CHAPTER 43: UNBELIEVABLY WRONG

The night everything went unbelievably wrong....

"Sarah, you can leave. I'll be okay."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea."

"Okay, feel better babe."

Ed left for home nearly a month ago and I'm still depressed about it. I didn't think I'd miss him as much as I do, but I guess I'm dealing. I've pretty much been hanging out with friends to make me feel better. So far I've had Sarah, Hailee, Claire, Dianna, and Ashley over almost every week and I'm sure they're tired of me so I try not to call them over too much. I'm really lonely, though, and I need someone to talk to so I go through some of my contacts and look for someone I haven't bothered yet.

Demi

Harry

Hayley

Jack A.

Liam

Niall

Zac....

Zac. We haven't talked in a while and he's probably not that busy anyways. I call him up right away.

"Hello?"

"Zac, hey it's Taylor."

"Hey, what's up?"

"I've just been lonely and I needed someone to talk to aaaand I decided to call you!"

"Oh, well okay..."

"What, are you busy? If you're busy you can hang up."

He laughs, "No, it's fine um...would you like me to come over?"

"Wait, you're in Nashville?"

"Yea, I'm visiting my friends for awhile."

"Omg seriously, that would be great."

"Alright, I'll be over soon."

"K, bye."

And so I wait until Zac gets here. It takes him about half an hour before he gets here, and when he does, it's so much fun.

"Zac, give me my phone!"

"Wait, one more." he says, taking another picture with my phone.

"Now give it."

"Fine", then he tosses it to me.

"What do you want to do now?"

"Watch movies, of course."

I beg him to watch High School Musical but he's afraid I might laugh at him or something, so we end up watching this not-so-scary scary movie. About halfway into the movie, Zac speaks up.

"I'm not really into this movie, do you mind if I turn it off?", he asks.

"Eh, I wasn't really that into it either." He switches the television off and turns to me.

"So..."

"So?"

He smiles at me then leans in a little bit, causing me to back up some.

He chuckles, "Don't be shy, Tay."

"What do you mean?"

"I know why you really called."

"I'm confused, what-"

He cut me off with his lips. My eyes opened wide and I pushed him off of me.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" I asked while getting up. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into his lap, touching my hips and slowly feeling up my stomach.

"Zac, move!" I said, slapping him in the face.

He tackles me on the couch and I start screaming. He uses his hand to muffle my sounds, but I start kicking at him.

"ZAC STOP!" I yell, but its all muffled under his fingers. I scream even louder and by now he's telling me to shut up and holding my mouth tighter.

"This isn't what I wanted, please leave", I plead, tears streaming down my face.

He simply uncovers my mouth and starts to strip me of my clothes. I try screaming again but he shields my mouth.

"If anything else comes out your mouth, you're dead." I didn't believe he'd actually hurt me but something in his eyes said otherwise. Again, he's taking our clothes off and I try to stop him in every way I can. Throwing stuff, attempting to run, hitting him. They're all failed attempts. At some point I guess I had to face my fate...he was going to rape me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And if you say anything to anyone, I swear to God I will get both of you."

I cower on the couch, rocking myself. I have nothing but fear and anxiety flowing inside me. I cry and cry and don't go to sleep at all that night. What am I gonna do? I can't tell anybody. I can't tell Ed....

I start crying again, just thinking about everything that went on that night. I have to tell Ed.
