Perfection Doesn't Exist (Under Editing)

Chapter 6

After Travis left, we headed to Brooke's house. I was still a bit shaky from when my outburst happened. I never wanted them to worry about this, about me. They always worry about me and I feel like they would get annoyed of it by now.

I was pacing the living room and thinking of what Travis would do to Andre. God, I hope he doesn't kill him. Then he wouldn't be able to live with the thought of a death he caused.

Everyone was still silent and that wasn't helping at all.

"God, why did I burst! If I was perfectly okay and stayed calm, Travis wouldn't be out there doing who-knows-what to Andre. I'm so stupid!" I argued, mainly to myself.

"Stop okay? If I hadn't yelled at you everything would be fine. But to keep you being raped, not to mention, AGAIN, a secret? No, that's not fine. Lena, you can't keep things like that to yourself. It's not healthy. When were you even planning to tell us?" Kiki leaned in closer to hear my response.

"Um....." I trailed off. "Later. I mean I was going to tell you only about the move from the start but then we went to the party, that happened and I didn't want two bad news dropped on you guys the same day but... I guess that already happened."

I looked away when the thought of the night it happened came creeping back. I was so weak, so vulnerable. Not to mention, it was the second time it happened to me.

I want to be able to stand up for myself. I don't want to seem weak. If that ever happens again, how will I protect myself? I'm certainly not that strong. I just don't want to keep depending on people because one day, they won't even be there.

"Seriously Lena?" Leah butted in. "We should of known the moment it happened! From the looks of last time, you couldn't last a minute with that memory haunting you day and night. What made you think this was anything different? You shouldn't be scared to tell us anything. We're here for you 24/7"

I started to cry again. I was losing count of how many times I've cried this week. Leah came over and hugged me and soon everyone else joined.

Tom pulled away and his face of sorrow soon turned to anger.

"I'm going to find Travis and kill that bitch Andre with him. He deserves what's coming to him Lena." Tom pulled me into a hug again. "This is for you."

And with that he left. I didn't know what to think. They are literally thinking of killing him. Because of me. Yes, I hate Andre for what he did, but that doesn't mean he should die. I have to stop this.

I grabbed Kiki's car keys and ran to the car. The first place I went to check was Andre's house. His parents were there but he wasn't. I asked them where he went and they told me he left with Travis to Sunset park to check out this skateboard deal.

I knew that wasn't the reason why. I thanked them but before I left they asked if everything was okay. I didn't know what to say so I left. I should of told them, but that would make an even bigger mess.

As soon as I reached the park, I immediately saw two figures kicking the ground. But it wasn't the ground. It was Andre.

I dashed out of the car and tried to pull back Tom, then Travis. It wasn't working so I yelled at them.

"STOP IT!! STOP YOU'LL KILL HIM!"

"He deserves this Lena!" Travis yelled.

"I agree but not by killing him! You should of called the cops! Don't kill him!! You'll regret it! Please!"

I was on the verge of crying. They weren't listening. I got infront of Travis trying to calm him down.

"Travis....please." A single tear dropped from my eye.

After a few deep breaths, he was finally calm. He took my hand and intertwined them with his. He faced Andre once more.

"If you EVER lay a finger on her again, I promise you, you won't live to see another day."

Tom kicked him one last time before going to the car. We followed Tom to the car leaving Andre coughing up blood and almost bleeding to death. He could seriously die out here. And his death would be on Travis.

I turned to face Travis sitting in the drivers seat to tell him not to leave Andre here dying but the police sirens caught my eyes as they speed past us to the park.

"You never intended to kill him did you?" I asked half smiling.

"Of course not. Well, maybe but you told me not to so I listened." he said turning to face me.

"Eyes on the road and thank you."

"Anything for you. Always."

I forgot how much I loved Travis for his protective and caring side. I wish we could fix things and become a couple again. But of course I have to move to fucking L.A. I wish I thought it more thoroughly. But this move could actually help with a fresh start. It's what I really need.
