Chapter 3

TWO WEEKS LATER.

"Sarah babe, wake up, I've got you a coffee before you head to work, blueberry pancakes and Ice-cream for breakfast."

Sarah rubbed her eyes and smiled at the man she now had feelings for. She wasn't passionately in love with him, but she had to admit, her heart was warming towards this man.

"Thank you Jon." Sarah smiled and sat up, drinking some of the coffee he had picked up for her from StarBucks that morning on his way over.

Jon lay himself next to her on the bed. gently he played with her soft brown locks. She smiled uneasily, feeling somewhat uncomfortable with him lounging on her bed, playing with her hair like they were a married couple. And as much as she liked Jon, she somehow didn't feel ready for that sort of thing.

He placed one of his hands onto hers and that woke her from her thoughts. She blushed awkwardly at him and pulled a strand of hair behind her ear. A habit she had picked up when she was nervous, shy or uncomfortable.

"Thanks... seriously, you have helped me loads and I really appreciate it."

She took another sip of her coffee shyly as he leaned close to her, and kissed her cheek. He took her cup from her hands, and she watched as he took a sip of it himself. He took that opportunity to kiss her lips quickly before she could move away.

"Its not a problem babe...you know I'll do anything for you." He gave her a sly grin and she looked away from him. He leaned in to kiss her again, and she quickly got out of bed. He followed her, handing her her dressing gown. She smiled and put it on.

"Don't forget to have your breakfast before you go to work." He said

"I need a shower first... Is Toby up yet?" She yawned, wrapping the dressing gown tightly around herself.

"Yeah, up and ready waiting at the door. I'm going to take him in my car, then I'll pick you up and drop you off at work."

he said as he walked towards her, placing his hands on her hips and pulling her towards him, kissing her again. She kissed him back.

"Eww!" Came a voice. Sarah laughed and turned around.

"Hey squirt! your up early today!" she said walking over to him and kissing his cheek before the made her way to the bathroom. Toby glared at them both.

"He woke me up too early Sarah! I'm so tired! and I've been waiting to leave for twenty minutes!" he said angrily before he yawned tiredly.

"Oh I'm sorry Toby, but you know School is early today, you don't wonna be late do you?" She called as she got into the shower.

Toby groaned in annoyance. and stormed out the room. Sarah heard him walk past the bathroom and she called "I'll see you at four Toby! be good for Jon!" she rinsed the soap from her hair and then began washing herself with soap quickly.

Jon shouted to her as he walked past the bathroom. "Back in ten, be ready." he grabbed Toby's shoulder, digging his finger nails into the boys skin.

"Come along now, no more stupid comments. Go and get in the car." he said pushing Toby toward the front door.

Toby hit Jon's hand away from his shoulder and got into the car, slamming the door so hard it might have fallen off. His temper boiled and he got into the car himself, shutting the door behind him and turning to look at Toby, his face red from anger.

"How dare you slam the door like that! I'll have you know this car is my life! without my car, life would be shit. I pay good money for this, and I'm not having a little spoilt brat like you ruin it!" He shouted angrily and started up the car and drove off furiously.

o0o0o0o0o

When Sarah arrived home from work later that day she was surprised to see the house was all in candle light, smooth jazz was playing quietly. She frowned and took off her coat, hanging it up on the hoot by the door, then placing her bags down, she walked into the living room.

"Toby?...Toby where are you?" She said looking at the bottle of champagne and two glasses set out on the coffee table.

Suddenly the door slammed shut and Sarah turned around quickly. Surprised when she saw Jon standing there, a rose in his mouth, a slimy look on his face. He wore only a dark blue dressing gown. "Well, hello Babe." he said, obviously trying to sound seductive. It wasn't working.

"Oh my god! you scared me!" she said placing a hand over her chest.

Jon walked over to her, handing her the rose that he had had in his mouth a moment ago.

She took it and looked at it. Of course it was a fake rose from her bedroom. she forced herself to smile at him as he stared at her. He walked around her, eyeing her up and down. He chuckled and sat down on the sofa, pouring himself and Sarah a glass of the champagne.

"Come, sit beside me." he said, patting the seat next to him.

She hesitated and then did as he bid. he handed her a glass and she took it gently. He smiled. pleased that she had taken it.

"Where's Toby?" she asked a tad nervously.

"He's at his friends house, um Sam's house. he said he was staying there for the holidays?" he said sipping some of his drink.

Sarah thought for a moment before she remembered her conversation with Toby from two weeks relaxed a bit, taking in a deep breath.

"Oh yes that's right...I forgot." she smiled at him then and drank down some of her alcoholic drink. A sigh escaped her as it ran down her throat and she leaned back and closed her eyes. Jon chuckled again.

"Wow, you were thirsty! here, have some more." he said pouring more of the alcoholic liquid into her glass. "Drink up."

Sarah smiled tiredly and drank down some more. "Thanks for this..." she said quietly. "I must say though, its all rather mysterious isn't it?"

He grinned and put his arm around her. "I wanted to surprise you." he said

"Well you did do that!" she laughed. "Honestly though, you didn't need to go to all this trouble." she said. her neck began to ache and she felt a bit dizzy. This champagne was a bit strong.

He laughed dryly. "Babe, don't be silly, I wanted to do this...I've has it planned for quite sometime now...I just thought it would do you some good. its about time you had someone spoil you." he said, as he gently put down his glass onto the table and began stroking her arm.

Sarah's head fussed and she blinked. she was unable to focus on around her seemed to be turning into a blur.

"Besides...I thought it was about time we got to know each other better." he said softly. kissing her neck gently.

Sarah felt herself drifting away ever so slowly...

"Sleep sweetly babe."

0o0o0o0o0o

Sarah slowly opened her eyes.

Where was she?

She rubbed her eyes and lifted herself up on one arm. It took her quite a long time to finely take in her surroundings and realize where she was.

Her bedroom.

She gulped as she remembered what had happened last night. Jon, in only a dressing gown, champagne with some sort of drug in it. She felt anger rise in her chest and she jumped out of bed quickly. She swore viciously when her head throbbed. she held her head and looked down to the floor for a minute. after a moment she moved again, grabbed her rode from behind the door and walked into her living room. all evidence from last night was gone and she began to wonder if it had even happened at all.

She shivered and pulled the robe around herself tighter. It was so cold.

She slowly walked into the kitchen. On the table was a Starbucks cup of coffee and she smiled, relief filling her heart. How stupid of her. nothing had happened between them last night. he would never take advantage of her like that. It was the champagne. messing with her head again. bloody alcohol. She sighed and sat down on one of the chairs. she took a sip of her coffee, and smiled when she saw it was black. How sweet of him. he knew she would have a hang over after that. she felt slightly embarrassed as she thought about what had happened. They'd been probably having a nice time, but she just had to go pass out didn't she. God she had to give up on the drinking thing. It was messing with her head. She took another sip when she noticed a note stuck to the fridge. She stood, placing her cup back on the table.

As she walked closer she recognized the writing to be Jons. She smiled. bless him. leaving her a morning note. She pulled it off the fridge and sat at the table again. she smiled and then read the letter.

'SARAH

Well, what can I say, your a hard egg to crack.

but we got there in the end eh?

Anyway, I know this is all a bit sudden

but last night as you lay unconscious in your bed,

I realized this wasn't the life for me.

Sarah. your very attractive, and a great person.

but lets face it, you've got problems.

if you weren't so difficult to live with

maybe I would stay. But lets face it babe, your not

perfect. And to be honest, I don't love you anymore.

I'm going to meet this girl I am working with today,

she's really hot and unlike some,

she ain't tied down with kids.

Wish me luck.

Bye. Jon.

P.S. Brought you a black coffee, figured you

might need it, if you wake up with the

headache you I think you'll have.'

Sarah's heart thumped hard in her chest as she read and re-read the latter. Tears uncontrollably fell down her face.

"No...No!" She screamed and tore the letter into pieces and threw it onto the floor, she screamed and sobbed black tears making there way down her face. She felt her heart beat so hard she felt like she might burst. She had loved him. she hadn't thought she had when he was with her, but now he was gone she realized her feelings had been stronger then she'd first thought.

He didn't love her. All the stuff he had said to her had been a act. All a bloody act! all he has wanted her for was his own pleasure, and now that he had had her. (So she thought) he didn't want her anymore. he had thrown her away like a old doll, with no care for her feelings or how she felt about him. Sarah felt her knees weaken and she had to lay on the floor, tears still leaving her green eyes. she sobbed for what felt like hours.

What a fool she'd been. Why hadn't she seen it coming? he was a bad egg. she had always known it. So why hadn't she seen it coming? she had been so blind.

o0o0o0o0o

Sarah lay un-moving in the bath. her eyes were swollen and red from crying. black tear streaks on her cheeks left over from her tears. She pulled the bottle she held so tightly in her hand, back to her mouth and drank down her last mouthful of vodka. she threw the empty bottle to the floor. not caring if it smashed to pieces on the floor like her heart had seven hours earlier. She was drunk, and she was broken. all she could think about was him. he had lied to her. tricked her. probably drugged her. made her think that he had loved her when all he wanted was her body, and to break her heart. What a complete prick! what a arsehole! And to think she might have given herself to this idiot.

Fresh tears made their way down her face again and she began to sob again. She was becoming a emotional wreck. just like her real mother Linda had. Sarah suddenly heard a loud noise coming from her living room. 'That has better not be Jon.' she thought to herself. she got out of that bath, how though she knew not. the room was spinning around her. She put on her robe, and then staggered into her living room. Nobody was there. Sarah shivered nervously. she felt so nauseous. she could hear a sound of something, like a door being opened, or someone walking around her.

"Who's there?" She said looking around her. Not that it was much use. she was far to drunk to even see properly.

"Sarah..." Came a ghostly voice.

Sarah gasped as she heard her name being called. "Who's there?!" she said feeling a little alone and afraid, her legs and lips were trembling, and her lips turned white.

"Sarah..." the voice repeated.

Sarah felt her vision blur completely, and she fell down to the floor, and everything around her went black.

"Sarah..."

Sarah felt her eyes closing uncontrollably. "Help..." she whispered
