Chapter 4 - The Break Up

Chapter 4 - The Break Up

Piper's POV

I awoke from my beautiful slumber by my phone ringing. I reach over to my desk and look at the screen to see it's 11 o'clock and that the person calling is Polly. I slide my finger across the screen and move the device to my ear. "Piper?" my best friends voice rings through my ear with that tone I know oh so well. She wants something.

"What do you want Pol?" I ask in my sleep deprived voice. "Okay, so there's this party Pete has been invited to and he wants me to go with him. I'm not going to know anyone there apart from Pete who will probably abandon me to go off and drink with the "lads"... So you see, I need some company... Pleeeeeeeeeeease come Piper?" se begs. Pete is Polly's boyfriend. He's a sweet guy but likes his drink. I groan knowing Polly will not take no for an answer. "Fine." I mumble into the speaker still half asleep. She squeals and explains she'll be outside in 15 minutes.

I drag myself out of bed and look in my wardrobe. I'm not in the mood to take ages picking 'the perfect outfit'. I pull out my high waisted denim shorts, white crop top and black wedges with studs going down the back. I quickly get changed and sit in front of my mirror. I've never been one to wear loads of make up and make myself look like an orange but every now and then, it's okay. I apply some winged eyeliner, smoky eye shadow, mascara and some strawberry lip gloss. I hear a car horn beep outside signalling that Polly and Pete are waiting. I walk downstairs, making sure to grab my phone on the way. I climb into the car and we make our way there.

We arrive at the house in no time. We get out the car and immediately I'm abandoned by me "best friend" as Pete drags her off. She drags me to this dumb party for company and then leaves me. I wonder through the house and grab a double vodka and coke. I just as well enjoy myself if I'm going to be here alone for hours. After I finish my drink I grab another and make my way outside to the side of the house. I stand with my back to the entrance of the side of the house and pull out my phone. I pull up Alex's number and contemplate texting her. Just as I'm about to start typing the message I feel a tap on my shoulder. Thinking it was Polly, I turn around with a slightly annoyed look on my face. But it isn't Polly that I turn around to see. It's him. It's Larry.

He looks me up and down like a piece of meat with that sly smirk on his face. "Hey baby" he says before pressing his lips to mine. I push him away, feeling overcome by fear. "What are you doing?" I ask trying to sound so hard to sound strong but failing as my voice cracks. He laughs at my attempt to be strong and tells me "I am your boyfriend. I can kiss you whenever the fuck I want!". He says, raising his voice with anger with each word falling from his sour mouth. I think back to what Alex says earlier and feel a wave of confidence wash over me from nowhere. Without another thought, I speak the words I had been to scare to day until now. "I don't want to be with you anymore. I want to break up with you." I say quickly, losing the new-found confidence I had with each word. 

"You what?!" He shouts. I immediately flinch as he lunges at me. Slapping me across the face, kneeing me in the ribs and punching every area of my body. I whimper in pain. He takes down his trousers and starts pulling down my shorts and knickers. I scream for help as he pins me against the wall. "No one can hear you, bitch" he hisses in my ear. I scream louder as he starts running his hands all over my body. I swear I could hear Alex shout back but that can't be right, it had to be my mind playing tricks, after all, no one really cares. I'm useless.

I continue screaming hoping someone will save me whilst keeping my eyes squeezed shut. Just as he is about to penetrate me I feel someone yank him off me. I sink to the floor as I'm too weak to stand as I slowly open my eyes. "Alex?" I whisper in a barely audible voice whilst tears stream down my face. She kicks him in the ribs and punches him like he is her own personally punch bag. When she is done she slowly moves over to me. I just feel paralysed. Numb. I can't move or speak. All I do is stare at her. "Chelsea, go call a Taxi." She says to the girl standing next to her. She nods and walks off to, what I assume, call a cab.

Alex bends down so our eyes are directly opposite each other. She holds her hand out for me to take which I ever so slowly. As she stands up, she pulls me up with her. She bends down to my underwear and shorts making me flinch causing her to jump back. "It's okay Pipes, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to pull them up okay?" I give her a small nod as she does so. She stands in front of me and I collapse into her arms and start to sob. She picks me up bridle style and I hear that girl from earlier, Chelsea I think she was called. "Alex, the cabs here." I feel Alex nod to say okay.

She somehow manages to get into the taxi whilst carrying me. She gives the driver what I assume to be her address and he pulls away. "I'm taking you back to my home, okay Pipes?" I nod in agreement as I feel her place a soft kiss on my head. The next thing I know she is carrying me out the cab whilst I still sob and cling onto her like my life depended on it. She places me onto a bed. I hear her softly ask, "I can get you changed if you want?" I give a small nod as she changes me into an oversized top and leaving my underwear on.

She goes to walk out the room but I grab her hand. She turns around and looks at me "I'm going to go sleep downstairs Pipes, it's okay." I immediately violently shake my head no and begin to beg, "please don't leave me, please. Please lay with me. I can't be alone. Don't go. He'll get me. Please. Please Ale-" I break down and she sits on the bed next to me and pulls me into her arms. "Okay Pipes. Just let me get changed." She gets up and changed herself into an oversized top, similar to the one she dressed me in. She climbs into the bed next to me and pulls the duvet over to us. I curl up into her side and ask her to hold me. She obliges slightly hesitantly and wraps her arms around me whilst placing a soft kiss on my head.

I met this girl no more that twenty-four hours ago and she's already save me from him. She already knows my darkest secret. I already trust her. If you told me this morning that a raven haired beauty would become my knight in shining armour in less than twenty four hours of knowing her I'd of laughed in your face. But right now I couldn't be more grateful.

I rest my head on Alex's chest. I close my eyes and concentrate on nothing but the sound of Alex's heart beat as I fall to sleep in the only place that makes me feel remotely safe. Her arms.
