college was over in about a month, and I hadn’t even written a single word.
Jenkins told me not to worry, that my story would come to me and I needed to relax and let the process happen. Relax. That’s like telling me to be patient, right? I was never all that good at patient.
I finally reached my college campus and relaxed my posture a bit. This was a nice, quiet, liberal arts college. Yeah, it was in a city, but the campus had safety statistics going back decades and had nothing worthwhile of note.
I felt completely safe here.
I turned the music up another notch or two, completely losing myself in some classic Aerosmith. Hey, no judging. I totally get that this stuff was released a couple decades ago, but in Massachusetts, it’s still a current hit, always will be. We’re quirky that way up here.
Love in an elevator
Livin’ it up while I’m goin’ down
Love in an elevator
Lovin’ it up till I hit the –
Umph.
I felt a squeezing vice on my right arm, squeezing tight enough to not just bruise but possibly crush my bones.
Warm, sticky breath rushed by my right ear as my attacker laughed a raspy, hard laugh that grated against the small hairs around my ear and on my neck and made me shudder in revulsion and fear.
“So the bitch finally closed her legs and came home, did she?”
The sing-song lilt made it hard for me to peg who had me pinned tight against them. It was obviously male, but for some reason, I felt like I knew this person.
There was something eerily familiar.
I tried to push fear down and take in my surroundings. I tried to pay attention to what was happening so I could remember it.
I reached for my pepper spray with my right hand but it had moved over to the left side of the pocket in the front. Whoever this guy was, he had my arm held so tight I couldn’t move it.
“What do you want? I don’t have much money, but you can have all of it. Please , just let me go.”
His laughter taunted me.
He whipped around and slammed me against a car that was parked on the curb. He did this with such force that when my back hit the car, my head snapped backward, connecting with the edge of the roof of the car.
My eyes closed in pain as the darkness threatened to take me under, away from what was happening. I struggled to open them, only to realize I was staring at my dorm. I had almost made it home. I was steps from safety when this happened. I tried to mentally will one of my fellow dorm residents to come out of the door. For someone to look out the window. Something.
I tried to stand up, away from the car, only to find this guy’s hand at my neck, pinning me back down.
The rising bile in my throat threatened to spew all over him. I had to swallow a few times to keep everything down.
Suddenly my vision of my dorm was blocked. As my eyes readjusted, I was staring into dark eyes, their anger towards me terrifying. How did I know these eyes? I’d seen them before.
“Whores like you seem to like to give it away. It’s time for me to get mine. If your pussy is so tasty that you get the prize job, the one that everyone else actually put hard work and effort into, then I want my turn. Maybe it’s time to teach a slut a lesson.”
Oh my God.
No.
Not this.
I tried again to get to my pepper spray, but it was out of reach with me pinned to the car.
Suddenly, his name came to my mind.
“James?”
His lips pulled back from his teeth in a smile that would put the most fearsome horror movie villain to shame. I couldn’t control the chills of terror that ripped through my body.
Unfortunately, he felt that, too.
“Aw, look. The office tramp likes dick so much that she’s already turned on for me. I felt that shudder so I know you want it, too. Sluts like you always want it. You’re probably already wet for me.”
I opened my mouth to let out a blood-curdling scream only to feel a sharp sting on my face as the right side of my head hit the car once again. Tears filled my eyes as the skin on
