el:
no! this isn't how it's supposed to be. if i'm about to get raped, i have to know that i did something about it. i start to scream once again, tears flooding down my face. i open my eyes and his boxers are all the way off, he gets a hold of my thighs, drags me towards him, and  tries pulling down my underwear. i try stopping him, but he's too aggressive. "HELP!" i scream.

suddenly, i hear a noise coming from his living room. i hear zion's voice, "EL!"

"HELP!" i scream.

before he got to take my underwear off, all the boys come rushing in, into the scene. nathan looks up to see all of them. i look at them with so much despair. austin comes rushing towards me, pushing nathan off of me and hugging me tightly. "it's okay, you're gonna be okay, we're here," austin says, rubbing my back. i look up at the other boys with my tear filled eyes, all their eyes widen trying to process what they're witnessing. i can see the rage in all of their eyes.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY FUCKING SISTER?" edwin screams. he throws the first punch at nathan's face.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU ABOUT TOUCHING MY GIRLFRIEND? YOU'RE DISGUSTING, I'M HER BOYFRIEND AND WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT SHIT!" zion screams.

nick and brandon just go straight to fighting, austin gets up to help. nathan is actually fighting back but there's no way he's going to win. zion rushes towards me and puts his hoodie on me, covering my body. i continue crying, replaying what was going to happen in my head, if they didn't come. he carries me to the car, locking it to make sure i'm secure. from the window he says, "babe, i'm so sorry that this happened to you. don't worry we're gonna make him pay. i love you, sit tight." i can't say anything back, in an instant he rushes back inside nathan's house.

about five minutes have passed and the boys haven't come out yet. i know nathan just tried raping me but i don't want him dead. i unlock the car doors and limp back inside the house, into nathan's room. i look to the side where his table is located and my phone is there, i quickly snatch it. i look up to see nathan on his bed, this time with his boxers on. all of them have some form of mark on their body, they actually put up a fight.

"i'm sorry, i'm sorry," nathan says, begging them to stop.

"HE-Y!" i yell.

"el, what are you doing here?" nick asks.

"i'm making sure you don't kill the guy."

"why would you care? he attempted to rape you and it was so close if we hadn't come," brandon says.

"you guys are going to pay a consequence if you do end up killing him, it's going to put a bad name on PRETTYMUCH."

"but he tri-" i cut zion off, "he tried, he didn't succeed. you guys are pretty fucking famous, don't ruin it."

leo, one of his friend's walks into the room, carrying a bunch of beer bottles, "bro, did you get it in he-" he quickly realizes that nathan's on the bed, with multiple wounds and random people are in the room. he tries running, but brandon gets a hold of him. "bro, did you get it in her" starts to replay in my mind. him trying to rape me was a plan, it has to be.

"was this planned?" i ask leo.

"maybe," he hesitates.

"NATHAN! WAS THIS PLANNED?" i demanded.

"ye-s,"

"HOW?" edwin rages.

"don't kill me?" nathan asks.

"no, we aren't that crazy, but if you don't spill the truth then we'd be glad," zion states.

"el, injuring your ankle was intentional. i made that happen, i know my way around soccer, i know how people injure their ankles. i knew you were going to be gone for a week and i knew dr. ross was going to give that much work. you were supposed to take the work home, but i convinced dr. ross to keep all the work you needed to catch up on to tutor you and he agreed. i knew you wouldn't be fully healed by the time you had to have all your work finished so i took advantage of that. i always wanted to have a taste of you, i knew you wouldn't let me so i had to all that," nathan says, like it means nothing.

my heart shatters on the floor, tears start to come out my eyes, once again. zion sprints to me and embraces me as he puts his chin on my head rubbing my back in circle motions.

"you're a fucking animal!" nick screams.

"OH HELL NO! you have to pay for this shit," austin states, he continues to dial the police on his phone.

"you better admit to all this shit in prison you lunatic!" brandon yells.

"NO! i'm not admitting to anything. you guys heard all of it, the authorities aren't. yes, i might go to jail, but i'm not going to prison you're a group of crazy motherfuckers. fun fact, my parents are lawyers, some of the best in la, there's no way you're gonna have better lawyers than them," nathan states.

"well, fun fact! we're actually a boyband that's really close to hitting top notch fame. our names as you know them as aren't actually that. mine's is brandon, his is zion, his is austin, his is nick, and his is edwin. not to far off as what you know us as, but yea. our boss is simon cowell so shut the fuck up," brandon snaps.

a couple moments later, two police officers come storming in the room.

"what happened here?" one police officer asks.

"he tried raping her," austin says, pointing at nathan.

"is that true?" the other police officer asks.

"no," nathan states.

"then explain why you're almost naked, and why the girl over there is crying," the police officer states.

"um- uhh-" nathan hesitates.

"exactly. so, you're going to be taken in." the police officer proceeds to say nathan's miranda rights and tells the rest of us to follow them to the police station.
