I climbed out of the car, and leaned down. "Thanks for the ride Jillian."
"Your welcome, don't take hours getting home ok?"
"Yeah no problem."
I closed the door, and then turned around to face the clothing shop. I breathed out, and walked up to the door, pulling it open. I walked into the store, and smiled. This was my favourite place to shop for clothes.
I wander around the store picking out things that I would like, and that I wanted before moving over to the changing rooms.
"How many?" The lady asked.
"umm..." I counted the number of clothing articles I had. "Twenty.."
"Alright.." I heard her snap her gum, as she walked over to one of the rooms. "Take this one."
She opened the door, and I walked over and stepped in. I closed the door just as another had opened. I began pulling my own clothes off to try on the ones that I had picked out when I heard the other door clothes again. Humming came from the other change room, and it sounded very familiar.
I closed my eyes, as I tried on several different shirts. I really hoped that the humming wasn't coming from who I thought it was. Once finished trying on the shirts, I tried on the pants and found that only one pair didn't fit. I pulled off the last pair of pants, and pulled my own back on. I opened the door, and gathered all my clothing. I stepped out, and then dropped of the pair of jeans that didn't fit, and moved back to the racks, to find that same pair but a couple sizes bigger.
Once I had found the jeans, I walked over to the checkout and then placed the clothes down on the counter. I looked at the racks below the counter and picked out a couple necklaces. The cashier, scanned the items, and then totaled up the price.
"Eighty-two, thirty-one." She stated, and I pulled out my wallet.
"Do you take hundred dollar bills?" I asked curiously.
"Yes we do."
I pulled a hundred dollar bill, and handed it to her. She took it, and opened the cash register. I watched her count out my change, and then handed it to me. I took it from her, and just as I did I heard a voice.
"Aadin!" Miranda's voice filled my head.
I tensed, and took my bag of clothing and two necklaces. I turned slowly.
"Miranda... good to... see you."
"You to Aadin, it's so funny to see you here!"
I moved away from the counter, and then walked to the front door of the store.
"Aadin! Wait for me please!"
I sighed knowing that if I didn't so as she asked I would get it. I turned and watched her pay for her things. She caught up to me, and linked her arm around mine.
"Let's go into an alley. and talk." I gulped nervously.
Miranda then dragged me off to the closest alleyway. She put down her bags, and then looked at me.
"Aadin, I think we could have some fun!"
"Miranda, please no..."
Miranda glared at me, and then grabbed me by the hair dragging me down to the ground.
"No fighting Aadin! You know what you are."
Tears sprang in my eyes, and quickly fell down my face.
"Say it for me Aadin. Say it for me."
I whimpered, and then Miranda grabbed my throat. Her grip was slightly tight, and it was causing me to lose some air.
"Say. It." She growled.
"I-I-I'm your," I sobbed. "I'm your d-d-dirty man whore." I finally choked out.
Miranda grinned, from her own pleasure, and then went about her business.
**********************************************************************
I layed there in the alleyway sometime after Miranda had left. Tears had dried up on my face, and my pants were only part way pulled up. Just around the time the sunset, a man walked through the alley and spotted me. The man just happened to be a police officer, and her moved towards me.
"Son.. son, are you ok?"
I shuddered, and whimpered again, before softly responding. "I-I-I w-w-was j-just r-r-r-r-r-ra-" I couldn't even finish the sentence.
The police officer, picked me up, and then also picked up the bag of clothes I had bought earlier that day.
"Come on let's get you home." He carried me over to his car, and when he neared it his partner got out.
"What happened?!"
"Rape victim."
The other police officer then helped me into the car, and then asked me where I lived. I simple stammered the address of the apartment building, and then gave them Jillian's phone number. The partner pulled out his cellphone, and gave Jillian a call. I simply laid there in the back curled in a ball. After a couple minutes the car pulled into the parking lot, and Jillian came running out of the building. The driver of the car climbed out, and talked with Jillian before helping me out. Even John came out of the building in his pj bottoms, to help out.
The police officer handed me over to John, and John took me, and carried me upstairs. I was placed in my bed, and Jillian looked at me.
"Aadin, are you going to be ok?" She asked.
"Y-y-y-yeah."
John looked at her, and then directed her out of my bedroom. "Jillian... Let's go, he wants to be alone.."
I shuddered at that thought, and then looked at Jillian. "Call Quxxin for me."
Jillian looked at me, "Of course!"
I watched as they left the room, and then I just stared up at the ceiling. I was still shaking from fear, and I dared not to close my eyes in fear of nightmares haunting me.
