Chapter Seven - Better Care

Makayla's POV 

I managed to exit the house without having to speak to the boys, who just was my main goal, so good job, May.

Usually I'm not excited to go to school just because of bullies and I don't want to get hit. Today I'm just plain terrified. Has Sam told everyone about the whole thing with, you know, me being raped? Will he carry one like it never happened? Or maybe he'll shove me into a closet Andy do it again, or take me to the warehouse again.

I walked to school, getting there early. Most of the time when I'm early Sam isn't here and the school is unlocked, and I'm glad today is like that. I made my way through the halls, wondering around them until I saw more and more students flood the halls. Soon loud chatter among different friend groups started up, and I sped walked to get to my classroom.

Time skip

It's now after school and I gladly didn't see Sam or Jake, or even Derek today. No Moreno people than usual looked at me funny or whispered something to their friend, so I'm guessing wherever they are they haven't told anyone about what happened.

I was the last out of the building, and as soon as I stepped out onto the grass a hand went over my mouth and an arm around my waist, dragging me behind the school and out of sight from everything.

"Mm, I had so much fun, maybe we should to it again." A too familiar voice said. Sam stepped out from a corner with Derek, so Jake was holding me in place. Derek was holding a black duffle bag.

"You know, I did too, why don't we do it again tonight?" Sam said mentally undressing me while biting his lip. Derek came closer and took out rope, tying my hands and ankles together.

"Please, don't." I managed to choke out, somehow sound leaked through Jake's hand. 

"Oh baby, we have to." Derek Said.

"Wait, isn't her brother back?" Sam asked, sighing, obviously annoyed. "He is. I saw him when I gave this bitch her backpack back."

"Well? Is he?" Jake removed his hand. Sam saw Luke. He must think we're related.

"Y-yes, and he's coming to pick me up, so he should be here in any moment." I lied, trying to sound convincing.

"She's lying."

"And if I'm not?" I questioned, confidence beginning to surge throughout my body.

"Hey, don't get confident. Just because we haven't done something yet doesn't mean that we won't." Jake warned.

"She's right, though. The guy I saw could beat up us both."

"And with his friends, just imagine the possibilities." A slap burned my cheek.

"What'd we say?!"

"May?" Luke came skidding around the corner, with a bored Michael. His interests seemed to peak as he looked up from his phone to see the position I was in. "Let go of her, you di-" Luke didn't even have to finsih his sentence before Jake released me.

I suppose Luke was looking a bit intimidating, with his backwards SnapBack and his YOU COMPLETE MEss tank top showcasing his muscly arms.

"Look man, we aren't looking for trouble." Sam tried to conjure up a lie, but Luke saw right through it. He pushed me behind him and towered over Sam, staring daggers down at him.

"Well you found it anyway. Don't ever come close to May again, or else. Got it? If I hear that you keep harassing her, I will phone the police, and they will arrest you on account of rape, abuse, sexual harassment, and harassment. Understand?" They nodded sheepishly and scurried off, Luke turning back to me and wide eyed Michael.

"That's the guys who did that to you?" Michael asked, pushing on my arm so I would face him.

"Y-yeah. Why?"

"They were Calum's and I friends, until we joined up with Luke, then we lost touch."

"C'mon." Luke commanded, pushing me to the parking lot. "You should've called me. What if they had-"

"Luke, I couldn't exactly get my phone at that moment."

"Still."

How does he manage to take better care of me in a day than my parents and Michael have in the past sixteen years?
