Dangerous

Chapter 7

Demi's POV

This girl has to be my guardian angel, she seems to be everywhere when I'm in need of someone.

I stopped crying and I sat there in the warmth of her lap and arms just staring blankly into the night sky, I think back to the nights events and can't believe what happened, the way Wilmer treated me was horrific and he's scarred me for life, I can't believe he had sex with me, he won and I feel like rubbish.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Serena asked

"I don't know," I said utterly confused

She nodded her hide and silently pulled out a cigarette, she lit it and placed it between her lips inhaling and exhaling. The smell was disgusting and I can't believe she smokes! That's the most unhealthiest habit and it's incredibly dangerous to your health.

"What the hell!" I raised my voice as she smirked

"What?"

"I hate it when people smoke,"

That devious smirk was still playing on her lips as she blew smoke right in my face and laughed as my face scrunched up.

"What a shame," she laughed

I shook my head and groaned, we sat in a comfortable silence but my mind wouldn't accept that, the flashbacks were going through my mind, the way his rough hands held me, the way he hit me, the way he treated me like a plastic toy, it was all spiralling through my head and I didn't even realise that I had started crying again until I felt Serena's arms snake around my waist, holding me into the warmth of her body and rubbing my back to provide some sort of warmth.

"He raped me," I said.

"Guys you can go now I'll see you when I come back," Serena said to her friends.

I watched as their shadows left the football ground and Serena nodded for me to continue.

"We were dating but it's not what I wanted, I never wanted him, I never loved him it was all bullshit," As I was speaking the tears started coming swim again and I couldn't stop them, I was letting all my feelings out to somebody I hardly know yet I feel like I've known her for years.

"He physically abused me when I told him that we could never happen, he threatened to kill my family and I so because I'm stupid I didn't tell anyone and continued the relationship now for four years and I've been waiting for the day to get enough courage to tell someone, the police anyone but it never came and now this happened and I'm just completely done with him and everything,"

I continued to sob but Serena just sat there, knowing better than to say anything and just let me rant my anger and sadness but yet by her silence she provided me with this kind of comfort that right in this moment was unexplainable but I was thankful for it.

"It felt like he took all of me and just ripped it into pieces and he didn't even watch where the pieces would land. He just took my pride, my vulnerability and my respect without a care,"

"But through all of this you'll learn something about yourself, you'll learn that you're strong and independent and that no matter how hard they destroy you, you can conquer anyone," Serena surprisingly said

I looked at her and she looked so free and careless yet so intriguing and lost.

"I'm so scared now of what he's going to do,"

"Do you think he'll be back?" she asked

"I know he'll be back and I'm scared of what he's going to do because I know after all this he's not going to be playing nice anymore,"

"Why don't you just leave him and tell someone?"

"It's not that easy Serena, he said he would kill my family,"

"Nothing that's worthwhile is ever easy," she said

"This is my family at risk," I argued

"I know that and you would do anything in your grasp to protect them,"

"So what should I do?" I questioned confused as to what she is saying

"A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on it's own wings. Always believe in yourself and the decisions you make and most importantly listen your heart, nobody else,"

I laid back into her chest and thought about what Serena said, Wilmer said, this whole situation. I know what I want to do and my heart knows too, but can I do it and keep everyone safe? That I don't know but I have to believe and trust myself that what I'm doing is right.

"Let's take you back to your place and get you fixed up," Serena said carefully lifting me bridal style in her skinny yet strong arms

I gave her directions back to my apartment and we went back in a comfortable silence, I handed her the keys and once we were in my apartment she took me to my bed and it was exactly the way he had left it, unfixed and dirty, I cringed as it played back in my head again and Serena noticed as she moved me to the lounge.

"I'll be back,"

She walked away into my bedroom and I had no clue as to what she was doing, I tried to get up but the pain was too strong for me to handle.

Moments later she walked back in with clothes, a towel and the first aid kit in her hands.

"Do you mind if I clean you up?" she asked

I shook my head and she started carefully and delicately dabbing the warm, wet towel over my dirty, naked body. She cleaned up all the blood and dirt that was on me and next bandaged me up where I needed to be and dressed me up in my warm pyjamas, covered me with a blanket and put the tv on.

"I also changed your bed sheets for you,"

"Thankyou so much, I owe you my life for tonight you really don't understand how grateful I am and always will be,"

"You owe me nothing and I'm glad I could help you,"

She started walking for the door when I tried to stop her.

"Are you leaving?"

"I have to head back home,"

"Okay," I sadly said

"Here's my number and my address if you need me don't hesitate to call me or come over," she said handing me a piece of paper

"Thankyou," I smiled

"If you ever need me you know where to find me no matter when it is," she said as she closed the door after her

I looked around and instantly I felt scared, I felt alone and helpless. I brought my knees into my chest and let the tears come flooding out again for like the hundredth time tonight and I was sure that I would run out of tears soon.

The flashbacks kept running through my mind and I felt so scared to be left alone, what if he comes back now? What if he's already hurt my family or he's going to? What if he's on his way to me right now?

I ran to the door and locked it, I ran through the whole apartment making sure everything was locked up tightly, my blinds and curtains were all closed and nobody could have any access in here.

As I was walking back into the living room I passed a mirror and looked at myself, I looked at my busted lip and black eye and let my hand trace all over my body. I look and all I can see is his hands all over my body and touching me harshly with no love and care for me, I see me as a helpless, ugly wreck that can't even stand up for herself or her family and that let's everyone walk all over her, I see a failure..
