The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I wasn't in my bed. I rubbed my eyes and looked around the room. This was Rowan's bedroom not mine. I moved to snuggle up against Rowan hoping to fall back asleep. As I moved closer I smelt cologne that wasn't Rowan's. I remembered that cologne I spent so many weeks avoiding it.
Bradley's cologne.
I tried to get out of the bed wanting to get away from him, but I couldn't move.
Why can't I move?! I started to panic.
With all the thrashing around I was doing it woke the guy beside me and I was finally able to see the face. I was right when I seen Bradley's blonde hair.
"Where are you going baby?" He asked tighten his arm around my waist. That's why I wasn't able to move. "Didn't you enjoy it?" He whispered as his other hand sneaked its way up my leg.
"Get off of me!" I screamed trying to pry myself out of his grasp. When I was unsuccessful tears ran down my face and I screamed for Rowan. He had to be around somewhere, this was his house.
No, I thought. I wasn't going to take this lying down I had to get up and fight. I needed to just get to the door and I would be free from him.
I took my fist and punched Bradley as hard as I could. It took him by surprise and I was able to slip free and run to the door.
"Rowan!" I screamed as I twisted the knob, but the door didn't open, it was locked from the outside.
I forced all my weight on the door trying anything to get it open. But there was no way the door was moving. I pounded on it yelling and screaming. Maybe if I hit it hard enough someone would hear.
"Help! Someone please!" My voice was hoarse from yelling for help that would never come.
He was going to do it again but this time I was going to remember everything, the pain, his face as he was on top of me taking what was left of myself.
Bradley was getting out of the bed and started walking towards me. "No! I screamed. "Get away from me!" I ran from the door to the window in the corner of the room.
"Where you running? You can't escape me Lennon." He smiled and took a step closer. He enjoyed seeing the pain and panic just one step closer caused me.
"Rowan!" I screamed again. Please Rowan hear me.
No one came to my rescue.
"Your precious Rowan won't be saving you." Just his voice sent violet shakes through my body.
"I don't need someone to save me!" I flung open the window and jumped out not caring if I lived or died as long as I was away from him. I was going to save myself.
"Lennon!" I felt someone shake me and I half expected that I was going to wake up in a hospital bed after jumping out of a two story house. I opened my eyes and was surprised to see that I was back in Rowan's bedroom with him instead of Bradley towering over me.
