Justin ran back to the passenger side sulking as he slid into the black shiny seat.
It took 15 minutes to drive back to the mansion. Joey pulled up 100 yards from the gates and they ran the rest of the way, darting behind the gates brick columns.
“Where is he?” Justin demanded.
Lance jerked his head towards the house. “Scott carried him inside.”
“Carried?” Joey and Justin echoed each other’s concern.
“Why was he being carried? Was he unconscious?”
“He seemed to be awake, but he looked bad, all pale and floppy looking.”
Justin looked at the top of the wall judging its height. “Then why are we just standing here doing nothing?” He grabbed Joey. “Give me a boost.” He said. The dark Italian linked his fingers and waited for Justin to place his foot in them.
“I guess if you can’t beat them …” Lance said as he offered his hands to Chris.
The brunettes’ mans teeth shone in the half-light. “Wait a minute.” He ran over to the car and popped the trunk. He came running back over to where the others were still waiting. “Now I’m ready,” he said holding a crowbar in his hands .
David knew he had to work fast. He went down into the basement and opened an old shabby chest. He rummaged around breaking into a manic grin when he found what he was looking for. He stuffed the steel handcuffs into his back pocket and went back upstairs. Using the garage connecting door he prepared the car making sure he left the passenger door wide open. He then went back into the house and up the stairs to the bedroom.
JC lay curled on the bed lost in the drug induced sleep. David smiled lovingly and sat down beside him. He brushed the brunettes hair back from his face and cupped his chin. “I love you so much Jason, and I’m going to ensure that we are together for eternity, just like we promised at our wedding. I forgive you my precious for running off like you did. You’re back now, mine again.” He leaned down and kissed JC’s slightly pouted mouth tenderly. He gazed lovingly at his husband for a few seconds then sighed. Rolling JC carefully onto his belly he pulled his hands behind his back cuffing them tightly. Then he rolled him onto his back. He reached into his nightstand drawer and pulled out a roll of tape. He tore a strip off and leaning back over JC he took one more kiss before pressing the tape over his mouth. He sat back and checked his watch, he would be waking up soon, and he did want him to be awake for the journey someone to talk to or he should say at being as JC was going to be gagged and unable to speak. David forced himself back into motion. No point in wasting time. He lifted his husband up, hoisting him over his shoulder in a fireman’s lift. He carried him down to the garage and sat him into the car pulling his seatbelt over him clicking it in place so he was effectively tied to his seat. David closed the door and went round to the drivers side and climbed in. He put on his seatbelt and sat back to wait for his husband to wake up.
JC was disorientated; last he remembered he was laying in his and David’s bed. Now he was strapped into the car. His arms ached and his mouth was dry. He turned to look at the greying man next to him and tried to speak. Fear filled his heart as he realised he was gagged. He struggled in his seat tugging at the metal restraints locked round his wrists. David sat wordlessly staring at the garage doors. He looked over at the whimpering man next to him and smiled a resigned look on his face. “ We are going away my love, somewhere where we can be together forever and no-one, no-one will ever get between us again.” David stroked the side of JC’s face wiping away the tears that had begun to roll slowly over the chiselled cheeks.
He started the car, rolling down the windows. “We need some music don’t you think, to make the journey go quicker.” He pushed play on the cd player starting the disc he had put in there earlier.
Ooh, ooh
When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
When standing here all alone
Justin’s dulcet tones flooded from the speakers. Recognition registered in JC’s eyes as he stared at the origin of the music. “I love this song.” David said softly “My favourite bit is coming up soon.”
I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun
JC began to cough behind his gag as the fumes seeped into his lungs. He fought hard against his seat belt his eyes streaming.
Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Until the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
David laid back in his seat breathing deeply, “Don’t struggle Jason, it will be much easier if you just relax.”
A sound of splitting wood made David sit upright. “It looks like someone wants to ruin our last journey together honey.” He pushed the car into gear. “I love you Jason.” He said as he drove full pelt at the doors.
Just close your eyes each loving day
And know this feeling won't go away
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you.
