Ride

one

"STOP! GET AWAY FROM ME!" I yell but it's not helping. No one could hear me. He starts playing with the hem of my shirt and I'm struggling to get out of his arms. He finally lets go. His hands go up to my cheek. I manage to kick him where it hurts. He falls on the floor. And I run. I run for my life. And I bump into someone.

"Are you okay? I heard screaming." He's extremely attractive. He has curly hair and light eyes. And tons of tattoos and he has an accent. "Why are you crying?" I didn't even realize I was crying. "Helloooo?"

"H-He tried t-to rape me." I manage to say to this stranger who looks about my age.

"Come. By the way my name is Harry." Harry says to me but I'm so scared about what happened to me I don't want to trust anyone.

"N-no. Get away." I warn and then I look to my left. It's the guy. He's coming. "I-it's him."

"Come on!" He yells at me and he's taking me into a car. I'm guessing it's his car. He takes out a key and starts the car. "What happened?"

"I don't know you."

"Well then, in case you missed it: I'm Harry. I'm just a guy, not someone who is gonna rape you. Do you trust me now?" Harry seems trust worthy.

"Fine." I finally give in. "My best friend and I, Marissa, we were eating at Starbucks and then she had to leave. I went out and then he grabbed me and took me behind the bushes." I explain.

"Oh. Anyway, I never got your name."

"Emily." I respond.

He pulls into a driveway. This house is huge.

"Come." He tells me as he steps out of the car. I do what he tells me.

I walk into his house and it's beautiful. It kind of looks like a mansion. It probably is.

"Is this house yours? Like only yours?" I ask him.

"Yeah, my parents are rich and when they moved out thy left me this house." He explains but I don't get why they moved out and not him.

"Why did they move out and not you?"

"You clearly don't know me. I'm not like regular people. They moved out because they couldn't stand me."

"You seem like a nice guy," I tell him.

"I'm not. I'm just doing this because you were about to get raped and the guy could have hurt you or something and I don't wanna be a witness of a rape case. This isn't me. Normally you will find me getting drunk at any bar you could possibly think of and being a total jack ass to everyone. Get that good girl? Why are you even dressed like that?" What did he mean? I'm dressed normal, like I always do. I don't reveal that much. I had on a shirt with sleeves that stopped right above my elbows. Then again it's the middle of summer. And I had on a skirt that stopped right below my knees.

"Like what? I always dress like this." I finally answer.

"Whatever. You look ridiculous." He's insulting me.

"Well, you're very rude. I am leaving now." I say as I start walking towards the door. "It was horrible meeting you. Jerk."

"You too!" He yells as I close the door. What a jerk. He was right, he was a total jack ass. But I'm scared now. I don't want to go home alone. So I turn around and knock on his door. He opens it.

"Can you take me home? I don't want to walk alone." I ask him.

"I thought I was horrible and a jerk."

"You are." I scoff. "Can you just please take me home?"

"Fine," He gives in.

We finally arrive to my house in the ride that seemed like forever.

"Thank you." I say plainly as I get off.

"Wait," he says and I turn around. "That'll be 10 dollars."

"You're a jerk." I scoff. I turn around and open my front door. My mother is sitting down on the couch.

"Where have you been young lady?" She questions.

"I went to Starbucks with Marissa like I told you and then I-I almost got raped as I was walking out." I tell her.

"I told you you shouldn't go." I hate her. I hate her so much.

"You're missing the point. I ALMOST GOT RAPED! Do you not care at all?!" I yell.

"At least you left and you're alive." She responds as she stands up and walks up stairs to her room.

That's is I'm leaving. "NO WONDER DAD LEFT YOU!" I yell at her.

I go to my room and take out my suitcases I knew I was gonna use one day. I start packing my stuff and everything I need. Once I'm done I grab them and leave.

"NOW YOU'RE ALONE!" I scream as I close the door behind me. I open the back door of my car and put the suitcases in. I honestly don't know where I'm going. As I am driving to God knows where I pass by a hotel. Thank god I have been saving for over 7 years because I knew one day I was gonna get sick of my mother and leave. I have 1,000,700 dollars saved. I park my car in the parking lot and get off without my suitcases. I go in to see how much one night costs. $100. Perfect. I paid for a 3 nights. Thankfully food was included in the cost. They give me my room key. I go to my car and get out my suitcases and carry them to my room.

The room is nice. It had one bed and a bathroom. A small kitchen and a desk. It has a lot of space. I set down my stuff and throw myself into the bed. I take out my phone and call Marissa.

"Hey," She answers.

"Thanks for leaving me at Starbucks," I say annoyed.

"My mom called me and said to come home immediately, why what happened?" She asks.

"Well I almost got raped."

"What the hell Em! Are you okay now?" She is practically yelling.

"Yeah, but when I got home I told my mother and you know how she is. She was like 'At least you left and you're alive' and 'I told you you shouldn't go' so I got my stuff and left." I explain to her.

"What?! I swear something is wrong with the lady."

"Tell me about it."

"Anyway where are you staying now?" She asks.

"Hotel." I tell her.

"You could have just stayed with me." She says.

"I already payed for 3 nights."

"When they are over, you're coming here with me." She offers.

"Thanks, I got to go. Talk to you later." And I hang up.

I can't believe I am 20 and I was still living with my mother. Thank god I left. I honestly couldn't stand her. I get out of the room to go get something to eat. When I pass the lobby I see a head with familiar curls. When he turns around its Harry. I walk up to him.

"Why are you here?" Annoyance showing in my voice.

"My house has termites so I am gonna stay here for 3 days starting tomorrow." Great. Now that I got rid of my mother, I have Harry.
