Bleeding Hearts

Chapter 18

*Ashley's Point of View*

We got to the movies quickly. I was excited and nervous at the same time. "Want any popcorn or anything?" Alex asked. He'd been pretty quiet on the drive over here, but he kept looking at me. Kind of like I was a piece of meat that he wasn't sure if he wanted to buy. "Lets share a large popcorn. And I'd kind of like a diet doctor pepper if you don't mind." I said. I didn't want to make him spend a bunch of money, but I did forget to eat before I left home. I was too busy thinking about the date. "Two diet doctor peppers and a large popcorn." He told the cashier. When we got our food we got to the movie room thing and sat down in the last row of seats at the back. The movie was just starting. Our hands met, and a scary scene came on. I almost screamed. I don't freak out at every little thing, but this movie was scary as heck. I squeezed his hand, and for a tiny second I thought, "I wish Ryan were here.". It quickly left and the movie continued. About half way through, Alex's hand left mine, and he put it on my leg. "Come with me." He said and we left the movie room. "Where are we going?" I asked, confused. He didn't respond. He took me outside the theater, and into the alley next to it. This wasn't good. "Alex what are you doing." I asked. Is he... He began to try and rape me. I screamed "RAPE!" as loud as I could. I heard someone running toward us. Alex jerked away from me. It was a movie theater employee. "Hey!" He yelled. "Get away from her!" Thank god. "She's lying!" Alex said. His grip had loosened on me and I ran for the movie theater guy. "Seems to me she's scared out of her mind." He said when I got to him. "And I also noticed that you were holding her there pretty tightly." He said. "Go home buddy." Alex began to leave. I jumped to the side when he passed me, and I heard him mumble "You'll pay for this Ashley." And he left. "Thank you so much." I breathed. I realized I had been holding my breath. "Are you alright to get home miss?" My rescuer asked. "Yeah, I don't live far from here. I'll walk." I answered. "Okay, get home safe." He said, and I left. I couldn't believe Alex tried to rape me... How could he?
