To Have And To Hold

Please Uncle Will

Chapter 2:

"I love a good plot twist" Asher hugged me

tightly "What exactly did she say when you

called her?"

"Well, I sent I text message first, and then she

called" I tucked my hair behind my ear "I also

sent her a picture of my face"

"Nothing beats blood and tears, nothing" Asher

stared at me blankly, he took a deep breath "I

don't know how I feel right now, I'm happy

you're leaving and at the same time, I'm scared

I'll never see you again"

"I wish I have your fears, while you're scared

about not seeing me again, I'm scared Aunty

Mj would catch me"

"Shhhh" Asher placed his index finger over my

lips "Let's be positive here! She won't, she can't,

you're too fast for her" he raised my chin

"You've got this"

"Thank you so much Asher, this means so

much to me, and I'll never forget you I promise"

I can't believe I feel like crying

"You better not" We burst into laughter. "Now

run me over your plan again"

"Well, I've told the manager that I won't be

returning, so that's done, I think I'm just going

to wait here for another hour to be sure they've

all left the house so I can get my bags and

zoom" I made a sound with my mouth, I was

sure he understood me.

"Well, you've resigned, but I'm still on duty" he

rearranged his apron "Good luck Nora, I'll miss

you" He pulled me in for another hug and after

what felt like an hour and slowly let go.

I knew I was going to miss him, he would

remain my best friend forever, even though we

had known each other for only two years. "Hey

Asher!"

He turned around, his eyes obviously teary

"Tell Peter you like him!"

"Don't tell me what to do" he threw one hand on

his waistline, and wiped the stroke of liquid on

his left eye with his other finger "Now go!" I

couldn't understand the look on his face, I

couldn't tell if he was happy or sad.

I just waved him goodbye and slowly walked away.

One part of me wanted to stay, but another part

of me wanted to live.

At Aunty Mary Jane's house.

It took me exactly two hours to get all my

personal belongings to fit into the bag I was

carrying.

I wanted to pack light, I haven't been to New

York before, and I haven't been on a train

before, my parents always booked flights, and

I didn't know the luggage system, so I thought

it best to pack light.

My bag was ready, and I was ready, ready to go

and be free from the shackles of torture, but

my heart sank when my door opened

"Woah, what's going on here?"

"Ermm.....ermmm.... I'm...I just" I couldn't

think of anything.

In that moment I was ready to jump out the

window, I'd rather die like that than any

other means involving Aunty Mary Jane

"Talk to me Nora, what's this about?" Uncle Will

asked again, but this time his voice was

calmer

So calm I stopped panicking for a second

"Uncle Will...." What could possibly go wrong?

"I'm leaving" I spat out my words courageously

"I can't stand the torments anymore, Anuty Mj

would kill me if I remained here, so I'm doing

what I think is best for me"

It wasn't his silence that scared me, I was

waiting for him to say something though,

anything, but he just took a step back and

locked the door, and then I got frantic again.

"What's going on Uncle Will," I said in a panic

He came closer and sat on the bed, he patted

the space close to him, gesturing for me to sit

beside him.

I relaxed my self a bit and sat close to him,

what's the worst that could happen?

"You know, I admire your strength" he placed

his hands over my shoulders before continuing

"My wife hasn't been the best, but you've

stayed and endured" he moved closer and

covered the tiny space between us. I could feel

my heartbeat slowly increase

"Uncle will, please promise you won't tell her, at

least not today" I looked straight into Uncle Will's eyes

He slowly entangled my fingers between his, and I got confused and afraid

"You know I like you Nora" There wasn't a bit of

shame in his face, he said what he said with

complete boldness, and authority, having me

already suppressed by his might

I tried to struggle out of his grip, but I couldn't

"Shhhhh, stop panicking" he brought his lips

closer to mine "I've always thought of what

your breast would feel like, I've waited for this

day since I first saw you"

"Please stop Uncle Will, please stop! You're

hurting my fingers" A streak of tears rolled

down my cheeks, I was sure of what I felt now,

fear!

I cried, but not too loudly, I struggled with all

my strength, but I couldn't be compared to his

strength. Within another second he threw me

onto the middle of the bed and entrapped my

legs between his thighs

"Let's make this easy, we have s*x, I give you

some money and you go to my second house"

he struggled to unbuckle his belt

"I promise to divorce your aunty and marry you,

let's just do this now, look at me, I'm so hard

right now let's just" he stopped talking and

started kissing from my toes upward

"Stoppp! Stop you beast! Stop" I screamed at

the top of my voice.

I wanted to let out another cry when I got

chocked by my own voice and I felt a bitter

stinging sensation from my face, he slapped

me.

"You're really a b***h" He dragged my neck

closer to his face and began kissing me from

my neck down.

"Let's do this the easy way, shut up!"

I tried to scream, I tried to push him, but he

was too strong.

He pinned me down and yanked my breast out

of my top.

It wasn't the slippery feeling of his saliva on my

breasts that triggered my adrenaline, neither

was the disgusting sight of his manhood,

standing erect over my stomach, it was the

feeling on his fat fingers violently lobbed into

vagina.

My anger was fueled by disgust. With all

my strength I pushed him away from me and

jumped out of the bed, half naked with saliva

dripping down my neck.

I was in survival mode, I quickly unplugged the

lamp and threw it to him, not minding if I hit

him or not, all I wanted to do was run.

"Stop there you little b***h!" I heard his voice

behind me, but I didn't dare stop or look back.

I ran as fast as my legs could take me down

the stirs but when I got to the front door it was

locked.

"How far did you run?" Uncle Will laughed,

standing across the room.

He was stark naked, and there was blood

following from his shoulders, if anything, I

knew that sight alone was going to traumatize

me for the rest of my life.

"You chose the hard way, right? When I get you

I'm going to......"

"Dad!" Dorris screamed from the other end of

the room.

No one noticed when she came in through the

back door.

"Nora! What's happening? Dad! Jesus Christ"

Dorris was saying everything that came to

mind and sight

I didn't exactly hear what Uncle Will said to

Dorris, but I saw the key.

In the next second, I yanked the door open,

nothing prepared my already injured heart for

what was immediately behind the door

Aunty Maryjane.
