Serendipity

chapter 25

"What are you..." I freaked out and looked at him as he pushed me in. Now that I look closely at him, his forehead is bleeding.

"Let me call for help" I breathed out as I fished my phone out of my pocket but he snatched it from me. He looked crazed as if he is not in his senses.

"No" he growled and I took a step back at his reaction.

"You help me" he gritted out. He isn't the same Jack I have known for months.

"Jack..." I started but he pushed me with him inside the small apartment. It was so small and dirty. He pushed me down on an old weary couch. I took in the view of the small apartment with one room and a small kitchen on the right side of me. The windows were closed and I felt suffocated.

"Here," he pushed the first aid kit into my hand and I opened it clumsily, my heart beating out like it would come out of my chest any minute now. I am scared, I have never seen Jack behave like this. He is always so calm and collected.

I cleaned his blood and applied the bandage.

"How does this happen?" I asked once I was done. I wanted to get away from him but I think that won't be a smart move right now.

"I smacked my head in the wall," he told me with a shrug as if it is a very normal thing.

"Why ... why would you do something like that?" I said as I looked at him with judgement. I can't help!

"Because of you!" He said and there was immense anger behind his words.

"Me?... I... Jack, it's not ..." I don't know what to say. He was looking at me with so much anger. I stood up and made my way towards the door.

"I have to go," I said but stopped when he called me from behind.

"You forget this," he said as he waved my phone in his hand with a grin that made me shiver in fear. I stepped towards him and hold my hand for him to give me my phone but he threw it behind him on the floor. I looked at him with wide eyes but then he held my outstretched hand in his and pulled me towards him. The same hand that is bloodied.

I fell on him as I couldn't keep my balance. I instantly tried to move away from him but his other hand clutched my waist as he pulled me close to him. Our faces were too close for my liking. Our bodies touched each other and I felt so uncomfortable.

"Leave me" I tried to sound firm but it came out a little shaky. A creeping smile comes on his face as he leans towards me more Our faces almost touching. I instantly moved my head to the right as I tried to free myself. I was squirming in his arms. His lips touched my cheeks and I shivered in disgust.

"Jack stop!" I almost yelled.

"Stop touching me," I told him this time firmly. He chuckled dryly and I felt the neck at the back of my neck stands.

"Baby, you are in no position to make a demand," he said. And tighten his hold on me, I squirmed harder but then he hissed.

"Stop moving," he said and then kissed my cheek again. I pushed my head away as much as I can from this angle. He held both my wrist in his hand so I used my legs to kick him. This seem to anger him more as he pushed me hard away from him and I fell back down. My head hits the edge of the coffee table and then I start seeing dots. I fell into darkness.

When I woke up I was on a slightly hard surface, I sat up and found myself in a dark room. The only dim light coming from the side table lamp. The room was so small with only a small mattress. In the corner where I was lying down. I stood up and felt my head paining. I touched my temple and felt immense pain when it comes in contact with the small cut.
