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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQIbxhAWuU

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1He1PTekx

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD62zMJBE7O
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcqzFhjvzg
"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDSM18P6yZ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtZwfClBGF
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB6juIOA82
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Dk4CKyRA
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkUcuthMpI

"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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz8MQwU93Q

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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivk0TuzFZi
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3c3oC75jA
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EM4iZrNEX
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygrVfGQ4I8
"Because you wanted me to do it."437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n3TpLQC7E
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pv4w6CRTY
"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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPowvhmO9j

"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."437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVbm2dxuYj
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2Fa2pauym
With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw64MZQCex

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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXuaKD9QEK
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOG0pwcYUC
"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51SirwGdkX

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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqWvVqCKbD

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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOZH8qrPFM

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLiS5J3Old
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90USdpAhNW
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sYur3cBoo

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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ2LtlnPQw
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5WPc8qW8N
"Stop," I said, glaring at him.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCegnxn1Kbk

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."437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9CpF0hMPj
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjaSkSPW9e
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.437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml3t1S7acx
