Somewhere Only We Know - (Larry x Sally Face) {COMPLETE}

~Chapter 33~

Larry slowly wrapped his arms around Sally's back as he wept into his chest. Sally pulled away from the hug, "don't listen to him, Larry, h-he tried to rape me! And he keeps trying while we are at school, you can even ask Ashley! She was the one who covered up the hickeys!" Sally pointed his finger towards Travis out of pure anger.

"He's lying!" Travis stood up and took a step towards him, Larry wrapped his arms around Sally defensively.

Larry blinked, trying to process the things that were happening around him, he moved Sally away and stomped towards Travis, "Is Sally telling the truth! Did you try to assault him!" Larry yelled.

"He's lying! He has no proof!" Travis stepped away from him, Larry was a lot taller than him, and he didn't enjoy messing with him.

Larry pushed him aggressively and turned around to Sally, who pulled down the top of his shirt, a huge purple bruise could be seen on his collar bone, "there's the proof," he said quietly, he felt so dirty and was disappointed in himself, for some reason. Sally grabbed his mask and quickly pulled it over his face.

"You sick bastard!" Larry yelled louder this time, attracting attention, a few teenagers and gathered around the door, the boy Larry spoke to earlier was trying to comfort Sally, who had started to cry again.

"Can we calm do-" Neil entered the room, and stopped when he saw who was involved.

Larry pushed Travis again, this time, he fell onto the messy bed.

"What the hell is going on?" Neil said a little louder this time.

Ashley pushed through the crowd and saw what was happening, and guessed what had happened when she saw Larry pushing Travis around like he was a rag doll.

"Stand up!" Larry grabbed Travis by the neck on his hoodie and held it tightly, "this little bastard tried to rape my boyfriend!"

Larry kicked his groin and he dropped to the ground, whimpered in pain, the entire crowd watched in utter shock, a lot of them tried to interfere, but Neil kept them all under control.

Ashley pushed Neil out of her way and grabbed Larry's shoulder, rubbing her thumb against it comfortingly, "we'll get this asshole arrested, just go to Sally, he needs you," she smiled at him genuinely.

"Ash, why didn't you tell me," Larry said, tears welling up in his eyes, "you knew everything!"

"It wasn't my place, you have to understand that," Ashley said quietly as she watched him walk away to Sally.

She stood beside Travis and looked down on him.

"Are you here to ridicule me?" Travis looked up at her.

"Get up," she said sternly.

Travis followed her order and climbed to his feet, once he had fully recovered, Ashley kicked him in the groin as well, sending him straight back to the ground, "yeah, he's defiantly going to be infertile after that," she muttered as she watched him wriggle in pain on the ground.

Ashley walked over to her friends and commanded Todd to call the police.

"You two should go home, get yourselves cleaned up, okay?" Neil patted Sally's head.

Larry thanked the boy who was comforting Sally and brought Sally closer to him, pulling him into a hug.

..

Sally curled up in Larry's bed, neither of them had said much, the police had been informed of Travis' actions, and it turned out that it wasn't the first time he'd done something like that to someone, so he had been arrested and was out of their lives forever.

"Sally, why didn't you tell me?" Larry said sadly.

"I couldn't, I didn't want you to hate me," Sally buried his head into Larry's pillow.

"I would never hate you," Larry shook his head.

"Please, may I shower?" Sally mumbled, "I feel so... gross..."

Larry nodded weakly and Sally went to the bathroom.

He came out about an hour later, a towel wrapped around his waist, his wet hair hanging over his shoulders, he held his mask in his hand.

"I didn't get time to thank you, for helping me."

"I would've helped anyone in that situation, he's a disgusting person."

Sally smiled at Larry, he didn't know what he'd do without him, he'd felt like he'd known him forever.

"Can I wear your hoodie?"

"Sure, you can get one out of the cupboard," Larry pointed to where his cupboard was.

"No, can I have your hoodie," Sally pointed to the hoodie he was wearing.

"Oh, sure," Larry tried to hide his blushing as he took it off and passed it to him.

"Thanks," Sally pulled it over his head and it reached to just above his knees, he put a pair of Larry's sweatpants on and climbed into bed beside him.

Larry instinctively wrapped his arms around him, pulling him closer into him, for the first time In a while Sally felt... safe.
