Chapter 61
Shane clumsily opened the bedroom door, and then gently laid Jessica down on the bed. Climbing onto the bed, he kissed her again, his hands roaming her body.
"I love you." He told her before going for another kiss. Oblivious to the fear in her eyes, Shane reached for the zipper on her dress but found himself having a difficult time getting his hands to move as he wanted. With his vision blurring he attempted again. Noticing his fumbling, Jessica felt a surge f hope. It was starting to work, she thought. She just needed to hold him off a few more minutes.
"Let me," She got off the bed and started to pull the zipper but then stopped.
"What's wrong?" He asked her sitting up.
"I'm sorry. I have to use the bathroom. Why don't you get ready and I'll be right back." She gave him a kiss before heading down to the bathroom. There she took her time and waited. After letting the minutes pass, she opened the door slowly, straining to hear if there were any sounds coming from upstairs. Thinking the coast was clear, she stepped out of the bathroom and was surprised to find Shane waiting on the steps outside wearing nothing but his boxers.
"I think you're trying to avoid me." He told her his speech slurring tremendously.
"No not at all. I just think I drank too much." She said. He looked at her suspiciously before taking her back upstairs. He stumbled losing his footing and almost falling into the bedroom, but recovered.
"I'm sorry." He told her rubbing his hands down her arms. "I think I drank too much also." Finally he managed to unzip her dress. After the garment fell to the floor, he lowered her onto the bed and pressed his body on top of her.
"Don't." She pleaded.
"Why?"
"Not like this. We're both too drunk. It won't be special. Let's just wait until tomorrow." He ignored her, kissing her neck. Jessica knew she could no longer wait. With all her strength she pushed Shane off of her and tried to get off the bed.
"What are you doing?" He asked grabbing her arm with such force that she swore he pulled it out of its socket. Furious, Shane reached for the handcuffs that were in the nightstand and tried to secure them on her. But his movements were to slow and Jessica kicked both of her legs into his stomach causing him to fall back on to the bed. With quick thinking, she grabbed the handcuffs and locked one around his wrist. After a lot of struggling, she was finally able to close the other cuff around one of the posts on the bed.
"Jessica, let me out of here!" He pulled on the handcuffs as she grabbed his pants and pulled the keys out of the pocket. She threw on his shirt that was lying on the floor before running out of the room towards the front door.
"Get back here! Don't make me come after you!" She heard him yell as she fumbled with the keys. She could tell by all the banging going on that Shane was trying to escape. She put a key in the lock but it didn't turn. She cursed as she kept trying key after key. Finally on the fifth key the door opened and she took off for the car.
The rush of fresh air reenergized her as she quickly unlocked the car door. She managed to get one foot in the car before Jessica felt someone grab the back of her shirt, throwing her roughly to the ground. She looked up and saw an angry Shane standing at her feet.
"Where do you think you're going?" He demanded. She struggled to get to her feet but Shane pushed her back down again. "Did you think you could get away?" Grabbing her arm, he pulled her back up and forced her against the car. Pressing her front against the vehicle he grabbed one of her arms and she felt the handcuffs go around the first wrist.
"You're going to be sorry you did this." He whispered into her ear. "I won't let you leave me. You're mine."
As he reached for her other arm, Jessica slammed the back of her head into him, head butting him in the face. Shane released her and grabbed his nose, giving her a chance to get into the car. She quickly slammed the door shut locking it. It was only then that she realized she didn't have the keys anymore. She looked around the seat and the floor but they weren't there. She must have dropped it when Shane had grabbed her.
"Get out of the car!" Shane screamed at her banging on the window.
"Please, they have to be here." She said and rechecked the car. Shane watched her and figured out that she didn't have the keys on her. He started to look around the ground trying to locate where they had fallen. Jessica looked down frustrated and saw Shane cell phone. She turned it on and checked for Shane. He was on his hands and knees feeling around the ground. Without him looking, she dialed 911.
"Pick up, pick up!" She yelled into the phone.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"Help me!" She pleaded. "He's right outside the car!"
"Mam, where are you?"
"I don't know. I was kidnapped." She said into the franticly. "Just help me!"
"Where is he now?" Jessica looked out the window but Shane was gone.
"He's not…" She turned as she heard the door unlock on the passenger side. She quickly pushed the phone under the seat as Shane opened the door.
"Get away from me!" She shouted kicking her legs at him as she pressed against the opposite door. Shane just gave her an eerie glare before reaching into the glove compartment and pulling out the gun. Jessica froze.
"Where did you get a gun?"
"Get out of the car now!" He ordered. Jessica stared at the barrel pointed at her and knew she had no choice. She nodded and slowly made her way out. When she was close enough, he reached for her and yanked her body the rest of the way out. Standing in front of him, she could fully see the rage in his face.
"Shane, I…" She never had a chance to finish as he cracked the handle of the gun against her head and she dropped to the ground. He shut the car door before picking up her motionless body and carried her back into the house.
