Chapter 194: Survive - Monet

I cough after I come to, the smell of the damn chloroform still in my nose.

"You motherfucker, you could have killed me." I cough out, seeing James sitting in the corner of the room with a smile on his face.

Maybe that is his plan, and I try to get saliva down my throat by swallowing. One of us is dying today, and it sure won't be me.

I try to get up, but my limbs don't seem to be moving, and I lift my head to look at the smiling psychopath. "What did you do to me? Why can't I move?"

I love science, and I know there isn't a drug that would make me paralyzed while still being able to talk, so whatever this asshole gave me is something I don't know, unless...

"Spinal block." He gets up from the chair in the corner of the room and walks over to the bed I'm lying on, looking down at me with a disturbing smile. How could I ever think he was cute in the first place? He's clearly a very disturbing individual. "I know you had something to do with that video sent to the dean. You just had to go and crash my party, didn't you?"

A spinal block? Fear rushes through me at once. What does he know about administering a spinal block? I might end up paralyzed for life. Oh my God.

"Is that why you're doing this to me?" Tears run out of the corners of my eyes. "Because of that video?"

"And because you left me." He puts a knee on the bed, and even though I can't move my limbs, disgust rolls through my stomach.

"I was never yours to leave." I can't help but say, knowing I'm probbaly making things worse here. I should try to play along, or do something so that he doesn't hurt me even more. I want to get out of here, wherever here is. I want to survive, I want to be with Cole.

James kisses my lips, and I refrain from biting him, but the Lord knows if he tries something else, I will be fucking fighting back in any way I can. I will bite him so hard, he wil regret kidnapping me. My body may be paralyzed, but my mouth is still working, and I won't hesitate to use it. He should've just kept me unconscious. I have to get out of here, but how?

Does Cole even know that I'm missisng?

More tears run down my face. This is not going to end well for me. The life I planned, the life with Cole, is slipping through my fingers every single second I'm with James.

"But now you are mine, are you not?" He laughs in my face. "I can do whatever the hell I want with you. Your brother will be crying when he finds out you're gone. I thought I was special, that you really liked me, but you went and slept with your brother. I knew then you were just as naughty as me and I think we will enjoy each other very much."

If I'm going to end up raped and dead, I will tell him every single thing that is wrong with him, the fear in me mixing with the anger. I lift my neck and spit into his face, smiling when his reaction is one of disgust.

I know I've gone and done it now when his cheeks turn pink and a violent look enters his eyes that I've never seen in him before. I already shut my eyes when he pulls his hand back and slaps me so hard, all I hear is ringing in my ears.

I don't want to suffer, that one thing is true, but the longer I stay alive, the bigger my chances of them finding me. I can do this. If Cole could do it when he was just a little boy, then I can do it too.

I have to stop antagonizing him, even if it goes against every fibre of my being.

"I'm sorry." I make my voice soft, gentling the tone. "I'm just so mad that you kidnapped me, you could've just asked me out on a date,"

He narrows his eyes at me, confused at the sudden change in my attitude. "You and Cole are together, and I'm fucking kicked off the team because of you. Chrystal didn't even know what I was doing to her, but you had to be nosy. She even liked it when we fucked."

I want to scream at him that unknowingly giving someone sleeping pills and having sex with her while she's in a deep sleep cannot be consent.

"My whole future is down the drain, while you and Cole were just going on with your lives, being happy and shit." Anger enters his eyes again. "I was gonna go pro, but now there won't be a team that would even look my way!"

"I'm so sorry." My cheek is stinging, and I'm probably going to have a huge bruise from the impact of his hand, but I have to survive. "I can talk to Chrystal, she trusts me, maybe she could go to the dean and tell him that she consented to the sleeping pills."

"Yeah, that girl would trust anyone." James sneers. "I let one of my buddies fuck her, and she doesn't even know. I gave her two sleeping pills when we were together over Thanksgiving, and I watched while he fucked her the whole night. The next day she woke up disoriented and sore, and I told her we had a rough night. Guess what, she believed me."

Bile rises up in my throat. Poor Chrystal. I remember that is when she first thought something was wrong with her, and we went to the hospital to get some blood tests. James is even more twisted than what I thought.

"I even made a video, do you want to see?"

I really don't, the first video I saw still in the back of my mind, but I don't say anything, survival the only thing on my mind now.

He plops down on the bed next to me, smiling excitedly as he scrolls through his phone and plays the video in my face. It takes everything in me not to close my eyes as James laughs off screen in the video while a guy I don't know bends Chrystal's body in awkward positions while he's hammering into her, all the while she's unconscious.

"Oh, that is just making me horny now." I screw my eyes shut when his hand lands on the waistband of my jeans. "Now it's your turn to get fucked, and pay for what you did to me."
