Exchanging my life for others
As soon as I had moved away from the door and further into the room I heard the door swing shut, closing me into the room.
I spun around to see a man standing there with a girl in his arms and a gun pointed at her head. She looked scared to death as I would imagine anyone in her shoes would. She wasn't Leandry though but some other girl about the same age and with the same physical features.
Nothing was said by anyone in the room, to say that it was an awkward silence was not needed because we just stood and stared at each other. The man finally decided to break the silence.
"Good afternoon Miss Blake, you really were foolish coming here alone. It seems that you do not learn from your past mistakes."
His gun was still pointed at the girl's head and mine was pointed at him. Neither of us planning on letting the other win this stand-off that we had going on.
"What makes you so sure that I came here alone just because I am alon

"Well, well, well what do we have here?"He uttered the words that I didn't want to hear and that I had warned Jack would happen if he had continued looking at me the way he had when we entered the basement. Now we would be in trouble because he will be using either of us as blackmail material against the other one. "Banging the boss now are we? Did he promise you some big promotion or something if you slept with him or..." He laughed before uttering the rest of the sentence. "Don't tell me that it is actually for love?" The best option here was to just stay quiet and hope that this de-escalates the situation and that I can get everyone out of here safely still as that has always been the goal. I looked over to Jack and thought where had all his training gone because at this moment he was helping the enemy and giving him, even more, ammunition that he could use against us. After quite the awkward silence, he decided that it was probably time to say or do something because he fire
Happiness Takes Time Breaking free
Once I was certain he would not be returning until tomorrow morning as he had promised I started getting to work on my escape plan.The window would have to work for me to squeeze through after I clear the crates and boxes and get it open or broken. I would have to look out and see what is below the window so that if the glass does fall outside it doesn't create too much of a noise to alert him of what I was doing.Retrieving the key from my pocket, I unlocked the cuff and made my way to the window to start removing the blockages in front of it. Most of them were empty so it didn't take as long as I thought it would. This fits into the plan great and meant that I would possibly be out of here sooner than expected if everything else went according to plan.I finally managed to get everything away and a clear path to the window. Now for the moment of truth to see if it would open or if my whole plan would fall apart. I unlatched the window and pu
Happiness Takes Time Safely in his arms again
I woke up with a slight headache. Looking around I was extremely glad to see that I was not in a hospital room but that I was still in Jack's house, on his bed, and in his arms.I did feel that my arm felt heavy and I saw that there was an iv in my arm but other than that I felt fine. When I looked over I saw that Jack was awake and staring at me, I saw that he was smiling and not looking as worried as he had when I had arrived at his door."What exactly happened to me?""Well after you broke my door down, you fainted from blood loss from the large cut on your arm. I took you to the hospital where they gave you the needed stitches, cleaned you up, and said that I could bring you home as long as you finished this drip and the next bag as soon as this one is done. What happened to you and how did you manage to get out of there and away from him?""After he chased you guys out of there he took me down to another secret part of the basement
Happiness Takes Time I'm back baby
After the phone call, I decided that I should probably go and get something to eat before I end up passing out from hunger.I wasn't gone that long, and when I returned to my desk there was a massive bunch of red roses waiting on my desk. I thought they were from Jack and that he wanted to spoil me on my first day back. How wrong was I?When I was finished smelling them I took the card wanting to see what he wrote me. They were not from Jack but from John. I didn't know how because he was sent to maximum security and from there you have no contact with the outside world unless he was moved again without my knowledge. Maybe he had someone send them to try and mess with my head and have me panic and looking over my shoulder because he was back again.Either way, I took the card and ran to Jack's office to get his advice and also hide away until the tears of fear have disappeared from my system.I entered the office before I started crying,
Happiness Takes Time Jealousy
Turning around I see Jack standing there looking worried. I smiled sadly at him and started walking into his arms while thinking what was the correct way to handle the situation at hand."Is it wrong that I'm jealous because my dad found someone he can love and be happy with and that someone isn't now only me anymore?"He took me into the hug and after a while, he pushed me away a little so that he could look into my eyes."You and your dad were alone in the world for quite some time. He has been through a lot and he does deserve the happiness of having someone to love him in a way that his daughter can't. I feel jealous that you have such a wonderful and close connection and relationship with your dad as you do but I am sorry you are only mine for the coming future."I smiled before going on my tiptoes to kiss him. I loved that he was always able to help me out with some knowledge as an outsider to the situation and that he wasn't deadl
Happiness Takes Time The day of their arrival
Looking up Nicolene didn't take too long and I was happy enough with what I found or rather the lack of things that I found. She seemed to be clean.They were set to arrive any moment now and Jack and I were standing outside waiting for them to come. I don't know if I was ready for the shit storm that was coming but I had no choice but to face it head-on. At least I have Jack next to me so I would not be totally alone facing my dad. I saw dad's car turn into the driveway slowly, while he was taking his time looking around before coming to stop where we were standing. I put on one of my best fake smiles and I was hoping that it looked good enough. They got out of the car, my dad not looking too happy with Jack standing as close to me as he was.Nicolene trying to keep the peace came over to us first and introduced herself. I gave her a hug when she initiated it and we started talking soon after that. She was really nice and exactly the woman I
Happiness Takes Time Enemy or ally
I felt that I was being dragged down a corridor. I didn't want to open my eyes in fear of alerting the person dragging or pulling me from behind from the force on my hair. I didn't know how long my hair would be able to handle the force of pulling my entire weight.Not long after we stopped and I heard a door opening and closing again after I was dragged inside the room, my hands were tied together behind my back and a rag was duck taped over my mouth before I was pushed more into the room with a foot that connected with my stomach.It felt like hours before I heard someone coming, the door opening and feet stopping right before my face. I only had my eyes open a slither and when he began bending down I closed my eyes fully again not wanting to alert them that I was awake as of yet.I felt the gag being removed and the person tap me on the shoulder. I didn't want to open my eyes so I just ignored it because I didn't know if it was a ploy to get
Happiness Takes Time Mommy dearest
Waking up I felt myself wondering whether I was dead or if this was the place where you went when you are in between realms or where you are experiencing your own personal hell before you woke up to the hell that was taking place to you in the real world.Random thoughts were going through my head and I didn't know what was real and what were made-up scenarios of my own mind. I heard voices but I didn't know who it was or what they were saying. I tried opening my eyes to see the people talking to me so I could maybe try and put a face to the voices I keep on hearing but my eyelids felt as if they were made from steel and I just couldn't get them to open up.After trying to open my eyes for a while I was so tired and I felt myself drifting back into the black hole.I woke up in a hospital room when I finally was able to open my eyelids. I really hate hospitals. Looking around I saw that Jack was sitting by my side. He looked really
