Chapter 11

Jill threw down her cards. "You are too good for me."

Noah yawned. "I think I'm getting tired."

Jill was disappointed. "Come on one more hand. I've got to win eventually."

Noah shook his head. "Maybe tomorrow."

He got his crutches and headed for his room. Jill watched him.
/////////////////////////////
Noah got ready for bed. He climbed in and put his crutches on the floor. He looked up and saw Jill. She was standing in the doorway wearing a nightgown. "Jill what are you doing here?"

Jill walked over to the bed. "We were having so much fun I didn't want it to end." She leaned over and kissed Noah, her hands behind her back.

Noah grabbed her and pushed her away. "Jill, you are really nice, but I don't think of you that way."

Jill brought her hands from behind her back. She grabbed Noah's arm and handcuffed it to the bed. "Don't act like that sweetie. I know you like me. I can tell by the way you look at me."

Noah pulled at the handcuff. "What are you doing?"

Jill smiled. "I know, it's probably a little kinky, but you'll like it."

Just then there was a knock on the door.

Jill looked towards the door. "Who could that be?"

Noah looked at Jill. "Someone is here, why don't you just let me go?"

Jill reached over and opened the drawer in the nightstand. She pulled out another set of handcuffs. "Put your other hand up."

Noah protested. "No, I won't"

The person knocked again.

Jill leaned in towards Noah's ear. "I wouldn't want whomever is at the door to get hurt."

Noah, realizing that Jill was not who he thought she was, reluctantly put up his other hand. She cuffed it to the bed, then she pulled out a piece of duct tape. She placed the tape on his mouth.

She got up to answer the door. "Who could that be. You be quiet. I will be right back." She kissed her hand and placed it on Noah's cheek.

The person was now banging on the door.

Jill closed the door to Noah's room as she put on her robe. She opened the door to find Luke standing there. "Can I help you?"

Luke walked in. "I had some more questions for you."

Jill stepped to the side. "You were with Ben the other day?"

Luke nodded. "Yeah. The other day when we stopped by you had asked us in for tea.

Jill nodded. "Yes, but it is a little late for tea now."

Luke smirked "I know. It's just that I was thinking about that and I remember that you already had two cups out. I found that strange since you are here alone."

Jill was getting impatient and wanted Luke to leave. She didn't want to answerer his questions, but knew that she had too. "It's my mother's tea set. I always keep all the cups together."

Luke was getting tired of playing her little game. "Where is he?"

Jill looked at Luke confused. "Where is who?"

Luke raised his voice. "Noah." He looked around and began to call. "Noah, where are you."

Jill played innocent until there was a noise from the other room. She looked towards Noah's room. Luke grabbed Jill and placed her on the sofa. "You sit there." He pointed at her face. "...and don't move."

Luke then went into the other room. He opened the door and saw Noah. "Noah."

Luke ran to the bad, his eyes full of tears. He reached up and grabbed the handcuffs. "What has she done to you?"

He took the tape off his mouth. Noah looked at Luke. "Luke?"

"Oh Noah. I'm so glad I found you." Luke gave Noah a big kiss and then sat back.

Noah looked at him. "Why did you do that?"

Luke looked at Noah, confused by his question. "Because you're my boyfriend."

Noah looked at Luke confused, but his confusion was interrupted by Jill. "Get away from my husband."

Jill was standing in the doorway with a shotgun. Noah looked at Jill, even more confused. "I'm not your husband."

Luke turned towards Jill. "What are you talking about?"

Jill pointed the gun at Luke. "We were doing just fine until you came along."

Noah was watching Jill, when he started to remember his father holding the gun on Luke. "Jill put down the gun."

Jill looked at Noah. "I'll get rid of him and we can go back to the way we were."

Noah tried to free himself from the cuffs. As Jill threatened Luke's life, all that they had been through in order to be together started to come back. He remembered his father at the station and him stopping him from hurting Luke. "Don't you dare hurt him."

Jill lifted the gun and was about to shoot when Jack grabbed her from behind. He took the gun from her and handed it to Holden. He then proceeded to place his own set of cuffs on her.

Luke let out a sigh of relief. "Boy, am I glad to see you guys."

Holden walked over. "You guys okay?"

Both boys nodded. "Do you have a key?" Luke asked.

Jack went through the pockets of Jill's robe and found a key. He handed it to Luke. Luke uncuffed Noah. He rubbed Noah's wrist. "Are you okay?"

Noah looked at Luke. "I'm fine. I remembered my father attacking you..." He looked down at Luke's legs. "...but you were in a wheelchair."

Luke smiled. "Yeah, but I'm better thanks to you."

Noah smiled. "Now I have you to thank."

Jill tried to get away from Jack and began to cry. "No you can't leave me again."

Jack led her into the other room.

Holden watched as the two boys hugged. "It looks like you hurt your leg. We should get you to the hospital to be checked out."

Noah looked at Holden. "Okay. Will you stay with me." Noah said looking at Luke.

Luke smiled. "I'm not going to let you out of my sight again."
