Chapter 18

I stood frozen on the spot as fear stirred up inside me. Even the curtains against the window were dark and heavy blocking out the night's sky. Again I spoke into the silence, "Is anyone there...?" I stuttered out of fear but there was no response.

I was about to take a step forward when I heard the floor board creek which automatically made my eyes begin to water. My heart was pounding hard against my chest. I was so scared I wanted to burst into tears. I already had a fear of the dark and being in here in the darkness with some unknown person had me shaking and hyperventilating.

"Who's there?" I cried out again - silence.

I didn't know what to do as my body stood paralyzed in one spot, so I decided to try screaming for help. The second I was about to open my mouth a cold hand clamped over it preventing any sound from escaping my lips. I panicked and tried to scream but it was muffled against the unknown hand. The hand was too big to be a girl's so I knew it had to be a guy's.

Swiftly I turned around and was about to start hitting him, but he completely overpowered me. He pushed me hard in the shoulder as I went flying across the room and my head smashed against something hard as I felt warm liquid begin to cover my head. Dizzily, I reach up and touched the thick liquid oozing out of my head and instantly I knew it was blood.

I began to scream at the top of my lungs. I felt his hands wrap around my ankles as he pulled me down towards him. "Shut up!" He hissed.

I tried to put a face to the voice but I was too panicked to focus. Rivers of tears were now flowing down my cheeks as I squirmed to get away but his hold on me was too strong. I could feel my strength fading and my body began to shake with pure terror as I realized I couldn't escape.

"What's wrong Stasee? You can go around kissing everyone tonight but me?!" He gritted through his teeth. "I saw you with Damen on the lawn and then Derrek in the kitchen. What about me, don't I get one!"

He locked my feet down with his legs as he began crawling on top of me. I tried to punch him but he blocked it by grabbing both my arms and pinning them against the floor. I screamed out in pain as my wrists were smashed with force between the floor and his hands. My head was still pounding and I could feel the blood dripping down my neck and soaking my back.

"Please..." I cried out, "J-just let me go...I'm so-sorry! I'll give you a-a kiss if that's what you want..." I stuttered through my sobs. My breathing was erratic I kept gasping but felt like I couldn't get enough air into my lungs.

A malicious chuckle came from him as he began forcing his legs between mine. "No, I want more than a kiss."

I tried to keep my legs together, but he was too strong and heavy. I screamed out again, wondering where the hell everyone was. This was supposed to be a party surely people had to of heard my screams, why wasn't anyone coming? I felt so alone and scared and vulnerable.

"You had better shut up!" He threatened me. I could tell he was growing impatient because his voice was growing angrier. He was sweating and his breathing had quickened but I could tell he was also becoming excited.

He pushed both my hands together and held them above my head with his right hand. Even both my hands were no match against his one as I tried pulling them away unsuccessfully. He spread my legs open when I tried to kick him away but he barely even flinched. He was big and I'm not talking about muscles, his round body barely fit between my legs making it almost impossible to move them.

With his free hand he ripped the strap off my dress exposing my naked chest to him. Immediately I wished I had never worn this, I wished I had never changed my look to try and make Damen jealous! My loud sobs were now mixed in with hiccups as I began to give up and let my body go limp.

Suddenly his hand was at my throat blocking my airway, squeezing and pushing me down against the floor using his weight to exert more force. "Stop fucking crying!" He growled as his grip got tighter and tighter. I tried gasping for air but nothing came as my body began to shake from lack of oxygen. I felt light headed and thought I was going to black out. Stay awake I told myself, don't black out! I found the energy and the will to struggle against his death grip. I turned my head from side to side and bucked my whole body bracing myself with my feet on the floor. He grinned and laughed as he said "That's it Stasee, struggle it'll make it feel better for me!" He moved in to kiss me and I could into his eyes, which were glassy and cold. I could smell his sour breath. I felt nauseous as my stomach began churning. I turned my head and he kissed and licked the side of my neck.

He finally let go of my throat and moved his hand move downward as I breathed in sharply, gasping in deep gulps of air. His hand ran over my breasts squeezing roughly and pinching my nipples making me moan in pain. He put his mouth on my breast and encircled the nipple before biting down. I could feel his breath on my skin making it crawl. He paused to look at me to see the terror in my eyes. Then his hand began moving its way down between my breasts and inside the top half of my torn dress triggering an alarm inside me.

"Please!" I begged.

"I said shut the fuck up!" Suddenly the black of his hand slapped hard against my face as my cries grew louder.

The sound of something smashing against the other side of the door made us turn our heads toward the noise. He froze, his eyes wide for a brief moment, and that was all I needed to push him as hard as I could. He didn't move very far but it gave me the chance to wriggle free and try to get up.

"Open it dude!" I heard Damen yell on the other side of the door.

"Fuck, I'm trying to find the key!" Derrek yelled back.

"Damen!" I screamed as I jumped to my feet and attempted to run for the door. The guy got to me first as he clamped his hand onto my arm and threw me hard against the floor. I screamed out in agony.

I heard another smash on the door.

"If you fucking break that you're paying for it!" Derrek yelled.

"Shut up!" Damen yelled back as he smashed against the door again.

Suddenly, I was grabbed by my hair and dragged across the floor toward the closet. I didn't want to scream anymore because I knew it would drive Damen mad but I couldn't help it. My loud excruciating screams echoed throughout the house. I felt like he was ripping my scalp off my head.

I tried to see what he was doing when I heard him open up the closet door but at the same time I heard the deadbolt click unlocked as the door swung open. Damen rushed into the bedroom with Derrek slowly tagging behind.

I finally looked up at the boy and saw his red hair, freckled face and his chunky body. It was Liam.

"You fucking bastard!" Damen shouted. It was the first time I had ever heard Damen swear. He ran toward Liam and punched him in the face before Liam even had a chance to react.

Liam smashed against the wall behind him as he slid to the floor with a big thud. He looked up at Damen as blood began to gush out of his nose. "You know your little angel was fooling around with Derrek not even ten minutes ago." Liam stated with pure malice.

A look of hurt flashed across Damen's face as instant regret wash over me. I had never felt so dishonest and unworthy in my life. I wished I could just curl up into a little ball and disappear forever. Damen's face quickly changed to anger as he kicked Liam hard in the ribs making Liam scream out in pain.

"Fuck you Liam, you don't know shit!" Derrek finally spoke up as he pushed Damen out of the way. He grabbed Liam by his shirt and pulled him up with little effort, "I told you to stay away from Stasee!" It was Derrek's turn to punch Liam but this time as Liam fell to the ground he was completely knocked out.

I was sitting there looking down at Liam's unconscious body while my own body was shaking uncontrollably. I felt Damen's arms wrap around me as I rested my head in his chest, tears streaming down my face.

"What are we going to do with him?" Damen questioned Derrek.

"What can we do?"

"Well, she can charge him...Can't she?"

"Ha! Not likely, Liam's dad is one of McLennan's most respected Judges and his mom is that fucking sexy and sweet nurse at the hospital." Derrek said as he analyzed Liam's body. "Who do you think they're going to believe? Liam - the son of two extremely respected adults or Stasee - the weird loner girl?"

"What did you just say?" Damen snapped defensively.

"Whoa, calm down dude. I like Stasee, she's cool shit but that is how people are going to look at it."

Derrek was right, if people had to choose to believe Liam or I at least ninety percent would believe him. I was starting to not even care as I sat there in Damen's arms. All I wanted was to get out of here before Liam woke up. My head was still pounding and my face and neck were burning from the assault.

"What about Stasee's parents, they're hard working adults." Damen continued.

"Stasee's parents are like ours, business workers. They're never around here so no one knows them enough to respect them. Our parents might as well be phantoms."

Derrek had another valid point. I reached up and tugged on the top of Damen's shirt. He looked down at me with loving eyes as his arms lightly tightened around me. "Can't we go...?" I whispered to him.

"Of course we can." Damen picked me up as he pulled me to my feet, holding me in a bridal stance while tying my dress back together. He turned to Derrek before we left the room, "Oh, when Liam wakes up...tell him he had better watch his back!" and carried me out of the room.

Once Damen placed me in his truck my eyelids began to shut as sleep and exhaustion had taken over. All the alcohol I drank along with almost being raped left me completely drained. The soothing sounds of "The Spill Canvas" playing out of Damen's truck's speakers soothed me to sleep.

~*~

My eyes fluttered open as I felt myself being placed down on a soft bed. I looked around and realized I was in my bedroom as a small smile appeared on my face. "Thanks for everything." I whispered.

Damen smirked wolfishly as he bent down and pressed his lips against my forehead shooting my favourite tingles throughout my body. He turned around and began to head for my bedroom door.

"Damen?" He looked back at me, "Can you stay with me tonight?"

Sadness washed over his face, "My parents are supposed to be coming in sometime tonight, I kind of have to be home." I felt my lips purse into a frown. "But I can stay until you fall asleep..."

"I'd love that." I whispered back.

He walked over to me and lifted up the blanket before crawling into my bed. I felt his arms coil around me as I lay securely wrapped up in his embrace. I turned to face him as I rested my head on his chest. My stomach was fluttering happily as I listened to his heart beat fast in his chest. Sleep then took over.
