Hayes Grier fanfic: beneath the stars

Chapter 69

Althea's POV:

When the movie was over we got a ride back from the same van to when we arrived at the theaters.

The movie was good in my opinion, it was just having dj by my side that made me feel uncomfortable.

He was a good friend and all.. And that was all I wanted him to be,

Dj walked me back to my dorm, he still held my hand in a tight grip.

When we arrived at my dorm dj faced me,

He leaned forward to me, his lips inches from mine. His hands went in my waist.. But I felt his hands trying to get even lower than That.

"I love you" he said,

I pulled back and pushed him away, "dj.. I don't love you."
His eyes widened and his body got tensed,
"How come?.. Are you sure?.. I think I know how I can make you love me" he started tracing my collar bone with his finger and started tracing my whole body, and his mouth tried to come bear mine.

He was aggressive.

I pushed him back even more,
"DJ! I don't love you because I don't!"
He smirked, "babe, you just need a little convincing" he tried coming near me again but I pushed him back farther.

I felt like we were waking up the entire hotel because of how loud we were arguing in the hallway of my dorm room.

"C'mon.. Maybe we could go inside your dorm and-"
"you're sick!....I DONT LOVE YOU BECAUSE I LOVE HAYES"

And then I felt a burn on my face,

The last thing I saw was a person in the hallway staring at dj and I, but i didn't see who it was, because All I saw was something coming towards me

Dj's hand swept across my face with a loud smack. I felt my face burning and my eyes getting watery.

Dj looked at me with fear and sorry, but deep down, I know he wasn't sorry.

"No, no no, Althea, look I'm sorry, I just-" he cupped my face with his hands, but I pulled away.

"No.. Stay away from me.." And with that i, opened the door to my dorm room and slammed the door shut.

I felt violated, the way he touched me.
I felt so uncomfortable,
I don't think I'll ever look at dj the same ever again,
Actually, I hope I never even see him again.

I lay in bed, holding the side of my face that was burning. I just lay there crying.

15 minutes later, Andrea, Jen, Maria, Mae, and Anna came back in the dorm,

"Althea! What happened!?" They all huddled around me by the bed where I was still holding the side of my face,

I stuttered to reply, the tears and pain made me forget how to talk for a moment.

"D-dj.." I managed to say,

Their faces lightened up with surprise, "someone go get ice!" Andrea yelled,

Mae and Maria went to the main desk of the hotel to ask for ice,
Anna and Jen went to buy me some food because I haven't eaten in a long time, I didn't even eat at the movies either.

Andrea pulled me into a hug,

"Everything will be okay".. She said,

"It'll be okay"
