Chapter 8

“God Isaac! Are you even listening to me?”  His girlfriend shouted, breaking Isaac out of his focus.

            “Sorry Jas- I was just, ah, thinking,” he said not meeting her glaring eyes.  She sighed and started walking down the hall of the dorm. 

            “Honestly, sometimes I feel like you don’t even love me anymore,” the tanned brunette sighed.

            “Well- I, ah,”

            “Isaac…? What are you trying to say?”

            “I think it’s time for us to see other people.  Come on Jas, it’s been a year” Her face dropped.  She had no words to express her feelings, but she had a motion.  She held up her middle finger at him and ran off, tears streaming down her eyes.  Isaac trudged down the hall, towards the stairs.  Before he knew it, he was sitting down outside Audrey and Shauna’s room.  He buried his face in his hands and wondered if his recent actions were a huge mistake.  Suddenly, he heard a bang from inside the room.  He shook the feelings of mystery but stuck his head up against the door.  He heard 2 voices fighting, what sounded like Audrey’s voice and a deep males voice.  Audrey’s voice screamed with utter pain.  What was going on in there? He thought.  The male voice tried to keep her calm.

”It’s okay babe, everything is okay.”  The man said as Audrey screamed again and then everything went quiet.  Isaac slowly stood up and reached into his pocket to pull out the extra key that Shauna had given him earlier that week so he could get in when she wasn’t there.  He put the key into the lock of the door and slowly turned it.  He tried to be as silent as possible so that he wouldn’t be heard from the inside the room.  Just as he started to push on the door, it flung open, revealing the guy that was in Audrey’s room the day she ran into the door.  Audrey sat on bed, passed out cold.

“What the actual fuck,” the guy muttered.  Isaac’s eyes widened in surprise. 

“Why is Audrey passed out on the bed?” He said straitening his back.

“Well, she, uh, hit her head in the car as we were on our way to a concert,” the guy said stuttering.  Isaac shook his head and walked over to the guy.  Due to Isaac’s height, he towered over the guy by almost 7 inches. 

“Dude, come on you know rape is sick, right?”  Isaac said running his hand through his hair.  “Especially with the best girl in this shit hole.”  The guy’s eyes widened as if he knew what was coming next.  Isaac kicked the guy in the groin and then punched him in the face.  Once the guy ran out of the room in pain, Isaac sprinted over to the bed and stored Audrey’s hair off her face.

“Audrey, Hun, wake up,” he said sitting down on the bed.  She groaned a moved her hands to her right hip.  Fluttering her eyes open, she looked up at Isaac.  He gave her his infamous smile and leaned down toward her face.  Just before they met, she shook her head. 

“Isaac… You have a girlfriend.  Stop trying to cheat on her,” she said as a tear ran down her cheek. 

“Correction had.”  He said leaning in again.  This time their faces clashed together but it all seemed so right.  Audrey pulled back and smiled.

“Hey, I thought you’d want to know what happened to me before you try to hook up with me,” she said glaring at him.

“I mean, true, I’d like to hear the whole story,” Isaac said nodding his head.  And Audrey started the story of Jon and the rape issue.  5 minutes later, Isaac pulled out his phone.

“We should probably report this,” Audrey said laying her head on Isaac’s shoulder.

“Yeah good idea, but tomorrow.  I’m really tired” Isaac said weakly smiling.

“Me too,” she said climbing under the covers and opening the other corner for Isaac.  "Just don't rape me, okay?" She said smirking. "But seriously. Don't."
