Synthetic Love

Visit From Joe

Chapter Twelve

Emily's Point of View

"How did I know I would find you here?" Said Joe, strolling onto the bus like he owned the place.

"I.. I don't know.." I replied stumbling over my words.

He smirked and looked at me.

"Are you alone?" He asked a devilish grin appearing on his face.

"Umm, Ricky and Chris will be back soon, like real soon" I tried to lie, but he saw straight through it.

"Oh?" He asked, obviously playing me. I considered running off the bus, but the chances of running into someone who would help were slim, and I couldn't outrun him for forever.

"So, I was thinking" he stared, "maybe beating you wasn't the right way to go, you could be useful for, other things" he finished while looking me up and down.

"What about Hailey?" I rushed out, knowing his intentions.

"She doesn't have to know" with this he started walking towards me, I backed up out of instinct but I hit the wall. 'Shit' I thought.

He ran up to me now, slamming me farther into the wall. He put one hand around my throat and started to strangle me why trying to take my shirt if with the other.

"Please Joe," I started, "please stop"

"No, isn't this what you wanted?" He asked, "someone to love you?"

And with that he picked me up and threw me on the couch hopping on top of me. He reached for the button on my pants and pulled them off. Then he started on his own pants.

"Stop!"

He hit me.

"You should learn to be a good girl"

And then he continued trying to take off his pants.

I heard a knock at the door, he put his hand over my mouth making me be quiet. I bit his hand and screamed. Zach and Cortney burst through the door just in time to see Joe hit me again.

They run over to us and grab him off of me, all I could do was curl up and cry. When Joe was gone Zach came over and wrapped his arm around me while Cortney went to go get ice for my face. I was still in Zach's arms when Chris and Ricky walked onto the bus.
