Song for this chapter: Animals by Maroon 5

My feet hurt like hell but I keep running. I have to get away from him.
I almost stop due to the pain being unbearable but then I see it.
A neon light reading 'Motel' and underneath it saying 'Rooms Available.'
I sigh in relief and start jogging again, as I now have a new motive.
I walk into the small place and am met with a foul odor resonating from the clerk.
"How may I help you?"
"I just need a room please."
"Thank god. You're the first person to get a room here in weeks. Ya know since we're a ways away from the city." He's from Ohio. Has to be.
"Oh yeah. I can't think of any other reason you wouldn't get any business." I say, sarcasm dripping from my words.
"So how many nights?"
"One night."
"Yes ma'am. Are you paying now or later?"
"When I check out if that's okay."
"Yes ma'am. Here's your room key. You'll be in room 308 on the third floor. Enjoy your stay."
"Thank you." I say, flashing a fake smile.
I'm happy to be away from Harry but I still have no clue where I am.
I guess I'll just call 911 when I get into the room. I make my way to the stairwell.
I ascend the stairs until I'm met with a giant red 'three' on the wall.
"Finally. God damn rundown place doesn't even have an elevator." I grumble to myself.
I trudge down the hallway, still being tired from running two miles here.
I finally see a crooked bronze plaque that reads '308.'
I smile and put my key in the lock and turn it.
I sigh and step in, shutting the door behind me.
I flip on the light.
There he sits. Right on the bed.
I turn and try to leave but he's too fast. He has me on the ground before my hand even closes around the knob.
"You're not getting away that easy."
I gulp.
"I-I'm sorry." He shakes his head and slams me on the bed.
"I can't believe you, disrespecting me like that."
He leans down and connects our lips but I don't move. It's impossible. How'd he find me?
"Kiss me back!" He yells, slapping my cheek.
I do as I'm told. I try to imagine it's not him. That he's my boyfriend. I can't even remember him but I sort of remember what he looks like.
"Open your eyes and look at me."
I do so and when I do he holds my chin place so I don't look away.
"You're mine, you got that?"
"Y-Yes sir."
He nods and begins to remove my shorts.
"No, Harry please!"
He doesn't listen. He continues to strip me down.
First my shirt. Then my bra. Then my panties.
Tears flow freely from my eyes. This isn't how I wanted to lose my virginity.
He unzips his pants and pulls them down along with his underwear.
"Harry please don't...Please."
He doesn't listen. Instead he lines himself up with my entrance. I shut my eyes, waiting for the pain.
"I-...I'm so sorry baby."
I open my eyes in shock.
"I wasn't supposed to hurt you...I didn't...I didn't mean to." He brings his hand up to touch my face but I flinch away.
He stops, staring at me intently.
He quickly shakes his head.
He collapses beside me and pulls my body into his.
"Do you wanna know why I took you?" I nod.
He laces our fingers together and begins.
"Three weeks before we met I was dumped by my girlfriend. She didn't tell me why. She just did."
"I'm sorry." And I kind of was. Being dumped is never fun. Even if you are a cannibal.
"Anyway, I was sad and that's why went to Kyler's party. I wanted to get drunk. So I did. Then I met you. When we first spoke, I was so happy. It was the first time I'd felt better since the breakup. You made me forget about her. I had been so lonely but when I heard your laugh, I fell in love. And then when I found out you were taken I...I was mad. Mainly at myself but also him. I was mad he wasn't treating you right. I was mad he left you there. Then he came back and he tried to get you to have sex with him and you just kept saying no. You looked terrified so I made a vow to protect you from him and everything else in the world."
"Are you serious?"
He nods, nuzzling his face into my neck.
"Harry stop. You're trying to make me feel bad for you. All I have is hate. I want to be back home."
"I'm not lying baby!"
"Yes you are! That's what all criminals do! They make their victims feel bad for them."
"I'M NOT LYING!"
He pins me to the bed and hovers over me, a hand on each side of me.
"Why don't you trust me?!"
"You kidnapped me!"
"You know why! I did it for you!"
"You did it for yourself! You're just selfish."
"No babe...please don't say that."
"It's true!"
"You don't know me! You don't know what I feel for you!"
"You don't know me either! You can't feel anything for me!"
"It was love at first sight!"
"Yeah I'm sure."
He kisses me again and I kiss back, afraid of getting slapped again.
"Why can't you ever shut up?" He mumbles as he pulls away.
His thumb comes up and plays with my bottom lip.
"Don't do this shit to me. I'm not supposed to fall for you. I didn't plan for this okay? I just...I want you to be mine. All mine."
"It's not going to happen Harry."
"Why not? Why won't you at least try?"
"You kidnapped me Harry! What don't you understand?"
"Why don't you understand I did it for your protection?!"
"Because I was fine! I didn't need to be protected! I was okay!"
"I'm sorry I just wanted to take care of you!"
I begin to cry.
"No please don't cry. Why are you crying?"
"I want to go home Harry. Please."
I begin to bawl.
"No, no, shh."
He falls beside me and pulls me on top of him.
He kisses my forehead and rubs my back.
"You'll be okay. You'll go back eventually."
"I will?"
"Mhmm. After I know you'll be safe."
"I'm safe now! I am!"
"I don't know that for sure."
"But I do! Isn't that enough?" He shakes his head and pecks my lips.
"Quit kissing me! Please. Just do that for me."
"Okay. I'll ask you every time okay? I'll only kiss you if you let me."
I nod. Maybe he's being truthful.
"Thank you."
He nods.
"Let's go to sleep, okay? We'll go back in the morning."
I nod, biting my lip.
"You're going to try to leave aren't you?"
"I couldn't if I wanted to, which I do. My feet and body hurt way too bad."
"I'll go out and get you some medicine in the morning. I'll grab breakfast too."
I nod.
"Okay go to sleep now baby."
He holds me tight to his chest so I can't move.
I know I can't do much so I decide to give in and fall asleep.
