The guy continued to thrust into me, as I was menatlly and physically being torn apart. "Don't cry, doll. I know you love it," he smirked. This caused me to sob harder, if that was even possible. He ran his hands all over my body as he destroyed me, right there on the sidewalk, only a few miles away from my house.
"Hey!" Someone hollered. It sounded like Harry, but somehow that didn't make me feel better.
"Hey man, want a turn-" he was cut off by someone pulling him off me. Harry threw him on the ground with his hands gripped tightly around his neck. The guy choked and tried prying Harry's hands off, but Harry was determined to kill him. The weight was taken off my arms and legs and the other guys took off running. I didn't have the energy to do anything. All I could do was pull the gag out of my mouth.
"Harry, Harry d-don't kill him," I whispered, my voice hoarse from trying to scream. Harry seemed to realize what he was doing, just as the guys face was turning different shades of purple and red. Harry whispered something in the guys ear and released his death grip on him. The guy choked for air and scurried away. Harry hurried over to me, taking me in his arms. He helped pull my pants back over my legs and picked me up bridal style. I felt as if my arms and legs weighed a ton. He sat me in the car seat and I slumped into it.
"I'm so sorry Juno, I just went to get the car so I could drive you home. I should've never left you alone. I'm so so sorry. I know that sorry won't make up for it but please believe me-"
"It's not your fault. Don't beat yourself up about it," I whispered. I was so tired I don't even know if thats what I said. It could've came out as aidfjanivaoejfansdvnapddjf for all I know.
"I swear if I ever see those guys again I will rip them apart piece by piece," Harry growled through clenched teeth. His grip tightened on the steering wheel, knuckles turning pale white. Harry kept either apologizing to me or threatening to rip those guys throat out the whole way home. I blocked him out, just focusing on keeping my eyes open.
We pulled up to my house and I wouldn't let him help me to the door, despite his pleading and demanding. I opened the door and saw my mom sitting on the couch watching the news. I slowly made my way over there with wobbly legs. She looked at me with worried eyes, and in that moment I completely broke. I curled up next to her, sobbing into her shoulder. She rubbed my back while saying soothing things. Exhaustion came over me, and I fell asleep after crying endlessly.
-----
I sat on the edge of my window, staring out at the quiet forest outside my house. I hadn't told my mom, or anyone for that matter, what happened, but she didn't question me when I said I wasn't going to school. I felt like that guy to a huge chunk of me, a chunk I'd never get back.
"Here, honey. A young lad dropped these off for you," my mom came in with a boquet of roses. "Handsome lad. He told me to tell you he's really sorry and that he took care of it." I furrowed my eyebrows together. "I don't know what that means, but I'm just going to assume you do." Yeah, I'm pretty sure that meant Harry beat the shit out of some people. She set the roses on my bed and came to sit next to me. "Please tell me what happened, baby girl. Did someone hurt you? Was it that guy that came over?" she looked at me with pleading and desperate eyes.
Tears filled my eyes as images of last nights events flooded my mind. I relived them again and again all night, the images never leaving no matter what I did. I blinked the tears away. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll be fine." And I would. At least I hoped I would.
-Harry's POV-
"Can't we just kill them now?" Damon asked me. He didn't see what I saw. He didn't see Juno being torn apart by these guys, who are now bleeding and groaning at my feet. Anger never ceased to surge through me, as I was determined to make these guys the most miserable people on the planet.
"I'm going to break them, just like they broke her," I growled before slamming the guys head down again on the concrete floor. Damon sighed and began helping me beat the shit out of these guys again. After countless punching and kicking I finally pulled back. I tried to steady my breathing as I pulled the six guys into the corner of the abandoned warehouse. All of them were either unconcious or just to weak to move. If Damon had it his way these guys would be dead, because that's just how he is, but I'd rather them live long lives, spending each second regretting what they did to Juno.
Me and Damon exchanged nods as we went our seperate ways, him going to his car, me going to mine. I remember when we couldn't even afford cars or food for that matter, but now I'm driving around in an Audi. I used a spare napkin to wipe the blood of my knuckles and clothes, before starting up my car. I drove to the nearest grocery store and picked out the nicest boquet of flowers they had. I don't know which flowers Juno likes, so I just picked roses. Can't go wrong with roses right?
Guilt and regret have been racking my brain this whole time. I should've never left her alone. I should've just walked her home, but instead I wanted to show off my car to impress her. Well I'm sure she's not impressed now. "I'm such an idiot!" I screamed and slammed my fists down on the steering wheel. I calmed myself down as I approached Juno's house. I jogged up to the door and hit my knuckles on it a couple times. A lady who looked to me in her mid forties, with the same soft brown hair and dark blue eyes answered the door.
I cleared my throat and looked her innocently. "Is Juno home?" Although I already knew Juno was home, she's not anywhere else.
"Yes, she's upstairs. Are these for her?" she looked at the roses and I nodded handing them over to her.
"Can you please just tell her I'm deeply sorry and that I took care of everything?" I asked, hoping Juno would catch one when she heard the message.
"Of course. Can I do anything else for you?"
"No, thats all. Thank you, ma'am." she nodded and slowly closed the door. I got in the Audi and parked it a few feet down, then going back on foot to Juno's house. She didn't live in suburbia or anything, so her house was surrounded by dense woods, away from the city. I easily climbed on of the trees by a window, which I'm hoping was hers. I didn't mean to seem like a creeper, I just wanted to see her face. Maybe that did sound a little creepy.
I saw her sitting by her window, looking out. I quickly ducked behind a branch so she wouldn't spot me. Her mom soon came in with the roses in her hand, and adverted Juno's attention to her. I used that as an oppritunity to climb onto the balcony by the window. I sat down right next to the window, out of sight. I strained to hear her through the wall between us.
"Did someone hurt you? Was it that guy that came over?" Her mom asked.
"Don't worry Mom. I'll be fine," she said, but I could hear the brokeness in her voice. I wish I could reverse time. Just go back and fix everything. I would've never left. I would've just put her in my car right away and drove her home. Then I'd spend the next day at school trying to get her to smile, instead of beating the guys that put a permenent frown on her face. I heard footsteps and a door slide shut. I swooped around and kneeled in front of the window. Juno gasped and jumped off the window.
"It's just me," I mouthed to her through the glass. She hesitantly came over and unlocked the window. I slid through and walked towards her as she backed up towards the wall. "I'm not going to hurt you, Juno." She looked at me teary eyed before she wrapped her arms around me tightly. I was shocked at first, but wrapped my arms around her too and rubbed her back.
"The nightmares won't stop. Every time I closed my eyes I see them all p-pinning me down a-and-" she sobbed out.
"Shhh, shhh. It's all okay now. They won't hurt you ever again. I won't let anyone hurt you ever, okay?" I tilted her head up to meet my eyes so she knows I'm serious. She nodded and buried my head in my chest. I brought her over to her bed and laid down next to her. She snuggled deeper into my chest and closed her eyes lightly.
I was just barely drifting to sleep, when I heard Juno mumbling. I looked down at her and her eyes were squeezed tightly as she squirmed around. "No! No, please!" she cried out and sobbed harder. I began rubbing her back and trying to wake her up. "Harry! Help me!" I stopped for a moment, shocked that she cried out for me.
"I'm here Juno. They're not going to hurt you. I'm here, you're okay," I whispered. She relaxed and stopped crying.
"Harry," she whispered one last time before fully relaxing again.
