Love, Life And The Band

11. why me?

TW: Rape⚠️

2 years later, the band has a lot of performances and they are really famous. Luke and Julie are still so much in love, Alex and Willie are also a couple as well as Flynn and Reggie. Julie just turned 19. She and Luke moved into their first little apartment with Alex and Reggie.

Julie's pov.
I sit in on my make up table in my changing room. Me and the guys had a gig today again. We played at a music restaurant and it was great! Now I'm tired. I see a text from Luke saying that i should come out to eat and drink something before we have to go home.
I open my door "ahhh!" I yell. A guy is standing there, definitely not a security guy. Oh i saw him in the growd today. What the hell is he doing here?
"Hello beautiful lady!" He says.
"Uhm excuse me." I try to walk past him but he takes my arm.
"Hey!" I yell. What? I try to get his hand of but he is too heavy.
He takes my arm and walks into my room, he locks the door and finally let go my arm.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Oh well" he walks up to me but i walk back until I lean with my back against the wall. He comes closer and closer. He takes my chin and kisses me! I tried to block him of but he gets more aggressive.
"Please stop!" I yell.

Luke's pov.
Where the hell is Julie? I texted her 30min ago. At first i thought that she is just changing so long but something is definitely not right!
"Have you seen Julie?" I ask Reggie.
"No why?" He asks.
"I texted her to come eat 30min ago" i tell him.
"Weird, oh hey!" He walks up to a girl.
Okay well I have to search for her alone. I was just about to walk backstage as a guy blocked my way.
"Hey! You can't go back there!" He says.
"What why?" I ask. Another guy walks out with a weird smile on his face.
They both walk away. What was that?
I walk to Julie's backstage room, i hear her crying. I run into her room and see Julie sitting with her back against the wall crying. Alex is with her. She has a blanket around her body.
"What happend?" I ask. I kneel down infront of Julie. She can't even look into my face, she just stares at the wall.
"She has a shock." Alex tells me.
"But what happend?" I ask. I take her hand but it seems like that she isn't even noticing.
"I don't know I just found her laying at the floor, naked" Alex says with a sad face.
"WHAT! There was a man outside, i bet it was him!!" I yell! Now Julie finally looks into my eyes all I can see is pure shock. She is shaking.
"I called the ambulance" Alex says.
"I have to help her change into some clothes!" I tell Alex.
"Okay! I'll go look if I can find the man!" Alex walks out. And i help Julie. Or i basically do it my self. She's still crying and shaking.
"It's okay hun. I'm here" I tell her.
I hear a knock on the door.
"Come in"
The Ambulance people are walking in and check on Julie. They know what happend because you can see it in her eyes. I hold her hand the whole time.
"we have to take her with us for a check up" the woman tells me. I drive with them and Julie in the Ambulance to the hospital. Alex and Reggie drove home. I sit in a waiting room and wait for my mom. I need her right now and I'm sure Julie needs her too.
"What happend!" I see mom walking up to me. She looks sad. I hug her. She pats my back.
"Sit down" she says. We sit down and she takes my hand.
"What happend? Is Julie okay?" She asks.
"I-i don't know. She got raped by a strange man in her backstage room" I tell her. I see her eyes filling with tears.
"What?" She mumbles.
"Alex found her" I say.
"Oh my god" she says. I start to tear up too.
"She is going to be okay? Right mom?" I ask. I feel like a little boy again.
"Yeah Julie is so strong!" Mom says. She gives me a tissue.
A doctor walks in. I stand up.
"Are you Luke Patterson?" The doctor asks.
"Yes"
"Please, follow me" me and mom follow the doctor into a room. Julie is sitting in a bed. Getting blood taken from a nurse.
"Hey" I sit next to her. I pat her back. She looks sad and exhausted. Julie leans her head on my shoulder. I feel my shirt getting wet. She's crying again.
"Shh it's okay, I'm here for you" I pull her into a big hug. My mom also joins.
"Oh your dad calls me, I'll go talk with him" mom walks out with the nurse.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"Yes i guess" Julie says.
"They told me that the police found the man" I tell her. She let's out a sigh of relief.
We both hug for while until Ray comes in. And i let them alone for a bit. The doctor told us that Julie can go home today again, but she should rest and take therapy lessons.
I sit down and talk with my mom, till Julie and Ray walk out of the room. I take Julie's hand and we walk to the car. I drive with Julie.
"You have to come back in 2 weeks for another check up" I say what the doctor told me.
"Okay" Julie says. I take her hand and we drive home. I just drove into the garage as I see that Julie fell asleep. Of course it's really late at night. I take her and carry her into her room. I told Alex and Reggie not to wake Julie up, even tho they wanted to talk to her.
I lay Julie into her bed and cover her with a blanket. I walk downstairs to get a snack and water for Julie when she wakes up.

2 weeks later:
Julie's pov.
I wake up to someone playing with my hair. I see into Luke's eyes.
"Good morning beautiful" he says with a very small smile.
"Morning" I say. I take a deep breath. I wish it was still a dream. It was terrible. I have to think about what happend every day and every night.
"Hey" Luke says.
"I'm here for you okay?"
"I know, thanks" I say. I jump out of bed to the bathroom and throw up into the toilet. I feel someone holding my hair back and patting my back.
"It's okay" I hear Luke say. Thinking about the man who touched me where i don't want to be touched makes me even more nauseated and that almost every day. Luke gives me a paper towel and a cup of water.
"Thanks" I take a few sips and sigh.
"The thought about the man made me extremely nauseous!" I tell Luke.
"I understand" he says.
We walk back into my room. And i lay back in bed. Luke walks downstairs to make some breakfast. I decide to call Flynn
*hey Julie*
*Hi Flynn?*
*whats up?*
*can you come over later?*
*ofc, I'll be there in 30min okay?*
*thanks*
I lay my phone on my nightstand and walk downstairs. I see Alex and Reggie eating breakfast. Luke is still making some pancakes.
"Morning Jules" Alex says.
"Morning Al morning Reg" i say.
"You look sick" Reggie says.
"Thanks Reg" i take a pancake and out some whipped cream on it.
"Sorry" he says.
"It's okay" I tell him.
"Luke you have to go grocery shopping today it's your turn" Alex reminds Luke.
"Ugh really?" Luke complains.
"Yep" Reggie laughs.
After we all ate. I get changed and wait for Flynn, Luke just left to go grocery shopping.
"Hey Jules!" Flynn walks in. She gives me a hug.
"Hi" i say. Suddenly I feel extremely nauseous again. I jump up and run to the bathroom to throw up again. Ughh!
"Oh gosh" Flynn holds my hair back.
"Thanks Flynn" I say. I lean against the bathroom wall and close my eyes.
"Does that happen often now?" Flynn suddenly asks.
"No- yeah" I say. She gives me a weird look.
"What?" I ask.
"Julie? That's a little too weird." Flynn says.
"Mhm?" What does she mean?
"Okay well you got raped like 2 weeks ago and now you throw up every morning?!" Flynn takes my hand.
No!
"No, that's impossible Flynn, i took the birth control"
"But it's not safe 100%" Flynn says.
I feel tears rolling down my face.
"Shh okay, calm down" Flynn says. She jumps up.
"Okay I'll be back soon" Flynn runs out the door and i stay into the bathroom alone with my thoughts that go crazy.
I see Alex head looking into the bathroom.
"You okay?" He asks. Alex sits next to me. I sigh. And try to clean my tears.
"Why did Flynn run outside? Did you have a fight?" He asks.
"No" I say.
He gives me a side hug.
"She's getting me something" i tell him.
Alex doesn't ask anything more and I'm grateful for that. He is just there for me.
"Okay I'm back" Flynn runs into the bathroom.
"Could you please-" Flynn looks at Alex.
"Oh yeah" he stands up and walks out.
"Here" Flynn hands me a pregnancy test.
"No- i don't want to" I complain.
"Girl you gotta do what you gotta do, i know it's terrifying and scary but I'm here for you" she says.
I take the test and then me and Flynn sit down on the bathroom floor waiting for the results. Flynn holds my hands.
"Flynn?" I ask.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks" I say.
Flynn pulls me into a side hug.
*beep beep*
Oh no the timer went off.
"Okay let's do this" Flynn says.
I take the test and turn it around.

And I see 2 clear stripes.
I bury my face into my hands and start crying. I hear Luke's voice in the background. And i feel Flynn stand up and someone sitting next to me pulling me into a hug. I lay my face onto Luke's chest and cry and cry and cry. He pats my back.
After I calmed down a little i ask Luke
"do you leave me now?"
"What? No!" He says.
"I'm never gonna leave you Julie!" Luke says.
