Doing Dirt {edited+completed}

Chapter 7

= Harry's P.O.V. =

I pause for a second and stare into Evelyn's amazing hazel eyes. They resemble fear and worry. It looks like she's running scenarios of what might have happened to Sarah through her head, most of them horrific. I know that she wants to find out what happened to my sister, she's anxious. By Evelyn's responses so far, she sounds like she really cares for Sarah. Knowing her she does. Even though Evelyn doesn't know Sarah, never seen her, only heard of her for the second time today, she cares.

I clear my throat softly and get on with it, "Sarah skimmed her fingertips over her singlet where she was hurt. She massaged it for a while, easing the pain a little bit. She lifted up the material covering the damage and placed the hot water bottle on it. I grabbed two Panadols out of the kitchen and poured her a glass of water."

Evelyn's body leans closer, listening carefully. "She gulped down the tablets with the cold water and sighed in slight relief. I gently wiped off the tears and mascara lines from her pretty face with a tissue and asked the daunting question for the second time. At first she kept saying that everything was alright and there was no need to worry, that she was going to be ok. It was apparent that she wasn't, she came home balling her eyes out and clenching her stomach for crying out loud!" My voice was beginning to get deeper and colder. Evelyn notices that and speaks softly, reassuring me that it was the past. It's gone. I can't change it and I can't go back.

I resume where I left off, this time my voice a bit mellow, "Once she got passed the denial stage, she hesitated to answer my question. The Panadols kicked in so she let go of her stomach. I took the water bottle away from her bare skin to have a look at the damage, kneeling down on the dirty crème carpet." "Was it serious?" I hear Evelyn's voice whisper as a warm tear escapes from her eye. My hand reaches across the table and my fingertips graze over her face and wipe away the tear.

I cup her face in my soft hand and give her a warm smile. My hand retracts to its place on my lap. "I rolled up the blue material to find a massive bruise. I stared worryingly into her deep green eyes that were filled with tears. I took Sarah's shaking hands in mine. She managed to blurt out the words 'he did it to me' in a trembling tone." Evelyn's eyes fire up by those words, "That asshole." she snaps. I chuckle slightly and dimples appear on my face. They go away as I remember what I'm talking about.

"I kept my cool and didn't lose it, keeping my anger suppressed. My body shifted up from the carpet and on to the springy brown lounge next to my injured sister. She just stared at me, two pairs of green eyes looking at each other. She wanted to tell me but I read danger and fear in her eyes. Sarah somehow managed to stay strong to tell me what happened. Her voice still trembling she began to tell me what had happened that night."

"What did that fucking asshole do to her?" Evelyn sharply cusses. I breathe in heavily, "Sarah squeezed my hand really tightly and begun to recount her traumatizing night. I gasped in horror when she told me what happened. Sarah buried her wet face in my chest and I comforted her. All that was going through my head at the time was 'I'm gonna kill him.'"

"What happened to poor Sarah? I bet I'd want to kill him too!" Evelyn softly speaks trying to lighten up the mood by her last sentence. "What happened to my big sister was," my voice hushing and preparing Evelyn for the worst, "She got bashed by her 'loving and caring boyfriend, ex-boyfriend, whatever' who left her all bruised, beaten and helpless by the curb."

Evelyn mouths the words 'I do want to kill him' and clenches her fist tightly. "How did she get to that stage? What happened? What provoked his anger and violent actions?" Evelyn asks me in a hummed tone. I look into her deep ocean blue eyes. "What exactly happened that night was that Rowan invited Sarah to his place to watch a couple of movies. Usually with dad around she wasn't allowed to go to his place for various reasons."

"I bet." Evelyn said angrily through gritted teeth. Her hair shifts from one shoulder to the other as she sways her head from side to side. "Because dad wasn't at home, probably out drinking the pain away, Sarah went even though I warned her not to. She went over to Rowan's by foot; he only lived four streets away, approximately fifteen minutes.

Sarah arrived at his front door and he welcomed her in. Rowan told her that his parents were out for the week at a function in a different state."

"They had the whole house to themselves?" Evelyn points out in a questioning tone. "Yes." I reply with a sigh. "No. No! She didn't-" I cut off her harshly by clearing my throat, "Fine. I won't butt in and I'll listen." Her voice filled with a speck of laughter. I tag along with the act and let out a slight chuckle.

"They watched a movie and the popcorn crunched in their mouths. Things got heated when Rowan slid his hands up Sarah's thighs and she responded with a kiss. Soon, they didn't care about the movie and just sat on the lounge making out. His hands skimmed up her waist prompting her to take of her singlet. Sarah's hands took Rowan's off her waist and placed them on the couch. She did it slyly and subtly like it was all part of the plan."

"Plan?" Evelyn interrupts with clear confusion in her words. I didn't bother to shush her this time and just start to explain. "That asshole was pressuring her to have sex with him, but Sarah was pure and didn't want to. She wanted to wait until she was at least 18 and with someone who she fully truly loved."

"Ohh I see. Wise girl in that situation." Evelyn harshly emphasizes on 'that'. I know what she means, in that situation. "No." I faintly speak. Evelyn doesn't respond to my words. Probably scared of what else I have to say about Sarah and her situation. She knows how Sarah ended up so I think she's taken her previous words back.

"They kept kissing and Rowan kept trying to take of my sisters clothing. She had to roll down her top several times and slide up her shorts. He had enough of her behaviour and took control." A couple of tears run down Evelyn's face. I can't help but slightly re live the pain that I first experienced. I let out a tear of my own and we both sigh. I sniffle my nose and wipe away the tear off my face.

"He pinned her down on the lounge, holding her wrists tightly in his hands. She tried to break free but his body climbed over her own and didn't allow her to go free. She helplessly lay there trying the yell for help but her tearful cries were muffled by Rowan sticking his tongue down Sarah's throat."

Evelyn tuts and rolls her eyes in disgust. "That animal!" She snarls. I can't help but agree with her so I let her know but nodding my head up and down gently with a serious face.

"She figured it was no use to waste her strength battling him while she was pinned down, so she played along with it. She let Rowan take off her top but not her bra, still in mild control. She whispered in his ear, asking for permission to feel his sexy body and abs. Of course, Sarah was lying greatly when she told Rowan she wanted him. He didn't know that. So he said to take things upstairs. Sarah kept playing along and Rowan took her hand and helped her off the couch."

I pause. Silence fills the air for a couple of seconds. I don't want to say what happened next. I don't think Evelyn is prepared to hear what the 'animal' did to my sister. My girlfriend cried at the events that took place before, I don't think she can handle all the gory detail. She wants to know, I have to tell her.
