Some kind of love

6;

V's pov.

Rape. The one thing no man or women should ever go through. But I was one of those women who went through it.

I walked home late after the party was over. I just stayed in that bed and cried. Cried for hours.

Now I'm just sitting in bed, Ryllie by my side while I cry into her shoulder. She doesn't know what happened. How am I supposed to word it?

She pulls me away and looks sadly into my eyes. She wipes my tears away.

"V, tell me what's wrong. I'm not gonna let you cry and be sad when I can help you." She says, taking my hands and holding them.

I'm at a loss for words, I just look into her eyes and start crying again. I love her, but the only person I feel like I can talk to is Tyler.

Ryllie frowns, standing up. "I know how to help. I'll be right back." I watch her leave as I continue to cry.

-

About an hour later I hear my front door open, and I assume it's just Darren.

Ryllie hasn't come back, and I don't know where she even went.

I start crying more into my pillow as I hear my bedroom door creak open. I see Ryllie, and Tyler next to her.

Instantly my heart beats faster, my thoughts run to all the times I've spent with him, everything just turned me happy to see him.

I run and hug him tightly, seeing Darren roll his eyes from behind.

"I can only explain to you if that's okay." I speak, making Ryllie smile.

I Mouth "thank you" to her before closing my door.

Reality slapping me in the face, I remember what I'm about to tell Tyler, and I start crying again.

He Hugs me tightly. "Take your time." He whispers, sending shivers down my spine.

"I went to a party." I say through sobs. "And... and I got totally fucked up. Weed, drugs. And I danced with this boy." Tyler wiped my eyes as he carefully listens.

"He brought me to a room. He kissed me but I didn't want him to. The started doing things I didn't like, and I screamed for him to stop. I screamed for help." I start sobbing and I see Tyler wiping his own tears away as he embraced me in a hug.

I release him and finish the dreaded story.

"Tyler.. he didn't just kiss me and try to do things. He..." I shake my head and tears roll down my cheeks. "Tyler, he raped me."

Tyler looked at me with a shocked expression, which soon fades to his eyes getting glossy.

"Come here." He hugs me, letting me cry into his shoulder.

-

I hold Tyler's hand as we walk downstairs. I've agreed to tell my mom but only tell her I went to the party sober.

"Mom, you know I've been crying. And I want to tell you what happened."

Her face turned soft and she sat down next to me.

"Mom, I went to a party yesterday. And a guy I know... he raped me." She instantly hugged me, making me cry and making her cry.

"Tyler and Ryllie have been helping me a lot today." I explain, and she smiles with tears rolling down her cheeks.

Maybe their help is enough.
