Cardio Conference- Flac

Its only me

Phew, I'm glad that's over. I almost ran back to my seat, nearly falling over Fletch in the process.
"You did great! I got you another drink, thought you'd need it." I sighed before taking a sip.
"Thanks. I'm just going to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back."
I headed round the corner not really knowing where I was going. Just as I found the right way someone grabbed hold of my wrist dragging me into a store cupboard.
"Help!" I yelled but it was muffled by a large hand covering my mouth.
"I finally get you to myself after this time." I knew that voice, I'd heard it earlier. I could feel his warm breath on my ear, James Clarke.
I saw him pull off his tie with one hand, the other still over my mouth to silence me. He then used it to tie around my mouth so he had more control.
"Get. Off. Of. Me!" I struggled to say through fighting breath, as he pulled up my dress running his hands up my thigh to the waistline of my underwear.
"Come on Jac. I know you want this just as much as I do."
As he was distracted pulling off my underwear I managed to knee him in the balls, getting to my feet and running for the door. I was too slow. He grabbed me, pushing me forcefully against the door.
"Bitch!" He spat, throwing me back to the floor.
I can't believe this is happening. What do I do? How do I get help? Questioning to myself but coming up with no answers. All I could do was make as much noise as possible, hopefully someone will find me. He stood in front of me unfastening his belt, a deathly glare in his eye. I was frozen in fear, I couldn't move.
"Please don't do this." I muttered the tie slipping slightly.
Suddenly the door opened swiftly. Someone found me. Next thing I knew James had been punched to the ground and Fletch had his arms around me pulling the tie off my face. I just curled into a ball and sobbed into his chest.
"Get me out of here." I cried unable to contain my fear as other came to the commotion, Fletch calling security over.
"Don't worry about them, come with me. I'll keep you safe I promise."
We made it back to our room and Fletch just held me while sat on one of the beds.
"What did he do to you!" Fletch asked stroking the top of my hair softly.
"He didn't. Did he?" He questioned, sounding scared for the answer.
"No I managed to fight him off until you came." The uncontrollably crying was back.
"Shhhh, it's okay I'm here. You're safe now." Placing a gentle reassuring kiss to my forehead. I laid crying in his arms until I eventually fell asleep. I knew I'd have to make a statement but that can wait.
I woke a while later to find a blanket draped over me and the room empty. I rubbed my eyes and hear someone at the door.
"It's only me. James has been arrested, they just need a statement from you and that bastard won't work again." I just looked at him and it was like he knew how afraid I was. "What if nobody believes me." It came at as almost a whisper.
"Jac. I saw what he was about to do. Just look at your bruises." I hadn't noticed them until now. I look like I'd been 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. I'd not even realised he'd split open my cheek with the force her threw me on the floor.
"Let me clean you up and I'll call them up to do your statement. Get it over with." A smile was all it took. Fletch made me feel at home. I felt safe once again.
