Enjoy :D

I finish up 7th period, and head over to my locker.

I pull out my binders and different notebooks, leaving what I don't need.
I lock it and head down the hall, waving to my friends.

I'm walking home today.
I used to do all this all the time when I didn't have a license.

I wave to my friends as I walk down the sidewalk.

I connect my AirPods blasting 5 Seconds of Summer's new hits: Complete Mess, 2011, Take My Hand.
I whistle and continue down the street, saying goodbye to the school.

As I walk down, I reach the shops.
I go into a small Harris Teeter, getting some bread for Dad.
He likes to carboload whenever Liza goes back to school.

I wave, leaving and playing hopscotch.

All is fine and carefree until someone yanks on my arm, pulling me into an alley.

I feel someone cover my mouth, making it impossible to scream.
I bite my captors hand, and they cuss.

"Shit!"

"It's just Ari, you noob!" A familiar voice says. "Just tie her down!"
I wince at the mis-gendering.

It's Alessio, I realise.
The thought makes me want to faint.

I kick and fight, my tiny body betraying me.
They tie me up, before one of the masked attackers start touching me, giving me bruises.

"Ow, please stop!" I scream, which only seems to turn them on.
I kick and thrash, when Alessio steps on my leg, twisting it.
I make a pained noise.

"That is right deadname," He continues.

I make another noise.
I start to cry when Alessio's hands start roaming my body in an appropriate way.

I scream against this rando's hand, praying for any deity to help.
His hands continue, until they reach more sensitive places, undoing buttons and touching me.
I scream and scream, until the whole world fades to darkness around me.

I wake up and blink from all the light.
The past events go through my head.
I gasp, looking around.

"Hey, hey," Kendall says.
He is sitting next to me, bending over.
"Ari, Ari," He mutters. "It'll be ok."

His fingers run through my hair gently.

I breathe out, trying to calm my hyperventilating.
"Where am I?" I ask.

"My house," Kendall replies. "I carried you back after finding you in that alleyway."
I freeze slightly, nodding.

He mutters, almost inaudibly,
"I should have gotten there faster."

I shake my head, wincing slightly.
"I-I'm a-alright."

Kendall looks at me incredulously.
"You're not alright, Ari, you're stuttering. Alessio fucking raped you. Your dad has already called the school, and is going to the cops soon. That's why you're here and not in your house."

I blink.
"W-whoa."
He nods, standing.
"D-don't g-go."

Kendall blushes.
"I'm not going anywhere, Clare. I'm just going to get some pizza bagels, and some video game controllers."
I blush slightly, laying back down.

He comes back a couple minutes later, putting the plate on the table and handing me a controller.
I take it from him, my fingers weakly gripping the handles.

He sits next to me, and I move, curling into his side.
This is my safety.
He pulls me into him, his arm holding me protectively.

I've never felt this weak.

Kendall's player one, and he presses 'The Sims 4', and the entrance theme plays.
"Remember when you said that you didn't know how to play the Sims?"
I nod.

"Well, I'm going to let you join me in my world, once you made your sim."
My jaw drops.
"Really?"

He nods, kissing my forehead.
I blush.

He hands over the main controller, and I write my name into it.
I design myself, and smile slightly.

All the cc and mods are in place, and he's added everything.
"Whoa," I mutter. 
Kendall grins.

I see the LGBTQIA+ mod and I click on the activist affirmation.
"This is incredible, Kendall."

He smiles, pulling me to him.
He kisses my brow, and we start the world in San Myshuno. 

"You ready to join?" 
I nod.
"More than ready."
