How it ended

Chapter 23

Taylor's POV-
Tears welled up in my eyes. I am so gonna die today. This feels like back in Indiana all over again. I let out another scream and the door immediately opened revealing the group. I stood there frozen, my heart beating faster than light itself. Im being dramatic but this is scary. I don't want it to happen

They all started laughing and the two rapist remove a wig and contact lenses. They rip off their eyebrows and start laughing. They look at me and I realize its Chad and Will. I looked at the group to see all of them laughing their heads off. I glared and started walking inside.

I angrily wipe away my tears and pushed past them. I ran upstairs and changed. I locked my door and laid in bed. I stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.

There was a sudden knock on my door and I looked at it. I got up and whispered," who is it?"

"It's Annaliah," she whispers back. She was the only one who wasn't there. I slowly opened the door and she slid inside my room. I closed my door swiftly and locked it. She sat on my bed and patted the spot next to her. I sighed and sat down.

"What's wrong?" she asks, stroking my hair. I laid my head on her shoulder and sighed again. I closed my head and shook my head against her shoulder.

"They scared the hell out of me and humiliated me. It felt like that day all over again. The day I have forgotten since then. Now I feel scarred. I don't think I can ever forget now," I say sobbing. She whispered soothing words and rubbed my back. I cried onto her shoulder. "Let's get you to sleep," she says.

I nod and lift my head off her shoulder. I wiped my tears. Laying down and throwing the duvet over me, I smiled at Annaliah.

"Thank you Anna. Your gonna be a great mother," I yawn, before falling into a dark ablyss.

Annaliah's POV-
I smiled and kissed Taylor's forehead softly. I opened the door quietly and slowly, glancing at Taylor every time the door creaked. I stepped out and closed the door. I turned around to find Tony with a guilty look.

I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow. "What gave you the idea to scare the hell out of Taylor before you leave?" I asked, a hint disappointment in my voice.

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I thought I'd scare everyone before I leave, but I didn't think Taylor would get this scared. She usually defends herself," he sighs. I shook my head.

"When you were gone somewhere 2 years back, I went to Indiana. I went and visited for an entire week over at Indiana with Sapphire and Taylor. Pamela wasn't there. Remember she was still in college. Okay, so one day, late at night, everyone was asleep. Everyone except me because Taylor hasn't come home yet. She was suffering from the lost of her best friend. So around maybe 12 at night, she came home tears in her eyes, blood on her hands and cheeks. Her hair looked messed up and her clothes were slightly torn. She looked broken, vulnerable. She saw me and cried on my shoulder. I tried to calm her down, but her tears and sobs wouldn't stop. So then she told me. She was raped. At 15 years old.

"No 15 year old should go through that. It was her worst fear. She was scared. Terrified. Who knows how long she will have a grudge on you or the rest," I nearly shout. I remembered we were outside Taylor's door so I grabbed his arm and walked towards the stairs.

The group was there looking guilty and disappointed at themselves. "I assume you guys heard?" I ask. They nod slowly. Sapphire has tears in her eyes. "Why didn't she tell me?" her voice breaking in the end.

"She was scared. She didn't want to tell anyone and I forced it out of her," I say a bit sheepishly. Sapphire started crying. "This is all my fault. It was my idea," Lucas and Tony croak out. I slap the back of their heads. They groan in pain.
