Nathan
The front desk told me that Dr. Stevens was available and that I could just take her back myself since I'm an employee. I work with Dr. Stevens, or Stephanie as I call her, so I know exactly where her office is.
I knocked before entering her office. "Oh hi, Nathan. The front desk told me to be expecting you. What can I help you with?" She asked smiling politely at us. I sat down on a chair with Paige in my lap and explained the whole situation to her. I didn't leave anything out. Paige stayed silent and had a blank look on her face the entire time. She also had her face partially hidden in my chest, and she had my shirt tightly gripped in her hand. I think she's just in shock and she knows I'm her safe person at this moment. Poor girl, I'm going to do everything I can to help her recover and make her feel safe again.
Stephanie looked at Paige with a sympathetic smile after I was finished talking. "Alright Paige, Nathan here is going to step out, and then I'm just going to give you a little check-up and make sure everything is good. Is that okay with you?" She asked Paige softly. Paige nodded her head, but then she suddenly looked over at me with worry. "You're leaving? Are you going to come back?" she asked in a scared voice. I nodded my head as I hugged her to me. "Of course I'm coming back. I'm just going to leave the room while Stephanie does your exam. I'll be right out in the hallway the whole time. Once you're done, I'll come back in and I will take you home. Does that sound okay?" I explained. Paige nodded, seeming less scared now. I then stood up and carried Paige over to the examination table and made sure she was okay before I left the room.
Paige
As soon as Nathan left, the doctor kindly introduced herself to me as Stephanie. She seemed nice. I'm glad she's the one examining me and not a guy doctor. Stephanie helped me go behind the curtain and change into a gown and then lay down on the table. As she was examining me, she was being very gentle and making sure I was comfortable and feeling okay. "Sweetie, do you know if the man who took you used a condom or any protection when he forced you?" She asked carefully.
I felt my heart clench and my stomach churn. "No, he didn't," I whispered as tears streamed down my face. "I'm not on any birth control either." She looked at me sympathetically. "Oh sweetie, I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but everything will work out. If you start showing symptoms of pregnancy within a month or so, you'll have to come back for a blood test to see if you are," she said giving my arm a comforting squeeze.
I wiped my tears and nodded. Those cramps I was feeling last night could have been from him raping me, and not from my period. But I just need to breathe and not jump to conclusions. I might not even be pregnant. "Alright, we are all done. You seem healthy and everything looks good. I noticed the bruises on your thighs, and they aren't anything to worry about. They will just be sore for a couple of weeks. Nathan did a great job on your ankle, so that should also be healed in a few weeks," she informed me. I nodded. "Thank you," I said gratefully. She's been a great doctor and I felt very comfortable and safe with her.
"You're welcome sweetie," she said giving me a reassuring smile. "Alright good luck hun! I'll let you get changed back and then I'll go and get Nathan so you can get home," she waved before leaving.
Stephanie had handed me Xavier's clothes, but I couldn't get dressed myself. I needed to stand up in order to get this gown off, and I couldn't stand. Not even a minute later, I heard a knock. I was still in my gown, but I told the person to come in, and Nathan opened the door and walked in. "Ready to go?" He asked. But then he quickly noticed I wasn't changed yet.
I just burst into tears. I'm in a lot of pain with my ankle, and down there, and I felt so helpless. I couldn't even get dressed myself and it made me feel so weak and horrible. "I can't get the gown off or get dressed by myself, I'm sorry," I cried, hiding my face in my hands. I felt so vulnerable and I also felt guilty needing Nathan to help me get dressed for a second time now.
I soon felt Nathan hug me to his chest as he rubbed my back. "Sweetheart you do not need to apologize. Xavier hurt you, and now you are limited on things you can do on your own for awhile. That is not your fault, and you should not feel weak or embarrassed about it. I am happy to help you, and I don't want you to feel scared or ashamed about it, okay? Let's just get you dressed and ready and then I'll take you home. Does that sound okay?" He asked. I nodded. I was definitely ready. I wanted to be home and in my bed.
"Okay. Do you want me to start untying the gown on the top here? And then I'll get Xavier's hoodie ready for you to slip into right away?" Nathan asked. I slowly nodded, giving him the okay to start untying the top of the gown. Once it was untied, the top half of it fell down into my lap, exposing my bra covered upper body. I know I was wearing a bra, but I'm still in a very fragile mental state, and I felt scared being like this in front of anyone. I felt a few more tears slip out as those feelings started to arise.
But Nathan was very quick to slide the hoodie over my head and help me get my arms through the sleeves. He then paused for a moment to allow me to recollect myself. He rubbed my back and wiped my tears as he patiently waited for me to calm back down. "Take your time sweetheart, I'm right here with you, you're safe," he reassured gently. I took some deep breaths and wiped the rest of my tears before nodding.
"Okay, ready sweetheart? This next step is going to be a little more uncomfortable, so just let me know if you get too scared and need me to stop," he said softly. I nodded.
Nathan grabbed Xavier's sweatpants and slid them over my feet and up to my knees. Then he lifted me off the table and set me on my good foot. "So I just need you to stand on your good foot and lift your injured one so there's no weight on it," he started off explaining. I followed those instructions and he held onto me for balance support. "Okay now you can hold onto my shoulders for support while I pull the sweatpants up the rest of the way." My heart hammered nervously at this, but I knew Nathan wouldn't do anything.
So I reached up and held onto his shoulders as he leaned down and grabbed the hem of the sweatpants, pulling them up over my hips. He then untied the bottom half of the gown and pulled it off my fully clothed body. He then lifted me back onto the table so he could put some of those comfy grippy socks on my feet. "Your feet were freezing when I was putting your sweatpants on, so I figured you could use the socks," he explained with a smile, trying to lighten the mood.
I offered him a small smile back. I didn't have any socks or shoes on when I got kidnapped, so these grippy socks were nice to have. I was now ready to go, so Nathan picked me up in his arms and walked us out of the hospital.
He set me down in the passenger seat of his truck and covered me with the blanket again before driving me home. Turns out, the house Xavier took me to was only 30 minutes from my own home. I felt immense happiness and relief at the sight of my house. I waited anxiously in my seat for Nathan to take me inside. Once Nathan came around and opened my door, I practically jumped into his arms to be carried in. He chuckled lightly. "Excited are we?" He laughed. I nodded my head vigorously.
Once we reached my front door, Nathan set me down on my good foot and kept an arm around my waist to steady me. I reached up inside the hanging light by the door and pulled out the house key. I twisted the key in the lock and pushed the door open. I then let Nathan pick me up and showed him where my room was. He brought me to my room and set me on the bed. "Alright, there are some things we need to talk about," he said seriously. I nodded for him to go on.
"I'm going to plant a tracking device in Xavier so we can keep tabs on his location at all times. That way, we will know if he's near you and you will be able to avoid those locations and stay away from him," he stated. It's a good idea, but I won't feel safe until I know we can keep tabs on Xavier. "I'm going to his house right now and I'm going to knock him out and put it in him so he doesn't know. I need your phone number so I can call or text to alert you if he were to come anywhere near you," he said.
I nodded and put my number into his phone. "Thank you, Nathan, for everything. I don't know what would've happened if you didn't come and get me out of there," I said as I gave him a tight hug. "It's no problem sweetheart. I'm happy to help anytime okay?" He hugged back. I nodded and pulled away. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car door slamming shut right outside. I looked at Nathan in alarm and he shared the same expression as me.
He sprinted to my window and looked out to see. "He's here," He whispered. Tears started pooling in my eyes and rolling down my cheeks. Nathan quickly came and held me hand comfortingly as he explained. "Listen carefully. I promise that nothing is going to happen to you. Xavier is going to come in here and try to talk to you, so I need to you talk back to him and distract him so I can sneak up and knock him out, okay? He shouldn't know that I'm here since I parked a little way up the street," he said quickly before running to my closet and hiding in there.
I pulled my knees into my chest and waited. I was terrified. I didn't want Xavier anywhere near me, but I trust Nathan, so I have to do this. We never locked the door when we came in, so I heard Xavier just come right in the front door and start running up the stairs. I put my head down on my knees as he got closer. I didn't want to look at him. My bedroom door squeaked open and I could feel the vibrations of his footsteps on the floor go up through my bed.
I shook involuntarily. I could feel him standing right in front of me. "Babygirl please look at me." I jumped as I heard those words and felt his hands start gently caressing my back. I slowly raised my head to look up at him. He was knelt on the floor in front of me, gently rubbing my back and arms to calm me down. "What do you want?" I asked timidly as a few tears escaped my eyes.
I watched his eyes follow the tears down my face, a look of guilt and sadness crossing his features. "Sweetheart please don't be scared. I know I did terrible things to you and I'll never forgive myself for it, but I had to see you and talk to you to make sure you're okay," he said softly, holding my face in his hands. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Nathan was starting to come out of the closet.
I need to say something to keep Xavier distracted. "You know you didn't use protection right?" I asked quietly. He locked eyes with me, a knowing look settling onto his face. "I have to go back to the doctor in a month to see if I'm pregnant or not," I whispered, more tears escaping. Nathan was getting closer now and there was no way Xavier was going to look away from me now that I had dropped that news on him.
To keep his attention locked on me, I started crying harder and put my head down in my hands. "Shhhhhh, it's okay sweetheart. I know you're young, but if you are pregnant, I'll help you through this and everything will be just fine," he soothed as he hugged me to him. Nathan was right behind him now and had a syringe in his hand ready. I hesitantly hugged Xavier back to keep him still, and that's when Nathan quickly injected the syringe into Xavier's side.
Xavier jerked back and turned around to face Nathan. He was still standing tall and not faltering at all. Why isn't he knocked out? The drug should be working. "Nathan, what in the hell did you just do?" Xavier questioned slowly. Maybe it is working, it's just taking a while to fully set in. "Sit down Xavier. You're going to be out any second now and I don't want you falling and hitting your head okay?" Nathan replied, motioning for Xavier to sit down on the floor.
"Did you just drug me? Why would you do that?" Xavier asked, his eyes starting to droop. "I wasn't just going to let you come here and take her again. Or traumatize her even further. Xavier the poor girl is scarred and traumatized for life, and might even be pregnant at only 17 years old! I'm not letting you come near her anymore," Nathan said firmly. Xavier was slowly sitting himself down on the floor as they spoke.
"But what if she is pregnant? I'll have to be a part of the kid's life, it's my kid!" He slurred out. "No Xavier. That's not how this is going to work. IF she is pregnant, she is going to get the support through other people, not you. You won't get to see the baby or Paige. You ruined that by kidnapping and raping her, and then trying to rape her AGAIN!" Nathan angrily stated, glaring down at him.
Xavier didn't reply. He was passed out on the floor. Nathan walked around him and picked me up off the bed and set me on a chair near the door. "Stay here, I'm going to get the tracker implants from my car and inject it in him," Nathan said as he ran out of the room. He came back a couple of minutes later with a case of tools and techy-looking gadgets. Who knew doctors were into this stuff! I watched as Nathan injected the tracker into Xavier's shoulder and felt a sense of relief at the thought of Nathan being able to track Xavier's every move.
Once Nathan finished with the tracker and cleaned up any sign of it, he turned to me and spoke. "When he wakes up, he likely won't leave for a long time in hopes of you coming back here. So I'm going to pack you some stuff and take you somewhere safe," he said as he grabbed a duffel bag and started packing all my clothes and other essentials.
Once everything I needed was packed, Nathan grabbed me and the bag and carried us out to the truck. He started the truck and began driving kinda fast. "The drugs didn't work on Xavier as I had hoped. He's a really tall and muscular guy, so the drugs won't last long on him at all. I need to get you out of here before he wakes up and starts searching," Nathan said. He sounded stressed and it made me feel guilty. I feel like it's my fault that he's been dragged into this and he's having to babysit me and fight his own brother.
"Once I get you to a safe place, I'll keep you updated and visit you as much as I can to make sure you're okay. I'll explain everything to your parents and tell them to be very careful about communicating and visiting with you as to not let Xavier know anything about your whereabouts," he spoke. It seems like he's thought all this through already.
"I have a friend a few hours from here, and he owns a very nice building and there may be a condo available for you there. I'll call and see what he can do for you," Nathan said. "Thank you so much, Nathan. You really don't have to take the time to do all that," I looked down guiltily. "Don't worry about it sweetheart okay? I'm happy to help you and make sure you're safe," he replied smiling over at me.
1 year later
Paige
It's been a year since Nathan helped me escape from Xavier. That day Xavier came back for me at my house, Nathan took me to a condominium where they had one open spot left. He brought me there and said that the hospital he works for has another facility in this city. He was nice enough to make some calls and land me a job there for me too. It pays well and even leaves me with quite a bit extra after all my bills have been paid.
When Nathan left that day, he promised to come and see me every month or so to see how I'm doing. He also said he would tell my parents about everything that has happened once they had gotten back from their trip. My parents were extremely upset and guilty about leaving me alone and letting this happen to me, but I made sure to tell them that it wasn't their fault and I don't blame them at all. It could have happened to anyone.
They are allowed to leave their 17-year-old home alone, all parents do it. But now they have faithfully been visiting me at least once a month and they usually show up more than that. Even though they live a few hours from me now, they are happy to take the time. My mom and dad have also been worried about my health every time they see me. They say I look like I've lost weight each time they see me, and it's probably true. I've been having anxiety and I fear Xavier is going to find me again somehow. I haven't been able to sleep or keep food down very well because I'm just scared and anxious all the time. Even though Nathan had planted a tracker in Xavier and had been keeping tabs on him, I still feel uneasy.
I was currently sitting in my living room watching tv when I heard crying coming from the other room. I got up to go and get my baby from her crib. Yes, that's right. I have a baby. I found out I was pregnant about month after Nathan brought me here. At first, I was extremely depressed and devastated about it, but then I realized the baby was innocent and I could take care of it on my own. Keeping her was definitely the best decision I ever made.
I walked into my baby's room and saw her lying there waving her little arms and legs in the air. I picked her up and cradled her in my arms. My little Lena. I have always loved the name Lena, so it only made sense for me to name my baby girl that. She is almost 3 months old and I'm currently on maternity leave from work, but it's almost time for me to go back. I'm worried about leaving her anywhere that isn't with me. She hasn't been away from me at all since she was born. I worry about Xavier finding me and finding out about Lena and I don't want to leave her at a daycare or anything. I worry too much.
I'm working on trying to work from home since most of the stuff I do at the hospital can be done from home. Maybe I'll get Nathan to convince them for me since he knows my situation and will understand. I carried Lena out to the living room and fed her while I watched tv. Once she was full and asleep, I put her in her little pack n play in the living room and laid down on the couch next to it. I felt exhausted and I needed a nap too. It only took a couple of minutes, and by then I was knocked out.
I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door. Maybe it's my parents? They usually come at the end of every month. I got up and opened the door and felt my heart stop at the sight in front of me. I was frozen in my spot and couldn't move. "Hey, sweetheart. It's been a while," he said softly, looking down at me with a sad smile. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice quivering. I was so scared. I hadn't seen his face in a year, and I never thought I would see it again. I then felt betrayed almost. Nathan never warned me that Xavier was coming. Why would he do that? "Baby I came to see you. I love and missed you so much, it's been killing me this past year not seeing you," he said as he stepped forward into my apartment.
"Bu-but how did you find me?" I stuttered fearfully. "Shhhhh baby don't be scared okay? Everything's okay, I'm here now. You and the baby are coming to move in with me and we're all going
