Laced Up Love Pt.2

Chapter 5

(Lacy's POV)
"Wha-what do you mean?" I said. Summer took a deep breath. "Remember going to the restaurant before the party? Remember the dude that invited us?" I nodded. "Now I do." I said.

"When we went to his party, you danced with a friend of his. I thought that the two of you were just having a bit of fun so I didn't act on it, not until it was too late I guess. I'm so sorry." She started crying. I started crying too. Kellz kissed my lips and wiped my tears. "You're gonna be okay, baby." The memories all kept flooding back. I remembered dancing with the guy. He was staring at my boobs the entire time. I remember his lips on mine and the smell of Jack Daniels on his breath. I remember feeling stuck. I remember not being able to move, talk, or breath. I remember him carrying me to the couch, fingering me on the way. I remember feeling him go in and out of me, me screaming but apparently not loud enough because Summer didn't even fucking look at me. I remember it all.

I cried harder. I was not upset, I was pissed. I looked at Summer. "You let him fucking rape me." I said. "You couldn't even look at me or get up from that fucking table to get him off of me. You didn't want to fucking help me at all because you're such a selfish fucking bitch! I should have never came to that damn party, but I did. Wanna know why, Summer? I came because I was afraid David would do something to you and I'd be there to protect you! But you? You don't give a fuck about me!"

"Yes I do! I was scared, Lacy!" Summer cried. "So you just fucking sat there and let him have his fucking way with me. Lord, I hope not but I could be fucking pregnant right now by a fucking stranger!" I said. "I-" I stopped her. "No. Just get the fuck out. I'll leave with Kellz. Get the fuck out and never fucking talk to me again, selfish ass bitch!" Summer cried harder, but she did what she was told. I stared at the door for awhile after she left.

Kellz grabbed my hand and kissed it. "What are you thinking about?" He asked. I wasn't looking at him. "I feel ashamed. I feel ashamed and I shouldn't. I feel like in a way this is all my fault. I should have never went with her to that party." Kellz kissed my hand again. "Well you did...and unfortunately, you can't take it back. You can only take this as a lesson and move forward. I know you're hurt, baby girl. I know you were taken advantage of and you feel afraid. But I'm still here." Kellz said.

"How are you still here?" I asked. "How do you still love me, after everything I've put you through?" Kellz squeezed my hand. "You didn't put me through anything. I put myself through it...and I did it because I love you and my love doesn't go away, not until there is no possible way for me to love you anymore...and you have never and probably will never hit that mark." Kellz said. I just cried. He got in the bed beside me, pulling me close to him.

I felt safe here. In his arms, I mean. The world made sense when we were like this. Lately it hasn't made sense. I just felt like we were in two separate tracks. But right now, we were one complete train.

(Kellz' POV)
*2 days before hospital*

I was laying on the couch with the kids. It was getting late and Casie was asleep, leaning on my chest. Jaycob was in my arms, also asleep. My phone rang. I carefully lifted Casie off of me and laid her gently on the couch, pulling the cover over her. I got my phone off the charger on the counter in the kitchen. I looked at the contact. Summer.

"Is everything-" I began. Summer cut me off. "You need to come to California. Something...Something really bad happened to Lacy." She said. "What the fuck do you mean?" I asked. "Just get here, please." Summer said. She gave me the address to the hospital.

I woke Casie up. "Casie. Go get some shoes on. Fast. You're gonna go stay with Ash." Casie yawned and stretched and slowly got up. I put Jaycob in his car seat and got his diaper bag ready. Casie came out of her room with a bag of her toys and stuff and some clothes.

I rushed to Ash's house. I rang the doorbell 5 times in a row. "ASH!" I yelled. She opened the door. I could tell she'd been sleeping. "It's 1 in the morning! What the fucks going on?" Ash said.

"I've gotta get down to Cali, fast!" I said. "Summer called and said something bad happened to Lacy. She wouldn't tell me what the fuck it was but I have to fucking get there fast. Can Casie and Jaycob stay with you?" Ash nodded. "Of course. You go! Let me know what you find out." I nodded. "I will." I got in my car and practically raced to California not making any stops.

I got there the next day around 5 PM. I drove to hospital. I texted Summer.
*I'm here. What room?* She immediately texted back with room number. I ran to the room.

Lacy was unconscious and hooked up to machines. "What did you do?" I yelled. "I didn't do it." Summer said. "We went to a party...We were drinking and we danced with some guys...The guy she danced with...he...she was..." I stared at her. "What? Spit it the fuck out! What happened to my baby?" Summer cried. "He raped her, Kells!" She cried. The world stood still. I couldn't hold back the tears or the anger. I grabbed Summer by the throat. "What the fuck did you just fucking say to me?" I said. "I'm sorry Kellz. I'm so sorry!" Summer cried. A few moments later, Lacy's eyes opened. I immediately moved to be right next to her when she got up. I felt like I should be a little mad at her for dancing with a stranger at a party, but right now I wasn't. I was mad about Lacy leaving to go Cali in the first place.
