what you do know."
"All I know is that I'm sort of close to the community center." She said.
Collins nodded. "So it's near the community center. What else can you tell me baby?" He asked her, trying desperately to not show the fear in his voice. She was sounding so scared and fragile on the phone. It was killing him inside.
Angel shrugged. "It's facing so that the community center is to the right." She said.
Collins nodded. "Okay baby, hold on. I'll be there as soon as I can." He said softly, wanting her to know that he was going to help her.
Angel sighed. "Collins, you won't be able to get in. He's locked both the window and the door," she replied sadly.
Collins was silent for a moment, thinking. "I'll figure something out, okay."
Angel nodded to herself. "I better go now. I don't know what he'll do if he catches me on the phone."
Collins could only say, "Alright baby, I'll be there as soon as I can. I love you baby." He told her, sincerity in his voice laced with concern. As much hatred as he had for Jason at the moment, he was going to push it aside and focus on Angel. Not on what happened to her, but getting to her.
Angel smiled. "I love you too." She said quietly. And with that, they both hung up, wondering how this was going to work.
