Only You Can Save Me

Demi's POV

I slid the blade across my wrist and watched as the thick, red liquid trickled down my arm and into the bathroom sink. I sighed in relief as if it were a drug. It felt like one. I don't know. All I know is that I've been doing this for years and It makes me feel better. It sounds sick, I know. I don't know how to explain it though. I took a cloth to control the blood and then rolled down my long sleeve to conceal the fresh new cut. I walked out of the bathroom and checked the text on my iPhone.

Selena: hey wanna go out tonight?

Demi: where?

Selena: to a club

I thought about whether I wanted to actually go somewhere tonight. I guess I did need some fun.

Demi: sure sounds like fun

Selena: cool :) be ready in an hour

- 1 hour later

I walked out of my apartment to Selena's car that also awaited my close friends, Ariana and Ashley. I sat down on the black leather seat next to Ashley. "Damn girl you look hot." Ashley smirked. I laughed at my friends compliment. "Well thank you." I wore a skintight black dress that defined my curves perfectly. I put on my silver and black bracelets to hide my cuts. I wore some black heels to finish it off. I curled my reddish brown hair. "Yeah Dems you better watch out, some guy might try to get in your pants." Ariana joked. "Oh shut up, Ari." I laughed. I can already tell tonight is going to be interesting.

-At the club

We walked into the club and the first thing I noticed were the neon lights flashing all around. There were drunk guys and girls grinding and dancing on each other while others were just at the bar. As I was looking around I caught a pair of mysterious, emerald green eyes staring at me. The guy was tall and he had gorgeous brown hair. I began to think that it was odd even if I looked at him that he didn't remove his faze from me. "Were gonna go dance." Selena interrupted my deep thought about the mysterious guy. "Alright. Im just gonna go get a drink then." I said as her, Ashley, and Ariana walked off to the dance floor. I walked up to the bar and ordered a drink from the bartender. I muttered a thanks once he handed me the alcoholic beverage and took a big drink of it. I looked to my side to see a guy smirking at me. He was quite fit. He had brown eyes, very different from the emerald eyes that were just look at me a few moments ago. "Can I help you?" I asked the unknown male, playfully. "Oh sorry. Its just are you here all by yourself?" he asked. "Of course not. My friends are here with me." I told him "Oh sorry where are my manners? I'm Joe." he extended his hand out to me. I shook his hand and smiled softly. "Demi." He smirked at me again. "Hey can you get the lady a shot." he nodded towards the bartender. "Thanks." I said as I gulped down the shot. "No problem." He smirked. It seemed like a matter of minutes that we were now on the dance floor dancing on each other and I could feel the alcohol rushing through my body. Even as my drunk self, I started to worry about where my friends were since I had not seen then since they told me they were going to dance. "I-I have to go find my friends." I slurred. "Oh I don't think so babe." Joe said as he grabbed my wrist and an dragged me outside the club to a pitch black alley. "Wh-what are you doing." I stared at him with pure fear in my eyes. "We're gonna have some fun, sweetheart." he said and pushed me up against the wall and hitched up my dress. "No please don't! Help! Help!" I screamed as loud as I possibly could. He put his hand to put it over my mouth so my screams were now muffled. "Listen, bitch, we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way but either way were doing this!" he yelled and pulled a pocket knife out of his pant pocket and put it to my throat. I nodded slowly to show him that I understood. "Good girl." he put the pocket knife away. I gulped in fear and I could feel my hot, wet tears streaming down my face. I closed my eyes as I could hear the zipper of his pants. I now began to sob. This was it. I was going to get raped. I was actually a virgin and now it was going to be taken away from me from some monster. It happened all too fast. I was no longer in Joe's grip. I heard a punch being thrown and realized I still had my eyes closed. I opened my eyes to see Joe on the ground, knocked out and looked up to see the same pair of emerald eyes.
