Author Note: Like I said I am extremely busy with being at the Hospital all the time for my boyfriend's mom so I am not able to update with very lengthy chapters. Since an anonymous reviewer has told me I should have warned people that it was going to be a rape story (not sure why because I do not like to give away my plot) but I will tell you that there is somewhat of a graphic "scene" in this chapter. Hope you all enjoy! I will not be updating tomorrow as it is my bday :) So I will be out celebrating, Yay lol. Have a great night, and do not forget to follow and review!

Chapter Four: Ghosts

My words lingered in the air in front of me; "Stop him!" They buzzed in my ears and bounced around inside my mind. What did I mean stop him? Stop Christian, or stop Jack Hyde. Letting Christian go kill Jack Hyde would stop him from ever hurting any woman again, but would also mean I would lose Christian. My mind spun with all the emotions that I couldn't quite comprehend. I had been too scared to stop Jack Hyde, I had been too embarrassed to go forward to the police, and now Christian was going to stop him.

The scene from that dreadful day played inside my mind although I tried to black it out from my memory. Kate was running towards me grabbing me from falling to the floor, and screaming my name. "Ana!" I couldn't hear her; I was only able to see her mouth moving. Instead I could hear my screams and Jack Hyde's voice playing over and over. "Be quiet, I promise you will like it." I remember the smell of his sweaty palm over my mouth and the look in his eyes as he took over my body, leaving me helpless. I had froze and forgot how to fight when I needed it the most. The taste of his hand on my lips is burned in my mind, and so is the name I called over and over and realized he was not coming. He wasn't coming because I had walked away. "Christian!"

I must have eventually blacked out. I woke up to Kate stroking my face and wiping away my tears that had fallen down past my chin and left my hair stuck to my cheeks. She was there for me, why hadn't I turned to her earlier; why did I have to let myself fall and break into so many pieces before allowing her to help? I was so selfish, allowing myself to wallow in my own misery and not even think about my friends, or the women Jack Hyde could and would hurt after me.

Kate was on the phone cursing and swearing, speaking to Elliot I assumed, " Where are you?" She was scared, but so angry. "Come back here now, she needs you!" Oh, she isn't talking to Elliot, must be Christian. I turn my head to see that Elliot is actually here, sitting on the couch with his head down and turned away from us.

"Kate, where is Christian?" I am scared to ask; why has Elliot come back but he has not. I don't know if I want to know the answer for fear that he is dead or in jail.

"He beat up Jack Hyde pretty good; luckily Jack is not pressing charges..." She trailed off, which I assumed meant she did was hiding something from me.

"Kate where is he?" I asked, my voice wavering on the verge of tears once again. I had cried so much in the past day that my eyes were swollen and red.

"He wouldn't tell us Ana, he just left..." This time Elliot chimed in, his face looked sorry that he had to tell me this news. " He said he had to talk to someone, and apparently he needed to do it now...he was pretty angry."

My mind reeled through possible scenarios as I jumped to my feet and tried to figure out what my next move would be. Was he with an ex sub, was he with Mrs. Robinson? Either of these situations would break my heart; or was it that he just did not want to see me again. Maybe Christian couldn't love me anymore, I'm just too broken.
