A Real Love Story?

Chapter 3:

I ran inside and went up to my apartment. I could hear him behind me, and that just made me run faster. "Raven please wait" he yelled. I ran into my apartment and was about to shut the door, but unfortunately a foot was stopping me. "Jesus Christ Adam! Can't you take a hint and leave me alone?!" I screamed at him.

"Let me in Raven. Damnitt Raven just let me in before I break the damn door" he yelled. I sighed, "why". "Because Raven. Stop being absurd just let me in please" he said. I sighed and opened the door. I had a bathroom, and kitchen. "Nice place you've got here." He said quietly.

I chuckled, "don't even joke about it". We sat on my bed and just stared each other. I said, "what do you want Adam?" I asked. "To help you" he shrugged. "I don't need help Adam. I have always been on my own. And I definitely don't need help from a guy" I snapped.

"Just leave" I sighed. I pointed to the door. He sighed, "fine. Bye Raven. I'll see you tomorrow". I locked the door behind him. "You can come out now." I said. I turned around sitting on my bed was my perfect, beautiful cat Jelly. "Hey pretty girl!" I said.

I quickly sat down beside her and immediately petted her. She purred and heard away, so I grabbed my homework and started it. By the time I was finished, I had to leave for work.

I ran onto my bike and rode to the library. "Good afternoon Mrs. W" I said. Mrs. W was my boss, the owner of the library. I went to the back and began sorting. Was I was done, I picked up dinner at the diner in town. I quickly read my bike to the horse farm about 15 minutes away.

I started working. working. Is nearly 11 when I finished. I quickly road bike that. I knew I needed to get home. You do not want to be out alone at night in a bad part of town. I was about to turn on my street when someone jumped out in front of me.

"Shit!" I mumbled. I quickly swerved and stopped my bike. "I'm sorry I didn't see you" I said. The person walked towards me. "It's fine. I like it when I run into hot girls" he said. "Uh... I should get going. I've got to get home." I said and tried to get around him.

"Wait, do you have someone waiting for you at home or what?" He said. I shook my head. "Then do you wanna take somebody home?" He asked. I shook my head. "Come on babe, it could be fun with a pretty girl like you and a few friends of mine" he said walking closer to me.

"N-No I really need to go. Excuse me" I said. He reeked of alcohol. I backed away from him. "Oh you're not going anywhere little girl" he grabbed me by my waist. Two more boys came out and grab to be. I punched and kicked with all my force.

Finally I kickEd one in the face and punched another in the stomach. they dropped me on my back. "Bitch!" They screeched. "Oh boy. You're gonna regret that little girl!" One said. I quickly stood up and started to run. One of the guys, while the others started dragging me towards the Woods Trail.

They started stripping me down. I kicked and punched. Finally, I got a getaway chance. As much as it hurt, I ran with all my might. I heard them behind me and that made me run faster. I got to my apartment building and screamed for my friend Martin.

"Martin?!!! Martin! Please!! Come quick!!" I screamed. He came running out of the lobby. "What?" He asked frantic. "Don't let those guys in!" I yelled pointing to the men running towards the building.

They tried to come in but everything was locked up. I heard the knock on my door a few minutes later. "Hey babe it's me... Let me and beautiful." I heard Martin say. I got up and let him in. You know it's OK to cry sweetheart. He said and held my hand. I shake my head. We stood up and hugged.

"Listen girlie we are going to fix you up. Let's go out tonight. Oh and don't take this the wrong way but I think it's about time you found a different place. it's not safe for you here one day I'm not going to be here and then you won't have anyone to help get you out of trouble" he said.

I sighed, "I've lived here since I was 12... And I can't afford anywhere else" I said "come on my room now" he commanded I groaned as he dragged my down on the couch "why did you drag me to your" he cut me off. " shush no don't say anything Raven. and you're not allowed to talk" he commanded. he brought me to his room and told me to close my eyes.

I felt him stripping me down great another one of his masterpiece outfits. I open my eyes and saw the black-and-white one shoulder dress came down about 2 inches above my knee and fit in all the right places. It hugged my well-defined a curves perfectly. "You look beautiful Raven" he said quietly.

I was amazed at how I looked. "Come. Come" Martin quickly said. "first your make up and then hair" he said. I sat down at the little chair by his vanity in his bathroom. He put light night make up on me, then curl the ends of my pin straight hair.

My hair stopped at the bottom of my shoulder blades. I looked in the mirror and gasped when I saw the girl in the mirror. Surely this wasn't me. "Alright let's goober" he said. He grabbed a box and handed it to me

"Oh my God" I said when I opened it. A diamond necklace, matching bracelet and matching earrings. Martin and I left the apartment and got into the car. Martin has always been my friend. He's 26 my best friend. me being 17 everyone assumed... I don't know what. I assumed we were going to the club, but I was very surprised when we pulled up to my school.

"Martin.... What are we doing here?" I asked. He smiled at me and held out to tickets. Two prom tickets. Hell no.
