Last Hope - (Sarah Paulson & Holland Taylor)

ASSAULT

TW : Mention of Self-Harm, PTSD, Rape, Violence

Sarah POV :

"Hello Helena, I'm sorry to bother you, I know it's late but we're having an issue with Lizzie... She ran away, after cutting deeply her arms and staying in a vegetative state for a day. But the major problem here is that I have absolutely no idea where she is." I said, squeezing the phone to prevent breaking down.

Helena told me she would call the cops because they had to make an alert about Lizzie disappearance. She also said that she would come to our house to look for some evidences of where she could be.

She arrived quickly, with some cops.

"Good evening Miss Paulson." She said sternly.

I immediately started to apologize. "I don't know what to say, you can't imagine how sorry I am !" I cried.

"It's okay, it's not the first time she run away. But I thought everything was going well here. Is there something I don't know ?" Helena asked.

"No ! I also thought she was fine with us, she started to be more comfortable and she seemed happier. I really don't know what happened." I answered and Helena put her hand on my shoulder.

"We'll find her, don't worry."

Helena and the cops did a tour of the house, looking for a clue but as they found nothing, they suggested me to get in a car and Holland in another in order to help them finding Lizzie. We immediately agreed and I walked into a police car. We drove in the same roads where I had driven nearly an hour ago, but Lizzie was still no where to be seen.

Lizzie POV :

They guy came closer to me with a smile on his face which scared me even more.

"Hi pretty girl, what are you doing alone in the night ?" He asked in a raspy voice.

"No-nothing." I replied shakily.

He came even closer to me. "You know it can be dangerous for lovely girls like you."

"Yes, I- I'm sorry. I probably should co-come home."

"No, not so fast." He said grabbing my arm. His grip on my wounds made me wince in pain but he didn't seemed to care.

"I'm not going to hurt you babe." He said, but I was in a total panic state.

"P-please, let m-me go." I stuttered.

"But we didn't have fun yet !" He laughed and put his hands violently around my waist. He then started kissing my neck when I saw a car approaching.

I tried to get him off of me and run to the car but he had a firm grip on my body and we both fell on the ground.

"Don't try that again bitch !" He yelled slapping my face.

I turned to give a last sight at the car when I noticed it was a police car. And just before it turned across another street, I saw Sarah through a window.

"Sarah ! SARAH !!" I screamed but I just earned another slap. Then the man pulled down his pants and mine too. He completely undressed me and quickly penetrated me. I screamed and cried in pain but it made him laugh, and go harder, until I stopped moving. I just froze and waited for the assault to be over.

I had been raped so many times before, I knew how to block my mind from what was happening to my body. Finally the guy put back on his clothes and let me laying naked on the ground.

"I'm taking that. See you soon babe." He said taking the bottle of vodka he bought me before and he left.

Ashamed of what just happened, I put my clothes back on my shaking body and I let myself fall against the tree. I closed my eyes but I could still feel him inside me and when I rubbed my painful cheek, I felt a bruise forming on it.

The police car left a long time ago, it was no use to run after it, even if I wanted so badly to be taken care of by Sarah. I couldn't stand up so I just stayed here, until I eventually fell asleep, mostly because of the cold weather outside.
