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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsdpxFh1mi

The first words out my mouth were, "What the fuck is that smell?"483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIwm5uWEBS

The mattress sank as the stranger sat down. Then they chuckled. It was definitely a male.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIItVW3pKj

"You're worried about the smell and not whether you'll live long enough to see the sunrise?"483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsED4azQSV
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCx7wG5D4b
"How long have I been here?" I demanded.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wcghRj8i4
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CeZmfNqN8
"Not long," he said. "I'm still deciding what to do with you as it stands."483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSxjadSBFG

"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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7310khCFmp

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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMgWUgoSBy

"Why did you do that?" I asked, my voice calm, though inside I was terrified.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqmS9A3Jmi
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT34NISlzvj
"Because you wanted me to do it."483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDuXoQgpqg

"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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTJUq6Md88

"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."483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PkH6Cdvb8

With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me to do nothing but stare into the darkness.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPhaTP6SAF

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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs7Gjk97mj

"Are you comfortable?" asked a voice.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL6WdtrjK3

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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZ4J9B5jY

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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8LEQn7aTW

"You're still wondering what you're doing here, aren't you?" he asked, turning his head. He was smirking at me.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrrsmmDkU8
483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlKFmcLQKr
"No, I thought I'd just ignore the fact that I was fucking kidnapped." I rolled my eyes.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjCz7K7MR9

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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU14al0Dbf

"Stop," I said, glaring at him.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvbwS1wSyN

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."483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF2BS8oR8o

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.483Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGpXHFOnyp
