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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7goBn9TfgW

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFREcRjJvLo

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7BkE73pSE

"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75afahz5Jk

"How long have I been here?" I demanded.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YgASmVU30
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFaEqUtMuU
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d7RTUjDQl

"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHk4lS2m2R

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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMjqY1KosQ
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAe3Nvvmzg
"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwX3HgNzGc
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfa3HJYJbD
"Because you wanted me to do it."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisXlyvQPb8

"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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ236GpWivcv

"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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKSqMV9JbS

With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoWF8vrUsr

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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAog9J4Uem

"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiMhE3Uoek

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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLygNpAjBJ

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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvSlI7I8pj

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYhZFv2ayi
448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lj6tvdVk5
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS3BWIh94x

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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrIJSjtGFQ

"Stop," I said, glaring at him.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9xsV0B8Ho

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."448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXVL87nFTB

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.448Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYYLBmOcgI
