《Here》Chapter Twenty-Five
Advertisement
After refusing to talk to any male police officers or answer their questions, they sat me down with Rosaline.
She looked around to be in her forties and had sharp facial features, with dark brown shoulder length hair.
Her hazel eyes allowed me to feel safe with her.
I didn't feel safe around a man.
They arrested Lorenzo as he is held in questioning.
They also arrested Lorenzo's father, as he snuck me into the hospital by placing fake records of me and it is unknown to them if he knew about me or not.
I stayed overnight in the hospital as another doctor x-rayed my arm finding that my metacarpal bone was broken along with my scaphoid in my wrist.
They casted my wrist.
"Jayden?" Rosaline said, bringing me back to reality.
"Yeah. I'm sorry. What?"
"I need to know what happened the night you were kidnapped."
I sighed, running my left hand through my hair I took down to fall loosely over my back.
I nibbled on my lower lip in deep thought.
"I can't remember anything right now." I whispered as my mind continued to stay blank.
She nodded.
"Would you like breakfast first?" She asked.
I nodded, "Yes please."
I was starving. They took me into questioning before the hospital could bring me breakfast.
"Cinnamon roll and coffee sound good?" She asked.
"Yeah." I nodded.
"Okay, I'll go get it for you. Try to think for me Jayden."
She laid a pen and piece of paper in front of me.
"Just in case you remember something, you can write it down if need be."
I nodded.
She walked out of the room, leaving me in an eery silence.
We were at the police station.
A male officer picked me up early this morning and brought me here since my injuries weren't severe.
He had tried to talk to me but I couldn't talk to him.
I just couldn't.
The nurse gave me a pair of sweatpants and a sweater, helping me take a shower last night as she wrapped my cast for me.
I had washed all my foundation off.
She examined me to confirm that I had been forced sexually.
She requested for me to allow her to take pictures of my injuries for proof and I allowed her.

Lorenzo's fingers were bruised into my right arm, his hand print on my thigh.
There were bruises on my back from the table.
There was also the scar on my stomach from being punctured from the metal in the forest.
I grabbed the pen, my memory coming back.
'He broke into my room, held me down. I fought him off and my aunt heard the struggle, walking into the room. I got out of the room but he got her before she could, stabbing her to death. I ran from him, running to the neighbors. They refused to help me. I seen him so I got scared and ran farther down the road, to the old playground near my house. I hid behind the tree.'
What happened next??
I clenched my eyes shut.
He found me and tackled me, causing me to fall on the metal piece.
'He found me and tackled me, causing me to fall to the ground on a piece of metal with both of our body weight. I bit him and got away, running deeper into the forest and climbed a tree to get away from him.'
Rosaline entered the room, handing me a packaged cinnamon roll and coffee.
Nodded at the piece of paper, "I see you've remembered some things. Care to share?" She asked.
"You can read it." I stated, pushing the piece of paper towards her.
She took the piece of paper and began to read it as I slowly began to eat the cinnamon roll and drink the sugary coffee.
"The neighbors did report someone beating on their door. They claimed that it was a druggie next door. The next day the house burnt."
"Have you ever been on drugs?" She questioned.
I shook my head.
"No, never. My aunt did some drugs though."
"It also was recorded that you skipped school the day before the house burned and didn't attend the next day."
I nodded.
"Something happened at school... So I left."
"Jayden, you have to see that this looks bad on you. You go to school, sneak off and leave school, then get kidnapped? Are you sure you didn't run away with his man?"
"I did NOT leave with this man willfully. If I did why would I even come back if I wanted to run?? He stole me and held me against my will. He did things to me AGAINST MY WILL." I said angrily.

"Calm down Jayden, it's okay. You're here for questioning and that's all right now."
My eyes were watery as I burned with anger.
"What happened to me was wrong Rosaline. He was wrong and he deserves to be in prison." I stated.
She nodded, staring at me in sympathy.
"Tell me more."
____________________________________
I told Rosaline everything.
About the house being deep in the woods, me running away from him, and what he did to me.
She told me that she had talked with the nurse on the phone and they will have the photos printed off for court.
She also told me that I would have to talk to a specialists out what Lorenzo did to me to have it recorded.
She called my dad and he agreed to pick me up.
Anger for him and anxiety of seeing him again had me stressed out.
I was already aggravated from having to talk about everything that happened with Lorenzo for most of the day.
She told me I could stay in the questioning room until he showed up.
I heard a loud knock at the door, it opening directly afterwards.
"Jayden your father is here." Rosaline stated, stepping into the room with him behind her.
He looked at me in guilt.
"Come on Jayden." He stated, holding his hand out for me.
I stood up, ignoring his hand and walking past him. He followed me to the parking lot.
He unlocked his car, the sound going off.
I sat in the passenger side, him sitting in the drivers side.
He shut the car door, starting the car and turning the air in to relieve us from the heat as I was in a sweater in the warm weather.
"I'm sorry Jayden." He apologized.
"You did what you did with a clear head." I stated.
He nodded.
"I know. It was wrong. If I would have know what would have happen to you..."
"You would what? Feel sorry for me? Take me in like a stray dog?" I asked angrily.
He was quiet.
"Your birthday was last week." He stated.
Shock ran through my body, how did I miss that? Lorenzo didn't even tell me.
"You missed every single birthday I have ever had, and you just so happen to comment on the one when I was probably getting raped or was chained to a bed for most of the day."
"I'm sorry that happened to you." He whispered.
"I'm not asking you to forgive me Jayden. But I do want to be apart of your life. We could work on things maybe? I own another house that me and my wife started our life in. You can stay there and live there if you want. I can put it in your name."
He's giving me a house??
"So if I agree to live in the house, and allow you to give it to me, what then?" I asked.
"Nothing if you want it. But I can help you, you can't drive yet and you will need things. Please just let me be a part of your life Jayden. I feel terrible for what has happened to you."
I looked at him, his eyes were watery with guilt written all over his face.
"If I would have known your mother died... I would have took you. We argued all the time, we didn't work. I didn't know how to react when you arrived at my house... My wife was there and she didn't even know about you. I knew your mother would press charges if she knew I let you come and see me."
"So you ??" I growled.
He shook his head.
"I didn't mean to do that. I just didn't want you to come back."
"And now it's okay?"
"Please just let me make up for everything."
"Okay. You can put the house in my name and help me out. But I will never forget what you did to me." I stated, buckling my seat belt.
"I would not expect you too. I will take you to my house first to get you some things, my wife has many clothes she wouldn't care to give you some. You have an appointment in three days to talk to the specialist."
I looking out the window, remaining quiet for the rest of the ride to his house.
