REBORN

Chapter 7-Leave me alone!

WILLIAM'S P.O.V ( NICHOLAS DAD)

I don't believe this! That stupid boy! Completely foolish just like his mother! Emotional fools! He went to jail because for that slut. He was never mature! What does he think of himself? I will not let him tarnish my reputation in which I took ages to build. It's because of him that there are these whole divorce proceedings going on between me and my wife. If only he would shut his mouth, and now by doing his confession, he has ruined everything. What haven't I given him? All the luxuries he had were because of me. Without me he is nothing! No one! He just comes here and insults me. How dare he?

Because of him my company is going in a loss. All the share prices have dropped, no one wants to do any business deals with us because of that imbecile! You shouldn't have done this Nicholas, and now you surely will pay for this. I will make you pay for it. Son or not you will face the consequences. I will show you that without me you are nothing. Mark my words!

AUBREY'S P.O.V.

I hear the ultimate by Denzel Curry from my alarm blasting and turn around to off it. I see its 7:30 a.m so I have another hour till college starts. I wake up and go to the bathroom for my morning routine. Normally I am not such a morning person but since that incident my life is not normal, neither am I. Last night was one of the worst nights in my life where I couldn't even sleep. All the images were flashing in my mind, the memories were coming at once and I didn't know how to stop them, how to erase them. The torture, the pain, the marks, everything.

Sighing, I got into the shower and took a quick bath. I changed into my clothes and got down for breakfast. Since Kylie was still asleep, I decided to make pancakes and coffee for the both of us knowing how much Kylie loves them. I am staying at Kylie because I couldn't breathe in my house. Well not literally, of course. Just too many bad memories that would haunt my dreams at night. At least here, I have Kylie. As soon as I was done, I put my plate in the sink and left for college.

I reach college and make my way to class, but I notice people staring at me which is very unusual considering no one ever noticed me before. For them I never existed but now the way they were looking at me was giving me creeps. Suddenly, a group of people pass by me and push me down intentionally.

"Look at her. Why would someone even want to rape her? What does she have after all? I am sure she must have forced herself upon the guy and poor him he got arrested because of her. Bloody whore!"

Tears stung at the corner of my eyes and I get up and run to the washroom. Why did he have to do this? Why? I scream in my mind. Why? What did I ever do to him? Why God why me? I gather myself up and make my mind to head towards class knowing I have only 2 weeks left for college before I graduate and after that I will be away from all these people and their judgmental comments.

However, people still never stopped judging me and every now and then they either push me or call me names. Sometimes I feel as though all these people are heartless. They don't understand anyone's pain just like HIM. At the mere thought of him, anger courses through my body. I will never forgive you. NEVER for making my life worse than hell.

I come out from college and make my way towards the bar where I work. As I enter I see Mr. Roberts barking out instructions to the workers and Sasha busy looking at her nails. I hurriedly enter and go to the staff room to change into my waitress outfit as I am interrupted by Mr. Robert's voice.

"Aubrey come in my cabin. Now."

I enter his cabin and find him sitting on his black leather chair. He motions me to come inside and have a seat.

"So Aubrey I called you here to tell you that you are no longer needed here. Sign this termination letter and leave with your belongings."

"W-what sir! Leave? But why? What do you mean sir?"

"I mean that you are fired! So leave"

"But sir w-why? What have I done?" I asked all the while stuttering.

"What have you done? You piece of trash, you sleep around with man and get them arrested for rape! I don't need people like you here"

"Sir please believe me. I didn't do anything. Where will I go please?. I really need the money. Please don't do this to me I beg you don't remove me from this job."

"Listen here you piece of shit, I don't care where you go or what you do. All I know is that you are no longer going to work here. Got it? I don't need filthy bitches like you. Now get out of here you whore. Go sleep with some other men to get money for all I care. Now get out!!"

Without replying I leave his office and as if the insult was not enough, I came face to face with Sasha.

"You used to act so innocent around here but you have finally shown your true colours eh! I am glad Rob got to know your reality and fired you. That is what you deserve you bitch!" She said as she walked away sashaying her hips seductively to the men present.

Tears were streaming down my cheeks as I left the bar. I could feel the raindrops falling on my skin and the clouds turning into a shade of black just like my life and before I knew it started raining and I was getting drenched but I didn't bother running because I know this is how my life is. Dark and Alone.

I reached Kylie's apartment and saw she wasn't home yet. Suddenly a loud thunder struck and all the lights in the house went off. I started panicking and went in search of candles in the kitchen. With shaky hands I opened the drawer and looked for candles when another thunder struck causing me to scream and drop my bag on the floor. I ran upstairs to my room all the while tripping on the stairs and closed the door. The thunders got louder and with each passing moment I got more frightened.

"No no no." I screamed.

"Go away. Leave me alone! Don't touch me please go away. Don't do this. Get off me"

The nightmares were coming back and the darkness was just increased them even more. All around the room I could see images of what he did to me that night. The way he pushed me, hit me. But most of all I remembered the way he raped me. Ruthlessly like an animal does when he kills his prey. Without any mercy.

"Noooooooooooooooo" I screamed into the darkness. "Please go away. Don't come near me. No no no. please don't do this to me. Just go away from me. Just go"

Suddenly my room door burst open and in came Kylie running towards me.

"Shhhhh Aubrey. It's ok. I am here, don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. No one's here. Calm down. I am right here."

"Kylie he is going to come back. Please help me. He is going to come back." I was sweating profusely at the thought of him coming back to get me.

"No Aubrey no one is going to come. Look, it is just me and you. No one will come next to you. He is locked up Aubrey. He will never reach you."

I hugged Kylie tightly and sobbed as she whispered soothing words to me. A few moments later the lights switched on and I could feel myself visibly calm down. Kylie helped me and get up and put me in bed.

"Relax Aubrey. Just sleep, you need some sleep. I am right here next to you sweety."

I nodded and felt myself falling into a deep slumber. Sleep.
