The College Hook Up

Chapter Eleven

I walked into school, I haven't gotten sleep since God knows when. I was scared to close my eyes for just a second knowing Elliot was always watching me. Mila smiled at me as she greeted me but her frown slowly faided.
"Amara." She said grabbing me and pulling me to the side. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, just tired." I said forcing a smile onto my face. Elliot smiled at me as he came up behind Mila. He came and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Hello,"elliot said kissing my forehead.
I forced a smile and Mila looked at me and then Elliot. I forced a smile. The bell rang and elliot kissed me again. He walked into the class room.
"I have to run to the bathroom." I told Mila and then walked quickly to the bathroom.
I looked at myself in the mirror tears streaming down my face. The door swung open and slammed shut. I wiped my tears away quickly. It sounded like the lock got locked and my heart started pounding.
"Elliot, please." I begged, "not here."
I closed my eyes as a hand rested on my shoulder. It turned me around. Tears started to stream slowly down my face. A soft hand wiped them away.
"What did he do to you?" I heard a familiar voice say. My heart stopped pounding so fast. I inhailed softly and opened my eyes. Marcus stood in front of me, his eyes looked sad.
"I..." I couldnt say it. I cried harder and Marcus pulled me into a hug. "He rapped me."
Marcus pulled away from me, "what did you say."
"He rapped me." I cried harder.
Marcus pulled away and looked at me, "that son of a bitch." He swore and unlocked the bathroom door. He slammed it open and stormed out the room. I followed him.
He spotted Elliot talking to a couple a friends. Marcus shoved Elliot against the wall near him. Elliot had a smile on his face. Marcus lifted Elliot up like he was a rag doll.
"I swear, if you ever touch Amara again... I will fucking kill you." Marcus said setting Elliot on the ground. He turned towards me and started to walk towards me.
"If she wasn't such a whore and asking for it-" Elliot spat but before he could finish Marcus swong and his hand made contact with Elliot's face.
I jumped and quickly ran over to where Marcus was punching Elliot in the face. Elliot got a couple punches in and I touched Marcus's arm saying his name softly.
Marcus pulled away and looked at me. Marcus looked at Elliot and then walked over to me. He placed a soft kiss on my forehead and then grabbed my hand.

Marcus walked with his hand in mine as we walked up to the house. I was planning on staying with Marcus for a couple days to get away from Elliot. I stepped on the bottom step and the door swong open. Both my parents are there, my mother with her arms crossed.
"Mom. Dad. I didn't know that you were stopping by." I said walking towards them dropping Marcus's hand. My brother sat on the couch his one leg over the other looking at his phone. Marcus stood close to me but still at a distance.
My mother turned on her heels and I could tell she was pissed. My brother did a small wave and he rolled his eyes at my mom. I let out a small chuckle.
"This isn't a laughing matter." My mom hissed finally looking at me. My mom looked me over and scrunched her nose.
My mother and I never had the best relationship. Always fighting when I was a kids. She always belittled me. She called me all the names you could think.
"Hi, honey." My dad pulled me into a hug.
"Hi dad." I smiled hugging him back.
"You are always a push over." My mom huffed at my dad.
My dad shrugged and looked behind me and extended his hand to Marcus.
"Hello, nice to meet you." Marcus said shaking my dad's hand.
I looked at my mom and her arms were crossed against her chest. My brother smiled as he greeted Marcus doing some sort of fist bump thingy. I smiled over at Marcus.
"So, why the hell are you rooming with 3 college guys?" My mom hissed grabbing everyone's attention.
"Well, that is because when I saw the add i applied and then the school approved it. And i didn't realize that it was a guys house till i got here." I said. The look my mom gave me showed she didnt believe me."trust me, mother. I dont want to be here."
Just then the front door swong open and Elliot stood there. His face bruised and bloody. My mother ran over to him and elliot shot me an evil smile.
"Oh God, Elliot!" My mother exclaimed. "What the hell happened to you?"
"Ask Amara's boyfriend." Elliot hissed.
My mom twisted towards where Marcus stood. She stomped towards him and poked his chest. "What did you do to him?"
My mom always favored Elliot. She treated him better than she treated her own kids. It made me pissed seeing the way she was treating Marcus.
"Mother." I grabbed her arm pulling her away from Marcus. My mother looked at me angry filled her eyes. She reached her hand up and slapped me across the face.
"How dare you let this man hurt Elliot." She hissed my dad grabbing her.
I let out a chuckle, "you have no idea what the hell Elliot has done."
"Enlighten me." My mother said my dad finally letting her go.
"He fucking raped me." I said looking at her.
My mom laughed. She fucking laughed. "And this chump believed you?"
Marcus stepped close to me placing his hand on the small of my back as I saw something in my mom snap. She stormed her way up to me. Elliot smirked at the scene.
My mother's finger in my face, "you are a lying fucking bitch." She hissed, "what are you trying to punish me? Make me relive my past."
"This isn't about you." I heard Marcus say causing chills down my spine. I felt his grab my hand. "Ma'am," Marcus's voice switched back to a gental tone, "Elliot has been harassing her for a long time. He-"
"Enough," my mother's voice boomed, "my daughter.. ha.. she isn't my daughter. Not anymore. She died. My daughter.. the person I knew as my daughter died in that crash..."
"Elizabeth." My father exclaimed grabbing her hand.
"No," my mother said, "I'm done. I'm done with her lies. She isn't my daughter anymore. She is a dirty fucking whore and she probably deserved it anyway."
The tears that were in my eyes finally fell. It was from pure anger. Marcus grabbed my arm pulling me back towards him.
"ELIZABETH!" My father's voice boomed. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" My father looked at me, sorrow in his eyes, "we are leaving."
He frowned pulling my mother out of the house. That's when I heard a screech. I looked out the door and my brother had punched Elliot in the jaw which caused my mother to screech.
"You son of a bitch." My brother swore before looking up at me and sideways smiled at me, "if I find out you touched my sister... I will get Marcus and we will bury you in a shallow grave.. got it?" My brother then got into his own car and left.
Marcus pulled me upstairs and he then started putting clothes into a duffle bag as I stood there tears falling down my face. He swore under his breath as he scrambled around the room finding things and putting then into the bag and the other bags he had opened on the bed. My eyes started to hurt and my face felt hot. Marcus came up to me and wrapped his arms around me. That's when I lost it. I clenched his shirt, crying into it.
