I Always Be Here For You

III

Addison's POV (After school)
I walked out of the school to find Sam waiting out front in his car. I didn't want to go but I forced myself to walk toward his car. He saw me approaching and gave me a smile. I smiled back. I opened the passenger door and got in the car.
"Hey Addy. I'm glad you agreed to come to my house" Sam said.
"I mean we need to get the project over with"
"Yeah" Sam mumbled.
He started the car and we drove down the street in the direction of Sam's house.
Once we reached Sam's house
"We're here" Sam said as he got out the car.
I got out as well. I took a look at Sam's house. It was huge. I was amazed.
"Umm Addy? You okay there?" Sam asked me.
"Yeah. It's just that your house is beautiful"
"Thanks. To be honest, I think that the flowers that my gardener planted are hideous and don't compliment the house at all. That's why I told my parents to fire him and they did"
Wow. This guy is a jerk.
"We should get inside. You know so that we don't have to look at the flowers anymore" I said
"You're right. Let's go"
He grabbed his keys from his pocket and opened the front door. He let me go in first. Then he shut the door closed. I looked around. The inside was gorgeous. Everything was beautiful.
"Come on Addy. I haven't got all day"
"I'm coming" I said, a bit annoyed at him.
I walked up the stairs and followed him toward his bedroom.
"Why are we here Sam?" I asked.
"To do the project, duh"
"Can't we do it in the living room? I don't feel comfortable"
"It's not like I'm gonna do anything" Sam said annoyed.
"Fine" I said and sat down on his bed. Sam was sitting in his desk chair.
"Okay. Let's start this then" Sam said as he turned his laptop on.
"Okay" I replied.
After a couple hours
"Finally. We are done" Sam said.
"Yeah finally. I should get going" I said, grabbing my stuff.
"Wait. The night is just starting. Let's have some fun" Sam said as he walked closer to me.
"No Sam. I have to go"
I tried to get to the door but Sam grabbed my arm.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm leaving" I said.
"No you're not. You are gonna be mine tonight"
He started kissing my neck. I tried to push him off but he was stronger than me. He pushed me onto his bed. I tried to run but it ended with Sam slapping me hard.
"You're gonna be mine Addy. I'm gonna show you that I'm better than Liam" Sam said as he started to take my shirt off.
He couldn't unbutton my shirt so he ripped it open. He stared at my exposed body before he looked up at me and smirked.
"Face it Addy. You can't stop this from happening"
Sam then began to unbutton my jeans. I can't let this happen. I need to figure out how to get away from Sam.
As Sam was sliding my jeans off of me, I looked up to see what I can grab. I saw a picture frame on his night table. I grabbed it and hit it on top of his head. The glass of the frame broke and Sam was out cold.
I slipped my jeans back on and buttoned it up. I grabbed my things and ran out the house. My phone began to ring. I took it out of my bag and saw that it was Liam.
"Liam! You need to help me" I screamed into the phone.
"What is it Addy? What happened?" Liam replied, sounding concerned.
"I just need you to come quickly please"
"Okay Addy. Tell me his address"
"Okay. It's (insert address). Please Liam, hurry"
"I'll be there quickly Addy. Just hold on"
With that, Liam hung up. I hid behind a bush that was nearby. I was afraid that Sam was gonna come out of his house and try to find me. I looked down at my shirt and saw that Sam teared the whole thing open. It was one of my favorite shirts. Liam gave it to me on my 17th birthday. I started crying. I couldn't handle it. I felt so disgusted.
My phone then began ringing again. It was Liam. I picked it up.
"Hello?" I said quietly.
"I'm here outside of Sam's house" Liam said.
I hung up and got up from behind the bush. Liam saw me and got out of the car. He ran towards me and hugged me.
"What the hell happened Addy?" Liam asked angrily.
"Nothing. I just want to go home" I said.
"It's not nothing Addy. What did that idiot do to you?"
I stayed quiet. I walked toward the car and got into the passenger seat. Liam followed me and got back into the driver seat.
"I want you to explain everything to me when we get home" Liam said.
"Okay" I quietly said.
When they got home (Liam's POV)
I turned off the car once I pulled into my driveway. I looked at Addy and saw that she was asleep. My stare went down to her ripped shirt. That asshole Sam either raped Addy or attempted to. I was angry beyond comprehension at that point but I need to be calm so that Addy tells me what happened.
"Addy?" I said as I shook her softly.
"Mmm?" she replied but didn't open her eyes.
"We're home" I said
She opened her eyes and looked at me. I saw that her eyes were red and swollen. Dried tears were still on her cheeks. I brought my thumb up to her face and wiped the tears off her cheeks. I gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"Let's get you inside and then you can lay down" I said as I got out of the car.
I went to her side and opened the door. I picked her up and carried her inside. I lied Addy down on the couch. She still had her things clutched to her chest. I grabbed her bag and her binder out of her arms and placed them down on the table. I then sat down beside her.
"Can you tell me now what happened?" I asked.
"Yeah" she whispered.
I stayed quiet and waited for her to tell me.
"We had just finished the project when I told Sam that I was gonna leave. He said that I shouldn't leave yet and then he walked toward me. I said no and that I was leaving. I grabbed my things and was walking toward the door when he grabbed me by the arm. He pulled me toward him and started kissing my neck. I tried to fight him but I was weaker compared to him. He then pushed me onto his bed. I tried to push him away but that just made him slap me" she explained as she touched the bruise that was forming on the side of her lip.
"He kept saying that I was gonna be his and that he's gonna show me how he's better than you. He then ripped my shirt open after attempting to unbutton it and failing. I was so afraid" Addy closed her eyes as she said the last sentence.
I hugged her.
"You can stop if you want" I said, letting go of her.
I can tell that remembering that moment was causing her a lot of pain.
"No it's okay" she said.
"He then unbuttoned my jeans and started sliding them off. While he did this, I grabbed a picture frame that was on his night table and smashed it onto his head. The glass broke and he was knocked out. I pulled my jeans back up and buttoned them up. I grabbed my things and ran out the house. Then you called and the rest you know"
I couldn't believe it. My precious girlfriend saved herself. If she didn't act fast, she would have been raped by that motherfucker.
"I'm sorry baby. I shouldn't have let you go to that idiot's house. I'm sorry" I said as tears began to fall from my eyes.
"This is not your fault. How could you have known?" Addy said, trying to calm me down.
"I couldn't but I still needed to have protected you"
This time, she hugged me.
"You did protect me. You came to pick me up. You called me. You saved me from being alone in that bush" Addy said quietly.
"I love you baby" I said as I kissed her.
"I love you too" Addy said as she pulled away.
She looked down at her shirt and frowned.
"He broke my favorite shirt"
"Don't worry Addy. I give you one of mine to wear"
"Thanks" Addy said with a half smile.
I got up from the couch and went upstairs to get one of my t-shirts. I know why that shirt meant a lot to Addy. It was the shirt that I gave her on her birthday. She always wore it.
I grabbed a shirt that was in my drawer and walked back downstairs to the living room.
I handed it to Addy.
"It will be pretty big on you but I know how much you love to wear my sweaters" I said with a smile.
"I'm sure I will love it" she said as she removed the ripped shirt off of her body.
She put my shirt on and I got to say that she looked really cute in it.
"You look cute" I said.
"Really? It's not too big?" Addy asked as she looked down.
"No. It's perfect"
She made a disgusted face.
"Why are you making that face?" I asked.
"Because you are being too lovey Archer" Addy said with a giggle.
"You make me this way Winters. You make me all lovey. It's your fault" I said with a chuckle.
"I love you"
"I love you too baby"
I kissed her. I kissed her with all the passion inside of me.
I really did love Addison. I told Matthew that on the day that the accident took place. I have to do something really special for her on our anniversary.
A couple of hours later
I slowly started to wake up. I looked at the time and saw that it was 2:30 in the morning. Addy had her arms around my neck as she fell asleep on my chest. I got up and carried her up the stairs to take her to my room. I lied Addy down on my bed. I covered her body with the blanket. I didn't feel like sleeping anymore so I walked back downstairs to watch some T.V.
Then the doorbell rang. I got up and looked out the peephole. It was Nick.
I opened the door to be met face to face with Nick.
"Hey cousin. What's up?" Nick said with a smirk.
"Nothing really, considering that it is almost 3 in the morning" I said while rolling my eyes.
"Ha ha, very funny. I just need to crash here for the night" he said.
"Any specific reason?" I asked.
"My mom kicked me out" Nick said while rubbing the back of his neck.
"Why?"
"It's a long story. How about you let me crash here and I explain it all in the morning?"
"Fine. You can sleep here on the couch" I said.
"Thanks man. I owe you one"
"Yeah whatever. Just make sure not to make any noise. Addy is asleep and I don't want you to wake her up"
"Don't worry man. It will be like I'm not even here" he said with a smile.
"Yeah. We'll see about that. Good night"
"Good night"
With that, I walked up the stairs and went into my bedroom. I lied down on my side of the bed and as I closed my eyes, I drifted off to sleep.
