Can You Save Me?

chapter - 9

I woke up at around 10 since my dad let me sleep in. I got dressed and drove to school. I got Caleb's truck which I was thankful for and revved up the engine. It's been a while since I've been behind the wheel. I got to school quickly and parked his car towards the back. I got a late pass from the office and made my way to class. This was my 2nd period class so I had to go through another period before lunch. I walked in and everyone looked at me and started whispering. I was so embarassed. Maybe, I could transfer schools or move out of the country. 

The class went by slowly and I tried not to look at anyone. I went to my next class and it was pretty easy so I went through it quickly. It was finally lunch. I still had some left over seeds and finished off the bag as I sat down on the field. The tryouts were going to be at the end of the week and I needed to practice. I made a mental note to do that and I went to my last class. This was also a pretty chill class and was thankful that I didn't have gym with Sebastian.

I spoke too soon because as soon as I made my way outside his car was parked two parking spots away from mine. I don't know why that happened, but it was really uncomfortable and I kept my head down and got into my truck.

I got home and no one was there; I was a little sad. I got home and went into my room. I worked on homework and listened to music. I got a phone call from a number that I didn't know.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Reagan its me, Annabelle," She said with her cheery voice.

"Oh hey how are you?" I asked smiling.

"Ok and you?"

"I'm fine," I said plainly.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to hang out and stuff?" She asked uneasily.

"Yeah of course," I said smiling.

"Cool we could stay in tonight and order take out if you want," She said.

"That sounds awesome," I said happily.

"Cool. I'll be over in 20ish minutes. I need to stop home really quick," She said as we both hung up. I went upstairs to change into some sweats. I heard my bedroom door open and I saw Dave and Henry walk into my room. I pushed myself towards the wall trying to get as far away as I could from them.

"It's been a while hasn't it Sweet Cheeks?" Henry said with a deep voice scaring me. I gulped deeply and held my breathe. One of them ran a hand down my side. I shuddered in disgust. My eyes were shut so I didn't see who it was. The pushed me down on the bed and that caused my eyes to open.

They tore my clothes off my body and the tears came down my cheeks. Thomas penetrated me from the front while Dave penetrated my mouth making me cry more. I heard the door open and Dave pulled out of my mouth making me see who it was. It was Annabelle.

"Annabelle, " I said as I cried again. She was holding up Caleb's baseball bat and she looked angry.

"Let her go right now before you regret it, " She said. Henry pulled out and they got dressed quickly.

"Remember what we said, Reagan," Dave said looking intently at me. They left and Annabelle wrapped her arms around me even when I flinch. I cried for a long time. She convinced me to take a shower while she ordered food. The food got there as soon as I got down stairs and she smiled slightly at me. She served me and I are after she made me.

"So what do you want to watch?" she said like nothing happened earlier making me feel grateful.

"You pick I've watched all of these like 100 times," I said shrugging. She picked out 21 Jump Street probably to lighten the mood. It made me laugh pretty hard. This was one of my favorite movies.  Annabelle and I were laughing and even reciting some of the same lines.

My dad came home and kissed my cheek before going to bed. We ended up eating ice cream until about 8. We had two spoons and ate right from the carton. The movie ended and we brought everything to the kitchen. We sat back down on the couch.

"How long has that been going on?" She said as she changed the channel to MTV.

I gulped,"About 3 months," I said quietly.

"Does anyone know?" She asked again.

"They threatened to kill my dad," I said hesitantly with a raspy voice. She tensed up. "I couldn't tell anyone."

"I don't know what to say, Reagan. You need to tell someone," She said.

"I'm scared. I don't want my dad to die," I said as I started crying again. I put my head into her shoulder and she was petting my hair calming me down. There was something so comfortable about being around Annabelle that I couldn't describe. She decided that we would hang out tomorrow and we would find something to do. She probably is doing this so I'm not at the house.

She came upstairs with me and said goodnight.

"I don't just care about you because you're my boyfriend's sister, but because I want to be there for you and I want you to trust me," She said smiling. I smiled and nodded. She was an amazing girl for Caleb. She kissed my forehead and let herself out. I fell asleep.

I woke up from a nightmare about Annabelle being killed by Dave and Henry. I started crying again and called her.

"Annabelle a-Are you okay? I had a dream and they were," I said rambling on.

"Reagan, sweetie I'm fine," she said cutting me off.

"Okay," I said quietly.

"Do you want me to go over?" She asked worriedly.

"No I'll be fine," I said taking a deep breath calming myself down. 

"Okay well I will see you tomorrow," she said.

"Okay night sorry for waking you up," I said biting my lip.

"You can call me anytime you want, Reagan," She said with honesty in her voice.

"Thanks Annabelle," I said smiling doing my tears that were tickling my cheeks.

"No problem Reagan. Now go to sleep," she said.

"Okay night," I said as I hung up. I went to sleep more peacefully after that.
