She started to wake up and could feel she was moving. She was in a car. She could hear their voices.
"I am not mad. I am furiated. You saw what that fucker did to her," Dean raged.
"We saw," Roman sighed.
"Burn marks on her shoulders. I'm gonna kill him," Dean growled.
How did he know about the burn marks?
"Not to mention the bruises," Seth added.
How did they know?
She reached up and felt her shoulder. She wasn't in a bathrobe anymore. She was wearing normal clothes. She tried opening her eyes but couldn't. She was blindfolded. She reached up to remove it but was stopped by a hand on her wrist.
"Don't do that, baby girl, unless you want me to restrain you too," Roman said in a calm voice.
"She's awake?" Seth asked.
She dropped her hand.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked.
"You're not supposed to know. That's kind of the idea with the blindfold. We can't have you running back to him," Roman answered.
"What makes you think I would do that?" She asked.
"It's us, baby girl. We know you. When you get scared, you tend to make stupid decisions," he answered.
They took a turn and it was clear they were no longer on a paved road the way the car started to shake.
"You can take the blindfold off now," Roman said.
She reached up and took it off. She blinked her eyes a couple of times till her vision was clear again. They were driving inside a forest. They drove in silence for a while until a large cabin suddenly apperared.
"What is this place?" She asked.
"It's been in my family for decades. No one ever comes out here so I figured we'd be safe here," Roman answered.
Seth parked the car and they all exited it. Dean opened the trunk and started taking out bags.
"Did you guys actually plan for this?" She asked as she saw all the bags.
"Of course. We needed to get you away from him and we knew you would never come on your own free will. Sorry about that, by the way," Dean said.
"You drugged me?" She asked, not willing to believe it.
"Yeah, that was me," Seth said.
"You fucking drugged me," she mumbled, starting to feel angry.
"Yell at us later and make us pay in any way you want but first, let's get inside and get settled," Roman said.
They all walked up to the cabin. Roman unlocked the door and they went inside.
"Bathroom and bedrooms are upstairs. Take first pick on which room you want," Roman said to her.
They all walked upstairs. She couldn't care less what room she was in so she just opened the first door and walked inside without looking around. Dean walked behind her and put her bag on the bed before going back out to find a room on his own.
She took a quick look around and sighed. She knew why they had taken her here and she knew she was suppose to be thankful but it was all so wrong. They had taken her against her will and she was scared. Not scared of them. Scared of what might happen once Kenny found her. And he would find her. He always did.
"Wanna come downstairs?" Seth's voice sounded.
She turned around and looked at him standing in the doorway.
"Got anything to drink?" She asked.
"Of course. I always got your back, babe," he said and chuckled.
They walked downstairs. Dean and Roman followed shortly after. Seth opened a bottle of champagne and handed it to her. For a while she just sat on a chair drinking some of it. None of them spoke at first. It was an awkward situation.
"What exactly is your plan?" She finally asked.
"We don't really have one. We just needed to get you away from him," Dean answered.
She shook her head.
"Never in a million years would I have thought you were that stupid," she said and sighed.
"We just saved your ass and you call us stupid. Thanks a lot," Seth said.
"Do you know who Kenny is and what he does?" She asked.
They all shook their heads.
"He's high up in the underworld. He sells weapons and drugs. I thought you got the hint yesterday with the row of men following him," she said.
None of them said anything so she continued.
"No one crosses him without paying for it. Well, you just crossed him and you made me cross him as well. We're all gonna pay for it," she said.
"We'll protect you," Seth said.
"Yeah, I'd like to see that happen," she chuckled although there was nothing funny about the situation.
She drank some more before opening her mouth again.
"You can't go back home," she said.
"Why not?" Dean asked.
"He knows who you are. He's gonna come knocking down your doors now that I'm gone. He's not that stupid that he'll think I disappeared on my own," she answered.
"How does he know who we are?" Dean asked.
"Oh, come on! You saw my body when you dressed me. I heard you talking about it in the car. I might be able to take some pain but eventually we all have a breaking point. He knows your names. Sorry about that," she said and emptied the bottle.
Roman got up from the couch to walk over to her but she raised her hands to stop him.
"Not in the mood for that, Roman," she said.
"I just wanna give you a hug and hold you close," he said.
"I know what you want and I'm not in the mood. You always get the tears out of me way too easy with your soft words and big arms. I can't handle that right now," she said truthfully.
He sat down again.
"Alright, let's talk about something else," Seth said.
"Yeah, let's do that," she said.
"I'm still dying to know why you left me back then," Dean said.
"Why didn't you ask me back then? You didn't seem to care the next day. You came up and talked to me the way you always did and you all still let me hang out with you," she said.
"Part of our gentleman agreement," Roman said.
"So spit it out, pumpkin. You broke our hearts one by one and we let you. I think you owe us something," Dean said.
"Fine. With my slutty rumour and you three always being around me, people were already talking about me getting it on with all three of you night after night so I decided to lay low," she said.
She looked over the table and caught Dean's eyes.
"And then you swooped in all of the sudden. I remember how you cornered me in the kitchen at a party and suddenly kissed me," she said.
"I remember that night too. I remember thinking it was now or never," Dean said and smiled.
"So we dated for some months and you were always crazy and wild. Don't get me wrong, I loved that about you but something was missing. I needed something softer. Or so I told myself. So I broke up with you," she said.
She turned her eyes to Roman.
"And then I laid my eyes on you," she said.
"They don't come more calm than Roman," Seth chuckled.
"I know. So I would always make sure to be by your side whenever we all were together. One day we were alone sitting on a bench waiting for these two to come around and you took my hand and leaned in to kiss me. I don't even recall you saying anything leading up to that point. Suddenly we were just kissing," she said.
"I don't think any words were said between us actually. I just felt like I had to do it right then and there while we were alone," Roman said.
"So we dated for a while and you were always the sweetest man. Too sweet almost. At least that's what I told myself when I decided to dump you. I needed something more fierce," she said.
She turned her eyes to Seth.
"And that leaves you as the last one," she said.
"I feel so special," Seth said sarcastically.
"You let your intentions be known right away once you heard me and Roman were done," she said.
"Why waste any time?" He asked and grinned.
"You pulled me aside next day and told me you wanted me," she said.
"Sorry about that, Roman," he said and chuckled.
"I told you to wait and you told me you'd chase me down till you got me," she said.
"You didn't last long. One week later you were mine," he said.
"You're kind of hard to say no to. Always so pushy and demanding. And I liked that about you. You were raw and rough. You wanted things done your way and you always got what you wanted and at the same time you put me up on a pedestal and treated me like a queen. Everyone knew who I belonged to when we were together," she said.
"Couldn't let anyone try and take you away from me," he said.
"It was too much. I couldn't keep up with your wild pace and your high expectations. I needed to slow things down. At least that was the excuse in my head so I left you," she said.
For a few seconds they sat in silence.
"That was the last you ever spoke to any of us," Roman said.
She nodded.
"We thought we could go on as usual. Hell, we had all dated you and come out on the other side. We kept our pain inside because we loved you. We came to school and you didn't even look at us," Dean said.
"We were expecting to see our happy girl as usual and suddenly from day to day you kept to yourself. You ran away as soon as we were in sight and you didn't speak to anyone the rest of your time in school," Seth said.
"I know. I tried to get you out of my mind. Don't think I didn't know I had hurt you all but you didn't know how I had hurt myself too. It was too hard to be near you," she said.
"Tell us," Seth demanded.
"You said yesterday you all fell in love with me. Well, I fell in love with you too. Not just one of you but all of you. You treated me so good and you made my days worth living. Together you were the perfect man and I wanted you all. I knew I couldn't have you all so I tried settling with one of you at first. When that didn't work I moved on till I had been through all three of you. It didn't work. Stuff like that never works. I told myself that I needed something else all the time but what I really needed was all three of you," she said honestly.
She got up from the chair, too embarrased to meet their eyes, as she turned around to walk upstairs and away from them. Dean was fast at his feet and next to her.
"Don't leave," he said as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Oh Dean, always the first one to try and get to me," she said and laughed into his shirt.
He pulled down her cardigan and exposed her shoulder, leaning in to kiss the burn marks.
"You never left our minds and hearts over the years. We've always been yours," he said between the kisses.
"That is if you still want us," Seth added.
She sighed and pushed out of Dean's arms while pulling the cardigan back up.
"And how exactly is that gonna work? You each get me two days a week and I get time off on Sundays?" She asked sarcastically.
"We didn't actually have a plan," Dean said dumbfounded.
"So typical you, Dean. You always jump into things without thinking them through. Did you even think it through before bringing me here? Or did you actually expect me to spread my legs for all three of you again? Just to see if the slut was still inside me?" She spat out the words.
She was feeling angry but the anger wasn't towards them. It was towards herself. She was angry for telling them the truth, angry for ever starting a relationship with Kenny, angry for putting herself and them in this position, but mostly angry because she still loved them. She wanted nothing more than to throw herself into their arms but she couldn't.
"We never meant to..." Roman started.
"Save it! Do yourself a favour and either drive me back tomorrow or just drive away and leave me here. It will make things easier on all of us," she said.
She turned around and started walking up the stairs.
"We're not leaving you, pumpkin. Fight all you want but we're not going anywhere," Dean called up the stairs before she disappeared into her room.
