14: narrative

"Amelia Fiorella Rosario" Hope suddenly exclaimed. "Why the hell has Kio commented on your photo?"

I looked up from my phone in confusion too see the comment she were talking about.
"No way"

"Were y'all doing something last night?" Saga asked, joining in on the conversation.

I tried remembering what happened after I got to the bar. "We took some shots together, think that's all"

"Uh huh" Hope noted in disbelief. "You definitely made out or something with that comment"
Saga instantly agreed.

"Does Mattia know?"

"Why would he care? I mean I just found out myself!" I rolled my eyes at them, kinda didn't want to talk about any of this.

"Oh come on!" Saga said, throwing her hands in the air. "Isn't it obvious that he likes you?"

I shook my head no and gave them a weird look.
"I mean, it definitely ain't just-"
"Harmless flirting" The girls mocked the way Mattia and I had said it when we went dress shopping and both started cracking up.

"I hate you guys" I threw a pillow at them before getting up and walked into Roshaun and Alvaros room, were the boys were located.

I flopped onto the bed next to Kairi.
All the time I felt Mattias eyes on me.

I kinda tried to avoid him, especially after I found out that I had made out with Kio.
"You gucci?" Kairi asked, nudging my side softly.

"Yeah, please just remind to never drink again"

He laughed at me before joining in on the boys conversation. I took my phone and quickly started scrolling through TikTok.

I came across a few Avani had posted of us. I really needed to stop drinking this much.
But what did I do later that night?

I was drinking.
On some random bar in New York, with some random men.
I were on my seventh shot of tequila, when two of them began to be very touchy.

(!Rape warming!)

"Umm" I blurred out. "You're hurting me"

They didn't stop though. They forced me to the toilet were they started taking my clothes off.
One of the mens hands were all over me while the other one started to unbuckle his belt.

"I really think we should go back now" I tried, tears starting to form in my eyes. 

I was now only left in my underwear.
They grabbed me and pressed me against the wall, when the man who had just undone his belt banged himself into me.
I screamed out in pain, my tears were now a waterfall.

"Shut up you filthy slut" he groaned, once again thrusting into me, making me scream once again.
The other man took the belt and swung it across the air.

It smacked all the way across my back, the pain unbearable.
They continued that way for half an hour before leaving me trembling on the dirty bathroom floor.

I reached for my phone to see the clock was already 2 am. My whole body was shaking and my eyes were red and puffy.
I had no more tears left to cry when I dialled the only person to be with's number into the phone.

"Mel? Was wrong?" He asked, his voice sleepy and rusty.

I couldn't say anything, only dry sobs came out.

"Where are you?"

"I don't... I don't know Mattia" my voice were hoarse. "I'm a wreck"

"No, you're not"

I couldn't get myself to answer.

"Send me your location and I'll come get you"

I did as told, and waited about 20 minutes before Mattia were there. 
"What happened?" He sat down next to my, embracing my almost naked body.

"They... they raped me" I started sobbing again, while hiding myself in his chest.
We sat like that for what felt like forever before he helped me get dressed again, and we started walking home.

He held my hand in his, while walking the almost empty streets of New York City.
"Please never let go" I whispered softly.

He stopped and looked me in the eyes, before squeezing my hand slightly.

"I won't. I'll never let go" 

As we got back to the hotel he helped me wiping my makeup off, like he had the night before.
I couldn't sleep that night, and either did Mattia.
We laid in bed in silence until the sun rose. Occasionally I cried, then Mattia would stroke my hair until my breathing was steady again.

But most importantly, he kept his promise.
He never let go of my hand.

Mary's thoughts:
Sorry, this was a weird and short chapter. I tried to no make the rape scene too detailed, in case anyone would be triggered!

And btw thank you for almost a 100 reads!!🤍
