Peeling Back The Layers
Chapter 6
Rachel cried for a little while longer then just laid in Jesse's arms trying to wrap her mind around everything that had happened. Her mind kept going in one continuous loop and her thoughts were running wild. Jesse was back and she was in his arms and for the first time in a long time she felt safe and protected. Rachel turned and looked at Jesse in what you saw gave her the strength to confront the event that she was trying so hard to forget.
Rachel took a deep breath and snuggled into Jesse's side deeper before speaking.
"I was on my way to see Wicked but when I entered the subway I felt like someone was following me I looked back but didn't see anyone so I went on my way thinking it was my mind playing tricks on me."
Jesse could feel her start to tense up so he began rubbing her back in slow circles.
"Shhh baby it's okay to take your time I'm not going anywhere."
Rachel started to regain her composure and began to talk again.
"I was on the subway stairs and didn't look behind me and I guess there was someone following me I remember him coming up behind me and grabbing me around the waist and pulling me down the stairs and putting a cloth soaked in something that had the power to make me unconscious."
Jessie was trying to process the information that he was just head and stem the anger that was inside him and protect Rachel at the same time.
"The next thing I remember was waking up in a play ground and seeing blood dripping down my legs and screaming . I stayed on the ground and after a while I got up enough strength to get up and slowly walk back to my hotel room and when I got there I just collapsed on the bed and sobbed.
After Rachel's confession of the events she broke down completely and just let Jesse be her protector.
