Chapter Twenty Five
I know I have to try something, anything but if I mention it, he will stop me, sitting quietly, I don't say anything else, grabbing my laptop, Jackson watches I open Facebook, searching I find his profile, clicking the message button, taking a deep breath I begin typing.
"Max, where is Liam? What is it you want, seriously, I just want Liam home safe" Sitting waiting for his reply, it doesn't seem to be coming, the police arrive, taking the note and Jacket, asking questions after questions, but I am useless, I was too tired to even realise it was not Jackson, the police left, and nothing was really done, they said they would search for him but honestly if it is Max he will be hidden somewhere.
"Georgina, are you okay here with Alena while I get a few guys and look for him myself? Keep the door locked and the key in the lock" He looked at her.
"Sure, you might as well go Jackson, you'll me more useful than the police, I won't let her leave" She is smiling but clearly hurting.
"I will find him Alena" Jackson kneeling in front of me his lips kissing me, standing up he took out his phone dialing a number and lifting it to his ear.
"Marcus, I need your help" His voice disappearing through the door as he left, Georgina locking it behind him. Sitting back down, she put the tv on, the noise was not really helpful, sitting here doing nothing is not helpful, grabbing my phone I sit back down, nothing, no reply at all from Max, what does he want, why won't he reply? Sitting we stay quiet for so long, my phone buzzing, picking it up expecting it to be Jackson, a message from an unknown number.
"Meet me here, be alone" The message has a map attached, opening it, I know where to go, Georgina is looking at me, expecting an update.
"Nothing yet, he said he'll keep us updated though, so not to worry"
Sitting back, I get comfy, my mind taking a mental note of the address, surely, she needs to leave me alone soon. Waiting for what seems like ages, she finally got up, walking into the toilet, grabbing my coat I snoop out, heading straight for the address, running most of the way, I can only hope Liam is okay.
Arriving outside the building looking in, I feel a sense of danger, of course there is going to be danger, it is Max, should I really do this, should I just wait and tell Jackson, but if he sees Jackson I have no idea how he will react.
Bracing myself, I push open the doors, walking inside, pure blackness, walking further inside, I can't help but shake, I can't see a thing, my eyes are trying to adjust but there isn't enough light to. Walking in a feel like I have been walking at least a minute and still not reached anyone or a light.
"Alena, Alena run" My body running towards the voice, no, stopping I remember this, it is my dream, I now know that man in the dream is Liam, I also know something hurts me and knocks me out, if I go in I may never get out again. I have to try to help him, though, scared I walk forward towards the voice, I can't see anything, it feels like this room never ends, fear crippling me as I get deeper inside Max's lure.
Finally, my eyes can see a dark figure on the floor, stepping closer I catch a glimpse of his face, Liam, my eyes light up seeing him, somebody grabbing me from behind making me scream, kicking I try to escape, but I can't, something sharp digging into me, falling to the floor in pain, crawling to Liam, he looks a mess, this is my fault.
Max has done this to him, turning, bracing myself to come face to face with Max for the first time in years, I can't let him win. I need to face him, show him I am not afraid of him anymore. Turning I see my attacker, my body going into shock, it isn't Max, it isn't even a man.
"Jessica, what on earth are you doing?" Why is she here?
"Alena, how come you're calling her Jessica?" Liam's voice quiet, his eyes looking at me confused.
"This is Jessica, Daz's girlfriend, I don't get it what did we do, I thought we got along great!" Is this all because Daz likes me? It seems a little crazy, but why else would she be here trying to hurt us? She moved closer to me, leaning down.
"Alena, move away from her" Looking at Liam, I don't get it what is going on? Turning back to face her, her spit hitting me in the face.
"You slept with my fiancé!" Her scream loud, I am confused, who the hell is her fiancé?
"I have not been near Daz if that is who you mean, I don't even know who your fiancé is" What have I done? She is laughing, so loud like I am crazy. Liam is trying to pull me closer to him, I can't move back, I need to know what I have done, his arm pulling me hard.
"It's Caroline" His voice quiet, her eyes shooting at him, yet when she looked at him, she has remorse, her eyes flicking back to me full of hate and anger. Caroline is Jacksons ex they were engaged, I actually feel sorry for her.
"Caroline, I am sorry, I had no idea it was you" I need to try explaining, what do I say?
"You slept with him, I've been watching you both, I should just kill you and get it over and done with" She really is crazy, I mean like crazy, crazy, I thought Max was, but this is just a whole new level.
"Jackson wouldn't forgive you if you did, he still loves you Caroline, I can see it when he told me about what happened with Tallulah" My voice quiet, trying to reason with her, he did still love her, how much I don't know, but even I could tell he did, watching her face twist, I realise mentioning Tallulah was the worst thing I could possibly do.
"Don't you ever mention my daughter's name again" She was angry, worse than before, picking me up, she threw me across the room, my body hurts so much I can barely breath, I can feel the blood running down my side, my hand holding where it hurts, realising she has stabbed me, crap this is where I die.
Laughter escaping my lips, I can't stop it, I have gone from being beaten by someone I loved and hating it, to enjoying being tied up, and now I am about to die with Liam tied up, the irony. Her head turned, her glare telling me she is ready to rip my head off, Liam looking at me like I am crazy, maybe I am, maybe this was what was needed to tip me over the edge, to make me go as crazy as she is, if I am going down I may as well make it good.
"If you wanted Jackson that much, why did you hide? Why did you watch us get closer and closer why didn't you just show yourself and take him?" She is a fool, I won't sit quietly while she hurts me
"You think you're special because he took you to his business, because he showed you Seductive Vibrations, No Darling, he takes all his little fucks there" Her words cold, I wonder if it is true.
"What the hell is Seductive Vibrations?" Liam looking at us both waiting for an answer, well Jackson has no choice but to tell Liam about it now. Now my mind is wondering was Jackson saying the truth when he said there was no one after Caroline?
"Why would you take Liam, he is Jackson's brother do you not think you have hurt Jackson enough with Katie? Now you're planning to hurt his brother" My eyes looking into hers, I don't care if I make her angry now.
"No, I don't want to hurt Liam, I have not laid a finger on him, I didn't mean to hurt Katie, that was an accident, I really did love her like a sister" Looking at her, I can't help but feel sorry for her, I can't help but feel her pain she honestly didn't want to hurt Katie.
"Caroline, I am here, so just leave go get Jackson back if you want him that much, You know he's out looking for Liam right now, if you wait too long he won't ever come back to you" I mean it's nice, clearly she doesn't think so her body lunging at me, her fists hitting me over and over, my arms trying to protect me as best as I can, okay so I can't mention Jacksons name or Liam's or anyone's because she gets angry.
"You don't think I already know that, I need to get rid of you first so there's no way he'd be able to look at you again" She is moving away from me, my body hurts, I can hardly move, looking around the windows are all boarded up. She sits in front of us, just watching, looking at Liam I want to comfort him, say sorry for being such a shitty friend.
"I didn't want to do this, I honestly thought you would see what he was like and decide that isn't for you, I sat smiling when I followed you to Seductive Vibrations for the first time, waiting for you to run, then you didn't you actually stayed there all night" Her head is shaking as she tries to work out what she should say next.
"Then I realised, he is willing to hide himself for you, keep that part of his life hidden from you, that was not the issue. The issue is, I can see it in you, you will give him what he wants and needs unlike me and there will be no way I can win him back then" She looks hurt, scared and angry, why do I feel sorry for her when she is doing this. Sitting there she looks up to Liam.
"Tell him I am sorry, for what I am about to do, for Katie and for leaving" Liam looks at her shocked, is she going to leave?
"I will, just walk away and I will tell him Caroline, then you have a chance of getting him back" Liam's voice soft, she smiles at him, a menacing laugh escaping her twisted smile.
"You think I am going to let her go? No, that is why I said say sorry for what I am about to do" Standing up she walked closer to him.
"I really did feel like part of the family" She turns looking at me and starts walking off.
"Don't even think about trying to get out, I'm coming straight back" She turned walking away quickly, struggling over to Liam, I pull him.
"Can you get free Liam?" Looking at him he didn't move, so I am guessing not.
"No, I have been trying all weekend, she put something in my drink, she brought me here. I remember her saying something about Jackson being hurt, I woke up chained like this" Looking around I can't see anything, I can't find anything to use.
"Get out Alena, Get out now! It's you who shewants to hurt, so run" His hand rubbing my cheek gently, he was right, shewon't hurt him, she doesn't want to hurt Jackson and hurting Liam would.
