My skin is crawling being away from Sydney. THough, I know why they're keeping us apart, but that doesn't mean I'm okay with it. I don't know if she's comfortable, or if she's scared. The thought of her being fearful makes me want to rip down the door and go search for her, but I know that won't look good for either of us.
Just as I take a deep breath, a cop walks in. Apparently, they had to find the largest guy they have and while this guy is much bigger than the two that brought me in, he still smaller than me.
He stops at the door and sizes me up, like he didn't expect me to be so big.
"How's Sydney? Is she okay?" I ask.
"She's fine, Mr. Ingleson. I'm Detective Greer," he says, sitting down.
We spend the next twenty minutes ot so going over how Sydney found me, the storm and using being trapped in the cabin. I tell about Stephen showing up, our trip to town, and to the cops showing up on our doorstep today.
"Any idea why Mr. Wyatt w

The door opens and Detective Greer steps in."Ms. Owens, you are free to go," he holds the door for me."And Axel?" I ask."He'll onl be a few more minutes. I suggest you decide, if you will be pressing charges, before you leave, while we still have Stephen here at the station," he says.I nod and follow him out past rows of desks. Only a few officers look up at me, and each one of their stares make me uncomfortable, but I'm not sure why. We walk to the front of the building and through a gate to the waiting area.On the other side of the room, I find Stephen and his dad arguing. Well, more like his dad going off on him. THey don't see me, so I take a few steps closer to hear what's being said. Yes, it's being noisy, but I want to know if they heard what I had to say."What the hell is wrong with you, Stephen? Cheating? I know I taught you better than that. If you wanted to break up, you know we would have helped her out, but stringing her on like that is wrong.""I know dad.""No, yo

.Today, we are on the road to Summersville. We're going to get Sydney's stuff, and I'm grateful her ex won't be there, as I want this to ne as easy for her as possible. We got up early and had breakfast in town, before heading out. After breakfast, Sydney hesitated getting in the truck, and when I ask why, she said she wanted to stare at the view for a bit. So, we leaned against my truck and I held her in my arms, as we stared down Main Street at the mountain we call home. It was a great start to the day. I haven't been to Summersville in years, not since before my parents died. I'm not looking forward to my trip to one of West Virginia's largest cities. Cities in general, set me on edge, but I do anything for my girl, and that includes vistiting Summersville. Hell, I know I'd move here, if it meant I got to keep her. It's like she knows how I feel about cities without me even saying it, because aas soon as we hit the city limits, she scoots even

"Hey, Axel? I call out for him as I come out of the bedroom.I just finished unpacking the last of my stuff, and I know he said he was going to start a fire and burn the trash and boxes. But I think he's worried, if he keeps the boxes around , I might try to pack them up again."Kitchen," he calls back.I pull the flattened box with the others by the door and walk straight to him. He wraps an arm around my shoulder as he finishes the sandwiches he's making for lunch."I'm done unpacking," I tell him.He stops and looks at me."You unpacked the books in the spare bedroom?""Yes, and my winter clothes in the closet, too. I put away my formal dresses as well though I'm not sure why I brought them.It's been three days, since we went to Summersville to get my stuff, and the moment we got home, Axel helped me organize where everthing would go. My winter clothes, formal clothes books and photoes all of it so I didn't have an excuse to not unpack anything.Since I packed everything in a rush

That cheating bastard! I've been lookig forward to this caming trip with my boyfriend, Stephen, for months. Months! He had been promising me a weekend away in the mountains to reconnect and unwind. So, when his phone goes off, I'm a bit annoyed. We were supposed to unplug. I left my phone in the car, but Stephen insisted on bringing his in case of an emergency. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now, I see he had other plans. As I sit here in the tent, while he's gathering firewood, I'm wondering when I became so gullible. Stephen has been cheating on me. For a while now, judging by how far back these texts with Roxy go. The most recent? Roxy: How boring is the family caming trip? I can spice it up for you. Attached is a photo of her tits. I'm not so pissed off that I can't admit she has a nice rack, but I am a bit vindictive. Me: Nice rack, but this isn't a family camping trip. I'm his girlfriend of a year now, but don't worry, after this he's all yours. I turn the ph

She’s so tiny. Petite and perfect. I’ve been living in the cabin in the woods for years, and I’ve been completely OK being alone. Until today. Until her. What kind of asshole left her out here in the woods? Don’t they know where the bears and wolves that could tear her apart in just one bite? Let’s not mention snakes and spiders that have enough venom to kill her in a single bite. What kind of person leaves anyone out in the woods like that? Glancing at the sky behind her I can tell we are running out of daylight and cold front with some heavy rain is coming in. I need to get her back to my cabin where she is safe. "Come, my cabin is up this way." I hold my arm out for her to follow me. I noticed she hesitates and rightfully so. She doesn’t know me and I wanted to overpower her I easily could. She’s right to be scared. "I promise, you will be safe with me. I have food and a fire to stay warm, and as soon as the storm passes, I’ll take you wherever you need to go." Though, t

He has been a sweatshirt thinking I’m cold and I decide to go with it and pullover sweatshirt on. His clothes are huge on me, but I don’t remember the last time I was so comfortable. They smell like him too and that seems to calm me and I don’t even know his name."Have you eaten?" He asked me. "Umm, no, I’m was going to make dinner, but when I get back to camp, everything was gone, including my clothes. Of course, Stephen didn’t check the weather and I guess he was going to have us camp out in this." I catch myself rambling and pressed my lips together. He smirks at me, before heading to the kitchen on the other side of the main room. Then, he pulls a container out of the fridge and gets what looks like soup, warming on a wood stove. I have never cooked on the wood stove, but I really hope I get the chance to, while I’m here. The kitchen looks like a rustic cabin kitchen with natural wood cabinets and dark countertops. There’s plenty of space to work, especially with the gigantic k

I take off the sweatshirt and I set it on the wood coffee table in front of me. I instantly feel better and not overheated in an effort to try desperately to hide. How turned on. I am a pull the shirt away from my chest.Because I’m preoccupied, I don’t realize he’s moving next to me, until he gently takes it in my hand in his and hold it out from him to look at it. He’s examining all the scratches on my arm from where I was setting up at the campsite. A crease forms between his eyebrows, and he glances at my other arm and stands "Come, I’ll get these cleaned up." Another command I don’t want to follow."Oh, they are fine. Just some scratches from setting up the campsite earlier." I wave him off even, as I stand to follow him wherever he’s leading me. "They could get infected and need to be cleaned," he insists."The ones on my legs are worse than this," I let slip, and worry crosses his face."Come on," he pulls my hand and I go with him to the bathroom.He holds my hand, all the
