Always by Sharon
Chapter Six
Natalie: Seth? (pauses) There has to be some kind of mistake, Jess. Are you sure you remember it correctly?
Jessica: Positive. (pauses) I didn't remember much of that night. But its coming back to me in bits and pieces. I saw his face, Natalie and that smell. (She walks over to Seth and sniffs him) I can't believe I didn't see this. Its that horrible smell. Cristian, you were with me that night. Tell me I'm mistaken.
Cristian walks over to Seth and takes in a smell.
Cristian: YOU BASTARD!!! (he slugs him)
Nat: Cristian, no!
Cris: You can't actually be defending him. He raped your sister. He deserves so much more than hes got.
Nat: I know and I hate him for that. But I don't want him dead. Please, will you just let him live?
Cris: If you promise you will take him straight to prision. Natalie, I swear if you let him get away with this...
Nat: I won't. (She looks at her sister) You do believe me, Jess don't you? I would never let anyone hurt you. Not even Seth.
Jess: I believe you, Natalie. Just don't let him suck you in.
They walk away and Natalie revives Seth.
Seth: You don't believe them do you?
Nat: Dam straight I do. (pauses) What I want to know is why? Why hurt someone you claim to love? You do remember all those times when you swore it was her you loved and not me, don't you?
Seth: I'm not with her now, am I?
Nat: Only because she's married to Cristian. You know what, I don't care anymore. You will never hurt my sister again.
Seth: And what are you going to do about it?
Nat: Simple. Your coming with me.
Seth: I am.
Nat: Yes, you are.
They get halfway to the police station when Natalie loses her grip and Seth attacks her. Jessica hits him over the head with a baseball bat and Natalie runs into her arms.
Nat: Thank you. I have no idea what happened. I was doing so well there for awhile.
Jess: Yeah, well hes strong. I understand that better than anyone. I'm glad he didn't hurt you too. (They hug)
Jess: Lets get him into the police station.
They drag Seth into the police station and Jessica explains the whole thing to her Uncle Bo. He gives her a hug and Nora walks in with Stephen.
Nora: Hey, Jess. (She hugs her)
Jess: How's my cousin?
Nora: Wonderful thank you.
Jess: I got to go. Cristian is waiting in the car. We're late for our therapy session.
Bo: I'm sorry, Jess. I am.
Jess: Just make sure he pays.
Bo: We will. I promise.
After she leaves, Nora turns to her husband.
Nora: What happened?
Bo: We found Jessica's rapist. He just tried to rape her sister too.
Nora: Who was it?
Bo: It was Seth.
Nora: Oh, Bo I'm sorry. (They hug)
