Kevin Richardson stood looking out the window of the hospital
room. His body shaking with fear, fear that who had assaulted him would return.
He still couldn’t get the images of the assault out of his mind. Every time he’d
close his eyes he relive what happened. Every second of it seemed to replay. He
could hear the voice and feel the hands roaming his bare skin.
~~~~~
“ If you scream, I’ll kill you.” The harsh voice said. Kevin lay on his bed his
arms tied above his head, a blindfold over his eyes. He couldn’t see his
attacker but he knew it was male.
“
Please don’t.” Kevin begged hoping who ever it was would leave him alone. He
could feel the man’s gloved hands move over his exposed chest down to the hem
of his boxers. Kevin tried to wiggle under the weight of the man on top of him.
“
Please stop.” Kevin begged again. The man only laughed as he slid Kevin’s
boxers off, and flipped him over.
“
Such a nice sweet ass.”
“
Oh god Please don’t.” Kevin sobbed against the pillow. Kevin felt the man shift
and heard the sound of his pants falling to the floor. Kevin began to cry
uncontrollably as he felt the man run his hands up and down his back.
“
Now lets see how good you are pretty boy.” The man said as he slammed into
Kevin. Kevin screamed in pain and tried to move. The man moved in and out of
Kevin at a painful pace Kevin had long since stopped struggling with the man,
wet tears rolled down his cheeks and fell to the pillows below him.
“
Such a sweet and tight ass. Oh god I’m going to cum.” The man said as he thrust
harder into him. By this point Kevin had moved past pain and had passed out.
The man finished and rolled off Kevin’s limp form.
“
Such a sweet fuck, maybe I’ll do it again Richardson.” The man said looking
down at Kevin’s unconscious body. With that the man pulled up his pants and
left the house. Kevin awoke several hours later in so much pain he wasn’t sure
if he should move. Since he still couldn’t see he wasn’t sure if his attacker
was truly gone. Kevin finally rolled himself onto his back and lay there. All
he wanted to do was take a shower or die, he was entirely sure which he really
wanted to do at that time. He stiffened when he heard a voice call his name
threw the large house.
“
Kevin, sweetie?” Morgan called out. Morgan made her way to their bedroom and
about screamed. She could hear Kevin crying from where she stood frozen in the
doorway. She couldn’t move, she could barely breath the only thing that came to
mind at the moment was she screamed loud. She felt hands on her arm and turned
to see Kevin’s bodyguard standing in the doorway, he had gone out with her when
she had left the house per to Kevin’s orders that he would be fine home alone.
“
Morgan call 911.” He said calmly as he made his way into the bed. He didn’t
dare touch Kevin for fear he had been hurt badly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin
jumped at the sound of the door opening behind him. Morgan walked threw holding
a vase of flowers.
“
Hi.” She said quietly. Kevin turned and sat down on the bed.
“
Hi.” He said to her, she could see the shame in his deep green eyes.
“
How are you Kev?” She asked moving closer to him.
“ Ok.” He said quietly. Morgan put her arms around him and felt
him grab onto her and begin to sob. She stood there and let him cry unsure of
what else to do for her husband. She finally looked down and saw that he’d
cried himself to sleep again. Adjusting his form on the bed, she lay down next
to him holding his shaking form in her arms, running her fingers threw his long
dark hair. She knew he hated looking so needy, but he had to admit he needed
help. She blamed herself for leaving him home alone that day.
~~~~
“ Kevin are you sure your going to be alright?” Morgan asked. Kevin turned and
looked at her with a smile on his face.
“
Yes dear I’ll be fine. I’ll finish up on some work around the house and then
maybe get ready for a romantic dinner with my beautiful wife.” Kevin said
pulling her smaller figure into his arms. Morgan looked up into his dark green eyes
and smiled.
“
You know that I’ve always loved you.” She said kissing his lips softly.
“
Yes I do, and I love you as much.” Kevin said deepening the kiss.
“
Well I will go and get what I want out at the store and then we can have an
intimate night alone.” Morgan said breaking the embrase. Kevin smiled and
watched his wife leave the house with Carlos.
“
So should we get his birthday gift while we are out?” Carlos asked as they
pulled to the end of the driveway.
“ Yeah we should.” Morgan said “ Hi Billy.” She shouted out the
window to the man that stood on the street. Billy looked up and waved as Carlos
pulled the car down the street.
Carlos
pulled the car into the driveway several hours later, it had gotten dark and
they had lost track of time and had noticed it was late. Morgan giggled as
Carlos gathered the large amounts of bags that she had come from the store
with, most where holiday gifts, getting her holiday shopping done early so she
didn’t have to bother with the stores during the usual rush.
“ I’ll
take these and meet you inside.” Morgan said grabbing a couple of bags and
heading into the house. Carlos narrowed his eyes at the dark house, it wasn’t
like Kevin not to turn on lights in the house. He began to worry that something
was wrong.
Morgan
made her way up the stairs to her bedroom calling out to her husband the entire
way. She pushed the bedroom door open and stood there in shock, on the bed her
husband lay on his back his arms tied above his head a blindfold over his eyes
and he was naked. Morgan dropped the bags and let out the most bloodcurdling
scream. She could hear footsteps coming up the stairs. Carlos’s hand on her
shoulder, Morgan’s eyes looked towards Carlos as he made his way into the room.
“
Morgan call 911.” Carlos said to her. Morgan stood there numbly as Carlos spoke
to her. “ Morgan Call 911.” Carlos said again. Morgan nodded numbly and ran for
the phone. She dialed 911 and told that she needed an ambulance and police.
Morgan hung up the phone and the dropped to her knees. Tears streamed down her
face, someone had hurt her dearest love, someone had abused him in ways she
could never have imagined. Her heart was breaking for the fear and pain he must
have been feeling. Morgan sat there on the floor and cried, she stood when she
heard the door, running towards it she let the police and paramedics in. Morgan
followed them numbly back up into the bedroom. The officers stopped her in the
doorway.
“
We are going to need a statement.” One officer said to her. Morgan nodded.
“
Where were you today?”
“ I’ve
been shopping, my husband’s birthday is coming up soon and I wanted to get him
something nice. While I was out I wanted to get some of my holiday shopping
done early.” She answered.
“
Did you touch anything when you came in?”
“ I
opened the door which was locked, I came upstairs and opened the bedroom door
to find my husband tied to it. The only thing I did when I came in here was
scream.” Morgan said trying to stifle her crying.
“
We believe that you husband has been raped.” The officer said. Morgan’s eyes
got wide and she looked at him.
“
Oh god.” Morgan said as she buried her face in her hands. Morgan looked towards
the bedroom and saw the flash of a camera, jumping up from her place she dove
into the bedroom.
“
Stop, stop this.” She said seeing Kevin sitting on the edge of the bed crying.
“
We need these pictures ma’am.” The man behind the camera said. Morgan grabbed a
clean sheet and wrapped it around her husband’s shaking form.
“
No! Hasn’t he been threw enough.”
“
We have enough pictures.” The officer she had been talking to said motioning
for them to leave the room so the paramedics could help the frightened man.
Morgan sat next to Kevin her arms around his shaking form as sobs wracked his
body. One of the paramedics reached out to Kevin and he jumped and looked at
the man behind the tears that where in his eyes.
“
No, don’t touch me.” Kevin said slinking back away from the man.
“
We are just here to help.” The paramedic tried to soothe.
“
Baby let them help.” Morgan said hiding her own tears. Kevin nodded and allowed
the paramedics hands to roam his naked body.
“ Ok we are going to take you to the hospital now Mr.
Richardson.” The Paramedic said. Kevin nodded numbly. Morgan watched as they
wheeled him from the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Morgan
watched her husband sleep, she looked towards the door and saw Brian standing
in the doorway. Slowly slipping out from under Kevin, Morgan slipped out of the
room and quietly closed the door.
“
How’s he doing?” Brian asked.
“
As good as to be expected. The doctor wants to keep him a few days. It seems
Kevin’s attacker broke about four of Kevin’s ribs and chipped the bone in his
wrist. They didn’t cast it because they didn’t want to scare him anymore than
he already is.” Morgan admitted
“ I
can’t believe that something like this happened, and to Kevin. God what he must
be going thru.”
“
He’s going threw a lot and I can’t help him, he won’t let me.” Morgan said.
“
He will let you help him. Just give him time.”
“ I’m
going back in there with him. Tell the others but please don’t tell them
everything. I don’t think Kevin can handle them knowing about the rape, not
right now.”
“
The press has been notified.”
“
What?”
“
When the police where called, the scanners where set off and you know how the
press have those things. So now we have a problem.”
“
Damn it. He can’t handle this not right now. Please do something.”
“
We will. Don’t worry.” Brian said hugging her and then headed down the hallway.
Morgan headed back into the room that Kevin was in. She watched her husband
toss and turn as nightmares plagued his dreams. Sliding back into the bed next
to him, she whipped the sweat away from his forehead as he woke from his dream,
sitting up panting trying to slow his heart and breathing. Morgan pulled him
into her arms and ran her fingers threw his hair.
“
You’re safe now.” She soothed.
“
Why me?” Kevin said looking up into her eyes.
“ I
don’t know. But remember it wasn’t your fault.”
“ I
could have fought him off better.”
“
He could have killed you.” Morgan said looking at him.
“
But he didn’t, I would have rather he had.” Kevin said pulling out of her arms
and moved into the bathroom closing and locking the door. Morgan moved to the
door and touched the handle.
“ Kevin, baby, please don’t shut me out.” Morgan cried against
the door. Kevin reached out and touched the closed door and then slid down it
pulling his knees up against his chest he sat there on the floor. It flashed
before his eyes everything that had happened.
~~~~
Kevin watched as Morgan and Carlos left the yard. He had seen his wife wave at
one of the guys that had just moved into the neighborhood. Kevin turned and
walked back into the house closing the door behind him.
It
had been a good three hours since Morgan and Carlos had left and he wondered
what was taking them so long. Kevin padded around the house in just his jeans
as he made ready for a romantic dinner with his wife. Hearing the door open he
had assumed that his wife and bodyguard had returned. Never turning around he
finished setting up the table. Kevin stood and was about to turn around when he
felt the cold barrel of a gun in his back.
“
Don’t turn around.” The harsh voice said. Kevin nodded, he swallowed hard as he
felt the hand run over his chest. Kevin steadied his breathing and moved away
from the man’s touch. The man that stood behind Kevin grabbed his arm and
pulled him back towards him. He pulled a blindfold over Kevin’s eyes so he
couldn’t see his attacker.
“
My very pretty. Such a hansom man.” Kevin heard the man say.
“
What do you want?” Kevin asked, his voice shaking a bit.
“
Why you sweet Kevy.” He said his lips corressing Kevin’s neck. Kevin shuttered
under the man’s touch, he hated how his body betrayed his own mind. He knew
this was wrong and he wanted to know what was causing the man to do this to
him.
“
Please don’t.” Kevin whispered.
“
You’re going to be such a sweet fuck.” The man whispered in his ear. Kevin
backed away his hands reaching for the blindfold, he wanted to see who it was
that was torturing him.
“
Don’t!” the man shouted at him knocking him to the ground. Kevin touched his
now bleeding lip and backed away from his still unseen attacker.
“
Get up.”
“ I
want to see who you are.” Kevin said reaching up for the blindfold again.
“
No!” The man shouted hitting Kevin in the ribs with the gun. Kevin doubled over
in pain clutching his ribs. The man reached down and pulled him to his feet
tying his hands in front of him and shoving him towards the bedroom. Kevin
stumbled several times before making it to the bedroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin’s
eyes snapped open again and looked around the room he was in. The bright light
that surrounded him reminded him that he was in the bathroom. He could hear his
wife’s soft voice from the other side. He slowly stood and stripped of what he
was wearing and slid into the hot shower. The shower water was so hot Kevin’s
skin turned red, he heard the door to the bathroom open with a key. Morgan came
into the bathroom fearing the worse. She looked at her husband and slid into
the steaming hot shower fully clothed. Putting her arms around him Kevin turned
and faced her and dropped to his knees and began to sob once again. He held on
to her his head resting against her stomach as he sobbed. Morgan reached over
him and shut off the water. She looked towards the door to see a nurse and the
doctor standing in the doorway. She took the towel they offered and wrapped it
around Kevin and helped him from the shower. That’s when she saw the bruises,
reaching her hand out slowly she touched each and every one of them. Some had
been down by hands others by something else. She could see strap marks on his
back and chest, burn marks on his chest, how much he had endured she wondered.
She helped him redress and then get back into bed. The doctor kindly gave him a
sedative. Morgan watched her husband fall asleep. She followed the doctor out
into the hallway.
“
You never told me about the bruises, burns and other things. Why?” Morgan
asked, her voice dripping with anger.
“
Because he asked us not to.” The doctor said looking at her.
“ I’m
his wife damn it. What did he think I wouldn’t notice.”
“
Mrs. Richardson please calm down. We understand why your feeling like you are.
But it was his wish and we wanted to do as much as we could for him. We would
like him to start seeing a therapist.”
“
Yes I understand.”
“
We would like him to start right away.”
“
That’s fine.”
“
We need your signature on these papers for that.” The doctor said handing her
the forms. Morgan sighed the forms and watched the doctor walk down the hall
and leave her alone. Morgan slid down the wall and pulled up her knees. She
couldn’t imagine what was going threw her husband’s mind, she wondered if he’d
ever tell her what happened. She wondered if he’d ever let her touch him again.
She finally stood and saw Brian walking towards her.
“
Hey, we talked to the press.”
“
How much did they know?”
“
Just that Kevin was found beaten in your home. Nothing more. Honey we kept them
from finding out anything more.”
“
Thank you Brian. I don’t know what we’d do without you.”
“
Be lost. Don’t worry so much. Just be there for Kevin. How is he doing?”
“
They had to give him something to help him sleep. He locked himself in the
bathroom last night. I feared he was going to do something to himself. He then
took a hot shower. I held him while he cried and again and then I saw the
bruises.”
“
Bruises?” Brian asked looking at her.
“
Yeah all over his body, burns too. God Brian he’s been hurt so bad.” Morgan
said.
“ I
know honey.” Brian said hugging her. Morgan sniffled and looked up.
“ I
should get back in there with him. Brian keep the others posted. They’ve got a
suicide watch on Kevin. That’s the other reason he’s staying her a bit longer.
Then I can take him home.”
“
At home he might be more comfortable.”
“ I’m not so sure about that.” Morgan said walking back into the
room.
Morgan
watched her husband walk around their home. He wouldn’t sleep in their bedroom,
he spent most days locked in the guest room or was in the shower washing his
body for the umpteen time. She had lost count on how many times he had changed
his cloths. She walked down the hall and into the room he was sitting in. Kevin’s
knee’s where up against his chest and he was looking out the window.
“
Kevin.” Morgan said coming into the room. Kevin jumped and looked towards her,
she could see that he hadn’t slept much. She could see that in his eyes, the
dark rings under them told that much.
“
HI.” He said softly, his eyes returning to what he was gazing at.
“
Kevin, you can’t hide in here forever.” Morgan said coming and taking his hand
in hers. Kevin looked down into her eyes and gave her a weak smile.
“
Sure I can. We are on a break so it’s not like I have to leave the house.”
“
But what happens when the tour starts again?” She asked looking at him. Kevin
looked down into Morgan’s blue eyes and he reached out and pushed up the
glasses she wore back up her face.
“ I
will deal with that when the time comes.”
“
Honey, the guys are coming over to discuss the tour. Brian called an hour ago.”
“
Oh. So when are they due?” Kevin asked. She could see a slight tremble in his
movements.
“
Bout ten minuets.” Morgan said, she turned towards the doorway when she heard
the doorbell.
“
Why don’t you get that? I’ll gather my courage to be able to face the guys.”
“
Kevin, honey, remember we all love you. Especially me.” Morgan said placing a
soft kiss on his lips. Kevin ran his finger over his lips and then watched as
his wife left the room.
“ How could she still love me? After what happened.” Kevin
wondered. “ How could she still touch me after what he did?” Questions like
that plagued Kevin’s every move and moment. Wondering how anyone could care
about him after what had happened. Slowly standing Kevin made his way
downstairs. He could hear his wife talking to someone, he stopped frozen on the
stairs, that voice, he had heard that voice before. It sent chills threw his
spine and brought terror anew.
“
Well Mrs. Richardson. I hope Kevin feels better soon.”
“
Billy, call me Morgan. I’ll tell Kevin that you said hi.” Morgan said looking
at the young man. She smiled, he couldn’t have been much older than Nick.
“
He seemed alright the other day.” Billy said looking at her.
“
He suddenly came down with something. He’ll be all right. Thanks for your
concern.” Morgan said to him. Billy smiled and looked past her, he could see
Kevin standing on the stairs.
“
Well I’ll be going now. Bye Morgan.”
“
Bye Billy.” Morgan said closing the door. She turned and saw her husband
standing on the stairs. Walking over to him she looked into his eyes. Touching
his cheek, Kevin jumped back nearly falling over.
“
Hey. What’s wrong?” Morgan asked as she helped him sit down on the couch.
“
Something about your friend’s voice.” Kevin whispered.
“
What about Billy? He’s just new to the neighborhood.”
“
Nothings been said about the attack?” Kevin asked looking at her.
“
No baby, the scanners went off and press just think that you’ve been hurt
nothing else.” Morgan said to her husband. Kevin nodded and jumped again when a
knock came to the door.
“
Hey don’t be so jumpy, it’s probably just the guys.” Morgan said kissing his
cheek. She walked over and opened the front door. Brian, Howie, Nick and AJ
stood on the other side. Kevin moved a safe corner of the living room while
everyone sat down.
“
What’s the meeting about?” Kevin asked.
“
We have to go back on tour soon.” AJ said looking towards him.
“
How soon?”
“ A
couple of weeks at most.” Brian informed him.
“
Management called yesterday, we rushed a meeting together. But I wanted to give
you some extra time.” Brian said understanding his cousin’s fear.
“
Kevin why don’t you sit with the rest of us?” Nick asked standing. Nick’s
sudden movement caused Kevin to cry out.
“
Don’t touch me.” Kevin said curling up in a ball. Brian moved to his cousin’s
side while Morgan pulled the remaining boys from the room.
“
What’s his deal?” AJ asked. Morgan sighed and ran her fingers threw her hair,
taking off her glasses she rubbed her tired eyes.
“
Guys I have something to tell you.” Morgan said. She could hear Brian talking
to Kevin, she could hear Kevin’s crying all the way into the kitchen.
“
What?” Howie asked looking at her. It wasn’t like Kevin to act the way he was.
“
You already know that Kevin was attacked.”
“
Yes we where told he was attacked by a robber.” Nick said.
“ I
wish things where just that easy.”
“
Morgan what happened?” AJ asked.
“
Someone got into the house.” Morgan said trying to keep from crying. “ Carlos
and I had gone out shopping and Kevin told us he’d be fine alone. I..I never
expected what had happened.”
“
What?”
“
Kevin was raped. Someone broke into the house and raped Kevin, I found him
blindfolded and tied to the bed in our room. He was completely naked. It was so
dark and I could hear him crying. I just knew what had happened.”
“
Does Brian know?”
“
Brian is the only one that does know. Kevin is so ashamed he didn’t want anyone
to know what had happened. He’s been pulling away from me. Then today Billy
came over to say he hoped Kevin felt better soon, something about Billy’s voice
scared the hell out of him.” Morgan admitted.
“
Maybe Billy’s voice is similar to the attackers voice.” Nick suggested.
“
Could be. Please don’t tell Kevin said anything to you. He’s ashamed enough as
it is.” Morgan said.
“
Don’t worry we wont say a word. We totally understand now where he’s coming
from and we will take it easy on him. Don’t worry Morgan he’ll be fine.” Howie
said hugging her. Morgan nodded and whipped her tears away.
“
Come on I think Brian got him calmed down.” Nick said walking back into the
room. Morgan looked at Brian and then towards her husband.
“
Sorry.” Kevin said in a low voice.
“
Hey no biggie.” Nick said sitting down.
“
Would you boys like something to drink?” Morgan asked.
“
Lemonade if you have it.” Nick asked.
“
Sure that good for all of ya?”
“ Yeah that’s fine.” The others said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
meeting was long over and the boys had long since gone home. Morgan sat with
her arms around Kevin, while they sat and watched the fire.
“ I
love you Kevin.”
“ I
love you to.” Kevin said quietly. Morgan kissed him sweetly and then looked
into his tired eyes.
“
Come on let’s go to bed.” She said taking his hand and leading him to the bed.
Kevin looked at the bed and then at his wife. Shaking his head he guided her to
the guest room.
“ Still can’t bare sleeping in there huh?” Morgan said looking
at him. Kevin nodded and pulled her to the bed, his lips crushing hers in a
mind-blowing kiss. Morgan held onto him as he pushed her onto the bed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“ You do know me Kevy. And I will get my chance to have you
again. And maybe have that pretty little wife of yours as well.” A man said
watching them, he watched the couple reunite in ways they hadn’t since the
rape.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Morgan
smiled as she woke up the next morning, her head resting on her husband’s
chest.
“ I
love you more than you’ll ever know.” Morgan said running her hand over Kevin’s
chest. She could feel him crying. She hated it, hated the fact that he was so
upset all the time and there was nothing she could have done for it.
“
How about we go out today.” Morgan said sitting up and looking into his tear
filled eyes.
“
And do what?” He said, his voice void of feeling.
“
Just to get out for a few hours.” Morgan said. She groaned as the phone rang
and she picked it up.
“
Hello?”
“
Hi Morgan, it’s Brian did I wake you?”
“
No, Brian what’s up?” Morgan said sitting on the edge of the bed.
“
We are going to pick up Kevin and take him out for a while is that alright?”
“
Yeah, I think that will do him a world of good.” Morgan said turning and
looking into her husbands pleading eyes. She knew he didn’t want to go out but
she needed him to go out and enjoy life again. She remembered him being so full
of life and someone that just didn’t let the littlest things get him down. Now
he was hiding inside his home away from everyone and everything he loved.
“
Ok, we will be there within the hour.”
“
Sounds good to me. See you soon.” She said hanging up the phone. She looked up
at Kevin and shook her head.
“ I
don’t want to go.”
“ I
don’t care. Kev, you can’t hide inside this house.”
“
Yes I can. If I had my way about it, I’d crawl in a corner and die.” Kevin
said. Morgan looked at him, the shock of his statement written on her face.
“
No, don’t you ever talk like that.”
“
It’s true Morgan. I want to die. I am so ashamed of what happened that I can’t
face other people.” Kevin said. Morgan cupped his face and looked into his
tormented green eyes.
“
My love, my dearest love, always remember that no matter what ever happens. I
love you and I will always be here for you. Your friends and family love you.
Our child will love you.” Morgan said looking at him. Kevin looked at her, his
eyes questioning her.
“
When we get pregnant.” Morgan corrected. She could see the look of horror
behind his questioning eyes.
“
Oh. Hey I have to get dressed and ready for the guys.” Kevin said heading into
the bathroom. Morgan rubbed her stomach and then looked towards the bathroom
door. She closed her eyes and let a few tears slip down her cheeks. He wasn’t
ready for this right now. She’d wait till he was in the shower then she headed
down the stairs. She hated the feeling that she had failed her husband but she
knew she’d take her time to get him back. Hearing a knock at the door, she
walked and opened the door and smiled.
“
Hey guys.” Morgan said letting them in.
“
Hey hon.” AJ said kissing her cheek as he entered.
“
He’ll be right down.” She said walking to the couch.
“
How are you today?”
“ I
am doing alright. Kevin’s a bit depressed but maybe getting out with you guys
will do him some good.” She said looking at them. They could see something was
wrong.
“
What’s wrong?” Brian asked.
“ I’m
pregnant and I don’t know how to tell him. He doesn’t want it right now. So I
am going to wait. And don’t any of you say anything to him.”
“
No problem. Congrats dear.” Brian hugged her and then looked up the stairs to
see Kevin standing there.
“
Hey guys.”
“
You ready?” Brian asked.
“
Yeah I guess.” Kevin said walking towards the door. Brian shook his head and
followed his cousin out of the house.
“
See you later.”
“
Have fun boys.” Morgan said watching them leave.
“
We wont have him out to late.” Nick said giggling.
“ Take as long as you want kids.” Morgan said as they finally
left. She closed the door and walked back inside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Morgan
sat on the couch a book in her hand and a fire in the fireplace. She pulled the
blanket up and smiled as she smelled the sweet scent of her husband’s cologne.
She remembered how much he loved life and never hid from it. Now he was always
hiding from life, she hated the person that took the man she loved away from
her. She wished that it had never happened, she heard a knock at the door and
wondered who would be visiting at this late hour. She opened the door and smiled
at her young friend.
“
Hi Billy.” Morgan said. “ What brings you by so late?” She asked.
“
You.” He said placing his hand over her mouth and shoving her back into the
house. Billy kicked the door closed and walked further into the house with
Morgan struggling to get away from him. Finally he shoved her onto the couch.
“
What the hell are you doing?” Morgan shouted at him standing up. Billy smiled
at Morgan as he walked towards her with rope in hand.
“
What I should have finished the first time I was here.” Billy said grabbing her
arms and shoving her into a nearby chair and tying her to it. Morgan struggled
to free herself. She remembered that Carlos was still outside walking around
checking the grounds before he headed to the guesthouse for the night.
“
HELP!” Morgan screamed. Billy shoved a cloth in her mouth and tied if off
behind her head.
“
Nope, he’s taking a nap, don’t want you waking him.”
“
Hmm!” Morgan tried threw the gag.
“
Don’t worry I didn’t kill him. Now we are going to wait for your husband to
return.” Billy said sitting down on the couch and turning on the TV. Morgan
continued to struggle to get herself free.
“ I’d
stop my dear, I’m very good and tying knots.” Billy said looking at her.
Standing he checked the ropes again and the reached down and tied her legs to
the chair. Billy stood up and smiled at her.
“ I
had you so convinced that I was your friend. Do you even realize who I am?” He
asked looking at her. Morgan narrowed her eyes at him and let out a low growl.
“
Ah so you do. Well I’ve watched you all long enough now I’ve come to get a
little more of Kevy.” Billy said an evil smile on his face. Morgan looked at
him with tears in his eyes.
“
Oh don’t worry dear, I might get a chance to play with you too. Now stay put, I
am going to go and check on your friend. Got to make sure he can’t mess up my
plans.” Billy said heading out of the house leaving the door open. Morgan
wiggled and finally gave up, she knew that Billy had tied the ropes to tight
for her to even try to get away. She jumped slightly when she heard the door
slam shut. Billy sauntered in with a smile on his face.
“
Well he’s still unconscious and tied up, so he won’t be helping you anytime
soon.” Billy said sitting down on the couch again. Morgan looked towards the
clock and knew that her husband would be returning soon. Her body stiffened
when she heard a car in the driveway and then the sound of a door closing.
“
Ah, Kevin is home. Well now we must get you out of site for a while.” Billy
said pulling her and the chair out of site. Kevin could be heard coming into
the house.
“
One sound dear and I slit your throat.” Billy said holding a knife to Morgan’s
throat. Silent tears rolled down her cheeks as she heard Kevin calling out to
her as he made his way threw the house. Billy smiled it was a small plus that
the chair Morgan was tied to had wheels. He moved her and the chair towards the
stairs, he pulled her up the stairs and heard Kevin calling to his wife and
then stopped short when he saw Billy and his wife.
“
Don’t hurt her.” Kevin begged, he wasn’t sure what Billy wanted but he knew
that his wife was in danger.
“
Oh I hadn’t planned on it, I came to finish what I started with you.” Billy
said looking into Kevin’s eyes. Kevin’s eyes grew wide with recognition as he
remembered the voice.
“
Oh god.” Kevin said looking at Billy with fear in his eyes.
“
Not quite. Into the bedroom pretty boy or I hurt your pretty wife.” Billy said
running the knife slowly over Morgan’s cheek. Morgan stiffened as she watched
Kevin walk into the bedroom. Billy moved her into the bedroom and closed the
door.
“
Don’t hurt her.” Kevin said his voice sounding braver than he was feeling.
“
She’s such a fool for trusting me. She thought I was her friend. You where such
a sweet fuck that night, so upset, being so brave.” Billy said looking at
Kevin.
“
You sick bastard.” Kevin hissed.
“
Strip.” Billy said looking at Kevin. Kevin looked at him wide eyed.
“
Fuck you.” Kevin growled. Billy ran his hand down Morgan’s cheek and then
sliced the knife across Morgan’s cheek, causing her to cry out in pain threw
the gag.
“
Do it or I hurt her again.” Billy said smiling at him. Kevin looked at his wife
and then bowed his head in shame as he slowly slid out of his shirt. “ Faster
pretty boy.” Kevin dropped the shirt on the floor and looked up at his wife
again. Kevin looked at her with tears in his eyes as he slid his hands slowly
down to his belt, unhooking it he unbuttoned his pants and let them fall to the
floor. Kevin stood there in his boxers looking at the man that had raped him
weeks before, tears rolled freely down his cheeks. Billy moved forward and
stood in front of Kevin. His hand roaming over Kevin’s bare skin. Morgan began
struggling with the bonds that held her arms, anything to get Billy to leave
Kevin alone. Billy turned and looked at her and smiled.
“
Don’t worry my dear you’re next.” Billy said, Morgan looked up at him and then
towards Kevin. She could see the fear in his eyes.
“
Hmm!” Morgan tried, she thought maybe if she kept Billy’s attention Kevin could
get away and call the police. Billy stood up and grabbed Kevin’s wrists, he
pulled Kevin towards Morgan. Kevin’s head snapped towards the stairs, he could
hear voices downstairs.
“
Oh, it seems your friends forgot something.” Billy said wrapping rope around
Kevin’s wrists. He pulled Kevin back to the bed and tied his arms to the
headboard. Billy reached over and shoved a cloth into Kevin’s mouth and tied it
off.
“ Now, both of you will be very quiet. Maybe your friends will
think your sleeping.” Billy said looking at the couple. Kevin struggled with
the bonds that held his arms to the headboard. This couldn’t be happening again
his mind screamed. Kevin could hear AJ’s voice on the stairs. Morgan wiggled
again trying to make enough noise to get her friend’s attention. The bedroom
door was already closed so AJ couldn’t see into the room.
“
Hey guys, they aren’t up here.” AJ shouted down the stairs.
“
They have to be, Morgan’s book, and purse are still sitting on the table.”
“
Maybe they went for a walk.”
“
And left the house unlocked, not likely.” Brian said looking around. He was
becoming worried as he looked around the house. He looked at the floor and
noticed one of the chairs had been moved.
“
Something’s not right.” Brian muttered as he followed AJ up the stairs. He
listened carefully and could hear muffled screams coming from the closed
bedroom.
“
Come back downstairs.” Brian whispered to AJ. AJ looked at Brian strangely but
did as he was asked.
“
What’s wrong?”
“
Something is wrong. I could hear muffled screaming coming from the bedroom. The
one room Kevin wont go into.”
“ I’m
going to go and find Carlos.” Nick said hurrying from the room.
“ I’ll
go with him.” AJ said following Nick out of the house.
“
Should we call the police?” Brian asked.
“
If there is someone in the house we don’t want them getting hurt.” Howie said
looking at his friend. Both Howie and Brian looked upstairs as they heard the
bedroom door open. Howie moved to the bottom of the steps enough to look up to
see Morgan, bound and gagged sitting in a chair, and then someone shove the
chair down the stairs. Howie stayed where he was and attempted to catch the
chair, Morgan slammed into him hard, both falling in a heap to the floor.
“
Oh Dear god.” Brian said moving towards them.
“
Damn it that hurts.” Howie said rolling out from under the chair. Morgan moaned
and Howie looked towards her, he could see blood running from somewhere. AJ and
Nick came running into the house out of breath.
“
We can’t find Carlos, is that Morgan?” Nick asked looking at them.
“
Yes, help me sit her up.” Brian said grabbing one side of the chair, Nick
grabbed the other so it was sitting up right. Brian pulled the gag out of
Morgan’s mouth and touched her face.
“
Hey talk to us hon.” Brian said looking at her. Morgan groaned and looked up
into Brian’s concerned blue eyes. She couldn’t focus on his face and finally
her eyes rolled back in her head and she passed out.
“
Shit she’s out. Ok help me untie her.” Nick said trying to untie Morgan’s legs.
“
Oh dear god.” AJ said causing everyone to look up at what AJ was looking at. At
the top of the stairs was Billy, holding a gun to Kevin’s head, Kevin stood in
his boxers, his arms tied behind him a gag in his mouth.
“
Leave him alone.” AJ said moving forward.
“
Awe Kevy they love ya. And look they saved your wife, I wonder if they saved
your baby.” Billy said, Kevin’s eyes got wide and he began to struggle with the
man that held his arms. He needed to get to his wife.
“ Don’t worry baby, you’ll be joining her soon enough.” Billy
said running his free hand over Kevin’s cheek.
Brian
looked up into his cousin’s eyes and then down at Morgan’s unconscious form.
Nick had succeeded in untying her and was holding her limp form in his arms.
Nick could see that Kevin was terrified.
“
Well look we have the whole gang here. Maybe I should have my fun with you
while they watch.” Billy said kissing Kevin on the cheek. His lips moving down
to Kevin’s neck as he kissed his way down his chest.
“
Stop, leave him alone.” AJ said moving forward. Billy looked up, an annoyed
look on his face.
“ I’d
stop unless you’d rather I kill him.” Billy said pressing the gun into Kevin’s
temple.
“
You seem to care about him, why kill him?”
“
Because see I have this issue if I can’t have him, neither can she.” Billy said
looking back at Kevin. “ See baby I’ve loved you for years, I just had to wait
for the right moment to come and tell you.”
“
So you’re the one that raped him.” Brian said. Kevin’s eyes filled with tears,
his own fears coming true.
“ I
was the one that made love to him weeks ago. But you say rape.”
“
It was rape, he never consented to you having sex with him. He loves his wife.
He would never leave her for you.” AJ growled.
“ I
know and you’ve messed up my plans.”
“
What plans?” Howie asked calmly. He knew Kevin couldn’t hold it together much
longer.
“ I
just wanted one more special night with Kevy, but see his wife decided to stay
home alone this time. So of course that meant I’d have to go threw her. So of
course I took care of the bodyguard first, then I came to the house. Morgan
never suspected a thing as she opened the door to let me in. I would have just
had my way with Kevin and left again but since Morgan was here, and I am not an
unkind man I was going to give her a chance to enjoy the fun.”
“
She’s barely breathing.” Nick hissed looking up at Billy.
“
Yes unfortunately you all returned to soon. If you look I left my mark on her.”
Billy smiled as he ran his hand up and down Kevin’s chest. Howie turned and
looked down at Morgan and gasped.
“
Shit, he stabbed her in the chest, Brian get some towels. Nick lay her on the
floor. We have to get the bleeding stopped or she will die and so will the
baby.” Howie said looking down at Morgan’s pale complexion. Kevin looked down
the stairs at his wife and then towards the man that had hurt her and him.
Anger filled the depths of his deep green eyes. Kevin wasn’t sure what he could
do with his hands tied behind him, Billy holding the end of the rope like a
leash.
“
Let him go, we won’t say anything to the police, we will just tell them it was
a random break in.” Brian tried to talk to Billy.
“
Not a chance. I know that with your superstar status this will be all over the
news. I won’t get a moment’s peace.”
“
You don’t deserve a moments peace for what you’ve done to them. Just let Kevin
go and we won’t have to hurt you.” AJ said heading up the stairs, two at a
time. Billy backed up bringing Kevin with him. Finally coming to a stop at the
bedroom he shoved Kevin inside the room and then went into the room himself
closing and locking the door behind him.
“ No damn it.” AJ shouted banging his fists against the door.
“
Well now that we are all alone.” Billy said advancing towards Kevin. Kevin kept
backing up till he fell backwards onto the bed. Billy smiled evilly as he moved
closed as Kevin scooted back onto the bed bringing his knees up against his
chest. Billy grabbed Kevin’s legs and pulled him so he was laying flat on his
back, well as flat as he could with his arms tied behind him. Billy slid up and
strattled Kevin’s chest, his hands slowly moving over his chest.
“ Some much needed time alone.” Billy said kissing Kevin’s neck.
Kevin tried to wiggle his way out from under Billy.
“
Damn it.” AJ swore again as he pounded his fists against the door.
“
There’s a key.” Morgan said from her place on he floor. Nick looked down at her
and tipped his head. He wasn’t sure he had heard her. Her voice was so low he
had barely caught it.
“
Huh?”
“
On the stand near the bedroom there is a key. We always had fights and I’d lock
myself in the room. He had a key made so he could come in.” Morgan said opening
her eyes looking at them. Brian could tell she was having a hard time talking
but she still told them what was going on.
“
AJ there’s a key.” Nick said scrambling up the stairs. AJ looked at him funny
as Nick pawed threw the table next to the door. Smiling happily when he finally
found the key he was looking for. Placing it in the lock he turned it and
shoved the door open.
“
Bastard, get off of him.” Nick said running towards Billy. Nick used all his
might and tackled the man knocking him to the floor. Kevin rolled off the bed
in the other direction, landing in a painful heap on the floor. AJ ran to his
friend’s side and untied his arms. Kevin moved his arms around and rubbed them
then yanked the gag free.
“
That son of a bitch hurt my wife.” Kevin growled heading over to where Nick
was.
“
That son of a bitch hurt you.” AJ said grabbing Kevin’s arm and pulling him
back towards him.
“
Yes I know this. And he still scared the hell out of me. But when he hurt my
wife that was different.” Kevin seethed.
“ I
understand that Kevin but let Nick do what he’s doing you go downstairs and be
with Morgan. I’ll help Nick with the freak.”
“
Fine.” Kevin said heading out of the room.
“
Here you might need these.” AJ said handing Kevin his jeans. “ Not that I haven’t
seen you in your boxers I just thought you may have been threw enough that the
press don’t need more of those kind of pics.”
“
Thanks.” Kevin said pulling them on then running down the stairs. AJ walked
over just as Nick stood with Billy.
“ Here use these to tie his arms. I’ll call the police once we
get downstairs.” AJ said handing the rope to Nick. Nick nodded and quickly tied
Billy’s hands tightly behind him.
Kevin
dropped to his knees next to his wife, he brushed her hair out of her face.
Morgan opened her eyes and looked at him.
“
Don’t you dare die on me.” Kevin said. Kevin looked up as Nick and AJ came down
the stairs with Billy.
“
The ambulance is on its way.” Howie said looking down at Morgan’s pale face. He
could see the blood soaked carpet under her and wondered how much blood she had
really lost. It seemed like the world slowed down. The paramedics arrived
first, they checked and left with Morgan, just as the police arrived. Kevin
wasn’t allowed to go with his wife to the hospital, so he sent Brian along.
Kevin said on the couch looking at the officers.
“
We need to know what happened here?” The officer said pulling out his paper and
pen.
“
Is this really nessisary?” AJ asked
“
Yes it is.” The officer huffed looking at AJ. Kevin nodded and looked at the
officer in front of him.
“ I
was out with my friends. First time in weeks actually, I came back home and at
first found the house empty, I thought maybe she was upstairs in one of the
bedrooms, I came out of our room to come face to face with Billy and my wife
who was bound and gagged. She looked terrified and Billy had a knife to her
throat. He threatened to kill her if I didn’t do what he wanted.”
“
And that was?” The officer asked. Kevin looked at him wide eyed, this joker had
to be kidding he had to have know about the first time.
“
Well.. well he uh.” Kevin stuttered and stumbled over his own words.
“
Well?” The officer asked losing his patience with the three men that where
still sitting in front of him.
“
He first told me to take off my cloths. Once I had gotten down as far as my
boxers, he..he moved towards me and grabbed my arms.”
“
Dude he doesn’t need to tell this to you.” AJ said looking at the officer in
anger.
“
Yes he does.”
“
Like hell. The man breaking into their home and threatening to kill them is
plenty enough to get his ass put in jail.”
“
Is this the same man that raped you the first time Mr. Richardson?”
“
Y..yes.” Kevin stuttered.
“
Thank you. Officer that will be enough.” The new man said. “ I am sorry I am
Detective Green. Mr. Richardson now that we have him in custody you will have
no more fear.” The detective said looking at Kevin.
“
Can we take him to the hospital?”
“ Sure. We will be in touch.” The detective said watching the
three men rush from the house. Kevin hadn’t even bothered to get shoes or a
shirt. AJ moved in front of his friend as cameras flashed taking pictures.
“
How is she?” Kevin asked rushing into the hospital.
“
Resting, she lost a lot of blood.”
“
How’s the baby?”
“
The baby..the baby is the problem.” Brian said looking at Kevin.
“
What’s the problem?”
“
Kevin the injury caused a miscarriage. I’m sorry.”
“
Does Morgan know?”
“ I
don’t know. I told the doctors I would wait out here for you guys. She can go
home tomorrow if she’s up it.” Brian said looking at his cousin.
“ I
want to see her.” Kevin said looking at them. Brian nodded and heading down the
hallway he showed them to the room. Kevin went into the room and pulled his
wife’s sleeping form into his arms.
“ I’m
so sorry.” Kevin whispered holding her close. Kevin kissed her forehead and
closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. Brian pulled the door closed and
sighed.
“
They’ve got a lot more a head of them. I sure hope he’s up to it.”
“ I
know. But we will be right there with them. Standing by their side the entire
way. We are family and we will show the whole world that we are standing by
each other no matter what.”
“ That’s right. And no matter what.” AJ said with a smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
five men and one woman stood on the stairs of the courthouse.
“
Are we ready?” Brian asked.
“
As ready as I will ever be.” Kevin said looking at them. Kevin stood there
dressed in his nicest suit and tie, his wife by his side in a nice dress.
“
Then let’s put this sick bastard in prison.” AJ said as they headed up the
steps and into the building. Press was everywhere and Kevin feared this coming
out and it being bad for the guys.
“
Are we sure about this?” Kevin asked fear in his voice. Morgan took his hand in
hers and looked into his fear filled green eyes.
“
Baby, everything will be fine. No matter what we are all here for you.” She
said kissing him softly. They walked into the courtroom and up to where the
prosicuter sat.
“
You ready?” The lawyer asked looking at Kevin.
“
As I’ll ever be.” Kevin said, his voice sounding braver than he was feeling.
“
At this time I’d like to Call Kevin Richardson to the stand.” The lawyer said.
Kevin stood and smoothed his suit and walked towards the witness stand.
“
Mr. Richardson I’d like to ask you what happened on the night of September the
24th of this year.” The lawyer said looking at Kevin. Kevin sighed
and then leaned forward to speak.
“ I
was home alone. My wife and bodyguard had gone out to do some shopping. I was
readying for a romantic dinner alone with her. I had heard someone come into
the house, but I hadn’t bothered to turn around thinking it was my wife
returning from shopping. I was about to turn around and face her when I felt a
gun in my back. I was ordered not to turn around. I felt a hand moving over my
bare skin. I knew it was a man’s hand by the size. It terrified me, I then felt
the man pull a blindfold over my eyes. He ordered me to not take it off, I
tried once and he hit me in the face splitting my lip. I had tried again and he
hit me in the ribs with the gun. I tried to stand and he grabbed my wrists and
tied them together and then shoved me towards the stairs, I wasn’t sure what he
was thinking at first then he shoved me into the bedroom and then tied my arms
to the headboard. I was scared of what he was going to do to me.”
“
What did he do Mr. Richardson?”
“
He raped me.” Kevin said as tears rolled down his cheeks. “ He flipped me over
and raped and beat me. I had never thought I could feel so much pain. I had
finally passed out before the end of it.”
“
Thank you Mr. Richardson that will be all.” The lawyer said. Kevin sat there
and looked at Billy, the lawyer had offered him some tissue for his crying.
Kevin remained seated as the defence attorney walked towards him.
“
Mr. Richardson.”
“
Yes sir.” Kevin said looking at the man in front of him.
“ Now
your sitting here under oath telling all of us that this man my client raped
you. How can you be sure about that, you never saw the face of your attacker?”
“
He came back to finish the job, he had returned to my house, I was out with my
friends, their idea to get me out in the world again. When I returned to the
house, I found the house empty till I had gone up to the room where the
original attack happened. I turned around and there was Billy standing behind
my wife, she was tied and gagged. I could see she was scared. He threatened to
kill her if I didn’t do what he asked.” Kevin said trying to control his tears.
“
Yet your still claiming he raped you. But still if this is the first time you
had seen your attacker how can you prove that he was the one that had done it?”
“
Because he said he did. He told my wife that he’d been watching us for a long
time. He loved me.” Kevin said looking at the man.
“
Your still sitting here telling me things that other people heard, your not
telling me that you heard him say it.”
“
He fucking tried again. He tried to rape me again. He tried to kill my wife. He
killed our unborn child.” Kevin shouted. The judge pounded his gavel on the
bench.
“
Enough. You can step down now, Mr. Richardson.” The judge said looking at Kevin.
Kevin whipped his tears away and stood and walked to where his wife was waiting
for him. Morgan pulled Kevin into her arms and let him cry on her shoulder.
Morgan looked at the lawyer.
“
Do I have to take the stand?”
“ I
am hoping not. How are you feeling Mrs. Richardson?”
“
Sick to my stomach but I’ll be fine.” Morgan said looking at him.
“ I
now Call Morgan Richardson to the stand.” The defence attorney said looking
towards her, the look on his face could make any woman sick. Morgan slid out
from under Kevin, Brian taking her place. Morgan walked up to the witness stand
and got sworn in. She sat down and looked at Billy’s attorney.
“
Mrs. Richardson.”
“
Yes.” Morgan said looking at him.
“
You know my client?”
“
Yes I do.”
“
How?”
“
He lives next door to me. I saw him every day.”
“
Now he’s here being accused of raping your husband.” The attorney said.
“
That’s because he did. He had pinned my husband to the bed the day he tried to
kill me. My husband was completely defensless with his arms tied behind him. I
couldn’t even help him. All I could do was watch him.”
“
But according to your husband he was raped six weeks before that.”
“
He was.” Morgan said calmly. Morgan’s eyes settled on Billy, she could see he
could have cared less what was going on around him. Billy’s eyes drifted in the
direction of where Kevin sat.
“
Don’t you dare look at him. Haven’t you done enough? You sick bastard because
of you, he spent six weeks afraid of the littlest sounds. And afraid of his own
friends.”
“
Now Mrs. Richardson calm down.”
“
To hell with you. Your defending this sick bastard. He tried to kill me and
rape my husband right before my own eyes. I know what I saw.” Morgan shouted.
AJ had seen quite enough and had stood from where he was.
“
Why don’t you leave her alone? She’s been threw enough.” AJ shouted. The
attorney turned and looked at him.
“
Maybe you should sit down and she should answer my questions.”
“
Fuck you.” AJ shouted as he punched the attorney.
“
ORDER IN THE COURT! RESTRAIN THIS MAN!” The judge shouted from the bench. AJ
had turned his full anger on Billy, he jumped over the table and began punching
Billy over and over.
“
You son of a bitch you should be castrated for what you did.” AJ shouted as the
guards pulled him off of him.
“
Leave him alone.” Morgan cried getting up from behind the witness stand. Kevin
looked up at the group and then down at the floor. Morgan walked over to her
husband and pulled him into her arms.
“
No further questions.” The attorney said sitting down. He looked towards Morgan
and then towards a now bloody client.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“
The judge will be making his verdict here soon.” Morgan said looking at Kevin.
Kevin nodded and slid closer to her, he could hear the press shouting questions
from where they stood. Morgan put her arm around him and held him close. Brian
moved closer as did Howie, AJ and Nick.
“ I
wish those vultures would go away.” AJ growled.
“
They will.” Howie said. He knew that this trial would be all over the news and
in a matter of time the management would be calling and Kevin didn’t need that
right now.
“
The Judge is back.” The lawyer said. Morgan nodded and led her husband back
into the court room.
“
If the defendant would stand.” The judge said. Billy stood, a smirk on his
face.
“
William H. Masters you are found guilty of all charges.” The judge said calmly.
Billy looked at the judge like he had said something stupid.
“
What?” Billy said standing.
“
Guilty of the charges of Rape in the second degree, aggravated assault,
kidnapping and attempted murder.” The judge said. “ There will be a sentencing
hearing on January 1st till then you sit in jail.” He said looking
at Billy. “ Court dismissed.” The judge said his final word and people filed
from the courtroom. Billy moved in one swift motion and dove towards Kevin.
Billy pinned Kevin to the floor, his hands around Kevin’s throat.
“ I
can’t have you no one will.” Billy screamed. Kevin clawed at Billy’s hands
trying to get him to let go. Kevin was gasping for air trying to breath. The
guards finally pulled Billy off Kevin. Kevin moved back gasping for air.
“
You don’t scare me anymore Billy, I hope you find yourself a nice friend that
will make you his bitch.” Kevin growled. Billy struggled to get free of the guards
that held his arms. Kevin turned on his heal and joined his friends and wife.
“
Let’s go home.” Kevin said taking his wife in his arms and kissed her full on
the lips. “ I love you.”
“ I love you too. Come on let’s go home.” Morgan said as they
walked out of the courthouse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin
walked threw the house and looked around at the decorations. He could hardly
believe that it had been a year already. Billy was sentenced to 25 years to
life in prison for what he had done and Kevin was finally able to move on with
his life. He was home on a break from the Backstreet Boys recent tour and he
had so missed his wife.
“
Hey baby.” Morgan said from the kitchen doorway. Kevin turned and looked at
her, she looked beautiful.
“
Hi, I’ve missed you.” Kevin said pulling her into his arms and swinging her
around.
“ I’ve
missed you too.” Morgan said kissing him, she wiggled from his embrase when she
heard the crying of a baby.
“
How is our little angel?” Kevin asked following her up the stairs. Morgan
opened the door to the bedroom and smiled as she looked at her five month old
baby.
“
Little Annie is doing just fine. She’s a healthy and beautiful baby.” Morgan
said lifting the crying baby into her arms.
“ I
couldn’t have asked for a better holiday then to spend it with my wife and
daughter.” Kevin said kissing her. Kevin took Annie from Morgan and walked out
to the living room. Sitting down in the rocker he bounced his baby girl on his
knee.
“
Daddy loves you.”
“
And she loves her daddy. I am so happy to see you happy again.” Morgan said
sitting in the chair next to him.
“
It’s been a long time coming. But everything is better.”
“
Yes I know.” Morgan said. Kevin had long since stopped seeing the therapist, and
he was more confedent and was able to talk about what had happened. Morgan
couldn’t deny that she was so very proud of him. She felt that he had taken his
biggest step when he told Billy he wasn’t afraid of him. Now he was a family
man with a child. Morgan had been scared that she wasn’t sure she could have
another child after the loss of her first one because of Billy. Morgan stood
and answered the door.
“
Hey guys what brings you around?”
“
It’s the holiday and you guys are family.” Nick said hugging her.
“
Oh face it you only came over to see Annie.” Morgan laughed.
“
Can’t deny that we love seeing that cutie pie.” AJ said heading into the house.
Morgan turned and watched the five me talking and playing with the baby. Just a
year before Kevin was depressed and withdrawn. Smiling she watched them
laughing and joking. Life was finally getting back on track, Kevin still had
his occasional nightmare but they weren’t as frequent or as bad anymore. But
Morgan was finally happy life was getting back to what they would consider as
normal.
“ Come here.” Kevin said smiling at her. Morgan walked over and
sat down in his lap. Kevin wrapped his arms around her waist, his head resting
on her shoulder. Life was finally back to normal.
The End
