( As normal read, enjoy, review. OK next to the last chapter.)

Punk was sitting on a love seat in what looked like a small studio apartment minus the kitchen. He was reading one of the comic books his family brought for him on one of their few visits. It was agreed more of less that they would give him the space & time he needed, just as long as he knew they were there if he needed it. Hearing a knock on the door he got up opening the door & a flood of nerves rushed his system when he was face to face with Orton. He knew he was coming, but it didn't change how he felt.

"Hey, come on in." He moved to the side letting Randy walk past him & he shut the door.
"Nice digs considering?"
"Yeah, thanks. They always have me monitored though…still gives me the creeps."
"I can imagine."
"I know we both agreed to this for one big reason."
"Yeah we need to clear the air about what happened to Jade." Randy said trying to keep his cool "You are the only one beside herself &…him that knows what happened."
"Well also Dillia…I was told that she has actually been helpful leading them to where we were kept in Pennsylvania." Punk walked past Randy grabbing a chair turning it to sit towards the loveseat. "You might as well take a seat, this is going to take a while. I'll tell you what I can. I don't want to lie to you, so letting you know now you may not like some of what I may say. But for my own recovery I was strongly advised not to hold anything back from you."

Randy looked at him thinking over his words & realized no matter how much it may hurt to hear some of what he knows or suspected in the end it would be better then being lied to. He walked over sitting on the love seat. "Who first?"

"You please…I haven't been told anything over the last month. Last I knew she was still in the hospital."
"No, she is in a care facility in Connecticut. She still hasn't fully woken up. She will move in these sleep like trances, even mumbles. Her eyes haven't opened from what we know. Her bruises for the most part are gone, some deeper like to her abdomen are faded but still visible. Also where he cut her has scared, likely minimal but there none the less."

Punk gulped closing his eyes. "He cut her?"
"Yes quite a few times. Enough to cause pain, but not enough that she would bleed enough to kill her."
Punk shook his head before opening his eyes. "Randy I wish I could of stopped him, he had me chained in a different room once we reached Florida. I couldn't see what he did, but I heard a lot of it. I can still hear her at times."
"As can I." He saw the puzzled look cross punks eyes. "He made her call me phone the day of Mania, forced me to listen while he attacked her again. It was so bad I thought I heard him actually kill her."

Punk leaned forward placing his arms on his legs folding his hands. "I can't saw sorry enough for not being able to help her Randy, I also can't say sorry for what I am sure the other reason you came to see me is."
"To find out what happened between the two of you in that place." Randy said almost matter of fact.
"Yes." Punk slowly sat upright again. "The night…" He took a deep breath "The night…Ka…" Punk gritted his teeth. "Damn it I can't even say his name."
"It's ok you can just say him or he, I got in the habit of not saying it around Jade in case she can hear me."

Punk nodded before he continued "The night he brought Jade to where he had me, he made it clear he was planning at some point for me to assault her…not because I wanted to, but because of one of the drugs he had been giving me." Punk lowered his head shaking his head taking a deep breath. "He was…conditioning me over those months by using a drug that raises sexual desires to the point it would hurt if I didn't accomplish some sort of release. It was something he mixed in with the food he was giving me. I never knew what days it would be. Hell after a wile I didn't know when one day became the next anyways because he kept me knocked out a lot on something else." He lifts his head again "Sorry side tracked a moment, but yeah he made it clear what he was planning. Randy I know you don't want to hear it, but I am still attracted to Jade. Who knows if that will ever change. I screwed up big because even before he feed me that shit I had a weakness for women & Jade back then couldn't provide what I wanted. I can't take that back. What might make you happy though, is while she said once we were free she may welcome my friendship there would be nothing else between us on her end of things."

"He sent me a letter stating she tried to fight, but gave up in the end that she was pleading with you. So you actually assaulted her?"
"No…He must of talked about the first time. We didn't know the drug had a lingering affect on me that was triggered by being in close proximity with her for that long. Before she showed up he had another woman in the room with me only when it was time for me to eat or to give me more shots. Since of course the reaction was stronger right after I ate it…My mind was so fucked up I don't even remember much of what I did to that girl. Jade…well Jade I knew. We both knew what he was hoping to accomplish & said about having no clue how she would react if she ate the tainted food…we, ok more so I came up with a plan. I told her it while it looked like I was already trying to go after her so hopefully he wouldn't hear it."

Punk got up stretching his leg before getting a bottle of water in the room. "Yes I talked her into sleeping with me, but her begging & screaming at the time was all an act. We worked out a safety if she felt I was getting out of hand with the act." He looked down before taking another swig of the water. "Now in hindsight I found out part of it was the drug in me pushing me to do it. I am glad I didn't push her to the point of using our safety because I wonder if I would of listened or accidentally turned it into an actual assault. Once he informed us about the wonderful lasting effects of that stuff she tried to keep away from me for quite a few days since neither one of us knew if I could be trusted. The problem was she was still close enough to build that urge in me."

He moved back to his seat setting the bottle on the table. "It got to a point that I had to…" Punk look uncomfortable but he was advised not to hold anything back. "Relieve myself, but she was still on my mind being so close I couldn't help but use her as my fantasy being reduced to doing that. We got to a point that if I was asleep she would come near me. It was working for a few days. She even got me to focus to use mediations to try to get them more under control even if not fully. Also used it to keep myself calm when I was going through withdraw. He told her it was her job to give me the shots. She refused to subject my body to them anymore if she could help it, even after he told her it was the pain of the withdraw that made me break into tell him what he wanted to know about her."

"Hold on…what was he trying to find out about her?" Randy finally spoke being quite all this time.
"He wanted to know what dark secrets did she have, what was she scared of. I told him about her being assaulted before…I didn't say who…just that it happened…that is why I cheated on her. I don't know if that changed his plan or not. I am sorry I told him, I couldn't help it at the time. So yeah he said she had to give me any shot from there on out & if not the pain it caused me would be on her. She helped me push through it. There was a problem though once he realized we worked out a system." Punk grabbed his water taking another sip.

"When he saw we had a system to keep her safe from my urges for the drug he had it slipped back into the food. She had a very bad reaction to it…a bad allergic response." Punk lowered his head his shoulders slum a little still remembering it. "She started to suffocate & I felt helpless, luckily Dillia came in & did something to stop the reaction. Once she was breathing better I moved her to the bed to sleep it off as the treatment to stop it made her drowsy."

Punk lifted his eyes towards Randy "I was not expecting that stuff to have the effect he wanted it to have on her after her body got over the shock of almost suffocating. She was in so much pain because her body was betraying her with it's desires. So yes I slept with her again…it was a need more then a want on her part. No mater what he may of told you or shown you that happened between me & Jade, She loved you. She made sure to tell me she loves you & could never be back with me more then a friend. Even though it wasn't her fault she kept hoping you would forgive her once you gave her a chance to tell you."

Punk watched as Randy lowered his head into his hands. "I forgave her the moment I saw her in the hospital." his voice slightly choked up. "The pain I knew he put you two through I figured the sex was a…pleasurable outlet to temper the pain he was causing. I never suspected that it was in a way part of the torture itself. To think there is a drug that could force the body to do that."

He lifted his head looking at Punk. "I am sorry for what he put you through, you were just a pawn in his twisted game against me. I am sorry."
"I don't blame you, I don't blame Jade, I blame him."
"Thank you."
"Just please keep me up to date when she improves."
"I will, any word when you may be out of here?"
"Maybe two more months, sadly I get around women for any good amount of time I have had a couple…relapse. We need to make sure that won't happen once I leave this place. Before you ask I don't know if I'll be coming back to work. Just the thought of walking through one of the lots alone…"
"Well remember you can ask for help if you need it. No one will think less of you because of it."
"Thanks Randy."

Randy nodded before standing. "I should get going, maybe I'll stop in again see how it goes."
"I actually might like that." Punk stand up with him walking Randy to the door. Neither one was sure why or who actually initiated the action but the two exchanged a hug before Randy walked out. After he left each man felt a lot of the air was cleared between them but for how long?

The End?

(OK so what you all think please don't be shy. I leave it with a question mark because at some point I may continue with a squeal)
