The Part of Me I Never Had 34

It was 3 weeks after the last email, and I didn�t get any more vicious emails. So I started to let my guard down. But that didn�t mean JC did. He was still as protective of me as he was 3 weeks ago. Keith and Michael too.
�You guys have to ease up,� Justin pleaded. �You�re always with her. All the time. I bet you guys are with her in the shower even.�
�Don�t even think it Justy,� I warned.
�Someone could hurt you in the shower�� JC started.
�Don�t even think about it!� I jumped.
�Just thinking��
***************************************************************************
�Guys just hang a sec. I gotta go to the bathroom,� I announced, heading to the doors.
�Wait! I�ll come with you!�
�JC!� I shouted, exasperated and frustrated. �This security is driving me crazy!�
�You never know if she�s gonna come out and hurt you,� Michael warned.
�But come on you guys! You are with me everywhere I go!�
�We�re just protecting you,� Keith joined in.
�You don�t have to come with me to the bathroom!� I said through clenched teeth.
�Ok, ok, ok. We�ll just wait for you,� Michael suggested.
The rest of the guys just looked at the 3 like they were crazy. Which they were.
I walked into the bathroom. But when I got past the door, someone grabbed me. They clamped their hand over my mouth, preventing me shouting out. With her other arm, she held on tight to my middle. I struggled, but she didn�t budge. She dragged me over to the sink area. I looked in the mirror. It was a girl about an inch or two taller than me, with brown hair and blue eyes. But they were icy blue. Flared with hatred.
�Here�s what you get,� she practically cackled. She let go of my mouth, but then dunked my head into water.
I screamed into the water, my face covered with air bubbles.
She pulled my head up by my hair.
Before I could take a full breath, she dunked my head again.
I struggled even more, but her strong arm held my middle tightly.
My oxygen was getting used up fast.
I remembered the day at Valleyfair�
My foot connected with her shin. She let go of me in pain. My head shot up out of the water. I took the precious gulps of air. My lungs were slowly cooling down. I looked at the girl.
Her eyes burned into me. She lunged at me.
I sidestepped her, but I also slipped on a puddle of water. I landed flat on my back.
She towered over me as she put her foot on my chest. She slowly put more and more pressure on my chest, making my breathing short and hard.
I used my hands and tried to lift her foot. It did a little help.
�You won�t get him if it�s the last thing I do!� she shouted with a mad gleam in her eyes.
�Why?� I asked meekly. My breathing was getting harder and harder.
�I love him! If I can�t have him, no one else can!� she shouted madly.
�Why don�t you just move on?�
�I can�t.�
�Why?� I asked, wanting to stall her.
�He�s the one��
�If he was the one, then why are you hurting him?�
She didn�t answer.
�Well?� I asked, feeling the pressure lessen.
The gleam returned to her eyes. �I�m not hurting him. You are.�
�How?� I said, getting up slowly.
I was relieved that she didn�t try to stop me.
While she looked at the floor, I slowly inched my way to the door.
I was a foot away from the door when she looked up.
Seeing a glare, I looked at her hands.
�Oh my god! She has a knife!! She�s gonna kill me!!� I thought frantically.
I decided to go back to my original plan.
�So how am I hurting him?� I asked again, gaining a couple of inches toward the door.
�I might not know, but I do know one thing�� she said as I inched along to the door.
�YOU DIE!!� she shrieked, lunging at me.
I jumped the rest of the way out the door, looking for JC as I heard her fall.
�Jessie!� JC said worriedly. �What happened?�
I jumped at him and held him tight.
�What happened?� he repeated.
�She�s here,� I whispered.
I could feel his fear. It just made mine rise.
�Where?�
�YOU!� I heard the cold voice. I felt it too. It was like a steel knife going through my skin. Which is what she had probably intended on.
�SONDRA!� JC shouted.
�JC, just get out of the way!� she cried furiously.
�NO!�
I refused to turn around. I looked ahead of me and saw that the guys looked very tense and their eyes were blazing.
�Why? Hasn�t she caused you enough grief already?�
�No. In fact, no grief at all!�
�Just get out of the way!� she shouted again, causing a small crowd.
�Why do you want to hurt her?� he asked coldly.
�She stole you away from me�� she responded feebly, causing some mumbling in the crowd.
I kept my hold on JC�s neck.
�He broke up with you before he even met her!� Michaels voice came.
�I was going to get him back, but then she had to come and ruin everything,� she spat bitterly.
�Well obviously it backfired,� Keith defended icily.
�Not for long!�
First I felt JC�s arm move lower, as he turned like lightning, then I felt him shrivel in pain, crying out.
I let go of his neck to look at him, terrified of what I�d see.
And when I saw what happened, I had a right to be.
JC�s face was twisted in pain. He was cradling his right shoulder. There was blood dripping from his fingers.
�OHMYGOD JC!� I cried as I took my shirt off and holding it on the wound. It was at least an inch deep.
He breathed through clenched teeth, obviously in unbearable pain.
�Jessie�� he whispered softly.
�Don�t try to talk JC. Save your strength,� I commanded.
I turned around in fury, looking at Sondra.
The knife lay on the ground, dripping with blood.
�LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!� I shouted angrily. I could feel my face turning colors.
Her face was in horror. �I-I-I didn�t mean to�I didn�t��
She tried to run away, but Keith and Michael caught her. Her legs were flailing.
I whipped out my cell phone and dialed 911.
Hello?
�Yeah. I have an emergency! My husband�s been stabbed and we have the stabber. Send an ambulance and the police please!�
Calm down. They�ll be there. Where are you?
I gave her the address in a rush.
They�ll be there in a few minutes.
Click.
I put the cell away and dropped down next to JC.
The blood was seeping through quickly.
I hugged his left side. �Don�t worry sweetie. You�re gonna be ok.�
He nodded weakly.
I looked at our prisoner. �You�ll pay Sondra. You can be sure of it��
