WHO'S REDDIE FOR REMILY FLUFF/ANGST?!?!

⚠ Attempted rape ⚠

Side note, Emily's legs are fully healed and she's back in school 👌

*Ruby's POV*

Emily's late. She's never late. Where the fuck is she?!

I knew that I shouldn't have let Emily keep taking Professor Peterson's class. He tried to rape Richie, and she insisted on staying. What if he's trying to do stuff to her?!

No. I need to calm down. That's not what's happening, she probably just stopped at Cafe This Way, or Q Corner.

She's fine. She's safe.

Why wouldn't she be?

*Emily's POV*

"You're lucky I actually WANT to have sex with a fat slut like you!" Peterson screamed at me and slapped me harshly.

I was sobbing at this point, hysterical. My first day back to my classes, and THIS happens. I looked at his face, blurred from my crying.

"Pl-please don't d-do this, Profe-"

"Shut up!" Max yelled and kicked me to the floor. "Just shut up already!"

I stared at him for a second and started screaming. I screamed louder than I ever had before. Louder than when Ruby took me to Hershey Park and we went on the scariest ride. Louder than when I got my acceptance letter to the College of the Atlantic. Louder than when I got home after mine and Ruby's first date (and first kiss).

"Max?" Another teacher called out. "Is everything alright?"

The teacher walked into the room and looked at the scene in front of him. Max was only half dressed, anger and fear covering his face. My face was probably flushed and covered in tears, a giant red handprint across my cheek. My shirt was torn and I was lying on the floor, Max towering over me.

"HELP ME! PLEASE!" I sobbed to the teacher.

"Max...step away from the girl..." he said calmly and started walking towards us slowly.

"No," Professor Peterson growled. "Get lost Jackson."

The teacher, Jackson, looked from me to Peterson for a minute before walking towards the door. Any hope I had quickly fled and my heart started racing again. But Jackson didn't leave. He just went to the phone and picked it up.

"Max. Get away from her right now. I'm going to call the police."

The two teachers stared at each other for a while before Peterson rolled his eyes and stood up. He buttoned his shirt and walked towards Jackson.

"Whatever, she's just a dumb bitch," he mumbled and looked back towards me. "Too fat for me anyways."

He smirked at me and walked out the door. Jackson ran towards me and sat down on the floor as I started crying harder.

"Hey, kiddo, can you hear me? I'm Professor West, I'm gonna help you. What's your name?"

"E-Emily.." I looked up at him and trying to even my breathing.

"Ok Emily, its nice to meet you... I'm gonna take you to the Headmaster's office, ok?"

I frantically started shaking my head no and squirmed away from him.

"Hey, I'm not gonna hurt you...you're ok now Emily." Jackson said calmly and stood up. "I'm gonna go call the police, ok? I'm staying in this room, I'm just going over there."

He walked towards the door and quickly dialed 911 on the phone. I just stared at the ground in fear as Jackson put his jacket on me. The Headmaster came, then the police, then finally Ruby.

"Em..." she sighed and ran towards me. "Oh my god, are you ok?"

I finally pulled my eyes away from the floor and up to Ruby. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked sad, but relieved.

"I'm sorry Ruby," I finally said. My voice was scratchy as I started crying again. "I'm so sorry."

I stood up and fell into her arms and she held me tightly. Ruby whispered comforting words in my ear and put her chin on top of my head. I wrapped my arms around her and sighed shakily.

"Don't apologize, baby. This isn't your fault. Let's just go home, ok?"

I nodded softly and let Ruby lead me back to her car. She drove as I stared at the dashboard. Ruby looked over at me a couple times, worried, but I didn't acknowledge her. We finally got home and she turned to me.

"Sweetie...talk to me."

"He's right..." I whispered after a moment. "I'm fat and I'm a slut and a bitch and dumb and-"

"No," Ruby cut off my rant. "That's not true. You're amazing and adorable and kind and funny and smart and beautiful."

I smiled weakly and kissed her softly.

"No you" I giggled.

"I love you so much sweetheart. So fucking much." Ruby smiled and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back before we both got out of the car and walked into our apartment.

"Em?" Ruby asked quietly as I plopped down on our bed.

"Yeah babe?" I asked and closed my eyes.

"You're the most amazing girl I've ever met," Ruby kissed my cheek and I felt her get into the bed. "I love you so much."

"I love you more."
