clementines P.O.V
im lying in my bed, staring at the roof, as I often do, when I small knock sounds on the door. my heart fluttered, hoping it was louis. "come in" I yelled quietly. the door creaked open to reveal marlon. confusion washed over my body. I shifted so instead of laying down, I was resting my body on my forearms. "marlon, hey. whats up?" he looked at me with a mischievous smirk that sent chills through my body. and not the good kind. he sat down on my bed without a word. "uh... marlon?" he suddenly lunged forward and collided his lips with mine. I drew back, instantly. "marlon what the hell! you know im with loui-" he threw his hand over my mouth, silencing me. my body shivered with fear, unknowing of his intentions. "sh, baby. I know, but your mine now." he licked his lips and I screamed internally. he pushed me over and crawled on top of me, attacking my lips with kisses, all the while working to pull my jeans off. I kept trying to shove him off, but he held his ground.
as soon as my jeans were off, he ripped my shirt off, like legitimately ripped it. I was now left in my distressed underwear. and soon those were off too
I cringed at the feeling of him entering me. my body gave up hope as I just stopped struggling. there was no point. for three years now, I had been saving this very moment for louis, only to have it stolen from me by my best friend. he sucked on my neck, painfully biting on my skin. he was moaning and grunting, whereas I just laid there, limp, tears falling down my cheeks. he started to move faster, causing my whole body to wrack with pain. I gasped with horror as he came inside me, the newfound fear of pregnancy washing over me. almost as soon as he came onto me, he hopped off the bed, pulled his jeans back on, and walked out, leaving me to cry on my own. the familiar shout from omar announcing dinner made its way to my ears, and I wiped my eyes. as much as I would love to stay in bed and cry, people would be suspicious, so instead I got rid of any trace I was crying, and went to the courtyard. the first thing I saw was marlon, who was sat next to louis, laughing at my lovers newest joke. we made eye contact, and he smirked, causing my skin to crawl. louis followed his gaze, and he saw me. he instantly stood up and marched over to me. "we need to talk" he hissed. I said nothing, so he grabbed my wrist and dragged me over to the side of the school, out of earshot of the others.
"would you like to explain what the hell that is on your neck?!" he hissed loudly, causing me to gasp. he never yelled at me. I had also completely forgotten about the hickeys. I couldn't hold it anymore. the tears began to flow as I collapsed on the floor. "oh my god clem!" he crouched down and pulled me into his arms. I can only guess what was going through his head at that moment. "he-he" I sobbed as he rocked me back and forth." clem did someone... do this to you? without..." he cut himself off, clearly unable to finish. "he-he he touched me!" I howled into his shoulder. my body shook as he rubbed my back. "clementine... who did this to you?" he whispered, pulling away and cupping my face. "m-m-m-marlon" I could barely say his name. louis gritted his teeth "did he actually..." I knew what he meant, and I simply didn't have it in me to day anything else, so I just nodded. my crying had now subsided to sniffles. "I love you clem. ok? I love you so fucking much. I should've seen it- I- "he cut himself off. it hurt me that he blamed himself. i cupped his cheeks and lifted his face to make him look at me. my head swayed side to side as i shook my head no. "no. not your fault. " he sighed.
"lets get you upstairs. your staying with me tonight. il bring you your food." he picked me up under my arms, and i wrapped my legs around his waist, resting my chin on his shoulder. he held my waist and lopped an arm under my butt to support me. he walked though the courtyard, us receiving concerned glares, before walking into his dorm and laying on the bed, so im on top of him. he gently placed me beside him, and rolled over. "il be back in a few minutes ok? il lock the door so he cant hurt you." he kissed my forehead and stood up. he stepped into the doorway, and turned around. "i love you." he whispered. "i love you too." i whispered back. he smiled sadly and closed the door. i heard the sound of a lock clicking, which made me feel more comfortable, knowing it was locked with a key from the outside. i could open it on the inside though.
