Down Home Girl

Chapter 17:

"I'm telling you, Sarah,  he can't work with us." Rob argued. I sat in the recording studio alone with Rob, try to get his drum patterns recorded. Somehow we got on the subject of Aiden.

"And why not?!" I exclaimed.

"Because he has no experience!" Rob yelled back. "He's an idiot!"

"Yeah well he's smarter than you! At least he didn't rape me!!" I cried. His face turned red. He grabbed me and pushed me up against the wall.

"You're lucky I haven't hurt you yet. The only thing keeping me from doing it again is your little boyfriend. And guess what, he's not here." Rob spat.

"He would find out." I was shaking.

"How?" He asked. His hot breath on my neck. "If you don't say anything, he'd never know."

His hands moved down to my waist and he pushed some hair behind my ear. I swatted his hand away.

"Stop it Robert."

He chuckled, and started kissing my neck. "I love it when you get angry."

I tried to push him off, but he was too strong. He reached under my shirt and I started screaming. He covered my mouth but I bit him. He slapped me and threw me on the couch.

"HELP ME!!!!" I cried, and he pulled my shirt off.

I heard the door swing open, and Rob was pulled off of me. I looked up to see Aiden. Relief swarmed over me.

"I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE HER ALONE!" Aiden screamed at Rob. He started beating him. I was almost scared he would kill him.

"Aiden...Aiden stop." I stuttered. He kept going.

"AIDEN STOP IT! You're gonna kill him!" I exclaimed. I was shaking uncontrollably. He looked at me, shocked. "I'll call the cops, and tell them what he did...just please stop."

"No. Don't. We're done here. Let's go home." Aiden said, and grabbed my hand. I looked down at Rob's almost lifeless body.

"Let's go." I said, and put on my shirt.

Aiden pulled me to the car.

"Why were you here?" I asked, softly.

"I was picking you up to go get lunch with you, but that turned into rescuing you." He said.

"I'm sorry." I said softly.

"It's not your fault." He said. "So don't say sorry."

I nodded.

"So are you hungry?" He asked.

"A little. But I've kinda lost my apatite." I told him.

"Do you want something to eat?" He asked, still confused.

"Sure." I responded.

We stopped to get food and went home. Rachel and Carl weren't home, and I had packing to do. The house Aiden and I were buying would be ready for us to move in, in a week.

"How much more packing do you have to do?" Aiden asked.

"Not much." I said. "Most of everything is still in boxes."

"Well come here. We've got the house to ourselves." He said, shutting the door, and locking it.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm just trying to get some privacy. We don't have to do anything." He said. I nodded. He sat on the bed and looked at me. I walked over to him and stood between his legs. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I cuddled into him.
