Through Thick and Thin

Chapter 29

Nancy Pov

I walked in the house ignoring Nate. I'm not sure if I should tell him his fucking best friend just raped me in his mothers house. That story sounds like complete bull shit.

I went in the kitchen and got a glass of water. I heard Nate's heavy footsteps come toward the kitchen , I'm not in the mood to do this shit.

" Nancy where the hell were you. "

" Mama Joyce's house.. " I said drinking my water.

" Why weren't you answering my fucking calls. "

" My phone was on silent Nate. " I said trying to hold back my tears. My voice was cracking and he knew I was gonna break.

I put my water down on the cabinet and put my head down.

" Nancy look at me. "

I ignored him and kept my head down , if I lift my head up he'll definitely see the bruises.

" Nancy Look At Me. " he said louder.

I still ignored him , before I knew it he grabbed my chin and lifted my head up high to see my neck.

" What the fuck happened to you. " he said more angry than sympathetic.

I ignored him , I'm tired of him feeling sorry for me.

" Nancy what the FUCK HAPPENED TO YOUR DAMN NECK. " He yelled at me.

I let a tear escape my cheek , and walked away to the bathroom.

" Nancy Open the door. " he said jiggling the knob.

" Nate just stop. " I cried.

I heard his phone ring and he hurried and answered it.

" Hey mama. " he said trying to act calm.

" Hey I'm making dinner and y'all need to come on by. "

" Will do Mama. " he hung up the phone and walked to his room. I heard him go through something then he came back.

" Put these on. We're going to dinner at mama's. "

I opened the door and took the clothes. I ran the shower and got undressed. I waited for the mirror to fog before I got in.

I showered my body and just sank to the bottom of the shower. I wrapped my arms around my knees in a ball and cried.

I tried to be quiet as I cried. I heard him knock on the door.

" Nancy , are you done ? "

I got out the shower and wrapped with a towel. My bruise was swollen and purple. I grabbed my clothes and went into his room.

I put on my underwear and the outfit he picked out. A plain white polo and light blue Hollister pants with my white vans. I put my hair in a sloppy bun and grabbed my phone. I'm not staying too long , and I plan on staying quiet the whole night.

We got in the car and it was an awkward silence. We were about 2 minutes away from pulling up and I had to think fast ,

" Do we really have to go.. " I said on the verge of tears.

" Nancy , my mom invited us to dinner. Of course we have to go. "

I yanked my head to the window and put my head on it. We finally pulled up and my throat was swollen inside and out. This is gonna be a long night. I felt my hands getting cold , and my knees getting weak as we walked in.

I saw all the guys from earlier and they snickered as I walked by. Nate gave me a look of confusion and I shook it off. I'm not talking to anyone but Mama.
