Forbidden Love.

Chapter 7 - Help?

Recap: 

"Aria"

"Hi ms.fintry "

I was still so shy and coy about  talking to Elena's mother , it was so hard to face this woman knowing that my mother had broken up her marriage and now i was living with her.

"come here dear , how have you been" she held out her hands welcoming me into her warm embrace 

"i've been hanging in there i guess"

"that's good darling , just keep being strong , I'm going to run some errands but i'll be back to start dinner"

"ok bye" i gave her a weak smile , i was so glad she didn't resent me , but seeing her like this made me miss my mother , the one before all this. I was taking a trip way down memory lane when i felt someones presence behind me

"So we gonna talk about that kiss or what shortcake" 

oh no.

Chapter 7 - Help?




" I ...I ...It was"

"you're babbling shortcake" he said with his infamous smirk , oh how i hated that smirk.

"i just got caught up in the moment get over yourself Elliot" he saw me as weak , i couldn't be weak not with him , i would hit him with every witty come back i had.

"so what if there was another moment love" he stared to step towards me.

Wait why was he coming closer.

"wh..what are you doing Elliot"

"Just walking"

he knew what he was doing to me , and he just kept smirking until he backed me up into the wall under the staircase.

"Hello shortcake" his hot minty breath lingered in front of me , it was like his eyes were piercing deep into my soul and then they got dark.

"That kiss never happened and it will never happen again , i will never be what you want me to be so stop trying" i had never heard his voice so cold , he sounded so much darker than he did when he talked to Hannah , his tone was cool and clipped it even scared me a little bit. He started to walk away from me but i grabbed his hand , my hands were so small compared to his and i hadn't noticed how pale his skin was compared to mine i pulled him back in and stared deep into his eyes , this close his scent was surrounding me , my heart was drumming hard. Oh God. I close my eyes and gulped.

"Wh..Why" barely coming out as a hoarse whisper.

He leaned over in my ear and said "I'm no good" His deep voice rumbled its way to my chest. fuck.


I gulped again "neither am i"

"Ari ... you are and you're too good for me" that's when i saw it , the emotion behind his eyes but he quickly put the walls as those eyes filled with emotion were now filled with nothing , just blank , not one emotion was visible.

"We are , nothing and we will now and always be , nothing , you mean nothing" he pulled his hand from my grip and left the house.

I hit my head against the hard concrete of the wall letting in as much air as my lungs could take it felt like i was going to have a panic attack , i sunk to the floor replaying everything from the kiss to the big rejection i had just gotten. I never felt so hurt , and worthless well of course i had but i hadn't felt like that since i was with my mother and that was weeks ago. One crystal tear fought its way through as i refused to cry but i felt used in some way , he made me tell him everything in my life everything that hurt me just so that he could tell me that i was nothing. how could he do that.

'how the fuck could he do that'

"How could he do what" Elena stood in the doorway looking as confused as ever.

"Nothing , were going out , go get ready"

That's the last time i would ever let anyone near enough to hurt me.

I took a shower and decided i was gonna dress up , a night at the club with my best friend should get my mind off this rejection. I wasn't gonna break down and cry like a normal girl i was just gonna build my walls back up ten times higher.

"UGGHHHH!" I huffed in frustration

I decided to straighten my hair but i could not get this curly mane to cooperate , i was wearing a short black lace dress from forever 21, i put on black eyeliner , some mascara , some smoky eye shadow , some blush and red lipstick , and Elena red heels , i did look good , Elliot didn't know what he was giving up.

"Ready" Elena looked hot in her red dress

"As ready as i'll ever be"

I can hear the music blaring as I stand in line. It's freezing outside, but I am close to the front of the line. I wrap my arms around myself and move forward. I have no problem getting inside with my fake I.D and once I'm in; my eyes have to adjust to the darkness.

There are multicolored flashing lights on the dance floor, but they are not bright enough to reach beyond that. It's very crowded tonight. As I make my way to the bar, dancing sweaty bodies press and rub up against me. I don't mind though, it's the fastest way across the room.I feel their eyes on me as I pass. After I down a drink or two, I grab a few complimentary glow stick jewelry and head for the dance floor.

This club doesn't check I.D's very well and I can usually get away with drinking. In a matter of minutes, I am sweating, but it feels so good. Like I am releasing the days stress. My body moves to the rhythm of the music.

The more i dance the more i get thirsty so i just start downing shots like there's no tomorrow , the room starts spinning and i feel like I'm getting some type of exhilarating rush and high from everything around me. I look over and see Elena at the bar talking to some hot guy so , she looks over and smiles at me and then I feel a pair of hands grip my waist and i start grinding against the strong torso , i don't even know who it is but it feels good , were grinding in sync but the more we dance the more we're moving then i think



aria what the hell are you doing , you really are no different from your mother are you?



Just as i'm to pull away to go and find Elena I'm hoisted into the air over his strong shoulders that's when i snap back to my senses and start calling for Elena but she's no where in sight. I'm pulled outside into the parking lot I'm kicking and screaming for help now but its useless , he put me down and sends me crashing to the floor with one slap across the face that shakes my whole existence.

"shut up and don't make this any hard than it has to be" he covered my hands so my screams were muffled tears were streaming down my face hard and fast 

i saw him rip the bottom of my dress and start to unbuckle his pants he placed wet sloppy kisses all over my neck going to the top of my breasts. this was it i had finally done it now , i was going to get raped in a club parking lot with no one to even help me. i vaguely registered where we were , to the back of the parking lot behind a garage bin.  he took his hands off my mouth long enough for me to plead for him to get of me.

"please just let me go" i managed to get out between sobs

"You weren't crying when you were ... " He was ripped of me and i could see someone standing over him hitting him repeatedly i think i even heard a bone crack 

i saw a girl go to pull him off my attacker , the girl gave up and rushed to my side i got a good look at her face 

"Elena"

"its ok don't talk we're gonna get you home ok"

"we" 

"I'm beginning to think that you take me as your personal security guard shortcake" says an annoyed looking Elliot i didn't even get the chance to respond when he lifted me up bridal style and started walking to the car. 

Our eyes met and his hard expression softened 

"its ok shortcake , i have you now , you're ok"


I must have fallen asleep because next thing i know i being carried to my room and placed on my bed , my head was pounding from all the alcohol and being thrown down on the ground and being slapped that i couldnt even let myself open my eyes.

From the arms putting me to sleep i knew that it was Elliot and not Elena and he must have thought i was sleeping when he whispered

"I don't want it to be like this , but it has too its just too dangerous for you" then he placed a lingering kiss on my forehead and left. 

It wasn't long before i was asleep.
