Heal The Scars

I'm hurting all over

My life flashed before my hazel eyes, as I struggled to stand on my two feet. The guy, whoever he was, had his hands tight around my neck, squeezing, cutting off my airway. I fought to breathe. My chest heaving up and down at a rapid pace, his hands around my neck and his hands cupping my mouth making it that much harder.

I thrashed in his grip, he loosened the hold on my neck. He couldn't keep up with my movements and he finally let me go. I went into defense mode, kicking him in the balls sending him into a frenzy. A guy grabbed my waist from behind, my reflexes causing him to get an elbow to the jaw.

I made a run for it, legs moving against the pavement swiftly, reaching for the light that shone at the end of this dark hole. But me being the clumsy self I am, I tripped over my shoelaces and fell on my ankle. Pain surged through my aching body when I tried standing up, "Help! Someone help me, please!" I yelled, into the night air.

The streets were practically empty, except the roaring of cars on the nearby highway. No one was here to save me. Hunter didnt even know where I am. More than likely my ankle was broken. And to top it all off I was surrounded by lustful predators.

Dirty fingers wrapped around my aching ankle, I let out a scream as he dragged me back into the dark alley in a thrashing mess.

"We're gonna have so much fun, babe." He whispered in my ear, pinning my wrists to the cold pavement. I shook my head in response, as he leaned in, placing dirty open mouthed kisses on my skin.

"Stop, please. " I plead as he began unbuckling my jeans.

"Shut up before I kill you." He spat, tugging the fabric down to my ankles. Tears sprung to my eyes and I bit my lip to hold back my sobs, but the shaking of my legs gave it away. He got another guy to hold my wrists, while he fought to take off my underwear. I turned my head away when he finally did.

"She's a beauty, mate." I heard him say, talking to the other guys, before smiling down at me. Showing his rotten teeth.

I began crying uncontrollably when he undressed himself, his pants hanging loosely on his ankles. He started towards me when he was tackled to the ground by an unknown force and I soon realized it was Hunter, Josh, Jake, and Brandon who came to the rescue.

Fists were flying everwhere, Hunter threw full forced punches at the guy who almost took my v-card. I was sure that the guy's face was broken in half, when he finally tumbled to the ground, unconscious. 

Hunter kneeled down next to where I lay propped against the wall in the only article of colthing I had left; my t-shirt. "Come on lets get you home." He said, taking off his jacket to cover my exposed skin. He stood up, holding out his arms in a motion for me to get up.

"I-I can't." I told him truthfully, my face still slick with tears.

"Why not?" He asked.

"My ankle. It hurts." I said, trying my best not to look vulnerable in front of him even though he saw me a few hours ago in my vulnerable state.

"I'll carry you then." he stated, squatting next to me  again, and placing his arm under my knees and around my back. He stood up with me and his arms and began walking out of the alley towards his car, where he placed me in the back seat. After he climbed in, he shut the door behind himself.

"Where does it hurt?" His eyes shone full of worry and sympathy. I wanted to tell him all over. My heart hurts, and my body aches. That I just wanted to dig a hole and bury myself alive. I wanted to know why he cared so much, why he'd come save a stranger that he'd only met a little less than a month ago. A stranger that still suffers from her past which haunts each and everyday. A stranger that doesn't even know who she truly is or where she belongs or how to make it in this world, and how to be happy with every choice you make and not to punish yourself by cutting your thighs and wrists because of your mistakes. Or how to learn to love your self for the things you are and not what you aren't.  And how to learn how to be strong and happy without getting hurt. I wanted to know it all.

"Everywhere. Im hurting all over."  I told him.
