Healing Her: Kate Martin

Him

Kate's Pov: 

Everyone has been having a great time. We have been dancing, drinking, and laughing. The main few girls that are black out wasted are Gabbie, Jada, and Kylie. I was shocked at the amount of alcohol that Reese could handle. Reese is pretty drunk but she is still able to function for the most part. Reese gets super clingy when she is drunk but it's super cute in my opinion. But everything she does is cute to me. The four of them went dancing a while ago. I'm talking with the other girls about random things. I look up hearing Gabbie, Jada, and Kylie laughing their asses off about who knows what while walking back over to our table. I speak up saying "Where is Reese?" In a concerned tone. "I thought she was over here." Jada says back her being the least drunk of the three. I can hear Caitlin start grabbing her phone. "I'm going to go look for her, K you coming?" Cait says to me. "Let's go." Is all I say back before getting up and joining Caitlin .

Reese's Pov: 

The second I recognize that the hands on my waist are not Kate's I start attempting to escape from the persons hands. I feel the person only grip onto me tighter. "Help! Hel-." Is all I can get out before one of the hands moves off my waist and covers my mouth, harshly. "Shut up! Shut the fuck up Reese!" The second I hear the voice my whole body is covered in chills. No.. it can't be him. At this time we have made it outside and he pulls me towards a darker area more towards an alley. He shoves me against one of the brick walls behind me. I can feel my head bang against the wall, most likely giving me another concussion with the amount of force he uses. "Reese, kitten, haven't you missed me?" He says to me in a low, predictor like tone. Attempting to flirt with me which will never work.  

"Fuck. You." Are the words I choose probably not a very wise choice of words. He grabs my chin gripping with so much force I know there will be a bruise there later. "Now now kitten, that's not how to treat me, you treat me with respect and obedience." I shutter at how he speaks to me, reminding me of how he used to talk to me, direct me, order me. He caresses my face, "Oh how I have missed you, I need you." He grabs onto my hoodie attempting to pull it off of my body. "No! No! Get off me! Help, help me!" I began pleading while tears flood my eyes. His hands continue moving all over my body. I switch off my emotions, something I learned to do only a year ago because of him. I am staring off into the darkness of night accepting that this is going to happen, after all the attempts to escape both in my past and in the present. He will finally succeed after all this time. 

Kate's Pov: 

Caitlin and I are rushing all around the bar pushing past drunk people looking for Reese. Asking people if they have seen her anywhere, we ask people who are dancing, drinking, the bartenders, the security people, no one has seen her. But we hear one person behind us speak out. "I saw her!" "Where? Where did she go?" Caitlin asks in a panicked voice but also showing her attempt to hide her fear which she is failing at, miserably. "She was going out to the back alley, she was with someone. And it didn't look like she wanted to be with them." The second I hear those words "it didn't look like she wanted to be with them." All I see is red. The only thing that mattered was getting my girl safe no matter what. I run towards the back of the bar and rush through the doors. Caitlin is hot on my trail. When I look to my right I see it. I run over and yank the guy off of her. There is nothing I can do to stop what happens next. I just punch him over and over and over again. All I see is his face turning red with the blood of both my knuckles but mainly from him. His face is already bruising from the pure force of my punches. I can hear him begging me to stop. "Oh? You want me to stop? You want me to fucking stop? You didn't fucking stop when she wanted you too, you peace of shit!" I grab him by the collar pulling him off the ground. "If you ever, I mean ever, look at her, touch her, fucking breathe the same air as her I will not hesitate to kill you. And I fucking mean every fucking word I say." When I finish I slam his head against the concrete knocking him unconscious. 

Caitlin's Pov: 

When we run outside I see Kate rush toward the guy. She starts pummeling him. I rush over to Reese, pulling her into me. "Hey, hey Reese, honey it's okay, it's just me it's Lin." "Lin" a nickname that Reese used when she was young and couldn't pronounce Caitlin. It looks like we got there just in time. She only lost her hoodie but I can see the bruises starting to form on her neck and face. I slowly rock her back and forth trying to bring her back to me. "You're safe now, I've got you." While still holding her tightly I grab my phone and call 911. "911, what's your emergency?" "You need to get here quick before this guy is out for good." "Ma'am what do you mean?" "I mean that he's gonna get what he deserves." "What's your address?" "It's the Afterglow Lounge downtown Iowa City." After I say the address I hang up. I look over and see Kate say something to Jake then shove his head into the ground. She walks over and puts her arms around Reese pulling her into her arms, I just hold on to them both. "Thank you Katie and Lin." Is all that's heard from Reese before she passes out from most likely exhaustion. 

A/n: A very tough chapter. Please give me ideas for what to write next but I might be ending the story soon since I'm running out of ideas.
