Obsession (Updated, Chapter 4 finished)

"So how does this look?" Esmeralda asks me, coming out from the closet wearing a very elegant blue dress, very conservative but impressive to look at. She's been trying out her new dresses for the past few hours and I have judged every single one so far. Haven't had this much fun with dress-up for a while. "I love it, of course, it's more for winter than summer, but I like the dark blue and the pattern. A bit psychedelic." She smiles and says "All right, just a few more, a white and a pink one and we'll be done for tonight. Esmeralda and I have been together for the past six months, we don't even know how it happened, it just did. It's our summer before we both go to college and we haven't been happier, with our baby on the way. "So how about this?" She comes out wearing a white dress, cut at her cleavage with a long skirt. "You look like a white queen, you just emanate that feel."

"Good to see you like it, I thought it would be tough to get you to like this one. All right, one more! This one is going to take a while." As she goes back in, I remember the first time I saw her, her medium gold hair, her entrancing dark eyes, her fair skin and of course, let's not forget her body either. Beautiful in every way and adored everywhere. Guess it was just a stroke of luck and timing, right? After several moments, she comes out wearing a hot pink dress, no sleeves, reminding me of the pictures of "a la mode" women from the 60s, complete with the fun hairstyles. "Wow, stunner, I love it, I got to get me something similar." I say, she smiles and responds "You want a dress like this?" she laughs, "I know what you mean, something to match with this, we'll find something or I'll make something, all right?" she places her hands on mine and carries them with the rhythm.

She comes back out with the regular clothing she wore earlier, a tight black shirt and jeans. "So, what do you say we go out for a while? We still got a long night ahead of us and it's barely going to be 7 I think." I ask her, "Sure, it's Friday night, how about we go to one of the parties we got invited to?" "Which one in particular?" "How about Beth's? Always loved how they're pretty formal, without the need for fancy dresses. Let me just go to the bathroom, I'll be right back." she kisses me on the cheek and goes towards the bathroom. I don't know how lucky I am, but I think I found the very one. The doorbell suddenly rings, "I'll get it!" I exclaim, I head towards the door to see a girl with a light face and short dirty blond hair. I think it's Ashley.

I open the door and confirm that it is her, wearing a dark jacket and skinny jeans, "It's just Ashley. So, what brings you here?" "Oh, nothing really, just you." she replies in a rather odd tone. Maybe some guy disappointed her? "Uh, we're about to leave in a few minutes. Do you mind coming back tomorrow? Is it something serious?" "You could say that..." she whispers into my ear, "It is about you two..." At the same moment, I feel a sharp continuous shock in my stomach, as I stagger back and fall on the floor. Seeing the taser in her hand. "Honey? James dear, is everything okay?" I can't respond with what just happened. "D-d-d-d-on't-" "Shh... Calm down." Ashley places her finger on my mouth while shushing me. Esmeralda comes out of the bathroom and gasps at the scene, "What happened?" "I don't know! He just got some sort of seizure!" As Esmeralda gets closer, Ashley pulls out a knife and throws duct tape on the floor. "All right, bitch, put him on that chair and tie him up." Esmeralda is shocked and gasps at what just happened, "COME ON, BITCH!" Ashley yells, as she gets the taser ready and tasers me again and I lose consciousness.

I wake up, tied to the chair. I see the two of them on the couch, Ashley holding Esmeralda hostage with the knife to her throat... "Uhhhh, what the hell..." "Good to see you joined us, James. It's been over 30 minutes, sorry if I caused a disturbance. But it was the easiest way." Ashley says with some sarcasm. "What do you want with us? We haven't done anything to you at all!" Esmeralda responds in a worried tone. "Oh, but you have... You both ruined my life!" "You-you're the one who-who always de-de-d-de-denied me... I just moved on." "I told you many times, it wasn't going to work out at the time!" she screams. "Listen, we'll give you anything you want, just please, let us go." "I want him, that's it!" "You could have been nicer about it... No need to tase me..." "How else would I get you two to listen! Stop being idiots! I also want to know the whole story between you two... Just why you two love to torture me and how you got together... I know it was for revenge on me, James! Don't deny it!"

She is sounding more hysterical by the minute. "Fine, I can tell you my story... If it is that important to you." I respond, "Just give me a few minutes..." "Good, then, I want your side to the story, slut." Esmeralda doesn't respond and just scoffs, "Otherwise, I'll start with you instead of him and I am not talking about a story either..." Esme's eyes widen and she nods slowly. "Good... All right, Jimmy, I want to know what happened after we split in the party last year up until today, is that okay with you?" "Yeah, sure, I'll begin from there." "I also want to know your other girlfriends, what you did with them and most importantly, this whore." I growl at the last part, "Woah now, who is in control here? Exactly, me. After he finishes, it's your turn, all right, whore?" "Yes..." She sighs, I see the light reflecting off her eyes, one can't deny her worry over this.

"I still don't see why we're supposed to share our relationship. How will it help you?" I ask Ashley, she has her eyes fixed on me, a nasty glare appears once she finishes hearing my question. Suddenly, she gives me a smile? "You see James, you and I belong together, so I want to see the part where you fucked up and where we can begin anew!" She said all of this in a happy tone, I think she has gone mentally insane, even though I had nothing to do with it. At least I hope I don't. "So where exactly do you want me to begin?" I ask, "Our first night together... Just how did we get together?" she replies, "Easy, after knowing you for over a decade, I just asked you out to the movies and you agreed. We didn't share a kiss or anything that night." "How about Gale's birthday?" "Gale's birthday? That was our fifth date together." "Now now, I'm sure that was our third..." she slyly responds, I don't want to anger her either. "Uh yeah, you're right. You want me to begin there?" "Yes, go into full detail about it, don't miss anything important, okay?" as she finishes her sentence, she shakes Esmeralda, she remains unfazed about it. "Nothing happened throughout, everything started when we were on our way there." We're talking about almost a year ago, nine months to be exact... "It began when you asked who's birthday was it..."

*Nine months ago*

Ashley is taking too long dressing up, it's been over 30 minutes, I doubt she needs any more time to spruce up. "Come on, Ash, it's not even formal!" We've been at her house for this long, just what is she doing? "I'm finished!" she comes out from her room, dressed in a low cut top and short shorts, VERY short. She does look hot and wouldn't mind banging her at the party. "Wow, Ash... You're fucking hot! How about we just go to your room and forget the party?" I say with enthusiasm, as I begin to pull on her shirt bringing her over to me. She slaps my hand lightly, "Hey, slow down." she smiles at me, "We're both single a-" "and we're not together either." I don't know how to take that response. "So who's birthday is it?" she asks, "It's Gale's." "Ugh, him? I don't know something about him that I don't like." "What is it that you don't like about him?" "I don't know, he's just so... annoying?" doesn't look like she has a good reason at all, I'm calling bullshit on this one. "We're going to have a good time, don't worry about it." I grab her hand and we head into my car.

"If that asshole even touches me, I swear, I'll slap him across the face!" one can easily hear the anger in her voice.

"Calm down, he won't, we probably won't even see him since he drinks a lot."

"Fine, as long as we don't see him."

"So, what did you do today?"

"Not a whole lot, just been waiting for you, dressed up and now I'm here with you."

"Sounds like a lot of fun..."

"Yeah it does at times."

"Do you at least like the dates I've taken you out in?"

"Yeah, they were enjoyable, no other guy has been as good looking or honest as you are."

"Good, at least you enjoyed our outings together."

We remain quite for the remainder of the ride. Not much happened, just her being pretty weird.

"All right, we're here." We can clearly see the people partying, couples left and right, drinks all around, yep, a typical high school party. We enter the house and see the little dance party that's going on. Gale comes right up to us. Immediately, Ash leaves.

"James, about time you got here.! What took you so long?"

"Oh, you know how women are. She took her time dressing up."

"Figures, I've been telling you man, she isn't worth it. Listen, you remember Esmeralda? She personally asked me for your number earlier and, yeah, I gave it to her." He is rather enthusiastic about what he just said.

"You're kidding, right? Esmeralda? She is the finest girl in school, but really?"

"She's here somewhere with her friends, so why not look for her? She's going to text you at 7:20, so that leaves about 20 minutes."

"Wow, I should kick your ass for this, if Ash learns about thi-"

"Leave that bitch, tell her she can go fu-"

"Leave what bitch?!" she screams from behind him.

"Leave the bitch from his English class, they're forced to be in a group and she's a total pain in the ass."

"Whatever, Gale. Come on, James, let's leave this sorry fuck."

"I'll see you later." I tell him as she grabs my hand and takes me to the backyard. She guides me through the crowd, until we finally hit the brick wall, she pins me onto the wall. Placing her left thigh on my stomach.

"So, tell me James, do you want me?" she says as she gets closer to my face.

"Of course." I place my hands on her waist.

"So, you do know what I think about you, right?"

"Nope, not yet..." I lean in for a kiss, instead, I meet with two fingers on my lips.

"Nope, you're going to have to do better than that." she sings along. She gives me a seductive look with her eyes, I take it as a signal. She starts to reach down my pants, messing around with my penis.

"You know, sooner or later, you should show me just how good you are with it, don't you think?" I'll be honest, it isn't easy responding.

"How about we go to his parent's room? It's empty tonight."

"How about I decide? Let's go somewhere nice and fancy, don't you think? We should make our first time more than memorable." Doesn't sound like the best of ideas, even for our first time together.

"Uh yeah, sure... Are you okay with being here?" I ask with some reluctance.

"Well, I haven't spotted any of my friends, but I'll go hang with them if I do, is that okay?"

"Sure, if you want to." She grabs me by my hand again and drags me to one of the tables. I look at my cell phone and see that it's 7:10, not long before Esmeralda texts me.

"So, what do you plan to do once you graduate?" she asks with a smile.

"Plan on going to college, don't know which one yet though."

"Aw, why don't you move in with me? I got an apartment all for my lonely self." she makes some puppy eyes.

"I'm trying to graduate with something, it seems like a step in the right direction."

"Well, I graduated last year and still going to college, I don't know what to graduate in though." takes us back to step one.

"There's something for everyone anyway, we still got time to th-"

"Hey, I didn't know you were here Liz!" she exclaims to her friend behind me. She gets up and hugs her.

"You remember Liz, right?"

"Yeah, I do."

"All right, well, it's been nice being with you, Jimmy, I'll see you later, is that okay?" I'm surprised at this.

"Uh, yeah, sure." I have a surprised expression and shrug it off a few seconds later. A few moments later, my phone vibrates and it's a text from a random number.

"MEET ME AT THE BACKYARD, IT'S ESME <3" I do as she texted, I head on out and as I look for her looking like a fool, she comes from behind. Wearing a dark green dress, barely showing the cleavage line and a long skirt that matches it. Her light skin, long gold hair and shimmering green eyes. I was amazed. She was already hot enough in class, but wow.

"You do remember me, right?" she asks with some concern.

"Yeah, we were in history class last year, it's just that we hardly made contact."

"Yeah, unfortunately. Listen, um, do you want to go somewhere more quiet than out here?"

"Sure, I don't mind." she quickly grabs me by the hand and takes me upstairs. In the distance, Gale gives me a thumbs up.

"Isn't this his parents room? Do we have permission to be here?" I ask as I see the pictures of his parents all around us.

"I asked him earlier and he said it was okay. So don't worry, we're okay. So, do you have a girlfriend?" wow, this was fast.

"No, I don't, I'm dating someone an-"

"Is it that one girl that your friend, hates?"

"The same."

"Hm, well, do you have feelings for her? Do you want to be with her?" this might end up being a problem.

"I do, a lot. Been like that for almost ten years."

"Oh..." she frowns, I feel a bit bad now. "Then... I don't have a chance, do I?"

"No, you do. I-it's just that, w-w-w-well, I don't know. She just seems so distant, we haven't even k-k-k-kissed yet." She smiles.

"Does she treat you nice? Gale said she pulls you around and ditches you, I saw you both come into the house, but I saw you split up tonight." Has she been spying on us?

"Well, there have been occasions where she just leaves with friends..." I confess.

"I'm starting to not like her now."

"I like her."

"You're a weird guy, James. I like that. Gale wasn't kidding either." she dons a playful smile, I don't know what to think.

"So did Gale beg to you? Sounds like something he would do to make Ashley leave." I get pretty defensive over this.

"Oh no, not even. I asked Gale for you."

"Liar." I get slapped hard across the face, forcing me to sit down on the bed.

"Listen, you're looking fucking handsome right now, this nice dark red shirt and white pants are too nice to mess up. However, I will not let you insult me in any way possible, unless we're joking lightly of course. Again, I asked for you. Got that?" rubbing my cheek, it does sting a lot. Her angry side is something better off to leave alone.

"Sorry, sorry. Ow, I just didn't expect a slap like this."

"Sorry about that, it just hasn't been easy for me these past few months." she changes her tone.

"What do you mean?"

"My ex and I didn't get along well, we got into several fights before we finally split."

"Oh, sorry to hear that."

"Don't be. Anyway, do you want for us to be together or not? I'll give you a week if you want to think about it." wow, I think I'll take the week.

"I'll take the week, uh, you won't mind, right?"

"Of course not, but I'll be honest, no need for dates or any sort of "compatibility" issues. Just straight out, let's be together."

"Wow, I don't know what to say... Uh, thanks?" she makes a big smile.

"Would you like to sleep together?"

"As in sex? I didn't bring a condom..." I look through my pockets and wallet, just thin air.

"Until you get her off your back, we won't be having any sort of sex. We don't want problems do we? So come on, let's get together on the bed. Parties have never been my thing, well, at least these kind of parties." she gets on the bed and brings me down with her. Kissing the cheek she slapped. I am confused and don't know what to do. I place my arm around her and she starts to get comfortable and snuggles in to me.

"I'm calling bullshit on what both of you are saying! James wouldn't betray me like that! He would never cheat on me like that!" Ashley screams. Accusing me of something, pretty typical by now. "Except for the fact that I didn't and Esme is my witness. Even Gale can confirm that." "SHUT UP! Just continue on with your story, fast forward it to something like the next time we were out together." right, just four days later...

After a long school day, I head to Ashley's house, heading upstairs to her apartment and knocking on her door. She doesn't open. After a few moments, I knock again and she opens the door this time, still in her sleeping wear, drowsy eyes and pissed off. "Just so you know, I had a night shift." she says in an angry tone.

"Sorry, if I would've kno-"

"Come on in, you already woke me up, maybe your talking can get me back to sleep." as she opens the door and drags me in, she turns around and heads to the sofa.

"So, how was school today?" she asks in a sour tone.

"It was good, uh, not much happened. How was the party for you? I didn't see you after we split."

"We got a bit drunk, met up with Monica and went to some other place. Met some cute guys along the way and some guy named Richard. Did you end up going home after we split or what?"

"No, I stayed the night over. Met some new people too."

"You didn't meet any other girls right? Didn't go and fuck some random slut, right?" she says in a furious tone.

"No, I would never do that..." well, I wouldn't say 'fuck' personally.

"Good boy." She says while looking at her fingernails, I don't know who I'm dealing with, here. "Say, Jimmy, why don't you carry me to bed. I'm kind of tired." She says while yawning. I get up over to her, place her on my arms and carry her back to bed. As I head to the door, I look back to her, she has no underwear... I walk my way back to her and get on the bed. Slowly rubbing her body with my hands, she starts to moan and gets harder. Her breasts are pretty firm and her nipples are hard. Once I go down south is when she starts getting excited. She opens her eyes and screams, "YOU BASTARD!" and pushes me off her bed. I hit my head hard on her closet, she doesn't mind the injury.

"Don't you ever fucking dare touching me like that, all right?! I MAKE THE RULES ON HOW FAST WE GO. I WILL EVEN CALL THE COPS ON YOU IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN." I can't respond to her with this pain, she reaches out to my face and grabs my cheeks with her fingers. "DID YOU EVEN HEAR ME?!" I nod just to make her stop, she pushes my face violently to the side. "GET OUT! I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOU RIGHT NOW! GET OUT!" She even picks me up and shoves me across her apartment. The worst feeling was getting shoved out of her front door, just grabbing the rails so I don't fall off, she had no concern about it and slammed the door behind me. Nothing to do here now, I head to my car and go home.

I don't blame myself for this incident, she clearly was the aggressor. I throw my keys on the table and head to my room. Suddenly, the bell rings. I open the door and see that it's Gale. "I saw and heard everything earlier today." he states with concern, "Were you spying on us?" "No, of course not, she leaves her windows open at times and she fingers hersel-" "Yeah, I don't know about that... Mind explaining a bit?" "That is pretty much it." he laughs about it. "Come on inside." I say, we go into my room since I don't feel safe discussing this outside. "Anyway, yeah, I started getting frisky on her and she throws me off her bed. Hitting my head on her closet." "Ouch, was that before or after she got pissed?" "Right when it began is more like it, she didn't like it I guess... So... Bam." making a gesture of hitting my head.

"I would make a 'is the thing okay' joke, but now is not the time, you are pissed off and don't really want to talk about it." he says, guess my expressions don't help but the sound of my voice does. "So did you come here to tell me that?" "No, not even, Esme contacted me in school and said you got until Saturday at 11 at night. So if you plan on being with your bitc-" "Don't say that." "If you plan on staying with your current... Other, don't talk to Esme, at all... Ever again. If you plan on moving to Esme, go to her house before that time." "She is pretty strict..." I say in a nervous and concerned tone, "Listen, Esme is something out of this world. I tried, took her out a few times and it didn't work out. Just trust me about her." "You are kind of begging..." "Doesn't matter, do you still want to be abused and abandoned? What if your kids end up being miserable because of her? You still got a chance! No one can escape a relationship and just head into another, it is a golden ticket." "True..." Kind of hard to pick a side now, "Fine, I'll give one last shot to Ashley, if it doesn't work out, I'll go on to Esme." "There we go, I uh, time for me to go. Girl is calling my phone and it's been vibrating in my pants for the past five minutes. "You got a girl?!" "Yeah, it became official on Sunday, apparently. See ya!" He dashes out of my house.

Being left more confused and with more choices isn't a good feeling, my head was hurting throughout the whole conversation. I'll just sleep it off for now and think about it later, I still have three days left or so...

"And that's it, Gale just checked up on me and left." Ashley gives me a nasty glare.

"Do you want me to slit her throat because you lied?" She says while smiling.

"I swear, Ash... I wouldn't lie to you, not at a time like this."

"Good, miss green eyes here wouldn't like it if you lie."

"Listen, Ashley... I know you don't like me, but please. Just once, let me relax." Anyone can the fear in her voice.

"I'll help you relax, bitch." Ash raises her left hand and starts fondling Esme's breasts.

"Ahh, please, don't do that." she pleads, she slightly moans.

"It's either you stay quiet or you relax, until I change what goes on."

"Okay, just please, stop." Her worried face hasn't changed, I need to do something.

"Then shut up, deal?" Esme slowly nods her head in response and the fondling stops.

"Don't think you're safe Jimmy, if you don't say your side of the story, no one will see either of you two again."

"Is there something specific you want me to talk about?"

"What happened on our last date?" she asks, she has a somber voice on this response.

"Fine..."

I swear, I should just make them both suffer, but I don't know how to do it. Too many choices! So many different kinds of satisfaction! I can easily start by slitting her throat, see what reaction he gives and how she squirms on the floor! But I can also stab her stomach multiple times and make her death a bit slower and more enjoyable! Maybe I should start by stabbing him in the stomach a few times or maybe I should open their stomachs! Spill their guts all over the floor!

I still don't know who I should make suffer the most, the slut or James... I want to see both their tears, I'm going to try either way... Slowly but surely... Although, I'll be honest, she smells good, I can see myself getting ready with this perfume and fucking other guys. Getting me so fucking horny and wet!

"Hold on, James... Don't start yet..."

"Is something wrong?" I ask her with a sarcastic tone, the fear in her eyes is unlike anything I've ever seen, she can't even answer and is surprised I talked to her right now, but it might be the tension from my knife. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you... Right now." I playfully tell her.

"W-w-why are you doing this to us?"

"Don't you listen you dumb bitch? You took him away from me and the only way to get back at you is to correct his mistakes, along with erasing some of his."

"Please, let us go. I beg of you." She starts to cry.

"Sorry girl, it isn't that easy. Now shut up before I take out your guts."

"Ashley, just what led you to this?" James asks.

"You did, dear. There is no other way... It's either me or her, but I don't think it would be wise to choose her." I can feel her body trembling... Even she knows that neither of them will make it out alive tonight... I love her for that. I still love James more though, he knows we are meant for each other, our parents talked about us being together for years!

"You may begin now James. Don't skim on the details."

I wink at him with a smile. All he can do is express his sorrow at his stupidity led him to.

She's gone insane, I honestly don't think we're going to make it out alive if I don't delay her. But at the same time I don't want to anger her.

"It was Saturday night..."

I check my cell phone and see that it's 9:45, Ash and I have been in this fancy restaurant for the past hour. She has been rather quite and exact on her responses. But she and I are still smiling.

"James, have you been with any other girls before me?"

"Uh yeah, why do you ask?"

"Have you ever fucked them?" I only had one girlfriend and I wasn't going to be honest about this.

"No."

"Good, I like it that you waited for me." As if...

"So Ash, are you single right now?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Well, we have been dating for a while and I do want to be with you."

"James, you better be joking with me."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't like you that way."

"But all the dating, parties we've gone on, the way you tease me and treat me. You even said they were dates! Even right now, you said that you were glad I am waiting for you."

"Well, right now isn't the time for that."

"We've known each other for about ten years, when is it enough?"

"When I say so." I stand up and slam my hands on the table.

"Also, when you grow up." She remarks.

"That's it, I've had it. Here I am, thinking that you are the love of my life and the one. Guess I was wrong about it." I head towards the exit and towards my car.

"You know, James. I always saw you like a brother, nothing else. So just keep it to yourself you fuck!" She screams from across the restaurant.

I don't know, I feel lost. I just leave the restaurant and get into my car. I text Gale for her address. I start up the car and proceed to leave. I get a text back, it's about an hour drive from here. I look at my phone, it's 10:05... I don't think I'm going to make it. I check out a map on my phone and try to take the quickest route possible. No traffic so far. I finally reach the McAntire Bridge and like always, it's busy like always. Five miles long and full lanes. I am so fucked. I force my ways through lanes and get cursed at by a lot of people. One guy even throws a rock at me, I don't know how he got it, but he sucks at aiming as for it missed my car. Finally, I pay the toll and dash to her house. I check the map again and she is about ten more minutes away. I check the time, 10:50.

I can't be that far, but all this traffic might just make me late. Everyone else is rushing through and don't care about the law, I follow suit and a cop starts to pursue us. After a few moments, the cop gets ahead of me and continues pursuing the rest. Seeing how I'm out of the clear, I dash towards her house. I'm on Strata Blvd., I look around for 612 for the number, but I can't seem to find it. I'm in the middle of a street and I can't see the numbers, I spot a few houses with their lights on. I park in front of a green house and knock on the door, no answer. Seems the just left them on. I go across the street and knock on their door, a woman opens the door.

"Hello?" she asks.

"Uh, does Esmeralda live here?"

"No."

"Thank you and sorry for the disturbance." she closes the door.

I spot one more house with the lights on and I rush towards it. The lights are turned off just as I get to the porch, I look at the time and it's 11:05... This day couldn't get any worse. I still approach the door and knock on it.

"She isn't going to answer, you know." Someone tells me from the side, sitting on a chair.

"It's already her bed time." I look towards the voice and see Esmeralda with a smile on her face.

"I knew you were going to make it, sorry for the whole time limit... I just didn't know if you would trust me. Also, try not to make a lot of noise. My little sister is going to sleep."

"I did, I just didn't think you would give me extra time."

"Heh, I'm strict, but not that strict." she gives a bright smile. She puts her arms around my neck. "Is there anything you want to tell me?" I place my arms around her waist. I instinctively kiss her passionately.

"Let's go inside, you look tired and stressed out. Plus it's getting cold out here." she takes me inside in a rush. Placing me on her dining table.

"Want some coffee or tea?"

"Nah, I'm okay. Listen... I want to know, what got you my attention." she sits in front of me.

"I don't know, I had Gale for a few classes and he knew about my relationship problems. He was a bit concerned and even asked me out for a while, of course, we didn't get along like he wanted. I think I had him for at least one class every year, so since it didn't work out between me and him, I decided to find out who you were and asked him. Turns out you two are best friends, pretty lucky if you ask me. I don't know why I picked you, you just seemed so calm and relaxed, but you hardly talked to anyone, so I wanted to talk to you, we just never got that fortunate."

"Ha, I was too shy to ask you out, I thought you would reject me on the spot and embarrass me. You are a good looking girl."

"Haha, yeah, I get that a lot... I am quite picky when it comes to guys, I gave a lot of them a shot, I ended up in bad places and situations. So now we're here." She starts to tear up, I walk to her side and get on my knees.

"Is everything okay?"

"Don't worry about it, I'm just happy you're here. It's about time I got my break, I'm sure you're thinking the same thing." She's right, Ashley wasn't really who I wanted to be. I smile at her and she smiles back, giving me a strong hug in the process.

"Do you want to go to sleep? I noticed that you look too tired right now, what have you been up to all day?"

"Lots of things, chores, homework, studying, taking care of my sister, you know, older sister stuff."

"Would you like me to carry you?"

"Sure, go ahead." She gets on my arms, leading me through her house.

"Come on, get over here. I know you're sleepy too, you can take off your clothes if you want, it won't bother me." I proceed to lay right next to her and hug her.




"And that's it, we got together in the morning and now we're here. Unfortunately..."

"Nice story James, but I ain't buying it. No way a slut like her will even text you." she said pointing her knife at me.

"Go ahead, don't believe me then."

"I might as well go over there and slit your throat you son of a bitch!" She shoves Esme down to the floor hard and comes up to me. Poking me lightly with the knife into my stomach, I hide no fear. Suddenly, Esme comes from behind and hits her head with one of our vases. She falls to the floor unconscious, Esme grabs the knife and begins cutting away at the duct tape, after several minutes, I'm free and I hug her. She's almost crying at this point.

"Come on, let's tie her up first before we call the cops." As we approach her, Ash kicks me in my stomach and shoves Esme to the wall.

"You fucks! That's what you get for treating me like this!" Esme tries to tackle her down, but she gets thrown to me instead. As Esme falls on me, I make sure she's okay. I hear a cocking sound.

"I wouldn't do anything stupid, if I were either of you."

"Esme, don't move."

Ashley points a gun to her head.

"He's right you know, it would be a bad move. I'll blow your fucking heads off right now!" I hear Esme gasp and she turns to face her, she's speechless.

"Now, I think we're done with his story, how about we go on to yours, slut? You two are severely anal fucked now!" She gives off a crazy grin and her eyes widen,

"Come on, get up, you filthy dogs." She waves her gun upwards a few times. "GET THE FUCK UP!" I can feel Esmeralda trembling, Ashley stomps her way to her and picks her up by the shirt, takes a few steps back and points the gun to her head. "GET THE FUCK UP JAMES! YOU DO NOT WANT ME TO BLOW HER BRAINS OUT!" I quickly get up and raise my arms to the air. She throws Esme to me, pushing us to the wall. "Please... don't hurt us." Esme pleads. "Aw, poor baby, if it was that easy I would. You are a very lovely girl though." She points the gun at us.

I hold her tight and turn us around.

*BANG*

*BANG*

*BANG*


Esmeralda just stares in shock.

"Esme... Ashley... Why..."

I slide down to my knees, Esmeralda barely holds me.

============================================================================

I don't know what to do, she just shot him, I can feel his grasp getting weaker in my arms.

"I did it... If you still want to save him, I suggest we take him to a bed. DON'T JUST STAND THERE! I'LL GET HIS LEGS AND YOU GET HIS ARMS!" she yells at me. We take him to our bed, we place him face down since that is where all the bullets hit. One is in his shoulder, one in his leg and one in his abdomen.

"I have all the tools in my jacket, hold on." She takes off her jacket, revealing all sorts of tools a doctor would use... This is weird... Is she thinking of torturing us? Was that her main objective? "As for you, I'll strap you down to this chair for the time being, just make sure you don't interrupt me at all or James will wake up next do a dead woman." I just nod, as she puts this wire around my wrists to strap to the armrests. It is very tight and I can hardly move, if I move enough it will cut me. She is tending to his wounds, ironically. But at least she is being nice, as long as he lives, I'm okay with it...

"So, what got you interested in him? Was it his big dick what you wanted all along? His carefree attitude? Or is it that... You're just too scared without him?" she says with a sly smile, as if she is right. "What does it matter to you? You either want to kill us or take him away or who knows what is going on in your head!" she stops tending him and comes up to me, holding the gun in her hand and slaps me with it. "You don't know shit and you don't deserve to know either!" I'll admit, the gun made the impact far worse than expected.

"That should give you a hint, I don't like hurting people, so please, I'll ask and you answer." she goes back to him. I start to fall unconscious, don't know if it was from the hit... My eyes just shut themselves.

============================================================

Good, she got knocked out from that slap. While I tend to his wounds, I think I may have overdone it. The blood in his abdomen stopped at least, the other two weren't a huge worry. This stupid idiot just needed to learn a lesson from me, about time too. That bitch of his doesn't know how to respect others, well, the bullets were for her anyway, but he just had to get in the way. I love his chivalry, he never fucked me once, but I've seen him naked plenty of times already.

What this girl doesn't know is that I am for him. No one else. He is naked right now, in front of me, lying face down. Wow, I seriously don't know what to do with that. Now I just have to strip him to make sure he's safe and to finalize all the help I can give at the moment. I start to get turned on by him, taking off his clothes. I feel like fucking him once I turn him around. I start taking out the bullets, one by one, slowly. Some blood comes out, but nothing I haven't seen by now. As I finally get to the third and final bullet from his abdomen, it gets worse. Profound bleeding, I immediately cover it with one of the towels I have. After a few minutes, I cover it and disinfect it, along with disinfecting the other wounds.

I look at the clock, it's 8:30... I'll wait a while before I turn him over, I just hope she doesn't wake up yet.

...

Fifteen minutes pass by, I turn him around, I can easily tell if he is bleeding with these white sheets on his bed anyway, so no worries there. I flip him around, tying his wrists together and legs with some piano wire. Now he won't do anything stupid, neither will. They're both screwed anyway, now I just have to wait and see who bleeds first.
