Can't Escape

Chapter 14

::Rainee::

As soon as we got back into the house, Alejandro grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to face him.

"Why are you so upset, Rainee?" He asked.

I stared blankly at him, remaining silent. Alejandro frowned.

"Well, I suppose the reason doesn't matter. However, I don't like seeing you unhappy. What do you want to do, Rain?

"Is letting me go an option?"

Alejandro folded him arms and said,

"Now why would I-"

"Then just leave me in that metal room with Chelsea."

Alejandro hung his head and sighed. A bald, buff white man, in a black, short sleeve shirt, blue jeans, and black boots walked towards us.

"You can go now." Alejandro said.

He put a hand on my shoulder and led me back to the room. Chelsea was lying sideways on the bed, looking at the wall, on top of the covers. Alejandro slammed the door shut. I could hear him stomping away, mumbling about something. I sat on the bed, next to her.

"What happened?" Chelsea mumbled.

"Some shit. I...married him, and...he took me into that motel, and he...he..." I stammered.

I could feel tears spilling down my face. Chelsea Sat up, and I buried my face in her shoulder.

"He raped me..." I whispered.

"Je vais le tuer! Je jure que je le ferai!" Chelsea yelled.

At this point, I didn't think we could possibly kill him. Even if Chelsea swore to it. She started patting my back.

"He didn't use...a condom," I said.

That means he'll probably get me pregnant! No, no, no, no, no! I would never want a child by him!

"Oh no...no, no, no." Chelsea said.

"Even if there is a baby, I'm not gonna abort it because he was born because of him.
That's murder." I mumble.

"This can't be..."

Seven months later, February 25th, 2016

Time seemed to zoom by. As I predicted, it was true. I was pregnant. By him. Seven months, so far. I had no idea if I was having a girl or a boy, because Alejandro wants to be surprised. As far as I can tell, there's only one. I've been with Alejandro for seven months. He hasn't even let us out of this room, since he found out I was pregnant. I don't know why I feel so nonchalant about this, when really, this is all fucking insane!

I want to snatch this ring off my finger and burn it. Burn it to ashes. But I can't because it's a "symbol of our love", as Alejandro claims.

As I lie on the bed, Chelsea asked a question.

"Do you think we'll ever get out of here?"

"I don't know. I hope."

Chelsea then looked into my eyes. She closed her eyes and smiled.

"I can't keep this secret much longer, Rain."

"What secret?"

Chelsea and I told each other everything. What could she be hiding from me?

"Have you ever wondered why...all these years we've been best friends, and I've never taken a liking to guys?" Chelsea asked, looking down.

I gasped at Chelsea. I didn't even know!
