The substitute

Chapter 11

I sit on the toilet seat waiting till the banging stops, it doesn't as I am about to open the door I check the mirror, perfect! Some of the eyeliner has smudged onto my face why did I wear makeup? I try putting some water on the smudged eyeliner, but it only makes it worse great.

"Open the damn door before I break it!" Harry threatens why does he have to be here? No why did I say yes to coming here? I unlock the door revealing an angry Harry, his angry face turns confused.

"Zoe?" He questions, I'm guessing he didn't expect me in the bathroom or he is questioning on why I am crying.

I look down on the floor and make my out of the door, I need to get out of this party. When I finally make it out if the bathroom someone grabs my arm, it's Harry.

"What took you so fucking long?" He yells

"Harry let go." I say completely Ignoring his question. I try pulling my arm which makes him tighten his grip on my wrist.

"Where are you going?" Why does he even care? Does he not see me struggling to get away from him? I ignore him and try to pull my arm away from him while staring at the ground.

"I'm talking to you!" He yells startling me maybe I should just tell him so he can stop bothering me.

"Out." I tell him not even looking at him. He still is holding my wrists maybe he wants me to tell him more?

"Out of this party." I tell him and he finally lets go of my wrist.

I begin to walk away from him, I hear him call my name which makes me walk faster. When I finally reach the door I let out a breath of relief, and just a few seconds later panic takes over my body when I hear footsteps behind me.

I turn around expecting Harry when I see a random drunk guy, I try to walk away from him, but he grabs my arm pushing me against the wall. He has one hand resting on the wall and the other on my waist trapping me.

"Hey beautiful." He slurs making me whimper

"Please get off of me." I say shakily while trying to push him away from me.

"No can do sweety." He starts to unzip my dress and I can't help but scream

" get the fuck off of her!" I hear a familiar voice yell it's Harry. Harry grabs the drunk man by the shoulder and pulls him away " o-okay man" He stutters.

Once the stranger heads back into the party I begin to walk.

"No thank you! You could've been ra-"

"Thank you." I say interrupting him

"Where are you going?" He asks again I want to ignore him, but I decide against it.

"Home." I say and begin to walk

"Let me drive you." I don't get it one minute he's extremely mean and rude to me and the other he's offering to drive me home?

"No thanks I can walk." I tell him it's pretty much a block away I don't need a ride.

"Let me drive you." He presses, does he understand the word no. Should I just say yes so he doesn't bother me? Or should I just walk?

"It's only a block I can walk it." I say

"Let me drive you." He's getting annoyed, do I even have a choice with him? He won't stop until I say yes. This is the last time I will be going to these stupid parties.

"Fine." I say and he leads me to his car.

The whole entire drive was silent, I was just staring out the window until I saw my mothers driveway.

"Were you crying?." He asks me, when was I crying? I look at him confused I wasn't crying when the guy almost raped me I was panicking so I screamed.

"In the bathroom." He tells me. Oh no the bathroom, he was just so rude to me and I started to feel emotional.

"Oh." Is all I could say I want to say no, but he will no I am lying, but If I say yes I will sound weak.

"Well." He says impatiently

"Um." I don't know what to say

He nods his head my silence confirming his answer. He unlocks the door making me get out of the door a little to quickly.

When I enter the house I'm relieved to not find my mother I go and change my clothes and remove the makeup from my face, I tie my hair and sit on the couch watching reruns of Full House. I take out my phone and see a text from Nate.

*hi, what's up?*

*lonely, I wish you were here* I really do wish he was here I miss him terribly.

*I wish I was there to*

*how was your flight*

*okay*

*how is it there?*

*hot*

We text for about a few more minutes when Nate tells me he has to go because he wants to go swimming. I feel kind of offended that he would rather choose to go swimming then text his girl... Friend, we could've done a long distance relationship or I could've gone with him, but deep down I know none of those things would've worked out.

As I am watching Full House, my eyes start to get heavy and I fall asleep onto the couch man I had a long day.

I wake up and it's seven I start to panic, I usually have an alarm that wakes me up at five and now I only have an hour to get ready! I quickly put on some jeans, a purple shirt and head out of the door. I can't believe we only have like five days left of school, then I have to spend my whole summer with Roxy yay. I finally make it to Oakville and thankfully I'm not late,

"Zooey! How are you dear?" She asks

Oh you know I went to a party, almost got raped and had a rude boy take me home "good" I decide to say.

"Well that's good can't you believe the school years almost over?" She says I nod my head at how quickly it has gone by.

"Are you prepared for your graduation?" Oh my gosh my graduation! I totally forgot! Another thing to add on to next week what am I going to do?

"Oh.. Ya can't wait." I tell her

"You forgot didn't you?" I don't care on how she knew that I just nod my head and rub my temples in frustration.

"I have so many things happening next week what am I going to do?" Maybe she will know.

"Maybe you can call for a rain check." She says

"I don't know! I'm teaching summer school for Green Hill and I have to go there next week." I'm so stressed out

"I'm sure everything will work out." She tells me I really hope so.
