I Need You

Chapter 3

TRIGGER WARNING

The next few months flew by. I was doing good outside of school. It was nice to be free from mom's house. I haven't spoken to them since I have moved out. I spend all my time third-wheeling with Axel and Enid. They officially became a couple a few weeks after their first date. I'm happy for them. They both seem genuinely happy. So that makes me happy. I am now sitting in front of my computer trying to write my last essay for English. I graduate in two weeks with Enid and we are excited. I have decided to not go to college. I want to take a year off and just enjoy not having to do any school work. My phone buzzes as I try to concentrate.

Enid: Hey girl. What are you doin?

Me: Just trying to finish the essay for Mrs. Link's class. I'm almost finished but I currently have writer's block.

Enid: Oh man that sucks. So wanna go to a party with me?

Me: Umm...what party? And its a school night, why would someone throw a party on a school night?

Enid: Don't know, but its suppose to be fun. Tanya invited me. And I told her I wasn't coming without you.

Me: I guess. What time should I be ready by?

Enid: Eight. and dress pretty....

Me: Okay.

I put my phone down and turn my attention back to the essay. Once I finished my essay, which took me an hour. I checked the time. It was seven, time to start getting ready. I looked through my closet and found a nice dress. It was knew length, perfect for hiding the scars on my legs. It was also long sleeved. I changed into the dress and put some concealer, eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss. Then I let me hair fall down my back. It was black and straight. I looked at the time to see that it was already 8. I sighed as I grabbed my purse and my keys. I then walked to the living room to see Axel looking really nice.

"Hey Ax, why are you all dressed up?" I ask.

"Oh, Enid invited me to some party with her. Why are you dressed up?"

"Same. Looks like I'm third wheeling again tonight." I say.

Axel chuckles as the doorbell rings. It was Enid looking gorgeous. I always thought she was much prettier than me. She had big sky blue eyes, curly blonde hair and was tall and skinny. I was different. Not only do I have almond shape eyes, that are a dull green, I have long jet black hair, and I'm "curvy" as some people say, but I call myself fat. Enid walked up to me and grabbed my hand, breaking me out of my thoughts. I smiled at her as we walked out of the door. Axel drove us there, It was surprisingly quick. We got out and my anxiety started. Enid must have saw my face because she smiled at me and grabbed my hand.

"It's okay Lola. I'm here and Axel is here. Just stay close to us. And if you don't feel better soon we can leave.

"Okay." I said smiling at her.

We walked into the house holding hands. It helped having Enid holding my hand, squeezing it occasional to reassure me. Soon, Enid let go to go get drinks and dance. I stood there by myself in a corner drinking my drink watching Axel and Enid dancing and having fun. I was too occupied with that to see a boy walk up to me.

"Hello gorgeous." he said.

"Umm...hi." I replied.

"So did you come here alone?" he asked.

"No, I came with my best friend and my brother."

"So where are they?" he asked.

"Dancing." I replied.

I stood there staring at my empty cup. I guess he noticed that my cup was empty because he looked at me and asked me if I wanted a refill. I answered with a no. But he just chuckled and told me he would be back. He returned a few minutes later and held the cup out to me. I was quite thirsty, so I took the cup and drank from it. He kept asking me questions about my age and what school I went to. About halfway into drinking the cup I started feeling dizzy and my eye sight was getting blurry.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"I don't feel good. I need a bathroom." I say.

"Come on, I will take you." he says.

He holds on to me as we walk through the crowd of people. Once in the bathroom, I started fading in and out of consciousness. I felt hands on my thighs and lips on my neck.

"No. Please stop." I weakly ask.

"Shh. You will like this. I wont hurt you." he says.

I try to fight him off but don't succeed. That's when I start crying. He was able to get my panties down and I hear the zipper of his pants. I'm still weakly begging him to stop. Soon he penetrates me and I scream as loud as I can. He then smacks me across the face hard and I sob harder. What felt like hours later, I hear the dude grunt before the bathroom door broke open. The guy was then thrown off of me and I slid to the floor sobbing. There are grunts and cussing coming from Axel, as he was yelling at the guy and calling him names. Soon I feel hands on me and I freak out until I hear Enid's voice.

"Shh. Lola it's okay. Its me, Enid. Come, let's take you home."

Then I am being lifted bridal style in someone's arms, I'm assuming Axel has picked me up. I hold on to him tightly as I continue to sob.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you once again." Axel says as we get in his truck. He wont et me go, so I'm sitting like a baby in his lap as Enid drives us home. By the time we get home, the tears have stopped, but I still haven't talked.

"I think we should take her to the hospital. They can help her with disease prevention." Enid says.

"She doesn't need anymore humiliation." Axel says stubbornly.

"I just want to sleep." I quietly answer.

Axel nodded his head and Enid followed us into the apartment. Axel took me to my room and put me on my bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out.
