I wake up from my nightmare in Jaspers' arms. I don't know how he got here or where it is even at this moment, but I have had that same dream since I was 3 years old and this is the first time I have woken up to someone consoling me and trying to make it better. I looked at him and could see in his eyes that he was there during the dream. I instantly started crying and hid my face on his chest. As I do this, I realize that he is in sweats now and not boxers and i am still in only my panties. I felt embarrassed and tried to cover my body, but Jasper wouldn't let me go. He must have realized why I was trying to move, and he sat on the bed and went to the closet. When he comes back, he puts a huge t-shirt over my head and that covers everything i was worried about being exposed to. He then climbs on the bed next to me and pulls me close to his chest again, "Do you want to talk about it babygirl?" is all he says while he is holding me. I decide to tell him and, as I am, all he does is keep rubbing his hand through my hair and listen. He doesn't say a word, he just looks at me. At this point, I'm not really sure what to do or say and i just hang my head and look at my lap. I mean, honestly, what do you do when someone tells you something like that?
” I ask if she wants to talk about it and leave it up to her. As she starts telling me, I can feel her heart start racing again. I already know about this night, as my father had told me, but the part that makes her shake the most and that gets my blood boiling is when she describes the first man that entered her parents' room staring at her and grabbing his d**k like she was his. First off, she isn’t any man other than mine and until that happens she is no one. Secondly, she was f*****g 3 when this happened. What kind of grown f*****g man oogles and thinks about taking a 3-year-old in that way? Then I remember Hector, the enforcer for the guy Jonathan owes money to. He is a really sick f**k and will do anything he can to find pleasure, no matter the age of his subject or captive. I bet it was him there that night. As i am thinking all of this i realize she has stopped talking and is staring at her hands in her lap. Now i feel like an asshole as i have not said anything to her since she told me about her dream. As i think of what i am going to say, I grab her gently by the chin and tell her that, no matter what, she is safe with me, and they will not get her. My dad's MC is mine as well and we are all family. The fact that dad and i are ready to die for her safety means the other guys will be too.”
As Jasper reassures me that I am safe, there is a knock on the bedroom door. He releases me and gets up to answer it. When he opens the door, Michael is standing there with none other than Jake. Jake is the man who helped me and my mother when I was young and told us to run. He was the nicest of them there, and he never looked mean or hateful in any way. As they stand at the door, Jasper does something that shocks me to the core and causes me to release a huge gasp I didn’t know i had inside me. He reaches out and hugs Jake and says,“Hey brother, long time no see”. With that, they embrace fully with the pat on the back and all. As they do, I feel my heart start racing, my hearing goes to Charlie Brown's teacher, and my vision blurs. The last thing I hear before everything goes black is Jasper yelling my name.
“She saw me hugging my brother Jake and passing out. I was calling her name as i ran to catch her. It did no good. For some reason, she couldn’t handle the situation anymore. As I lay her on the bed comfortably, my dad and brother fully came into the room. My brother Jake is just staring at her and is white as a ghost. I am not sure what his problem is, but as i am about to ask, Jake speaks up. ‘Jasper is Sarah’s daughter’ he says in a voice so quiet you almost can’t hear him. The minute I hear Allison’s mom's name my head snaps right to him. He can tell by dad and my reaction that yes it is, and he just hangs his head and takes a deep breath. He begins to tell us that he was working for Oscar back then and was sent to collect a debt, but when he got there it wasn’t just Jonathan that was there but Sarah and Allison as well. He couldn’t bare to see them suffer because of his problem, so he helped get them out of town and to his dad. As he is telling us all of this, my babygirl starts to wake up and just stares and listens to what he is saying. Then she does the unexpected and jumps up and hugs him while crying. At first, Jake doesn’t know what to do and just stands there, then he breaks down crying too and just holds her like he thought she was dead. Allison realized she was in only a shirt and let go of him only, going straight to the closet. Confused, he just stared til she returned in sweats and her shirt. With a smile and a blush she came to my side, and we decided to head downstairs. Once we entered the living room, we all stopped in our tracks to see Oscar and none other than Hector standing there. Allison screams and runs from my grip out the back door and into the darkness. Jake and i follow but lose sight of her.”
I can’t believe this. I thought i was safe, I thought I could trust them, but just when i think everything is OK, they bring the two men I have run from my whole life into the house. I guess they had to gain my trust in order to hand me over peacefully. I hear Jasper and Jake yelling at me. I don’t care, I am not going back, so they can hand me over to them. I don’t want to hear excuses and i don’t want to talk. I just needed to do what my mom said and run as far away as I could from those men. I pick up speed and keep running. I don’t know where I am going, but anywhere but here is good. I can’t see very well because it is dark, and I trip over something in front of me. My ankle is killing me now, and I can’t put pressure on it. I get myself back standing using a tree next to me when i hear movement, as I try to keep going. I am grabbed from behind and feel a cloth go over my face. As i take a deep breath i feel dizzy and faint. As everything around me goes silent and i feel as though I'm passing out, I hear that sickening voice in my ear, “Hello flower.”
