Our Cinderella Story

The Attack

Tyler's POV:

     My eyes start to squint as I see that I'm being welcomed back to hell... I'm not supposed to be here! I'm supposed to be dead! I don't want to even look at Kendall again! That's why I wanted to leave! She wants fucking Colby! Not me! So why the fuck should I be here!

     I see a women nurse standing in the doorway messing with folders on the wall. "We'll look at that. Your awake! You feeling okay?" "No..." "Why honey what's wrong?" "My girlfriend is freaking cheating one me!!!" I say as my eyes close and my fists clench in anger. And as I open my eyes I see Kendall standing in the doorway behind the nurse with a hospital gown on and an IV stand with her...

    "You think I was cheating?" She says with a worried and scared look. "That's what Nathan told me." I give her a look and start to raise my voice. "I wasn't cheating on you and I never will..." "Then why would Nathan tell me that?! Huh?" I raise my voice so loud the nurse comes over to me and whispers to calm down. I look down at my wrist to see stitches in me. "Why did you save me Kendall. You don't want me." She walks over to me and sits down on the chair next to me and puts her hand on mine. I try to pull mine back but she won't let me.

      "Tyler, I will never not want you. I will always love you. I don't think I'm going to love anyone else. Your amazing and I can't live without you. That's why I have twice as many scars as you. I watched you lay there in the ambulance, helpless, weak. I'm not going to let you go in that state again. Your too amazing to let go of. I don't love Colby and I never will, I mean, he was the kind of guy to sexually assault girls in the bathroom or hall or anywhere to be honest. And that cut on my stomach, it's from him." I look to see if the nurse is still in the room and she's not. I get tears in my eyes. I have a feeling I'm going to be crying a lot for a while...

     "What did Colby do to you?!" I whisper, but yet still kind of yelling. "Well, it was about two years ago and I saw him in my neighborhood.i was the only one home and next thing I know he was at my doorstep. Before, in 5th grade he was like a brother to me and he wasn't like this big slut puppy. So I invited him in. We talked for a while and everything seemed fine. But then he tried to make a move in me. And I told him no and scooted away, he got closer and begged me, but I still said no. He started to put his hand under my shirt and I tried to force him away but he pushed me down, well threw me down on the floor and... He tried to rape me... He put his hand over my mouth and wouldn't let me move. I threw him off and he told me to stay there and not to move. He ran to the kitchen, not thinking I started running. He caught me from behind and put his hand over my mouth and dragged me to my room. I kept forcing my way out but he just kept trying... And he had taken my clothes off and his off too so we were in our underwear and I was in my bra too. I kicked him to get him off and I ran out in the hallway but he caught me from behind again and took a knife and sliced my stomach open. Then Brynn came in the house and Colby ran. I was rushed to the hospital and I got 33 stitches. There's not a day that goes by when I don't think about it..."
