Adriel's POV

Saying bye to my parents was another emotional thing for me. Yesterday when Jayden got hold of me i felt ashamed i couldn't tell anyone about this. I walked to the door and rang the doorbell at Zach's Auntie is Mansion.

 "Hi...Adriel wanna come in". I walked into the house and it was beautiful i loved every bit of it, "Hey... i love ur house". "Thx make yourself at home ". 

The panic alarm erupts in my brain "Zach.... i thought i was staying with ur Auntie.... where is she?", "She's overseas with my uncle....it just the 'two' of us". My heart was melting "Oh". "Is that a problem?...u can go to Tiff if u feel uncomfortable", "Zae don't be silly", "U gave me a new nickname now ?... ok Drae". "Don't be crazy".

 It was getting late and i decided to just sleep on the couch when me and Zae were watching Netflix.

Zach's POV

"Hey Adriel wake up". I try poking her but its not working

"No Jayden, stop i told u i don't want this". "Adriel, what r u saying". 

She gets up confused "What did i say Zae?". 

I mimic her "No Jayden, stop i told u i don't want this". I touch her hand and she acts dumb "I was thinking out loud... its this u know prince charming in my dream". 

I look at her disappointed in her lying to me. "Drae .... u cant tell prince charming to stop touching u". 

She starts to tear up and i see a mark on her thigh thats she cant stop looking at "Zae its nothing, i cant tell u........i don't know how to tell u about this". I lift her chin and look at her "Adriel.... i just want the truth, Please let me in". I give her a worried look and she walks up to her room 

Adriel's POV

I was lost. should i tell him that Jayden did this..... i need to he's my best-friend , i have to trust him. Zach comes up to follow me and i cry on the bed. 

"Adriel... whats wrong?". I rub my scar from the harassment that caused this scar when i was 10. "Adriel , talk to me, let me in ......please".

He looks at me and i shiver in fear of what he might do, think or say when i tell him. He whispers "Please Adriel". I take a deep breath and he look at me like he's reading something in me.

"When i was 10 after i left the school i went to with u.......... My bff and i were walking to the park and she decided to go home so i left too. I was walking and i didn't know that someone was following me. I got to my house and as soon as i turned my back Jayden put his arm over my mouth and pushed me in. I was screaming but no one heard me, Nathaniel was too busy on his headphones to hear me and my Mum and Dad had fights that time so they couldn't hear me either. He pulled me into the living room and took an advantage of me ......... He, raped, me. I was trying to fight back but he pulled my skirt down and his zip grazed my skin. My Mum went to lock the door and as soon as she did that she caught Jayden ,he tried to escape but my Dad wouldn't let him do that. Its all my fault.....it wasn't strong enough to fight back"

"Adriel its not ur fault----"

"I let him do it and i will never forgive myself for what happened. I was in pain-my whole body was. My parents started to cry. My whole body was red even my neck and chest. On that day my parents promised each other that they would never seriously fight again. Nathaniel asked me to forgive him and i did. I ended up not going to school for weeks so i was homeschooled."

Zach's POV

Hearing her story was so painful. "Adriel....u were 10. It wasn't ur fault "

"Zae u don't need to defend me. I think about this everyday"

I remember the janitors closet incident but i didn't know if i should ask her. Adriel and i were just friends but to be honest i wanted to be with her and i never want to loose her. 

I give here a long hug as she cries and i slowly start to cry. Silence fills the room "Adriel.... do u wanna tell me what happened yesterday?.

"I don't know Zach. I can't tell u". She shakes and stares non-stop at the scar she had on her thick thighs. I needed to tell her i know and saw what was going to "I saw it anyway. I was the one who said hello. I was going to help u but i wasnt sure of what to do".

 Her eyes widen and she shakes more "Zach......i don't know how to tell my parents.I don't know what to do".I lift her up place her on the bed and cover her. "Adriel i would love it if u told them the truth. They love u".

When Adriel told me how she felt i wanted to let her in too. Maybe tell her about my life a little. "Do u mind if i join?". She smiles and this time i can tell its real "No.... i don't mind".

***************************

I wake up but Adriel is not in sight and i was worried that she might have left. Getting out of bed was not fun for me but a good smell catches my attention. Only to find Drae cooking somethin good. "Morning". She turns around and replies the same.

I start cooking eggs and Drae pushes me away "Zae, u r not burning down ur aunties kitchen". I chuckle and she starts smiling. 

I got so lost in the way she looked and she was beautiful. I wanted to be with her but at the same time it was just too soon even though it had been 2 weeks after Nat and i broke up.

"Adriel". she smiles and i look at her

"What Zach?"

"U look beautiful". I start to feel weak when i tell her this and she smiles again

"I know Zach". Her eyes get in contact with mine we get closer and closer. I couldn't resist her melanin glowing skin. Her lips were so plump and full ,who wouldn't like that. "Um ...imma take a shower". She walks away swaying her hips as she leaves. I liked Adriel but i couldn't put what i was gonna tell her into words
