Secrets {EXO FF}

Chapter Fifty Three: Arabelle's pov

I woke up and lifted my head. I looked for Chen, but he wasn't there. I rolled out of bed to look for his shirt. He had taken that with him too. I walked into the living room where Rennae, Sarah, and Xiumin sat.

"Well good morning." Sarah said. Rennae got up and ran over to me.

"Good morning, Lovely." I said to Rennae while hugging her.

"Just in case you were looking for Jongdae, he's at work. He's gonna' be there a lot. Just so you know." Xiumin said in his cute quiet voice. Sarah looked at me and cocked her head.

"Xiu, do you think you could watch her for an hour or two? Sarah and I need to go somewhere." I said.

"Of course." He said.

"Can I please come?" Rennae asked.

"You have to be 18 or older to go there, Love." She nodded her head and sat down next to Xiumin. Sarah and I got dressed and got in the car.

While we were driving, I completely blanked. All I could think about was that kid, and Chen.

"Arabelle!" Sarah screamed as I slammed on the brakes. I was lucky she did that because we almost got hit by a car.

"Pull over, now." Sarah said. I pulled into a parking lot. We switched spots and I didn't speak. Sarah knew where we were going without even asking. I was glad the jail was a small ways away, because I needed that car ride to think.

We were also going to court to prove that doctor guilty so he could be locked up. I stared out the window and kept rethinking the scenario over and over again. I thought about the night before and how I had completely blown Chen off. I felt bad, but I knew he understood.

The doctor didn't really rape me. He never did anything to my womanhood. If Namjoon would have shown up any other time after, my life would be forever different. The helplessness I felt in those moments was terrible. I was completely useless to myself. I couldn't protect myself, I couldn't fight back, I couldn't even call for help, I was completely out of control. I was so scared and worried. I thought that I could have been changed for life in that moment. The way he pinned me against the wall and the ground was terrible. The way he touched me made me feel like I was dead. Never in control of my body, but conscious to witness everything. It was like being a spirit of yourself watching as it all happened. Like your efforts to help yourself were useless.

"Hey, we're here." Sarah said. I got out of the car and lifelessly walked into the jail. We waited until Corey was available. Sarah talked to him and signed the papers. He was sober and normal now, but I wasn't capable of speech at the moment. Once we left I didn't say a word to Sarah.

We got to the courthouse and waited for the officers to bring the boy in.

"You're worrying me. You haven't said a word since we left." Sarah said.

"I'll be somewhat okay after he's arrested." Namjoon and Jimin showed up before the boy did. Namjoon grabbed my hand. I jerked away from him in instinct. I put my hand back down and grabbed his again.

"Don't worry. He can't hurt you here." Namjoon said while squeezing my hand.

"Not physically." I said while looking down at the floor.

"Ma'am, you need to leave. You are not family or a witness." An officer told Sarah.

"Sarah leaves and we have a problem. You tell me that she isn't family, we have a problem. She stays or we all leave and you have a rapist walking the streets." I said to him out of anger. He nodded his head and walked away.
