Love Complications Book 1

Chapter 5

Piper P.O.V

I look out the window as Chris drives me home. My heart was still pounding in my chest. I was nearly raped. Thank god for Zack. I think as I close my eyes. I feel a hand on my leg. I instinctively flinch and turn round to Chris who has one hand on the steering wheel and one on my leg. I relax a little, but tears run down my face. I feel like I have no control over my body.

"Piper you need to talk to us... what the hell happened back there?" I could hear the worry seep from his tone.

"It's okay." I hear from Zara in the back as she places a hand on my shoulder tightening it gently.

I nod in agreement. I grab Chris's hand and lock our fingers together. He gives my hand a tight squeeze. I can't bear to look at him and turn my head towards the window staring into the darkness as he drives me home before I gulp.

" I.." I look out tears rolling down my face as I hesitate looking down at my legs in disgust.

"I.. I " I bite my lip.. "I.. I .. was." I gulp before saying the words and close my eyes, to start again.

"Some..som..." I cough a little as I feel his hand tighten round mine, even though he was meant to be looking ahead to the road I could feel his eyes burning on the back of my neck.

I take another breath, and close my eyes as the tears continue to roll down my face.

"Some..mebody tried.. to eh.. r..." I gasp quietly. I open my eyes and and take another deep breath this time staring into the blackness of the night sky.

"Somebody tried to..to.. to.. ..................... rape me" I say quietly looking down.

Chris takes his hands off mine and smacks the steering handle.

"FUCK!! FUCK!! FUCK!!" He screams in frustration.

I look to see his blue eyes filled with rage and I begin to cry again.

"CHRIS!!" Zara screams at him, as she leans over to hug me. I hug her back awkwardly, as she sits back down and strokes my hair.

"Stop crying Piper." She says in a calming tone.

"It's gonna be fine okay, just tell us what happened.. from the beginning."

So I nod and explain the toilet queue and how I went upstairs to use the bathroom, how a guy pinned me to the wall and then.. as I attempted to leave the door was locked, how I screamed for help over the music. I went onto to tell them both how the guy pulled my legs and got on top of me and slapped me, how he yelled at me and tried to put his dick in me. That's when I hear a thud and open my eyes to see Zack over me, he told me how he knocked the guy out. I explain how he helped me up and took me down to Zara. I had no idea how he managed to come in and save me but I was moments away from loosing my virginity he saved me and he saved my virginity.

Silence then falls in the car.

"Who was it?" Chris asks. "Who was he?" He asks again.

My face turns red and it dawns on me I didn't mention once who it was. I look in the window at Chris's reflection. Can I bring it to say his name. I can't say say it. I don't even want to tell them. My heart begins to ache, I can't tell Chris he'll kill him. Declan and him aren't best friends by any means, they were in different cliques. He was the football captain and Chris was the soccer captain. I can't tell anyone. I can't, this is senior year. What if Chris kills him. I have no idea what he would do. I can't fuck his life up. I bite my bottom lip. What if Declan was so drunk, maybe he had no idea what had happened. Shit what do I do. My head is telling me to tell him who it is but my heart is aching, I want to protect him.
