BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (A TWISTED VERSION) ONGOING

Chapter 8

KENDAL

Noah never bothered me again and was happy about it, actually I'm lying to myself, I didn't like it, I was the one that said that he should not talk to me but why do I feel so empty, I feel cold and unprotected, when he was with me, I felt protected like no one will ever touch me again but now its different, but I only told him to stay away for his benefit and mine, if he stuck with me, then his fame and popularity will go down the drain, not only that but my bullying will intensify to a whole new level, but for through out today, no one came near me, yes they threw me dirty looks but they didn't come near me, even my sister pretended that I didn't exist not that I'm complaining but its kinda weird.

School has ended for the day and Noah still hasn't approached me, even in the classes we share, he didn't seat next to me or anything, I actually felt pretty lonely, I was the one that pushed him away but I'm the one feeling bad, even when we passed each other in the hallway, he pretended like I didn't exist, well its not my problem, I shouldn't care, I was perfectly fine before without him and I will be fine without him again.

I'm walking home from school with my head bent down, yeah I don't have the best self esteem in the world, I feel like not just my classmates and my family oppress me but everyone else even though I haven't met them before in my life.

I pass by an alley but I didn't get that far because someone pulled me by the waist and into the alley, I tried to scream but the person muffled it with his hands, I thrashed around but the person was way stronger than me, the person slams me against the wall and my head hit it hard from impact, I felt a little disoriented before my vision cleared again, I gasp in shock to see Jack Daniels pinning me up against the wall with a sly smirk on his face, I shouldn't be surprised though because he is Jack so I should expect something like this from him,

"Well lookey here, fancy seeing you here beasty, lover boy didn't follow you here," he says in a low taunting voice, I only look down and not say anything but I receive a slap on the face for that,

"LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU WENCH"

I flinch at his tone and shakily look up at him, tears well up my eyes then spill onto my cheeks, he laughed, he laughed at my discomfort, he laughed at my weakness and he just continued laughing until tears gathered in his,

"So pathetic aren't ya beast, but that ain't what I'm here for, I'm here for something else,"

he says that last part looking me up and down, I shiver in fear and repulsion,

"You know, you aren't as bad as they say, I'm sure if dressed more and took care of yourself, then you would actually be pretty, as they say, never judge a book by its cover and I'm going to be the first person to unveil the cover,"

he then slips his hands inside my shirt, I freeze not knowing what to do, I have been physically, mentally and emotionally abused but never sexually abused, oh please God no, I don't want this, this can't be happening,

his fingers still inside my shirt goes behind me to the hook of my bra, I press my back against the wall to stop him but he just pulled me closer to him and unhooked it, he was slowly pulling it out while placing his face on the crook of my neck, trailing wet kisses down my neck to my jaw, I was silently crying and praying that he won't go through with this, I wish that someone would just enter here and help me out,

"Hey, leave her alone,"

I didn't even know when my eyes had closed but they snapped open at the voice of my saviour, I turn and gasp at who it was,

"It ain't your business bro, just go, beatsy and I were just having some fun and plus she was enjoying it, she was begging me to continue, if you want you can have a go with her when I'm done or we can do it together, you know,"

Jack continues his assault without paying heed to the person, I watched as he just stood there looking at Jack, then he met my eyes, I pleaded with him silently to help me but he just shrugged and walked towards us,

"Alright, I'll join but don't waste all her energy so that she will be strong for me,"

he smirks at me then at Jack, I couldn't believe he was joining Jack, just when I was feeling bad before for pushing him away, I will never forgive him for this, I look at him with disgust clearly written on my face then I turn away,

"Awesome Noah, I knew you were just fooling her, I mean why will you ever hang out with someone like her, I almost thought that you went crazy,"

"Yeah I was crazy, I'm going to be even more crazy for doing this,"

then he punched Jack and started beating him up, I stood there with wide eyes, shock clearly written on my face, I thought he was just fooling me when he actually came here to help me, I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone groan loudly in pain,

"DON'T.YOU.EVER.TOUCH.HER.LIKE.THAT.AGAIN."

He said those words while punching him senseless, Jack just continued groaning in pain, but when he shouted, I knew this had got to stop,

"Noah, leave him alone,"

he didn't stop, he just continued, I shouted at him again but he still didn't listen to me, I started panicking because Jack wasn't making sounds anymore, Oh no,

"NOAH LEAVE HIM ALONE!! Its enough" I say then put my hand on his shoulder, he stopped mid punch then looked at me, his eyes were bloodshot and his knuckle was busted,

"I'm alright Noah, see I'm fine, just leave him alone," I say softly, Noah just looks at him again then at me, he stands up without saying anything, he just turned to me and looked down at me, I gave him a small smile, thats all he needed to pull me into a hug, I immediately hugged him back like it was a second nature and this time I welcomed his unlike Jack's,

"You are okay," he says but his voice was muffled a bit because he buried his head on my shoulders, I just nodded and sighed against him, why would I ever want to give this up, I know now that he genuinely cares for me and it isn't a joke, I can trust him completely now not to hurt me and I hope he doesn't break my trust, God knows that I am not pushing the first person who actually showed concern for me in long time apart from Drew and Mason but right here, right now, Noah has proven far than he was supposed to and I'm grateful for that,

"Thank you so much Noah,"

"You welcome baby doll,"
