More Than One Night

chapter nine

Aurora

His hand on my neck grows tighter as I smell the alcohol on his breath.

"Your a little slag you know. I saw you out there with all those guys." He slurs in my ear as his grip moves up to my jaw.

"Wh- what are you do-doing Jake?" I shakily breath out, tears pricking the corner of my eyes from fear.

He has never been violent with me while we were together, even though now looking back he didn't treat me the best, but it was always his harsh words that stuck with me, he had never put his hands on me like this.

"Putting you in your place. You think you can leave me and go fuck other guys. I gave you two years of my life and you fucking leave me." He angrily slams my body into the wall. Pain shoots down my spine.

I gasp as his fingers wrap around my throat, my hands fly to his chest trying to break out of his hold. He's too strong and the alcohol has made him stronger.

"You ch-cheated on m-me. P-please J-jake, let m-me go." The pressure he has on my throat is making black spots appear in my vision.

"Your a fucking little bitch you know that. Those guys will only fuck you and move on. You don't-"

"Hey!" I hear a familiar voice.

Suddenly Jake drops his hand from my throat as I try and fill my lungs with air, his hand connects with my face hard and I drop to the ground with a thud.

"You fucking bastard!" The voice shouts.

I hear commotion next to me as I try to stay awake. My hand coming up to touch my throat where his fingers had been gripping me.

Tears stain my cheeks while there's thumping in my head.

I look to my right and see Logan beating the shit out of Jake. I sob as I hear a crack, my heart pounding in my chest.

People exiting the toilets stumble upon the fight and some guys try to pull Logan away. Jake stumbles to his feet, holding his bloody nose. He turns to me, pure anger radiating from his entire body.

"You fucking bitch! No wonder I fucked someone else!" He launches himself at me, pinning me between his body and the ground. My entire body is shaking, my eyes close expecting another blow coming my way.

But all I feel is his body being pulled back from mine. I squint my eyes open to see Mike dragging him away through the fire exit as I try and stand up. Cody rushes over to me, swinging one of my arms around his neck as he lifts my waist.

He half carries me into the staff room and sits me on a chair, pushing some hair away from my face.

"Your alright Rory. Your safe now." He turns to the fridge and grabs a bottle of water handing it over to me.

I nod and unscrew the lid, taking a small sip. My hands are shaking uncontrollably.

"I'm gonna fucking kill him!" Gabby storms into the staff room with Dean following closely behind her.

"Hey Rory, you alright?" She bends down to me and strokes my cheek. I flinch at the contact, my face still sore from the slap I just received.

I nod trying to drink more water to calm myself down.

"We'll make sure he never steps foot in here again." Cody tells me, giving me a nod as he leaves.

"Too fucking right. How dare he put his hands on you!"

I can feel tears threatening to fall again.

"Aurora?!"

Logan.
