Always by Sharon
Chapter Three
Cristian opens the door to his apartment with Susanna close behind. It looked like the place was in disarray and Cristian could feel his heart pounding as he called out her name.
Cristian: Jessica? Hey, Jess where are you? Jess? After searching everywhere, he finally finds her clovering in a closet afraid to move. He knees down beside her.
Cris: Its okay, Jess. Its me.
She looks up to him with tears in her eyes.
Jess: I was so scared, Cris. He tried to break in. I didn't know what to do.
Cris: I'm so sorry, Jess. I never should have left you alone.
Jess: Its okay, Cris. Its fine. This isn't your fault.
Cris: Alright. Lets go. Lets get you to the couch.
She sits down on the couch and Susanna approaches her.
Susanna: Hey, Jessica. I heard you might be need of a doctor.
Jess: I don't understand. Aren't you a psychiatrist?
Susanna: Thats right.
Jess: Then how? How can you examine me? Isn't that suppose to be done by a doctor?
Susanna: I understand that your scared. But I do this sort of thing all the time. The first thing I need to do is take some pictures. Why don't we go to the bathroom? You might feel more comfortable.
Jessica relunctantly takes Susanna's hand and they go to the bathroom. They were gone from what it seems like hours and when they came back, she was a wreck. She gave Jessica a "morning after" pill and then said goodbye. Jessica turned to Cristian with so much pain in her eyes.
Jess: Can I take a shower now?
Cris: Go ahead. I'll be waiting.
After she comes downstairs he had a couple of bags on the floor. She was standing in a robe, looking amazed.
Jess: Are we going somewhere?
Cris: Yeah, put these on.
He throws her a bag.
Cris: My mom brought these down. They should fit.
Jess: Alright. I'll be right down.
When she comes down wearing jeans and a long sleave t-shirt, she smiles at him.
Jess: Thank you for knowing I want to be casual tonight. I love it.
Cris: Does that me you trust me to get on a plane with me?
Jess: Why? Don't you want to be with Natalie?
Cris: No, I want to be with you. Lets get out of here.
Jess: Alright, I guess you know what your doing.
Cris: Your damn straight.
