It’s that time again everyone! Thank you to all of those who recommended the last chapter and even left me comments over at my forum! It’s people like you that motivate me to get these chapters out as quick as I do! I have also set up a website dedicated to this story over here http://myguardianangelblog.blogspot.com/
Anyway I’d suggest reading the previous chapters so it makes sense but here is the quick re-cap, in the past few days Rachel has lost her best friend, seen visions of her dead mother, decided she hates her father, was tricked into drinking spiked drink and almost sexually abused by 2 bullies and has now collapsed due to it all and lack of sleep, Taylor a mysterious young man, who is somehow linked to Rachel found her and brought her to his house!
When I awoke I had no idea where I was…. The house looked run-down, kind of like this house I had seen in the neighbourhood, but I had never been here before…
Normally you would be scared right? Well I didn’t feel scared, my head was hurting like made and I couldn’t remember much, but I remembered who saved me, Taylor, I couldn’t remember his face, but I knew I was safe with him…
The bright light of the bed side lamp, hurt my head and I couldn’t see well, but I had to figure out where I was, so I got up…
I couldn’t help but rub my eyes… how long was I unconscious for? There was a calendar on the wall of the room…. It was on May, so I was out for at least 2 days! Even more strange, I still felt tired… what happened to me?
And then I remembered…. I remembered his hands all over me, his lips pressed roughly into mine, the way I was abused so a sick pathetic evil cow could get a laugh out of me and humiliate me….. He almost raped me! If Taylor hadn’t called out to me…. Taylor…. I needed to see him…
It felt so good to just lie in the bathwater… it was cold as the hot tap didn’t work very well but I didn’t care…. I felt filthy… filthy with Darren all over me and I had to erase the memory from my body and my mind…
I had mixed emotions as I got dressed in to my new wardrobe, I didn’t know WHY I had to change, but I trusted Taylor…. I was amazed that somehow he managed to get me an outfit that looked nice and fit me perfectly!
I looked at myself in the mirror… I looked really nice with my new hairstyle, but it just wasn’t me…. Why did I have to change everything about me? That’s when I heard a lot of noise from downstairs… it sounds like pots and pans moving around, then I smelled something…. I was so hungry… I hadn’t eaten in days! So I ventured down the stairs…
The rest of the house was just like I expected… it looked run down and although the furniture was nice you could tell it was old…. That’s when I looked in front of me and saw him.
Even from the back I questioned myself ‘How could I have forgotten his face?’ I couldn’t believe he was cooking though… I mean he didn’t seem like that kind of guy… was he just perfect in every single way? I didn’t want to disturb him, I just wanted to watch him, what sort of relationship do we have anyway?
Taylor’s POV
I felt that she had woken up, and I could feel her beautiful hazel brown eyes on me now…. I still haven’t gotten over what she said 2 days ago…. ‘She loves me?’ How could she love me? I had caused all of this to happen, because of me she lost her best friend, and properly her siblings to, I knew she disliked her adopted mother… the problem was how could I tell her that I loved her back? I knew that nothing could ever happen between the 2 of us… Well I had better make sure she is OK before anything else…
“OK, food’s ready! Although, I think I overcooked it a ‘LITTLE’ bit. I may have felt like a fool, but seeing a bit of colour rush through her eyes as she tried unsuccessfully not to giggle, made me smile inside, and out.
Rachel’s POV
OK, I didn’t want to admit it. But the food was AWFUL. It was so awkward as well… I was really hungry so I just kept eating, while looking at him, he seemed to be doing the same…. I wanted to ask him where I was and how he found me, but my head hurt so much I just appreciated the silence…
Suddenly he coughed hard, choking on his own food, it was impossible not to laugh!
Then he gave me one of his cheeky smiles and said ‘You can stop eating it any time you know, I don’t mind, I can order pizza?” Bless him! Of course I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, so I responded ‘No, it’s fine really, I think you just ate it to fast!” He gave me the most amazing smile…
It REALLY wasn’t that bad…. OK, it was. I made a mental note ‘Always volunteer to make the food around here’
As I got up to wash our plates, he held me gently by the shoulders and looked in to my eyes… “What’s wrong?” How did he know? I didn’t remember everything, but I knew the last few days had been tough… I couldn’t remember what but a big hole had been left in my heart, a big part of my soul ripped from my essence, I broke down in his arms…
We didn’t say anything, he just held me gently, he just let me cry while gently stroking my hair, I felt so at peace and so safe with him, I wanted to tell him everything, so I did. I told him how I couldn’t really remember anyone…. Everything was a big blur and when I tried to remember all I felt was pain…
Taylor’s POV
I felt so bad for her, all I could do was try to comfort her... it pained me when she told me she couldn’t remember her brother and sister’s faces…. Then she said someone important had walked out of her life, I knew she was talking about Oliver… how could she have forgotten him? I could feel how close they were…
I didn’t even realise I was holding his hand, I don’t know if I grabbed his, or if he held mine to comfort me, but I didn’t care, I didn’t pull away…. Something felt nice being close to him…
Suddenly he pulled away from me like I burned him or something…“Want to watch TV for a while?”
“Um… sure.” What had happened… had I done something wrong?
He let me sit in the comfy chair, but did he do that so I didn’t sit near him… had I given him the wrong idea?
Taylor’s POV
I could feel her gaze on me…. I didn’t want to pull away from her…. Truth was I wanted to pull her in closer to me, but after all she has been through lately, not to mention what I caused, I know I should help her get back to full health and then say goodbye for real… even though I really didn’t want to… Suddenly she let out a little sob “Can I sit with you?”
She seemed really scared of what we were watching, but I didn’t think it was that bad, then I realised why it affected her so much, a young girl was being abandoned by her father… I know even though she didn’t remember much about it, somehow she knew that was what happened to her, so I changed the channel, she was shaking….
Rachel’s POV
I didn’t know why, but that film really affected me… why had I cried when the man ran away from his little girl? I didn’t have time to think as Taylor’s flipped the channel to a comedy… he kept looking at me with the smile that always made me smile, he was trying to cheer me up! It’s like we were 2 half’s of the same person.
I had that horrible feeling again…. This time it was worse… I had to hold my head and lean over to hold my stomach, I was in pain everywhere… I felt empty and broken, all when these 2 kids, said how close they were and that they would be friends forever, did I have a best friend like that?
Taylor’s POV
I don’t know why I did it, it just seemed the best thing at the time…. “You look cold, want to lean into me to keep warm? I’ll keep you safe I promise...”
I instantly cheered up when I was in his arms…. He was warm, strong and almost made me completely forget about the agonising pain I was in moments ago, being with him wasn’t like me and Darren. I liked Taylor, and I might even love him… he treated me right and didn’t spike my drink, I felt safe with him…
It was amazing how that contact with her made me feel…. I had been worried about hurting her, trying to keep my distance, but having her in my arms was the best thing that ever happened to me! We had both been through so much and I loved being close to her…. I knew it was the wrong thing to do and I would regret it later…. But at that moment, I didn’t think about the consequences…
I looked at him….
I looked at her….
“Thank you for everything Taylor…”
“I would do anything to keep you safe Rachel…”
I didn’t know what I was doing…. I leaned in and was about to kiss him when the news report on the TV demanded my full attention!
“Local girl aged 16, kidnapped! Rachel Morgan has been missing for 3 days now and police are growing worried!”
OMG! Kidnapped? No, I was with Taylor, right?
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing…. So called ‘experts’ predicted I only have hours to live because someone had likely kidnapped me…. But I was safe, I was with Taylor, the most caring guy in the world. They showed this family and immediately I recognised my adopted family… I missed them…well Kris and Jasmine at least…
“Why didn’t you tell me anything?” I don’t know why, but I was angry at Taylor, “Why didn’t you tell me you knew I cared about my brother and sister? Why didn’t you tell me we were hiding because you ‘kidnapped me’ exactly who am I anyway?” He looked crushed at what I was saying, but I couldn’t remember anything… I was so confused and my head started to burn again…. He tried to help me to the bedroom. “No!” I screamed and walked up the stairs by myself.
Taylor’s POV
I didn’t blame her for what had just happened…. I almost kissed her! I’m SO STUPID! Why had I let me feelings interfere… I should have told her everything she told me, who she was…. And who I was…. But I didn’t think she could handle it…. And now she properly didn’t trust me..
I was crying and fading… I didn’t want to fall asleep… I was remembering so much about myself…. Why had I forgotten anyway? Maybe this is what Taylor wanted? Maybe he HAD kidnapped me? No! He would never do that, would he? As my eyelids closed I relieved that news report…
I saw my family… my sister was so upset she couldn’t speak to the interviewer.. she was really worried, she could always speak to the cameras… it’s why she wanted to be an actress, so Kris told everyone what I had looked like… tears were also in his eyes…
He broke down on screen and cried along with my sister… he blamed himself because he hadn’t seen me the morning after I talked to him late at night… I wanted to call him, tell him I was OK… I would have to talk to Taylor about it in the morning…
Tasmin on the other hand was more concerned of looking her best for the camera’s…. telling everyone all the ‘good times’ we had and that all she wanted was me back… what a load of rubbish! I hated her so much at this point! But I had more important things to worry about…
Chris and Amanda were crying…. How could they do this to them? It wasn’t fair! Did the police not even ask around? Sure he was officially the last person I had been seen with but that didn’t make him a killer….
Oliver. How could they suspect that you could harm me? All you have ever done is look out for me, and make sure I was safe and happy…How did I let you go? How could I have forgotten you? I know you only did what you did because you cared about me, but the truth is it’s hurting me that you’re NOT in my life…. And I won’t let you get arrested over me…
I remember the words he screamed at the camera crew…
“I DIDN’T DO IT! I would NEVER hurt Rachel she is the BEST THING TO HAPPEN IN MY LIFE! You NEED to find her!”
Even after he is being blamed, even after I hurt him, even though he told me he wouldn’t think about me anymore, he was still trying to save me, I never realised how much Oliver meant to me until that moment, did I like him as something more than a friend? He still cared about me! That one thought was all I needed...
Then I woke up…. “I have to save him.”
And this is where I leave you, I know it’s a bit slow, but after the last chapter I think Rachel deserved a nice day alone with Taylor….. Hope you enjoyed and will contact me either here on my forum http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/193631.page or on my BlogSpot page which I mentioned earlier…. Expect a update possibly tonight or tomorrow!
