Once I'm out of my shower I get dressed and walk out to see Reece already dressed.
"Not gonna shower?"
"No..I'll be fine."
"Ok..are you alright?"
I walk over to her and pull her in my arms, comforting her. I kiss her forehead as she cries silently.
"I'm scared Kirt...what if he takes me to a bathroom again...? What if he hurts you again?"
"I won't let him hurt you Reece. I can protect myself. I'll walk you to every class. Don't worry Reece please."
She calms down a bit, wiping her puffy eyes and sniffling.
"Go clean your face and then I'll walk you to class alright?"
She nods and heads in the bathroom. I sit down on the bed, collecting up ideas and things in my mind as I hear her turn on the water. Why did it have to happen to us? We did nothing wrong..
-time skip-
First class with Diesel first thing in the morning. This'll be fun. He sits right in front of us. I hold Reece's hand and lead her to her seat and sit down next to her. Not long after Diesel comes in. Asshole..
"Hey guys how's it going?"
He says with a smirk and turns to look at us. Reece puts her head down on the table and I glare at him then look at the teacher.
"Oh come on guys. Gonna give me the silent treatment now are you?"
Diesel and Grim laugh. Reece jumps up, her chair falling back, making a loud sound and causing everyone to turn our way including the teacher.
"Why can't you leave us alone Diesel?!"
Tears stream down her face.
"We didn't do anything to you! We don't deserve this!! I can't take it anymore!"
She runs out of the class room crying and silence fills the room. I turn to Diesel and point at him.
"You're gonna pay for this.."
I get up and chase after Reece down the hallway, now making the teacher follows us. She didn't get far. Just down the hallway. I pull her into a hug and rub her back as the teacher comes over to us.
"Reece shh..please don't cry it's ok...it's ok.."
"Both of you to the office now!"
I nod and walk with Reece to the office, sitting in a chair and pull her into my lap and she cries.
"Reece please calm down..it'll be ok.."
"No I can't take it anymore Kirt..I just cant.."
The principal walks out and sees her in my lap, then motions for us to come in. I help Reece stand and we walk into the office, sitting in front of the principal. She looks at Reece then me. Reece is still crying.
"Kirt your side of this story. Now."
Her gaze is stern and demanding.
"Diesel..isnt..as good a kid as he seems..He has..raped..me and Reece."
Her eyes widen at the mention of it.
"What's your proof Mr. Jackson?"
I set Reece down and pull off my shirt, revealing all the bites, hickies and claw marks. She gasps and gets up, nodding and leaving the room. I quickly put my shirt back on. After a while we hear over the intercom:
"Will Samson please come to the front office. Will Samson to the front office please."
Reece jumps at the sound of the intercom then starts crying more, knowing it won't turn out good. The principal, Mrs. Joseph comes back in and sits down, her hands on her desk.
"Now miss Reece I know you're having a bit of..trouble currently and in your situation, I understand, but before Mr. Samson gets here, I need to hear your side of the story as well."
Reece looks at me nervously so I take her hand in mine and nod, letting her know it's ok.
"W...well"
She sniffles.
"D..diesel was my first friend...when I moved h..here my sophomore year...I..f- figured he was a nice guy...that...he wouldn't do anything to harm me...b-but..one day...i-it was during winter break of my junior year..I..got a phone call...that...my..sister..had passed..."
Her tears start up again when she mentions the loss of her sister and I gently caress the back of her hand with my thumb.
"He..found me c-cutting in my dorm and...quickly rushed to my side and comforted me....told me it was ok and stayed with me until I fell asleep.."
She looks at me and I look down, ashamed when realizing how similar it is to what I did and how scared she must be.
"He...took advantage of me...while I was down..while I was broken...depressed...he made me feel like he cared and I fell for it..."
She gulps and tries to fight back her flowing tears.
"A few..days later..we...hooked up....I trusted him...then...come Christmas day...he..got..upset that I wouldnt...have sex with him still and he hit me then...raped me.."
She loses her fight and starts crying more, pulling her hand away from me to cover her face as the tears continue to flow.
"It was so painful...I begged him to stop...but...that...was just the beginning...he started to rape me more and more....luckily..when he got his girlfriend over the summer...he slowed down...going from 3 time a week to one...and after that it slowly became once a month...sometimes a little more...but...when Kirt came here...he got...aggressively protective and it started to get more and more active again but...this last time....I fought back and screamed...Kirt heard and rushed to us, stopping him but then he...started to do it to Kirt..."
She still cries, softer now but the tears still there.
"Kirt is hurt because of me....I shouldn't have fought back I...I...I.."
"No Miss Reece. It is very very good you fought back. Mr. Samson is going to get what he deserves."
She leaves the room and we hear her talking to Diesel, muffled and not very audible. After a little she returns, Diesel following her in. As Diesel enters he looks at us and smirks.
