California Dream

Chapter 19

We step out the back door into the darkness. The night air is still warm maybe about 80 degrees still. we walk down the beach to the bon fire burning brightly in the night.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Erin exclaims.

"This is your alls first beach party isn't it?" Ashley asks.

"Yup," Erin and I both reply.

"Well they're lots of fun. Just watch out for the weird guys that get drunk and try to hit on you."

"Um ok?" I say.

I walk through the crowd of people searching for Kian. Someone grabs my arm from behind. I whirl around to see who it is.

"Kian!" I squeal flashing him a smile.

"Hey there," he says a big grin spreading across his face. "Come with me." He guides me away from

The crowd. "You want something to drink?"

"Sure, just get me a diet coke."

"Alright. I'll be right back." He turns and walks away.

I walk down to the edge the water letting the waves lap over my feet. The water looks so calm and peaceful I could just look at it forever.

"Sup," I hear a voice say from behind me. I slowly turn not really sure who it is. Oh shit.

"What do you want Travis," I spat at him.

"Easy there. I just came to talk. Calm down a bit."

"Don't fucking tell me to calm down. What the hell are you even doing here?"

"I came to make this get together a real party," he says raising a bottle of vodka.

"Well no one wants you here so leave."

"Oh come on! Everyone wants me here. why don't you ditch this shitty party and come home and be my main bitch for the night," he says grabbing me around the waist. I try to pry him off me but he's to strong.

"You're disgusting. Let me go you fucking asshole." I squirm within his grasp but nothing works. God please hurry up Kian.

Before I know it Travis kisses me. I try to pull away but I can't. His grip is tightly wrapped around me leaving me vulnerable to his every move. He shoves his tongue down my throat. Without really thinking I bite his tongue hard. He let's go of me from the pain that must be pulsating through it.

"You little bitch! You fucking bit me!" He slurs. As I look more closely at him I realize that his tongue is bleeding.

"What's going on here!" Kian yells from behind Travis.

"Nothing! Why don't put your dog on a leash," Travis says to Kian.

"Excuse me?" I say to him trying to make my voice sound as stern as possible.

"Annie don't. I'll handle this," Kian says trying to block me from Travis.

"You need to leave. Now!" Kian yells at Travis.

"What if I don't want to," Travis shoots back.

"Then I can call the cops."

"Oh no! You'll call the cops!" Travis says in a thick sarcastic girly tone.

"Oh shut up," Kian says rolling his eyes.

"I'm not leaving until she comes with me," Travis says pointing at me.

"Well you can forget it dumb fuck!" I shout at him from behind Kian.

"Fine then I guess we have to do this the hard way," Travis throws a hard punch right to Kian's eye knocking him out. "Looks like your knight in shining armor is out cold."
