Alex
The school day went by slow and was overall quite boring. Allison was talking about Austin's party the whole day, and since I didn't really want to go, I just stayed quiet. It was only 7:55, and it only takes me 15 minutes to get ready. Allison wanted to come pick me up around 8:40 so we could get there on time. Apparently Austin lives on the other side of town in one of the nicest homes.
I hopped down the stairs and turned the corner walking into his room. I sit in the chair next to my brothers bed and hold his hand. While we were moving we had a helicopter fly him to the hospital nearest to us and once I had his room set up, my mother picked him up from the hospital and we laid him in his bed. A nurse checks on him at 5pm everyday. I tear up knowing that he's in a coma because of me. I should've kept my mouth shut. But hear I am, holding my brothers almost lifeless hand. The only living part of his hand was the blood moving through it. But no movement. I look up at his pale face and caress his cheek with my hand.
'I am so sorry Adam...I miss you so much, if I wasn't such a coward this wouldn't have happened, I love you Adam. And I promise you, you will soon wake up and you'll have your real name back. We'll all be together again.' I nod to myself and get up realizing I need to get ready for this party.

'You look...cute' Allison says softly as I step into her car.
I roll my eyes saying 'I know, you were probably expecting me to dress in something more party appropriate but I wasn't feeling it today Allison'
'Ohhh fine I guess, but it's still a nice outfit'

We finally arrive at Austin's party and I can't seem to push aside the bad feeling I'm getting in my stomach. It's very unsettling, but I decided to ignore it and try to think it was just because I haven't been to a party in a long time.
I immediately notice how many cars are parked on the street and his lawn. Allison wasn't kidding when she said this was the shit. Allison drags me inside and she's instantly called over by some other people. She looks at me and I give her a nod of approval as to catch up with her later. I look around and decide to give myself a little tour.
I decide to go upstairs and check everything out. As I'm walking down the hall I hear a voice that sends shivers down my spine.
'Well look what we have here, a cute looking slut looking for someone to make her feel great' A creepy 20 year old looking guy says making a disgusted look appear on my face.
'I was just looking around, I think I'm going to leave now' I say quietly and nervously. I go to head for the stairs but he grabs my arm yanking me into him. He grips my arm tightly while grabbing my face rather harshly with his other hand and starts to forcefully kiss me. I stand there not responding and unable to move my feet or defend my self at all. I let my legs buckle and I fall to the ground.
'You stupid bitch!' He kicks me in the stomach.
'You think falling to the ground will help you, well it'll only help me make things happen quicker'
I start to panic realizing I'm not defending myself now, like I should have. I start to look around to see if there is anything I can grab. Then he starts to drag me towards a room.
'NO, NO!! Let me go!!! Please let me go!' I scream while trying to grab onto the floor and attempting to flail my legs. This cannot be happening. Can anyone hear me screaming? The floor starts to burn my legs and he successfully drags me into the room, not shutting the door. He throws me on the bed and I begin to sob as he rips off my shirt and his too. I shut my eyes waiting for it to happen when all of a sudden I hear a low grunt. I slowly open my eyes to see someone punching him. Then I notice it's Austin.
'What the hell is wrong with you?! Hurting an innocent person you dirty bastard! Don't you even touch her again or I swear you'll regret ever stepping foot near my house' He gives him another big hit and the guy quickly gets on his feet and runs before Austin could do more damage.
I sit still, shocked and terrified. Austin began to walk towards me and just that made me flinch and move back. There was a flash of hurt in his eyes, but mainly concern.
'Alex is it, right?' He says slowly. I nod a yes.
'I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to help you and see where you're hurt...please'

The music is still blasting downstairs which makes sense to as why no one heard me, and no one would probably notice anyways as everyone was probably drunk. They also wouldn't care, especially about me. It was nice of Austin to act like he cared though by cleaning my cuts up from being kicked and dragged.
Once he finished I slowly stood up to leave wincing as my whole body hurt. A flash of concern shows in Austin's face.
'Are you ok?'
'Uh yeah...thanks' I say awkwardly.
'I wish I was here sooner, I should've killed that asshole. He had no right to touch you, I'll find him and I'll ki-' Austin says but I cut him off.
'Austin, you don't need to. You beat him up pretty bad and it doesn't look like he's coming back...but you don't have to act like you care anymore, he's gone now and I'm bandaged up. I'll leave and I won't tell anyone about this and you can go back to the party and talk to whatever girl you were talking to' I sigh walking away. I can't believe that guy almost took the remaining dignity I had left, and I can't believe Austin saved me. It's such a shame he was only doing it so the talk of the school wasn't about the new girl getting...well you know what. I wish he did it because he cared for me. But what am I to think that, it's only my second day and he doesn't know me. Even if he did, I wouldn't give him what he would want. So I'm no use to him. I walk down the steps feeling sad and decide to walk home not before texting Allison that I had a ride so she wouldn't worry.
