~Ann's Point of View~

I was slightly shocked when he said he was sorry, I knew for a fact that wasn't his style, he saw no wrong in the things he did, he felt no remorse, but then...it looked like it physically pained him to say it and I would be lying if I said it didn't shock me.  I wasn't a hundred percent sure what to do once I heard the door to the bedroom slam. I stood for a moment before my stomach made the desition that it was time for me to eat. I shuffled into the dark, stainless steel kitchenette, looking around for something to subside me. I opened the fridge to be bathed in the dull light blinking a little and pulling put a carton of leftover Chinese food, sitting on the counter looking at my phone he had left on the counter in front of me. I could call for help...I could try and fight the control, Jess would find him and kick his ass and that would be that but...

"Hey Jessie" I said timidly once she picked up knowing I was in for an ear full.

"Annie?! Where the hell are you?! Tell me and I'll come and get you!" she was frantic that made me even worse as I sigh and bite my lip, "I'm ok sis...I..I was called away again, Fury would be on both our asses if I didn't go right away...I can't exactly say where I am but I'm safe and all set, I just wanted to check in on my down time" It was partially true..I don't think he would hurt me, be a creep and annoying as all hell, yeah, but not physically injure. "I promise I'll call when I can and check in K?" I ask hoping that my upbeat voice would put her mind at ease for at least a small frame of time, "O...ok...be safe Ann" she whispers causing my heart to ache, "Always sissy" I whisper back using the name for her I used to when I was too small to properly say, Jessica. I could almost feel her smile through the phone, "Love ya kid"

"Love ya too Jess, talk soon" I say gently hanging up and feeling like utter crap, I shouldn't have lied to her, especially about this...but I still wanted answers and she would just kill him, like she had the right to, but still, I just needed a little more time...
