Joaquin

Chapter 7

    This chapter is going to have a rape scene in it but only for a small amount of it.  I'll warn you when to stop and when to start reading if you dont want to read it.

    When I got to the party there was a ton of people already here.  My phone dinged and I looked at Joaquins text. "You need a ride or directions?" he asked. Nope already here I replied. I turned my phone off and headed inside.  The usual Jingle Jangle was going around. I have never had any of that stuff but I heard it was powerful.  I headed over to where all the drinks were I saw the beer and I said screw it and I got can and took a big sip. "rough day?" somebody behind me asked.  

I turned around and saw Abel. "something like that." he smiled at me well im glad you could make it." he says to me I was about to say something else when I felt somebody touch the lower part of my back.  I turned my head and saw that it was Joaquin " glad you could make it he says to me. how did you know this place was here?" I asked but before I could answer Abel did "Oh you don't know? this used to be mine and Avas secret make out place" he said with a smile knowing how bad it would make this.  

Fuck. I looked at Joaquin and he has a surprised expression " That's why you didn't need directions. Because  you have been here plenty of times." he says and removes his hand from my back and walks away. "Joaquin wait" I yell but he's already too far.  I look at Abel and he is just smiling at the mess he has made.  "Thanks a lot Jackass" i throw my beer at him and leave to go fine Joaquin.  I look all around but couldn't find him.  Ok but if im being completely honest I really don't see how he can be this mad.  I mean yeah i'm sure it took him off guard when Abel told him instead of me but it happened a long time ago and you can't tell me he hasn't been with anybody before me. 

I finally gave up on trying to find him and decided to have some fun.  I mean I can't go home might as well party.  I went to go get another beer from the ice chest and started dancing.

When I finished my beer I was about to go get another one when Abel walked in front of me.  I tried to talk around him but he handed me a beer.  " Look i'm sorry about what I said to Joaquin. will you please accept this apology gift?" he says with a smile.  I was hesitant to take it but I decided what the hell.  I look the drink and took a big gulp as I walked passed him and started dancing again.  About thirty minutes into dancing I started feeling really weird.  Like I couldn't stay balanced and everything was going in slow motion.  I didn't think I drank that much.

I could tell I was about to fall but somebody wrapped their arms around my waist and pulled me back up.  I couldn't tell who it was but they were walking me out towards the parking lot.  I was stumbling the whole way there the only way I wasn't falling because who ever it was had a tight grip on my waste.   The person who was with me opened up the back seat of a car and carefully put me inside.  I automatically laid down and went to sleep.  

Joaquins POV

I was out in the parking lot having a cigarette trying to calm down from what Abel told me but the more I thought about it the more ridiculous I felt for getting mad at her.  I mean it's perfectly fine that she had a boyfriend before me.  And sure I would have liked to have known before I went to the party but it was her past and she could have told me if she wanted to. I dropped the cigarette by me feet and stepped on it to completely put It out.  I went back inside to apologize to Ava.  I looked all through out the first floor and the back yard and didn't find anything.  I went to the second floor and made my way through where everybody was dancing to the music and I still couldn't find her.  

I saw Meredith, one of Avas friends from the bar and asked if she had seen her and she told me no.  I was about to leave when Jack stopped me.  " hey are you looking for Ava?" he asked. He must have over heard my conversation when I was talking to Meredith.  "Yeah you know where she is?" I yelled trying to be louder than the music.  "I saw her dancing a little bit ago and she looked pretty drunk but I saw Abel take her to one of the cars." He told me.  

A wave of panic went over me.  "Jack what are the chances that he's just taking her home?" I asked him and you could start to see the panic in his eyes too. "Oh shit!"    he yelled the nhe finally connected the dots.  "Do you know where he lives?" I yelled at him.  He nodded his head yes and started running towards the parking lot and im close behind him.  I follow him to his car and he hands me the keys saying that he has had too much to drink to be driving.  I grabbed the keys and started the engine and peeled out of the parking lot. "take a left at the stop sign." Jack said and I did what I was told. "I should have realized when I saw them walk out together what Abel had planned.  He has always wanted to get back together with Ava I just never thought he would do something like this." he said beating himself up. "You couldn't have known that he would be capable of this.  And besides we don't even know for sure he just might be taking her home or something" I say that last part more for me than for him.

Avas POV. {stop}

 The next thing remember was that somebody was carrying me bridal style into what looked like a trailer.  I looked up the person who was carrying me and even though my sight was blurred it was definitely Abel.  I tried to say something but I didn't even have enough strength to say it.  He opened up the door and laid me on the bed.  I could barely open my eyes and all I could see was him getting undressed but I couldn't comprehend what he was doing.  I tried to move but it felt like my body was being weighed down. He started unbuckling my belt and talking my jeans off.

Joaquins POV

"That one! That's his trailer." Jack yells I slammed on the breaks and ran towards the house and opened up the door.  Abel must have saw us coming because as soon as I ran in Abel was there and punched me in the face.  I stumbled but didn't fall I was about to go after him until Jack ran in and tackled him.  I ran to the bedroom and found Ava laying on the bed with nothing but a bra on "No" I said barely above a whisper because thats all I could get out.  I immediately covered her up with a blanket that was beside the bed.  I heard Jack come up behind me "holy shit" was all he could say. 

 "Where's Abel?"  I ask fuming. "Bleeding out on the kitchen floor." he said still looking at Ava.  "Make sure he doesn't leave." I say looking at Jack but he was still looking at Ava "Hey!"  I say snapping my fingers in front of Jack and he snapped out of the trance he was in and looked at me and quickly nodded his head. "Got it I won't let him leave."  She wasn't asleep but she was out of it.  There is no way that she is only drunk.  He had to have given her something.  I quickly shook the thought out of my head.  That is the least of my worries right now.  Jack grabbed her clothes and helped me carefully picking her up and I carried her bridal style into his car.

{Start}

  Jack opened up the car door while I put her in the passenger seat and buckled her.  Jack threw her clothes in the back.  "I'll call FP. he will know what to do." Jack nodded his head and went back inside while I went into the drivers side door and called FP.  It took him a couple rings but he picked up. "Do you have any idea what fucking time it is?" FP asked as soon as he picks up. It took me a second to respond to him becuase I didn't want to tell him the news

 "It's Ava. some-somethings happened." I said in a shaky voice " Is she dead?" Fp asked "No no"  I replied quickly "we were at the party and then she was gone and-and she got raped." Fp took a deep breathe trying to composer "Bring her to my place, Joaquin" I nod my head but wasn't able to get any words out.  I hung up the phone and gunned it to FPs house.  I look over at Ava and she was moving.  I think whatever Abel gave her was starting to wear off.

When I finally made it to Fps place I immediately got out of the car and went to the passengers side and opened up the door.  I heard his front door open and I looked over and he was walking towards me.  " Ill get her, go open the front door." I nodded my head and got out of the way.  Fp unbuckled her and picked her up bridal style. I opened the front door open while he came in and laid her on the bed.  He immediately left and went into his room.  I went over to her and sat on the coffee table and moved her hair out of her face. " i'm so sorry" I said barely above a whisper.
