2: "Let me go"

Warning: Self harm and sexual assault in this chapter!

Betty's POV

The night was could. I tried to keep myself warm, wrapping my old, wispy blanket tighter around me. It didn't help, so I had to get up from the ground between two trash cans and start walking. I always liked to take little night walks, when the city was quiet. Only then I could be alone, without all those disgusted or pitying stares. Just me, and the beautiful sleeping city.

My thoughts wandered to the day before, and to the mysterious girl, with black hair and black, fancy dress. When she had came close to me, I had got so scared. Something in her just was so strong, and the gaze in her dark eyes felt like piercing me. Of course I knew that she was just trying to help, but I still felt angry. I didn't want all those rich bitches pitying me. I really hoped that she was smart enough to stay away from me.

I walked along a narrow, dark street. Two high walls of blocks were bordering it, they had weird graffitis all over them. Finally I started to get warm, so I decided to turn back. I wanted away from this dark street, as soon as possible. Something in this place made me so scared.

Suddenly I saw three silhouettes against a streetlight at the end of the road, like 20 meters far away. Those three young men with black leather jackets were walking towards me. I got pretty scared, and started running, to get past of them as quickly as possible. When I was just in front of them, one of the men stepped on my way, forcing me to stop.

"Not so fast, honey", he said smirking at me. He had black hair and a purple bruise around one of his dark eyes. I tried to get past him, but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back.
"Where do you think you're going, beautiful?", he asked a scary tone in his voice.
"Let me go, I don't have anything you want!", I said. I tried to sound strong, but my voice was shaking.
"Oh yes you do, honey." He pushed me against the wall, looking straight to my eyes, and grinned.

"No! Let me go!", I shouted to him.
"Shhh, don't be so noisy, honey, or you might get hurt." His friends were laughing behind him.
"Now, just hold still, okay?", he whispered into my ear. One of his hands was on my waist, and the other one brushed under my hoodie. Too well known panic run over me, when I felt his cold hand on my skin. I took all my power, and put my hands on his shoulders and pushed him away. Same time I kicked him, between his legs, as hard as I could. He moaned in pain, and he's hold eased. I used the as an opportunity, and got off from his hold. As soon as I was free, I started running, as fast as I could.

I didn't stop until I was back at the backyard of the restaurant. There I hided between the trash cans, gasping. Slowly I fell to the ground, and started crying. All those painful memories came back, and I just kept crying and crying. When I couldn't take the feeling anymore, I took a little knife from my pocket, and took off the bandage from my wrist. In that night, I couldn't sleep at all.
