Burning Rose

Dreams

Warning!! Rape scene!

Rose's POV

*dreams*

My heart was beating so fast, I felt it in my throat. Running through empty streets in town near my home, I felt desperate to find someone who could help me. It is nearly midnight and everyone seems to be asleep. I heard footsteps behind me, so I started running faster. 

˝Come on love, we wont hurt you...˝ I heard behind me and a few other boys laughing.

I felt my eyes burn from tears I was holding back as I tried to save myself from a group of boys chasing me. My feet already hurt and I feel so tired, but I repeat to myself that i run for my life.

I tried running left and right through the streets, making difficult for them to find them, and hoping they will lose me or simply give up. I was far away from home so this was the only option for me. Making a turn to the left, stepping into darker road than ones before, I ran down to the end, finding out I came to the end and there is no escaping for me now.

I turned around, seeing 3 boys already behind me, smiling and looking at me lustfully.

˝Oh, there you are˝ said the tall blonde one

˝Please, just leave me alone˝ I cried, tears running down my red cheeks.

˝But we have just started having fun baby˝ said the second, shorter one.

They came so close to me I started having trouble breathing. One of them raised his hand, grabbing my hip and started moving his hand up and down my thigh. I started shaking under his touch, crying and begging him to stop, but he moved his hand between my legs, under my skirt,  smiling to himself.

˝Good one Oliver˝ said the tall blond boy.

˝Now let's see, what do we have under this dress of yours, shall we...˝ said Oliver.

By the time I tried to resist, the other two boys grabbed me by my hands and one of them unzipped my knee-length dress, making it to fall on the floor. I tried to kick, scream, move, but it was all for nothing. 

˝Do not move, you'll like it, you'll see.˝ Oliver said, unzipping his trousers and pulling them down to his knees.

He grabbed me by my hips and started getting closer and closer to me, I screamed on top of my lungs but no one helped me.

˝MOM, DAD, HELP ME!!!! MOOOOOM...˝

I woke up, sweat dripping down my face, breathing fast and feeling my heart pound. The door of my room opened and a figure entered, making my head snap in the direction of the movement. I jumped to the other side of my bed, wanting to scream, but I had no energy left in me.

˝Hey, it's OK, it's just me. ˝ my dad came into my room, switching the lights on, making my eyes hurt from a sudden change of light. ˝What happened, you were screaming. Again, Rose.˝

˝Just a bad dream˝ I said, catching my breath, trying to calm myself down.

˝This bad dreams of yours are happening quite often for the past month.˝

˝I don't know what to say dad, it is just bad dream. I'm probably tired because of school˝ trying to avoid further questions in laid back down, turning my back to my dad.

He sighed, switched the lights out ˝We will talk tomorrow, now get some rest. Good night, I love you˝

˝I love you too dad. Good night.˝ I tried to hold back my tears as he exited the room, closing the door behind him. I turned around on my back, staring at the ceiling and letting tears fall down my temples. 

*flashback*

It has been one month since I went to that party. The night my life changed. Me and my friend Emma barely convinced my parents to let me out with her for one night to a party in the town. It was a party at her cousins Tom apartment he made when he moved in. Preparing the whole evening with Emma was the best. We helped each other with make up and hair and then her boyfriend came to get us and together we went to that party. 

We met a few new people, but mostly we were drinking that night. After few hours Emma got so drunk that her boyfriend had to take her to a room so she would get some sleep.

I saw a boy watching me across the room so I went there to talk to him.

˝Hi there. My name is Rose.˝ I  said with a smile.

˝Hi Rose, I'm Oliver. And this are my friends Lucas and Noah.˝ he pointed at two boys, one short and dark brown hair, the other taller with light brown hair. They smiled and waved at me and I waved back.

Oliver was a tall, blond hair boy and very good looking. He looked at me from head to toes and said  ˝how old are you love?˝

˝19, and you?˝ 

˝23. Are you from here?˝ 

˝Yes, I live near the city...˝

He stopped me, leaning close to my ear whispering  ˝Hey, why don't  we cut with the bullshit, we both know why we are here.˝ 

At that moment  the room temperature rose for a few degrees and I looked him in the eyes saying ˝what do you mean?˝

He smiled  ˝come, we can get a room right away and get to it.˝

I frown my eyes, taking a step back saying  ˝I don't know what you mean. This was a mistake. Sorry...

*End of flashback*

I shaked my head, getting rid of bad memories from one month ago. Dad said we will talk in the morning, but I don't want to. They tried to talk to me several times, but I just don't want to open up about it, not even letting them get a feeling that something had happened. Even Emma does not know what happened that night, she just thinks I took a bus back home, she was too drunk to remember anything.

I just don't know how to handle everything anymore. I need time to think and to heal, but with my parents constantly breathing behind my back, wanting to know what is wrong, taking me to see different doctors, I just can't focus. I hope they will give up eventually, till now every doctor saw a 19 year old girl who just does not want to participate in treatment process, giving my parents same information over and over again.

But who knows, maybe tomorrow will be the last time they talk to me about this. 

I turn around, taking a look at the hour on my phone. It is 2 AM. Exhausted from my dreams, I slowly drift back to sleep.
