The Summer Bucket List

Chapter 14

Ella's POV

"Ella?" My brother asks a bit shocked.

"Ya." I reply with a slight headache.

"How are you feeling?" He says walking towards me.

"I have a slight headache, but I'm ok." I tell him.

"What do you remember from last night?"

"Um not much. Everything was kinda jumbled together. It was a new place after all." I explain.

"Do you remember Jordan doing anything?" He asks and I shake my head no. "How about Austin?"

"Since when is Austin in this conversation?" I tell him.

"Ok, fair enough. Just thought I would come see how you're doing." He says and walks out of my room.

"That was weird." I tell myself.

I sit on my bed, lap covered by a green striped blanket. Wait, what?

"Um, Chace can you come here a minute?" I yell for my brother.

"What is it?" He asks noticing the shock on my face.

"Where is this blanket from?" I answer with a question. "Because it is not from this house."

"Well you had a long night last night Ella. You just may not remember us having it." He says trying to take my mind off of last night, which my mind seems to have blurred out.

"Ella," He says sitting on the edge of my bed. "You had a long night. It wasn't exactly how I wanted your first party to go."

"Tell me what the hell happened Chace!" I start raising my voice. "I know that you are my older brother and that you are supposed to protect me, but if something happened to me that I don't remember I kinda want to know."

"Fine," He says giving in. "I think Jordan slipped something into your drink. He almost raped you. And then when we got home Austin kept saying he hurt you. I can't fit the pieces together Ella. Do you remember anything at all?"

Then it all comes back to me, smacking me in the face like a bullet. "I remember." I tell Chace.

"Ella, you need to tell me what happened then." He says sliding closer to me.

"I was hanging out with a couple of Austin's friends, then we played truth or dare, then I asked Lyla where the washroom was." I pause.

"What happened Ella?" My brother asked concerned.

"Austin pinned me up against a wall. He was mad at me for kissing Dean, for a dare." I tell him.

"That asshole! I knew he did something to hurt you. He is going to pay." My brother stands up.

"Chace sit down. I wasn't finished anyways." I say.

"Then continue. I need to know what happened." He demands.

"Well, I went back downstairs, and everyone was getting on me about not drinking. Jordan came and said he would make me something that I like. He made me this fruity drink, and then I left it on the counter then came back to get it-"

"Ella never leave your drink unattended!" He exclaims. "And if you do just get a new one."

"Would you let me talk!?" I yell at Chace getting frustrated by him interrupting me. "As I was saying, I went back to get it and I went back to the living room. I started getting tired so I asked Lyla where a room was, she told me, so I went. I kept stumbling, and Jordan came to my side and helped me walk upstairs." I say feeling the tears coming on. "Then he locked the room, I could barely function. He started taking my clothes off. Chace he almost raped me!" Then I start bawling into his shoulder.

"It's ok." Chace says caressing my head. "At least Austin was decent enough to not trade a night with you for the money he owes Jordan." I tell her. "Hunter is the one who saw Jordan taking you upstairs, and he came got me before anything could happen."

"Wait," I say pulling back. "Were you guys watching me the whole night?"

"Ella we were only trying to protect you." He tells me.

"That didn't answer my question. Were you or were you not watching me?" I ask Chace.

"Ok fine! Yes we were!" He yells me.

"How could you guys do that? Do you not trust me?" I get defensive.

"It's not that I don't trust you, I don't trust other people." He says.

"Chace, I can take care of myself! I'm 15 almost 16!" I scream in his face.

"Well judging by your performance last night no you cannot take care of yourself." He spits at me.

"Get out!" I demand.

"Ella, you know I didn't mean it." He says pleading to me.

"Get out!" I repeat.

He walks out of my room, me feeling like a giant ball of fury, sitting in my bed. I can't believe he used last night as an issue. Ya I screwed up, but I can take care of myself.

Chace's POV

"Well judging by your performance last night no you cannot take care of yourself." I yell in her face.

"Get out!" She demands.

"Ella, you know I didn't mean it." I say, instantly regretting what I just said.

"Get out!" She repeats and I leave before one of us get angrier.

I walk to my room and get my swim shorts on. I go to the linen closet, grab a towel, and head out back. I throw my towel on one of the chairs, and dive into the water.

"Why is Ella crying in her room?" Austin asks walking outside.

"None of your business!" I snap at him. "Not like you care about her safety much."

"What do you mean?" He asks confused.

"What you did to Ella last night." I tell him, not looking in his direction.

"I was pretty hammered last night, man. I don't remember what I did to her. Besides I would never hurt Ella." He says.

"Oh ya?" I challenge him. "That's why you pinned her to the wall, because you were jealous of her kissing Dean."

He looks down as I look over and give him a glare.

"Did I actually do that?" He asks looking up.

"Ya that's what she told me. And thanks for keeping an eye on her. Jordan almost had his way with her." I spit at him, and he walks away upset.

(A/N: So all the truth has came out! These teens just aren't having it today. Ella found a mysterious blanket and found out she was almost raped. Chace lost it on Austin because he hurt her. (Chace has a lot of anger right now) And Austin found out he hurt Ella, and that Ella almost got raped. I wonder how Hunter is feeling right now. Maybe you'll find out next chapter... Any who hope you enjoyed this chapter! Austin certainly did not. Ahahaha! Until next chapter!

TTYL!!!!
