The next time I opened my eyes, I thought I was blind. The bed I lay on creaked as I moved, and there was a smell of decay. My nose twitched and I felt my stomach turn. I wanted to throw up from the stench, but before I made any sort of decision, the door on the other side of the room opened, then closed. Footsteps came closer to me, and then stopped.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQN4SBa4Tp

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQEIy392s2

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQoKENx0t3

"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1izxOWJYH
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y4TKJgyI6
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ELltra4yg

"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbWxiPuPng

"But you just said you were going to kill me," I muttered angrily. I didn't want to die. But I wanted this fucker to make up his mind.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISbs9sVBtJ

He moved slowly, and his hand touched my neck, his fingers curling around my windpipe. He didn't press, just tested, but I didn't move a muscle. Then he leaned forward and his lips touched mine. It was only for a few seconds, but it was enough for me to not lose myself.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxHZCj4wP0

"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYvmPdUl47
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9BU0Z6eF
"Because you wanted me to do it."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN4mxySLrM

"How do you know that?" I said, sitting up slightly. I hated that I couldn't see his face. I wanted to know who I was talking to. Who knew this one particular secret about me. "Who are you?" I hissed.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpbc8GakNs

"Don't worry," he whispered. His hands were on either side of my body now, and he was on his knees in front of me. Again, he pressed his mouth to mine and I could taste something salty on his tongue. When he pulled away, I let out a slow breath. "You'll find out soon enough, Jared."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8SN23GIk2

With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60kNgTVC6T

I must have fallen asleep, because when I opened my eyes again, I could see the window and the sunlight streaming through it. The rotten smell from before was gone, replaced by a fresh scent, and I could now see that the room I was in looked very much like a teenager's; there were posters plastered to the walls, a computer in the far corner, and clothes thrown on the floor.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5yYqjVEXd

"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiqv7C44a5

I looked up into a part of deep blue eyes, almost sapphire, a crooked smile and dark hair. I blinked, trying to get my brain to work right, to remember that this guy, though handsome, was a kidnapper and possible killer.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj342maqVL

He sat down next to me and I could see that he was wearing a pair of ratty jeans and a band shirt. He wasn't facing me so I couldn't see the name on the shirt, not that it mattered.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDItF0IELQ

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavYkKbmkoG
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66lEH0XVXH
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7pfH5Txx9

He moved closer to me, his arm brushed mine. I wanted to get away from him, badly, but my body wouldn't let me. In the back of my mind, I wanted to know how he knew something so personal about me, when no one else knew. I didn't really advertise my being gay, so I didn't know how he figured it out.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jYZz37WL3

"Stop," I said, glaring at him.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nK3ArCggg

A smile tugged at the boy's lips before he lifted his hand and wrapped his fingers in my hair. "No," he said, his voice thick with sudden anger. "I won't. That's not what you want."497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KmX3FR0dj
497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sHYKjInym
What I wanted was something I was sure he wouldn't give me anytime soon. I didn't want to be on the outside anymore.497Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWwjbWrrAJ
