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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCkT68628n

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBs3BKdZwa

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0PsLnEPmE

"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeubE92oVVb

"How long have I been here?" I demanded.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gPMlew7gd
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb4vxObhtT
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlMqtnaD3a

"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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSUpfo6raB

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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFkdtwO4YI
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jb8praD99
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34vVRHwkNI
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTQuILTGrN
"Because you wanted me to do it."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPteZJXE3V1

"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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEYBsuwv3P

"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."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjy1YxBCVap

With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaJXIwBLhp

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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIEeOGMWp9
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eF3mceDf6
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRLnxSqIzI

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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyNE32LlzN

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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEj0ZFB7As

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSRgYdxJM5
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTUqkfOtah
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cvexJWxLh

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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL7BkOsbCa
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVng5YdVUM
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqhO3sy03L

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."248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE72etcLfhF

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.248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GTauKzsDe
