I'm Into You

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

“Oh Jake it’s just you.” I sigh in relief dropping the bat to the ground and run over to hug Jake.

“Hey babe.  What are you doing here so late?” he answers slurring his words.  I look at the clock and notice the time is 1:30 am. 

“I- I was going to surprise you when you got home.  I made an anniversary dinner!” I show off the dinner table that was prepared hours ago.  The food has got to be cold now. 

“Oh…well…that looks delicious.” Jake says wobbling over to the table.  He trips on his foot and falls flat on the ground.

“Jake?  Are you drunk?” I ask helping him stand to his feet.

“What?  Psh.  No…well yes, maybe a little.”

“But it’s a special day for us.  And you wasted it getting wasted?” I yell to him.

“We can still have a good time.” He smiles giving me a hug and kisses me on the lips.  It isn’t like a normal kiss.  It is one of those sloppy ones. 

“Jake your drunk.” I push him away from me.

“So what!  I want to have my anniversary with you!” he yells back grabbing my arm and pulling me into his bedroom and shutting the door.

“Jake!” I scream and he pushes me onto the bed.  I fight trying to get him off of me.  He somehow takes off my shirt by ripping it apart.  He pulls off his shirt as well throwing them to the floor.  He keeps his grip on me with only one hand and continues kissing me.  His breath smells of alcohol and it is making me sick.  He smells disgusting and I’m pretty sure I’m going to throw up any second.

  He takes bites at my skin leaving marks on my neck and collar bones.  I try to push him off me once again but it doesn’t work.    

“Jake, get off me now!!” I yell again.  He pulls his pants off and throws those across the room as well.  He is just about to try and remove mine.  He hovers over me, making his entire weight keeping me pinned to the bed.  Jake is too big for me to try to fight back.

“I told you I wanted this!  I am not going to wait any longer!  Got it?  Now do as I tell you worthless slut!” Jake yells and slaps me across the face.  I can’t take it anymore.  I will not allow him to rape me while he is drunk.  I need to do something now.

Without thinking it over another second, I jam my knee into his groan as fast as I can.  He doubles over and releases his grip.

“Damn you!” he screams and rolls off of me clutching his crotch. 

I jump off the bed and make a run for the door.  As soon as I reached for the handle Jake pulls me backwards.  His arms are wrapped around mine making me unable to free myself.  I struggle, swerving and turning.  No luck. 

I finally lift my foot and stomp right onto his foot. He loosens his grip enough for me to free one arm.  I jam my elbow into his stomach.  I lean forward then pulled back and smashed my forehead right into his face hoping to break his nose.  He lets out a cry of pain and I run out of the room as fast as I can this time I can make it outside the house.  I grab my phone from the couch and leave. 

As soon as I walk outside I am welcomed with pouring rain.  Really, of all times it has to rain now?  I feel a chill on my skin and realize I am not wearing a shirt.  I am only in my bra and pants.  Good thing it is too dark and late for anyone to be out to see me.  I keep running without turning back.  The rain blurs my vision and I almost run into a tree.

“I’ll get you!  I won’t stop until I have you!” a faint yell is exerted by Jake a few houses down from where I am.  I turned and saw him pass out on the lawn.  Guess the drinks finally knocked him out for good.  I don’t want to go back to try and help him.  I am too afraid of what he will do to me if he wakes up and I am still with him. 

I find a bus stop and hide under the overhang.  I am drenched from head to toe.  My hair is stuck to my face and I am pretty sure my makeup is smeared all over my eyes and cheeks.  I don’t know where to go or what to do.  But only one person comes to my mind.

Luke.

I pull my phone out and called Luke.  It rings and rings.

By the last ring he answers.

“Hello?” he answers in a sleepy voice.

“Luke! I need your help.  I’m sorry about everything that happened but please help me.” I yell into the phone unable to stop my crying.

“What? I can barely hear you.  Are you in the rain?” he asks sounding more alert.

“Jake came home drunk.  I’m under the bus stop a block from his house.  Please come get me.”

“Okay okay I’m coming.  You are lucky he doesn’t live far from me.”

“Okay thank you so much Luke.  Please don’t hang up!” I plead.  I don’t want to be alone with no one to talk to.  I’m too scared.  It’s almost two in the morning and it’s raining.  God knows what freaks are out at this time…or passed out on their front lawn.

“I would never.” He says.

He stays on the line.  Neither of us says a thing.  I hear him occasionally yawn.  I don’t know what to say first and neither does he.  About five minutes later he pulls up in front of me.  I run to the car and sit in the passenger seat.  The air conditioner is on and it is freezing me because of the fact that I am soaked and half naked. 

“T-Turn the air off.  P-Please.” I shiver.

He takes off his jacket he is wearing and wraps it around me.  He rubs his hands over my arms trying to warm me up.  I turn the heat on in the car to make it warmer. 

“Don’t do this.  Just hold me.” I blurt out and wrap my arms around him.  He holds me even tighter rubbing my back.  It’s working.  His body heat is warming me.  My body was still shaking however.  But his warmth isn’t the only the warming me.  Just from his touch my body heats up and my cheeks redden.  What is going on inside of my body right now?

“I’ll take you home.” Luke suggests and pulls out of the hug.

I nod my head and lean back in my seat while he drives to my house.
