Saving Her

Part 5

J u s t i n ' s  P o v

I was still awake on a late school night, since I just couldn't seem to sleep because there's a fucking storm outside. I need my rest for school tomorrow and this definitely isn't helping. I also couldn't wait to see Ariana at school. Gosh, she's a little innocent cutie and I still couldn't seem to get why they pick on her.

She's so sweet, and nice, and beautiful, and cute, an-- as I was thinking about Ariana, I heard a couple of faint knocks at the front door interrupt my thoughts about her.

I wonder who that could be on a school night and especially since it's about to turn 1 in the morning. I'm assuming my mother is in a deep sleep since I didn't hear her open the door. I might as well get it then.

"Coming!" I whisper shout to the unknown person as I make my way to the door. Wait, it might be someone dangerous, so I quickly take the umbrella next to the door in both my hands and look through the peephole. Ariana? What could she possibly be doing here at this time?

And how did she get here if there's a big thunderstorm outside? which is dangerous. I put the umbrella back down as I open up the door. I stare down at her and see that she's soaking wet and that her top is ripped.

"Hello, Justin." Ariana quietly says to me.

"Ariana, what happe--" I quickly cut myself off as I realize she's standing there trembling and all soaked. I gently pull her into my house so she doesn't have to be out there anymore. "Here, come with me." I tell her as I lead her to my room. I sit her down on my bed and wrap my blankets all over her. I don't care if they get wet, as long as it makes her a little warm.

She was still trembling like crazy. I wanted to ask her so much questions right now, but what matters first is her well being only.

I turn to where all my clothes are, which is in my closet. I get out one of my long white shirts and boxers. I make my way back to her and help her stand up since she clearly looked like she was in a lot of pain doing so. This time, I lead her to my shower.

"Your gonna take a shower okay?" After I said that to her she nodded. I would never want her to get hypothermia, and who knows how long she's been out there."Um, here, let me get you started." I say. I turn to the shower, and turn the knob to very warm but not to where it would burn her delicate skin. I look back at her and begin to take my blanket covers off of her that was wrapped around her small frame. Ariana's trembling gets worse after I did so.

I curiously observe her ripped shirt that once was perfectly buttoned up. What could of ripped it like that? She starts covering herself up with wrapping her arms around her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare." I tell her. "It's okay." She quietly says to me. She wasn't this quiet around me. I mean sure, she was, but not this much. "Okay, call me if you need me." I said as I begin to take my blankets out of my bathroom. I look back at her as she nods.

A r i a n a ' s  P o v

Justin is so sweet. He didn't even hesitate to bring me into his house with questioning me, which I'm grateful for. I definitely don't deserve him.

I painfully strip off my clothes as the shower is running. I would of loved for him to help me with my clothes, but I would never want him to see me naked since I have insecurities and more bruises. I make my way into the shower once again. I felt really dirty after what my dad tried doing to me, that I don't even think a shower would "clean" me.

I shed a few tears while I'm in here, and think to myself that nobody would ever love me because I'm just a piece of trash that will always be filthy and dirty. I mean, who would really love me after they found out what has been happening in my life? I always get abused by my father, and he just tried to rape me. Piece of trash alright.
