Chapter Summaries & Analyses
It is the present day again, and Jenna can’t get up. He is on top of her. Beau is whining, so Ian kicks him. He tells Jenna he knows she has been to the police, and she apologizes. He believes she has told them about him, and she denies it. He then asks if she is seeing someone. He calls her a liar and hits her cheek because he knows she could not have started a new life without help. He mentions her sister, and Jenna thinks she will never forgive herself if something happens to Eve and her family. He forces Jenna to tell him, “I’m nothing” (318). He rapes her and leaves.
Jenna thinks she is bleeding afterwards. Beau is all right in the kitchen, but there is a knock at the door. It is Patrick. He wants to know if everything is all right, and she claims she fell asleep on the sofa. He came to apologize. Jenna won’t let him in, though, telling him that she doesn’t want to see him. He doesn’t blame her. She starts to cry. He says he misses her. She lies that she doesn’t want anything to do with him. He runs off.
