TOXIC · Justin Foley

91 (Reality)

Third person

Zenobia awoke to a stinging sensation in her ass, the memories of last night rushing into her mind. It hurt to move, but she knew all too well that every second she waited would count against her so she pushed through the pain, tears pooling in her azure eyes as she got dressed and grabbed her stuff before hurrying into her car and driving to the police station. 

After a drilling session with the police, in which she felt more like the perpetrator than the victim, she got back into her car. Thankfully they allowed her to charge her phone. She didn't know who to call as she sat in her seat, fingers shaking. 

"J-Just-" Her call of his name was cut off by a sob that racked through her body.

"Whose ass am I beating?" That wasn't Justin's voice, she must have been so blinded by her tears that she accidentally called Montgomery.

"Please just come to the p-police station, I need somebody." Zenobia managed to stutter through her crying, an insatiable desire to be held was taking over her right now.

"I'll be there as soon as I can, baby girl." 

"Okay." She didn't want to get off the phone with him, even his voice was enough to calm her down but she knew he had to call a cab so she hung up. 

A few minutes later, Zenobia had finally calmed down when a frantic Montgomery de la Cruz ran towards her. 

"What's wrong, cupcake? Tell me everything."

"C-can you drive me home to shower? I'll tell you after." Monty knew that stutter meant that he shouldn't press the matter, so he didn't. He drove her home in a strange silence, allowing her time to shower as he took out clean underwear for her as well as a pajama top; she liked sleeping pants-less.  

As Montgomery did this, Zenobia scrubbed her skin raw in an attempt to wipe away Eli's evil touch. She continued this until she began bleeding, the hot water burning the open skin caused her to let out a loud yell of anguish. Montgomery wasted no time in breaking the bathroom door down, rushing over to a bloody Zenobia.

"It's not w-what it looks like." She weakly protested as he shook his head.

He got a towel, carefully wrapping her up in it before bringing her down to the bed. "Do you need band-aids?" 

Zenobia shook her head in response to his question. "Can you help me dress? Please." Her voice was child-like as she looked up at him.

He could never say no to her. So he dressed her in silence, trying not to touch the sore skin. 

"Monty, Eli raped me." The words slipped past Zenobia's lips, the realization of what he did to her causing her to sob once more.

There were so many things Montgomery wanted to say, so many things he wanted to do but he opted to just hold Zenobia. He played with the strands of her hair in the way he knew calmed her down until she fell asleep in his arms.
