Love Doesn't Really Exist... Right?

Shopping

Jade's P.O.V.

"Sorry," I said after the boy, Tristan, had turned back to me. I then bolted in the opposite direction. I can't believe I've been in the Mall for ten minutes and I've already humiliated myself.

I kept walking and finally found Forever 21, I know I'm only 14 but you'd think I was older by my features. My bust is bigger than any other girl my age that I've ever met, my ass is huge, and my facial structure made me look older. I was often mistaken as between the ages of 16 and 21.

I went into the store and looked around. I finally found a section with shirts. I couldn't find any that I like that were long sleeved. I looked at the dresses and couldn't find anything there either. Suddenly, an employee, who looked to be in his early twenties, came up behind me.

"Hey, gorgeous. Can I help you with something," he asked as if nothing he said was abnormal.

"No thanks, I think I'm just gonna try this on," I said holding up a dress.

"I'll get you a changing room," he said with a glint in his eye that I tried to ignore.

I followed him to the fitting rooms and he unlocked a door for me, then he looked around. I didn't know what he was doing so as soon as the door was unlocked I entered and closed it. I didn't hear him walk away and as soon as my shirt and shorts hit the floor, the door flew open. The employee barged in and dropped the key on the ground. He pinned me against the wall and I tried to get to my clothes. He noticed and kicked them out of the stall. I started to scream and cry as he held me there.

"Hey gorgeous," he said with lust clear on his face,"no one else was in the store so I figured I'd help you out," he said trying to be seductive.

His eyes traveled down to my almost fully exposed body. I thought I heard someone so I screamed again and heard footsteps and then nothing. I was so scared as he started to kiss my neck. I continued to scream and cry, continuing to get louder every time.

Tristan's P.O.V.

I was at the food court with Shane and Will, thinking about the girl. Suddenly my phone rang and when I looked down I saw that it was my sister. She had wanted to go shopping and Shane had to drive so I had gone to hang out with him. Will obviously went because they were dating, she decided to shop alone though.

As soon as I answered, she was screaming hysterically at me.

"You need to come here now! She's in trouble! I heard her screams and sobs! You need to come here," she wailed.

I didn't know what was going on but I'd help my big sister no matter what. "Where are you," I asked trying to stay calm.

"Forever 21," was her simple answer before I assured her that we were on our way. I grabbed the guys and we bolted towards the store.

I saw my sister at the entrance and she grabbed my arm and pulled me to the back. I saw no one. There were no customers and no workers.

"The fitting rooms," she sobbed as Will tried to comfort her. I raced back there and Shane stayed, saying he'd get there soon. I heard sobs as soon as I got there.

I ran to the stall and slammed my fist on the door but it was locked. I heard the girl call for help before I heard a slap and a guy say to shut up. I was infuriated.

I looked around and noticed a key on the ground. I picked the key up and quickly inserted it into the lock just as Shane came around the corner.

I threw the door open and was going into a fit of rage at the sight. I saw an employee with a girl pinned to the wall. He was trying to remove her undergarments as she struggled against him. I grabbed the guy by the back of his shirt and threw him to the ground outside of the stall. Shane gave me a "I'll take care of him" look so I turned around and was even more shocked and angry than I was before.

I saw the girl from before looking up at me, her eyes were full of tears and she was still sobbing. Slowly, she slid down the wall and curled into a ball. I leant down and looked at her. I put my hand under her chin and lifted her head. I helped her to stand and was shocked and furious at the same time.

I looked at her and saw that she was is nothing but a lacy black bra and matching panties. I then noticed the bruises. Her hips and arms were covered in fresh marks from where he had grabbed her. She had a bright red handprint on her face. She looked at me and then looked down.

"I'm sorry," she said.

"For what," I asked confused.

"Because first I ran into you and now I'm causing you trouble again."

I looked at her shocked. I then advanced and put my hand back under her chin. I made her look at me then said "you have nothing to be sorry for, I just wish I had gotten here sooner."

I then embraced her. She stiffened and then started to cry. I pulled back, thinking I had done something wrong.

"Thank you," she said before wrapping her arms around me and pulling me close to her. I instantly wrapped my arms around her. We stayed there until I heard a throat clear. I turned to see Shane.

"I'm gonna call the police, are you ok with that," he asked trying not to focus on her almost naked body. She hid behind me so he couldn't see her and nodded. I grabbed her clothes and gave them back to her. I helped her to get dressed because she was sore from the pain he had inflicted. I knew I had to protect her as I looked into her eyes. I just needed her to let me.
