The Truth Comes Out Eventually... // Nate Maloley

Chapter 6

It's been a weird couple of weeks that's for sure. Ever since that night I told Jack everything, me and him have gotten a lot closer. I mean we have always been close but he has just really been there for me lately more than usual. He is the only one that really knows what's going on and the only one I can talk to right now. I think Nate is still sneaking around with Sabrina. I don't talk to him that much unless I have too. It isn't as awkward as you would think. We all kind of just do our own thing in the house. Everyone has been crazy busy the past couple days and I don't think there has been a moment where all of us were in the house at the same exact time.

I woke up a little earlier today. For some odd reason I was feeling good, happy at least. I took a shower and got dressed into some leggings and one of the guys t-shirts. I let my hair air dry into its wavy self and I threw on my thick black framed glasses instead of my contacts. I walked down stairs and was 100% shocked to see everyone sitting on the couch watching tv. Johnson was on his phone, Sam was eating a bowl of cereal, Nate was on his laptop, and Jack was just laying down. But we were all in the same room. All sitting on the couch all at the same time. I took a seat next to Jack G lifting his legs and resting them back on my lap. He said morning then focused back to the news. I stared at Nate as I sat there. I don't even think he knew I walked into the room. But all of a sudden I was snapped out of my gaze when I heard the tv.

"A police hunt is on for a man who is believed to have raped 17 girls in the state of California." The news reporter started to say.

"That's so fucked up." Sam yelled at the tv.

"Shhh." I said looking at him then focusing back to the story. He gave me a weird glare but I shrugged it off. They were now interviewing one of the victims.

"I was walking home from a friends house that night when he approached me from behind. He began attacking me and he was way to strong for me to fight back. He threw me in his van and started driving. Once we came to a stop I thought he was letting me go but once a few minutes went by the van door swung open and another girl was thrown in. She was short and skinny with long brown hair and brown eyes. She was very tan. A gorgeous looking girl but she didn't look scared. She just looked hurt and not because she was assaulted too but I stared into her eyes and I could see the hurt if that makes sense. Anyways after a long drive the man joined us in the back of the van and that's when he..." The girl paused for a second and I bit my bottom lip hard trying to keep myself from breaking down. Jack could tell how tense I was becoming because he was now sitting up right next to me. He grabbed my hand and gave me an 'its going to be ok' look. And with that I focused my eyes back to the screen. "Um.. that's when he raped us. Once he was done he pulled out a knife. Me being dumb I thought he was going to untie us. As soon as he raised the knife at me I knew my life was over. I closed my eyes waiting for the knife to break skin but it never did. The girl I was with managed to untie herself and kick the knife out of his hand. She slid the van door open and yelled at me to run while holding him down for a short period of time. I got out and turned around to see him now on her punching her. I ran to get help but when we came back they were gone. She saved my life. But the truth is I haven't been able to live it. I wonder where she is everyday. I hope she is ok..." The girl finished her story and I was know in tears. Sammy shut the tv off and everyone just looked at me. They then looked at Jack for answers and he just nodded. That one simple nod said everything. Now the guys knew.

I was the other girl in the van.
