Is It Over

Jess's pov

*TRIGGER WARNING- CHILD ABUSE*

Everything was black. I was panting so hard from the severe pain. I felt my face so wet from all the tears. Fresh and old.

I cried out loud feeling something go in my mouth.

"There, that'll shut you up... Now.... Hold still..."

I felt something metal and cold on my finger pinching tight. I felt so much pressure along with it. I screamed out crying arching my back the tighter her crushed my finger..

"You don't need this finger do you? Your already dead." He said in his scratchy deep tone.

I hear a blade sharpen.

I cried so hard biting on whatever was in my mouth.

'Please.... Please....make it stop!!!!!'

I feel the blade on 3 of my fingers.

I bite down so hard ready for the overwhelming pain.

Suddenly, I hear a door bash open.

"What the fuck?" I hear.

Craig's pov

My eyes widen in horror seeing who the killer was.

"Mr. Garrison, I'm going to fucking kill you!!!!"

I was blinded by so much rage. I ran at him as fast as I could.

He had a huge knife and a wrench in his hands.

"Oh you little shit.... You think you can kill me?" He asked with a wicked smile and crazed eyes.

He ran back at me laughing in way others would tremble in fear. But not me. Not now.

He threw himself at me with his knife straight out at me.

I slid on the ground below his legs quickly snatching the wrench from his other hand.

I quickly turned and kicked his knee sideways hearing a crack. He screamed out while dropping the knife. I grit my teeth yelling out loud in so much hatred.

'He took everything from me. EVERYTHING!! IT WAS HIM THIS WHOLE TIME!!!'

I kick him to the ground beating the shit out of him with the wrench. The room was filled with his screams until they eventually faded away.

I breathed out panting hard really hard as if I ran a marathon.

I dropped the wrench hearing the metal rattling as it hit the ground.

I looked back seeing her condition. I grit my teeth feeling instant tears come. I ran to her stumbling as I was too focused on making sure she was going to make it. I grabbed a knife sitting next to her.

"Jess don't move."

I hear her coughing and crying even more. I remove her blindfold and remove the sock out of her mouth .

I see her eyes bloodshot red and face wet with dry tears with some still falling.

"Craig...." She cried out.

"Shh I'm here..."

I cut her rope off her hands. When she was completely free from the rope I hugged her so fucking tight while closing my eyes. She cried so hard hugging me with weak arms.

"Craig.. You were right, there really was a kidnapper and I was the target.."

I pulled away looking in her eyes holding her face..

"I promised you I'd save you didn't I? Even he didn't stand a chance against me."

She lightly chuckled.

"Yeah, your right..."

I smiled while looking in her eyes. She looked in my eyes like she did when we had our first kiss.

I gaped my lips looking at her the same way. We both leaned in at the same time until we kissed so softly.

"Thank you...for everything Craig....I won't ever leave your side..."

"Good.... I don't want you anywhere else."

I offered her a hand.

"Come on, let's go home."

_____________

We were at my house snuggled up on the couch watching a movie in the living room. I made up some popcorn and got two sodas.

'This is really nice.'

"Craig?"

I look over at her seeing her in my Pajamas still watching the movie.

"What do you think will happen now that he's gone?"

I breathed out imaging how things might have changed. I couldn't help but smile of the thought.

"I honestly don't have the right answer for that. All I know is we are all safe now."

"Yeah a part of me had a bad feeling about the teacher. He had that off vibe about him. The way he looked at me and spoke when no one was around. My body would tremble worse then I would come home to my mother. I just...."

I set the bowl of popcorn down placing my hand on her face gently pulling her chin to look towards me. I placed my other hand on the couch to support my weight as I leaned over placing a kiss on her lips. I kept leaning until she laid on her back. I pulled away looking down at her seeing her smiling so big looking in my eyes.

"Don't think about her...you're with me now. If she try's taking you back I won't allow it. My mom won't either. She loves you and she has makes it clear she cares so much for you. Also don't think about him either. He's gone.."

"I know.. I have you to thank. You will forever be my hero."

I felt so warm inside seeing her this happy.

I smiled so sweetly going down hugging her so tight I didn't want to let go.

"If that's the case then you won't ever get hurt again. Sounds like I have a new job. Called the protective boyfriend."

I could hear her chuckle as she hugged me tight.

"Oh god what did I do?" she groaned.

"It's all your fault now your stuck with a overly protective hero." I mocked.

"When you word it as your a protective hero I like that better than the other label. Maybe your nickname can be 'hero'."

My smile widened pulling away from the hug.

"Hero, I like it. So what would you be in my eyes huh?"

"Maybe you can call me 'Lucky'."

I felt my face burning from the overload of cuteness in front of me.

I couldn't contain my smile as I felt tears building up.

"I like that for you. I suits you well."

I see her yawn while closing her eyes.

"Can we head upstairs? I'm really tired." she said rubbing her eyes.

"Yeah. Let's head to bed." I said getting off of her grabbing her hand helping her on her feet.

"Here let me put everything away while you get in bed, I'll be up shortly."

"Okay. I'll see you in a little bit." she said squeezing my hand letting go heading upstairs.

I couldn't help but smile watching her walk away.

' 'Lucky'..the amount of irony in that is uncanny.'

As I put away the bowl and turned off the TV and lights I felt a major head rush. I groaned holding my head.

'Damn.. I didn't realize watching TV was hurting my head. That was so sudden. Whatever I don't want to keep her waiting.'

I went upstairs still holding my head as it was aching in pain. When I opened my door something felt different.

'Wait..my door was a lot heavier than that. Maybe it's in my imagination.'

I walked over to my bed hearing the floor creak which was also new. When I approached I could see the moonlight shining through the window illuminating the bed.

I felt my heart flutter seeing her snuggled up but facing away.

I slowly crawled in bed to prevent her from waking up. I wrapped my arm around her pressing my chest against her back. Suddenly I tensed badly when I felt something different in my hand. My face exploded in heat as I felt my hands on her chest but...

I couldn't help but yell out loud while falling backward off the bed crashing onto the floor.

I hear her scream out being startled.

"Craig.. What happened?"

My heart sank hearing a different voice.

'Oh my god who is this? Who is in my bed right now?'

I quickly try getting up but failed as my legs were still hanging on the bed. I groaned feeling my bad aching.

"Craig, sweetie what happened?"

I look up seeing a woman figure peeking at me still on the bed.

"Get off the floor silly. Your going to wake them up in the other room. I'm surprised you didn't."

I was left speechless.

'What the fuck is happening?'

I see her get out of bed wrapping her body in the blanket holding her hand out.

"Come on hero. Come to bed with your LUCKY wife."

My eyes nearly shot out hearing the words escape the woman's lips.

'Did I really hit my head this hard?'

She grabbed my hand helping me on my feet. When I got up to her all I could see was the light from the moon shining down on us both.

I saw a fully grown woman but she was shorter then I was. I looked down feeling my heart jolt.

'I.....I am.. older again? When did this happen? Is this really....'

"Baby... you must have hit your head hard you haven't said a word. Come on don't make me angry you remember last time you pissed me off. Especially now." She said placing her hand over her blanket near her stomach.

I was still trying to process what was happening.

"Okay Silent Guy. Get your ass up here and cuddle me damn it." she demanded practically throwing me on the bed.

I laid on my back watching her crawl in bed next to me but she seems to be struggling. When she made it next to me she grabbed my arm wrapping it around her. Suddenly I hear her groaning.

"Baby.. I think I felt something." she said grabbing my hand placing it on her stomach.

My jaw nearly fell off as my heart stopped for a second. I felt her stomach but something moving inside.

'Is this really happening?'

"Craig I swear to god you don't say a fucking word I'm going to kick you." She growled. "Please say anything.. I didn't make you mad did I?" she added.

I felt tears fall off my face.

'This is her...This is real...This is the outcome to her being alive...'

I choked up not in control. I threw my arm around her hugging her so tight.

She gasped in my ear as I began crying.

"Craig.. What's wrong? What's happening please tell me!" she cried out loud.

I pulled away from the hug smashing my lips on hers feeling her tense up but melt into it.

I closed my eyes feeling her stomach throbbing hard. I hear her chuckle pulling away from the kiss.

"I guess the 'little guy' inside doesn't like his daddy being so close to mommy."

I felt my heart warm up by the second.

'Little Guy?'

"Craig really what's going on? You haven't said one word."

I rubbed her stomach noticing how big she was.

I felt the tears still leaving my face as I smiled so big feeling my heart so warm.

"I love you Lucky." I managed to say through the huge knot in my throat.

She snickered kissing my cheek.

"I love you hero." She said cuddling up to me.

My heart was so fast.

'I can't believe this is happening I wonder what else changed. I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning.'
