001: Last 5 years

chapter 1:LAST 5 YEARS           

 

5 years ago...

 

Jessie was 13 years old, she and her friends planned to have a slumber party at a hotel in the town.

 

"Jessie, have you packed your bags?" Jessie's mom went to her room to check if she were already done from packing. "Yes mom, I'm almost done," she replied as she finally zipped her back pack. "I'm all set!"

 

Jessie's mom knocked on her door and entered, "Do you want your dad to give you a ride?"

 

"No mom, I'm going to take the cab. Besides, dad's busy. I don't want to disturb daddy," she smiled to her mom as she put on her bag on her back. "Bye mom. Love you." she bids her mom a goodbye and kissed her in the cheeks.

 

"Bye, my baby angel. Take care!"

 

She went down stairs and went to her dad's study room. Jessie saw him busy working with papers around him. "Dad, bye! No need to give me a ride."

 

Jessie's dad dropped his pen and removed his reading glasses and said, "Sure, my angel. Take care! Don't stick around with boys, a'right?"

"Of course dad, I won't. Don't be silly. I'm with my girls." She playfully rolled her eyes. "Bye dad, ta-ta." she waved her hand to her dad, and closed the door.

 

 

Jessie finally arrived at the hotel, and she went straight to the elevator. She was alone in the elevator, and she can see the elevator's door was closing if it wasn't stopped by a hotel staff.

 

"Good evening ma'am," an employee on his mid-30's greeted Jessie. Jessie just smiled at the old man half-heartedly, and they went up awkwardly. Jessie was just silent and looking up at the floor number. While the old man keep glancing on Jessie. Jessie was really uncomfortable with the atmosphere. But thank God, that the elevator rang. Thank goodness it's her floor.

 

Her mind panics as soon as she realizes that the old man also get out from the elevator and started following her direction. She gulped, and walked as fast as she could until she finally saw her room number. She immediately open the door, and sighed out of great relief after she leaned onto the door.

 

"Jessie? Is that you?" a familiar voice went into Jessie's ears.

 

"Yep, it's me, Casey," Jessie said after she took a deep breath. She went straight to the and asked, "Are you already complete?"

 

"Yes, yes! Now come on in, this is the best part. Carrie will finally know about her powers--Telekinesis!" her other friend--Michelle--said, without even bothering looking at Jessie, sticking her eyes on the television.

 

Jessie already saw the girls--Tia, Casey, Michelle and Bri--in their PJ's and already eating popcorn while watching Carrie. She immediately pulled her PJs on her bag and wear it. She jumped on the bed and made herself comfortable.

 

 

The girls had so much fun watching movies while talking about boys and weird facts around the world.

 

Bri was the first one to sleep because she cared too much for her skin. So everyone followed her. However, Jessie, on the other hand, could not sleep because she was so thirsty by all the salty junk foods they ate. The water on their room was already empty. Of course, she can't drink water from the faucet, it's way too dirty. So she decided to go down to the lobby, since she saw a water dispenser on her way up. She brought her glass with her. She went out from her room, and my, it was surprisingly dim dark.

 

She sighed, "Why is it so dark?" she muttered. She's scared that she may see the bloody Carrie on her way down, and kill Jessie with Carrie's telekinetic power. And such silly thoughts invaded Jessie's mind.

 

She can feel the 'walking-alone-at-the-hospital-at-night' feels in these hotel hallways. She was suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. But she really couldn't handle her salty mouth, so she wake Tia up.

 

"Tia, Tia," Jessie tapped Tia's back, simultaneously. Tia twitched her eyebrow, but she cuddled herself more on the bed. Jessie's persistent so she tapped Tia until she's awake.

"What is it?" Tia lazily seat up from her bed with her eyes' closed.

"I'm thirsty, come with me please," Jessie pouted even though Tia can only see her silhouette against the dim light.

"Tsk. Just wait, I'm going to get my slippers," Jessie nods at Tia's request.

 

They both took a peek behind the door. And even Tia was scared to go out. They both took a deep breath to gathered up all their courage and went down. Their heart was beating fast, and they both walked fast into the elevator. Jessie couldn't look at the mirror behind her nor she can't close her eyes because a picture of bloody Carrie appears on her mind. And how unfortunate for her that she can see her indistinct reflection from the elevator's door. So she instead look down.

 

"Calm down, okay? Nothing's going to happen to you," Tia said as her worn-out eyes were looking at the floor.

 

And they both were in shock when the elevator bell alarmed.

 

 

"Are we at the lobby yet?" Jessie wraps her arms around Tia's. Tia didn't answer but she looked at the screen, saying their only at the 4th floor.

 

Jessie was taken aback when she saw the guy earlier at the elevator. She hides behind Tia, she just gets bad vibe from that man.

 

The man entered the elevator with his trolley. He smiled to Tia, then to Jessie a little longer. But Jessie just ignored his gazes.

 

She finally took a deep relieving breath when finally they arrived at the lobby. Jessie was surprised when there were no more people at the lobby, even the receptionist are not there. Perhaps, the hotel is not for open 24/7.

 

They went straight to the water dispenser. Jessie gulped all the water in her glass peeling off the salty feeling in her taste buds, and she craves for more. But while filling her glass up, she halted for no reason. Her heart beats fast in anxiety, she wanders her eyes around the floor. She felt like someone's looking at her.

 

"Are you done yet?" Tia asked Jessie, impatiently.

 

However, Tia's question just slipped from her eardrums, and Jessie keeps searching for something/someone around.

 

"What are you looking at?" Tia asked Jessie frivolously as she also looks around.

Jessie puts her glass on the top of the water dispenser, and grabbed Ria's hand tightly. She felt that there's a shadow following her.

 

 

"Let's go," she said, pulling Tia on the elevator.

But Tia removed Jessie's hand off her, "Wait, I need to go to the washroom. It's my period."

Jessie looked at Tia in terror and grabbed Tia's hand again, "Do that later in our hotel room."

"But I really need to go. C'mon now, I came with you here. Now, you come with me." Now, Tia hold Jessie's arm.

"B-But--" Tia eyed Jessie, making her to zip her mouth. "But, I have a bad feeling about this," Jessie muttered.

 

Tia just walk like its nothing to the bathroom. She left Jessie outside bathroom because she knew Jessie's scared of many mirrors in night. Jessie has a wild imagination.

 

Jessie just leaned on the wall, looking down and feeling nervous. It feels like its her longest wait in her life even if it is not past 2 minutes yet. She gulped.

 

She suddenly hear a footstep. She took a step backward. She look at ther left--a hallway, no one's there. While on her right--rhe corner of the hallway, no one's there also. She took a deep breath to release some terrified feelings.

 

She was about to scream when she saw a masked person on her right, but the man was too fast to cover Jessie's mouth with a towel. But she still screamed on the top of her lungs, at least she's making a sound.

 

 

XxXxXxXx

 

 

"Sh*t, its a bloodbath here," Tia hissed as she pulled up her underwear. She went out to wash her hands. "I'm so pretty," she adored herself when she saw her own reflection on the mirror.

"Jessie? I'm almost don--" she paused when she suddenly heard somebody grunts. Her heart beats fast, she suddenly felt scared when she heard no response from Jessie.

"Jes?" she tried to call her again. So she slowly went out from the bathroom.

 

 

Her jaw dropped once she saw what's happening.

 

XxXxXxXx

 

"Tia!!!! HELP!!!" she screamed even though she knew it wasn't very accurate. She struggles as she was being dragged to somewhere by the man. She never stop to struggle, it somehow slows down the man.

 

Jessie's eye widen once she saw Tia came out from the bathroom. Tia was helpless.

 

"HELP!!" Jessie screamed once again. No one seems to hear her besides Tia. But she was just staring in awe at Jessie. Suddenly, the man took a swiss knife out of his pocket, and threatened Tia to go away.

 

And Tia ran away without any hesitations. That made Jessie dumdounded, and a tear rolled through her cheeks. She struggled once more, and the man hold her tightly. And she suddenly felt hopeless because of Tia not even helping her, or at least having hesitations of helping her.

 

And she was carried like a sack on the shoulders. But Jessie never stop to struggle. She was brought to the storage room. And rhere she saw the trolley she saw earlier at the elevatore. And in no time, Jessie figured out who was the man. It was the creepy man she saw at the elevator.

 

When the man remove the cover on Jessie's mouth, she started to scream for help. "HELP!!! ANYONE!! HELP ME!!!"

 

"Let me go!!" she grunts as she struggles from the man who was holding her hands tightly.

 

But, she recieved a hard slap from the man making her cry more, and scream for more help.

 

"Shut up the f*ck up!!" the man dragged Jessie to the floor and forcefully lay her there. Everytime she struggles the man even more tightens his grip to her pulse. The man tie her both hands up on to the two poles of the metal shelves.

 

"HELP, THERE'S A MAN WHO'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!!! HELP!!!" she cries for help. But no one seems to hear her.

 

"Scream more as you like, no one can hear you," the man said like a psychotic while still tying her up. "This hotel is sound proofed."

 

She can finally feel the pain on her throat, but she never gave up to scream.

 

The man started to rip Jessie's clothes off. She tries to kick him but he sat on her. She started to pray that someone would help her. She keeps struggling the man out of her. And her parents image keeps appearing on her mind. Her friends, classmates and those memories.

 

"Save me, anyone," she muttered as she was being raped by the man. She was being hopelessly weak. The man keep doing the nastiest things to Jessie. Jessie was helpless, all can she do was to struggle a little and cry.

 

She passed out, without even knowing she lost her virginity. And she woke up not on the storage room.

 

It was completely dark. She tried to move but her body aches from the pain she recieve lasr night. She was lying on an unusually soft things. And a stinky smell tickles her nostrils.

 

 

She realized she was at the garbage container, covered with just a towel.

 

 

She seriously couldn't move an inch, but she tries to bear the pain.

 

 

Finally, sunlight touched her face when the lid opens up.

 

 

"Help," she said, feeling weak.
