Chapter 39: Chapter 17: I See You

JOCELYN

The days have flown by, and this week we get all our homeschooling supplies. We can pick them up at a local office that is here in town, so that’s good. Lucky for us, it’s nowhere near the high school.

Carlos, Luis, Jessie, Kerri, Mary, and I load up in an SUV to go to the address. We all chat while Carlos drives. We laugh at the thought that two weeks ago we were starting our sophomore year. Now we are all living together as roommates.

When we pull in and park, we can tell that something just doesn’t feel right. The guys get out, telling us to stay put while they look around.

They don’t see anyone, but Jessie isn’t taking any chances. I see him motion to Carlos, who jumps on his phone. When he hangs up, he nods at Jessie.

“Backup is about ten to fifteen minutes away, Jessie.”

“Okay. Let’s go in and get their supplies.”

The boys continue to look around and slowly motion for us girls to get out. They quickly usher us all inside, and we start getting the paperwork done to check out our supplies.

It takes about ten minutes for the three of us to get our bags, and as we turn around to head toward the front, we see Ricardo with about twenty men waiting outside.

Carlos jumps on the phone and holds up a hand, showing five more minutes. The guys motion for the workers to get down and hide. We girls stand behind the men, praying our backup hurries up.

“I know she is in there! Send her out!” Ricardo calls out.

“You need to go, Ricardo! You will not get her!” Jessie yells back.

“You think she wants a little piece-of-shit babysitter? She knows that I am more of a man than you will ever be.”

Jessie, Carlos, and Luis go storming out with their guns pulled just as twenty SUVs pull up behind Ricardo and his men. Our guards jump out with guns pointed.

“Everyone better put up their fucking hands!”

We see Ricardo’s men slowly put their hands up, and our guards walk up and grab their guns from them. Ricardo just stands there, looking forward toward the men. We see Jesus pat down Ricardo and give the all clear.

Jessie, Luis, and Carlos put their guns away, then another SUV comes flying into the lot and Tank, Frankie, Nate, and my dad all jump out. Nate looks like he is about to lose his shit, with his face clenched tight.

“You don’t fucking listen, do you, Ricardo!”

“Well, hello, Nate. Caden. I wish we could have met under better circumstances. I figured this would get you guys here quick so we can have a little chat.

“See, I know where you are hiding Jocelyn and her friends. I will back off for now, but be warned—I will have Jocelyn. I’ll have no problem taking you out to get to her.”

I can’t stand it anymore and burst out of the office. Jessie grabs me around my waist, but I push past him.

“Fuck you, Ricardo! I will never be yours.”

“Oh, mi amor, you will be mine. Of course, we could just end this if you come with me now. I can always put that filthy mouth of yours to good use.”

Jessie quickly spins me around, picking me up by my thighs when I wrap my legs around his waist. He crashes his lips to mine, spurring Ricardo to lunge forward. His men have to grab him to hold him back.

“Get off my girl, you fucker.”

Jessie quickly sets me down, shoving me behind Carlos and striding over to get into Ricardo’s face.

“She is mine! She is my girl! My goddess! You will never fucking have her!”

Ricardo snickers and motions for his men to load up. They all turn around, walk to their cars, load up, and pull away.

I watch as Ricardo is last to load up. He looks at Jessie and moves his thumb across his neck. I see Jessie stiffen up as Ricardo shuts the door and takes off.

“Jocelyn, are you okay?” my dad asks.

“Yeah, Dad, I’m fine. Just shook up.”

“Jessie, did you mean what you just said?”

“Mr. Maxwell, more than you can imagine. I live and breathe for her. She’s my everything.”

“I am glad to hear that, Jessie. Just no kids yet, okay?”

“Yes, sir! I completely understand. You have my word.”

My dad nods his head, and Nate just stands there, dumbfounded. I run up to Jessie and jump in his arms, crashing my lips to his.

“Let’s get you guys home.”

We all climb into the SUV and are followed by the guards back to the apartment. While we drive, I snuggle with Jessie and think about what a lucky girl I am.

My dad hasn’t flat out given the okay, but I will take what I can get. I’m in no rush for sex. I just feel so safe in his arms, and when he smiles at me, it makes me melt.

We park under the building as the other SUVs park, and everyone unloads. I am talking to Mary and Kerri as we all start walking toward the building.

I realize I forgot to grab my bag so I run back to the SUV. When I turn around, there is a big guard in front of me, pinning me between the car and the car door.

“What you did with Jessie back there was hot.”

“Oh, um…okay. You need to back up right now.”

“Maybe you could do that with me.”

I stare at him, trying to understand if I heard him right. He steps forward to me as I panic a little. I try stepping back but can’t go anywhere because of the car.

I see him stare down at me as he starts rubbing himself in front of me. I am shocked as I see his cock rising, and I look back up at his face. He slowly starts rubbing his cock against me which is starting to make me sick.

“What are you doing? Get the fuck off me! Jessie! You need to back up.” I try pushing him off me which is only fueling him more. I yell out for Jessie again.

“Baby, I could please you so much more than Jessie! I bet my cock is bigger and when it gets inside that tight little cunt of yours…”

I keep trying to push him back while he is talking. I hear a gun cock and Jessie steps up behind him.

“Back the fuck up away from her, you sick piece of shit. Ken, I believe you need to go now and turn in your shit. If I ever catch you near here I will put the bullet in your head.”

I watch Ken put his hands up and slowly step back and walk away. When he turns, I see other guards walking toward him with guns drawn pointing straight at his head.

I can feel the acid rising and start to get very nauseous. Nate and Jessie look at me and before they say anything, I start shaking and vomiting all over the parking lot. When I stop, I lean on the car for support.

“My word, Jessie! Get her ass upstairs!”

Jessie grabs me and picks me up, carrying me sideways, while Nate grabs my bag. They all go up in the elevator first, and Jessie and I go last just in case I vomit again. Luckily, I don’t.

When he walks into the apartment, Jessie takes me up to our room to the bathroom so I can brush my teeth. He stands right behind me, holding me up with his head resting on my shoulder.

Once I’m done, he picks me back up and lays me down on the bed. I hear him kick off his shoes and climb in next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist. I slowly turn toward him and start crying into his chest.

“Baby, I’m so sorry. Please don’t cry. It’s okay. You will never see him again. It’s okay. What made you so sick?”

“Jessie, he was rubbing himself and his junk on me.”

I feel him pull me to him and can tell he is so tense.

“Jessie, can I just go take a shower, please?”

I feel him nod his head, and I get up, walking back to the bathroom. I turn on the shower, waiting for it to heat up while I strip off my clothes. Once it warms up enough, I climb in and start scrubbing my skin.

No matter what I do, I still feel dirty and keep scrubbing. I start yelling at what I think is dirt still on me, but it isn’t coming off.

I keep scrubbing and yelling and don’t hear Jessie come running in. He strips to his boxers, jumping in the shower and grabbing me to his chest.

“Baby, it’s okay. Stop scrubbing. You’re hurting yourself.”

“Jessie, I’m dirty! I have to get him off of me.”

I look at my legs and stomach and, sure enough, blood is starting to come through. Nate comes running and sees my red skin and the blood on the shower floor and starts to panic. He looks at Jessie for answers.

I hear Jessie say that it’s okay, he’s got it. He pulls me into a tight hug and kisses my head.

“I still feel so dirty, Jessie.”

“Baby, you are okay. Just relax, okay?”

I nod my head, and he turns off the shower, grabbing a towel to dry me off. He slowly dabs where I have scrubbed the skin raw and it instantly burns.

He grabs me, setting me up on the counter so he can put some bandages on my wounds. He puts on some ointment first and once I’m bandaged up, he grabs some underwear for me and an old T-shirt of his.

He hands me the clothing and sets me on the floor. I quickly get dressed. He throws on some new boxers and shorts as he comes to pick me back up.

He slowly walks me over to the bed, lying down with me and snuggling against my back. Before I know it, I’m almost sound asleep. I hear Jessie sneak away to go back downstairs and hear him talking to Nate and Mandy.

“Jessie, is she okay?” Nate asks.

“Yeah, Nate she is sleeping now, I think. I guess Ken was rubbing himself against her. She thinks she’s dirty now and started cleaning her skin to the point it broke and started bleeding.”

“Oh my goodness, that poor girl can’t catch a break! She finally gets rid of the nightmares and bruises, and now this. Thank goodness you moved into her room. She seems to sleep soundly when you are in there,” Mandy says.

“I’m still not thrilled about it, Mandy,” Nate says. “As long as everyone can get some sleep. Jessie, you know what I am going to say, but I will not repeat myself. Tomorrow, Mandy, we will get them set up to start their schooling while Jessie and I get rid of Ken.”
