Secrets In The Dark

Bruised

Previously on "Secrets in the Dark":

Your door swings open and a hand is flown in front of you. Whoever it is, they're willing to help you out of the car. You cautiously take the hand and lift yourself out of the car. Once out of the car, you can see the face that matches the voice. He looks familiar and his voice sounds familiar, you've definitely seen him around before.

"Hello..." You whisper, staring up at him.

"Hello..." He whispers back.

"You look oddly familiar..." You whisper, shaking your head.

"Oh, of course! I'm Sam..." He smiles, shaking your hand.

"Sam?" You ask, knowing everything about him seems so familiar.

"I was was dating Taylor. Liam's friend..." He nods.

"Oh, yes! I remember now..." You laugh, nodding your head.

"Kelly! Kelly! Over here!" The photographers scream.

You turn your head to look at them, shielding your face from any flashes. You keep your hand in Sam's as you walk towards the front entrance of the hotel. You remember Sam now. He seemed nice enough. Liam didn't like him though. Although, probably only because you're pretty sure that Liam is in love with Taylor himself.

"Hey Kelly, are you really a slut!?" A photographer screams behind you.

"Hey man! Shut up..." Sam says behind you.

Shut up.

Shut up.

Shut up.

As those words escape Sam's mouth, it all clicks. Those words were the last words that you heard before you passed out. And they were said exactly the way that he just said them. If everything about Sam seemed extremely familiar, it's because everything about Sam was extremely familiar. He was the one. He was the one that raped you.

CURRENT:

You quickly enter the hotel's lobby. Your hand is still in Sam's hand as you continue walking. You want to rip your hand away from his but you can't. You can't let him know that you know. If he knew that you knew, he would probably hurt you...or worse. You can't risk it. You can't risk anything. You just need to get to Niall.

"Niall's been talking a lot about you..." Sam says, keeping his hand locked in yours. The two of you walk towards the elevator, entering it as you approach. Sam clicks a button. It's the number for the floor that Niall is on. You're just lucky that Niall is still here. Some of the boys have already headed home for their break. Niall decided to stay a few days late. As you think about Niall, Sam smiles at you.

Your heart thumps wildly in your chest. You can't do this. You're the worst actress in the world. You breathe in heavily and shoot him a light smile. You can't look at him for too long. If you do, you might throw up. You can't believe that he's the one. Why would he do that? Why would he want to rape you?

"Are you okay? You look a little pale..." Sam whispers, gently touching his finger against the bottom of your chin.

You quickly pull your head away and turn the other way. Abort mission. It's official. You really can't do this. You really can't pretend that you don't know. You don't want him touching you. You decide to rip your hand out of his and place your arms tightly across your chest.

"Whoa, whoa. Did I do something wrong?" He asks as the elevator doors open.

"Leave me alone..." You say, quickly exiting the elevator, heading in the direction of Niall's room.
