Earned It

Chapter Ten: The Memory

He had me pinned to the bed. I smelt the liquor off his breath as he kissed my neck. His grips on my wrists became tighter as the more I struggled. "Stop resisting." he slurred into my ear. He slowly got on top of me. His full weight on my stomach.I tried to push him off me. I couldn't.

I gasped for air as he tied my right arm to the frame of the bed. He did the left and moved and did the feet as well. I was all tied up.I tried to scream but the duct tape on my mouth made it almost impossible to hear anything. Still squirming trying to get out...but I am too weak.

He stumbled over to his dresser to take another sip of his drink, gin and tonic. He headed back to me. He looked down at me from the end of the bed. He slowly lowered his pants revealing his penis. I struggled more trying to escape. He really tied these tight, I thought.

His cold hands finally reached my pants. He slowly unbuttoned my pants and my hello kitty underwear. "Mmm nice and tight" he moans as he slides his finger inside me.

I jump out of Mr. Styles arms. Just the sight of my dad brought the worst night of my life back into my head.

Mr. Styles picks up his head as I sit on the edge of the bed. He places his hand on my back. His soft hand makes me feel better. I take a breath.

"Are you alright?" He moves closer to me now sitting on the edge of the bed with me.

I look up into his eyes. They are soft and safe.

"Yeah Ill be okay. Just can't stop thinking about how he just showed up like that." I ramble on for a bit about how much I hate him.

I feel a soft touch on my cheek. I feel protected in Mr. Styles presence. I place my hand on his. He kisses my forehead.

"I will be here...now and always." He pulls me in his arms.

His body is warm. I feel his heart beating slow. It helps calm me down.

"Thank you." I blush.

I lay back down in his arms. His left arm holding me tighter to him. I am safe.

I wake up alone. Where could Mr. Styles have gone? I look at my phone and see there's a post it note. "Good morning sunshine, I had to leave to get ready for work. I have a surprise for you at school. Come to my room when you get here. Love, Harry"

I pin the note to my cork board and get ready for the day.

I head down the stairs when I get a text from Shannon.

"Get to school right now girlie. Sydkne is gonna get it. I swear."

I hop on the bus and get to school. James and Shannon are waiting at the front for my bus to drop me off.

"What's going on?" I ask

"Just come and see." Shannon grabs my hand and brings me into the school.

Did Sydkne really do all of this? I couldn't believe what I was looking at. The halls were filled with pictures of Shannon that said 'pregnant slut' or 'dirty whore' all over them.

Everyone in the hallway stared at us as we walked through. Some students kept asking Shannon if it was true or not. Little did they know she had a miscarriage. Shannon was determined to find Sydkne. We waited at her locker until the bell rang.

"Fuck, she isn't coming. Lets take all of these degrading pictures down and then I'll beat her up later."

James and I help take down all of the pictures. Shannon waits for the bell to ring at Sydkne's locker. Students pass and laugh at Shannon as they walk by. I can tell she is trying to ignore them. Everytime she hears another laugh you can see her get visibly angrier. Sydkne finally comes down the stairs with Lorainne and Angela following.

"I am gonna kill you!!!" Shannon charges at her. The two begin to pull hair and swing at each other. James and I hold Lorainne and Angela back to let it happen. Shannon has to get her anger out.

A circle forms around the two girls. "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Is being chanted down the halls. Shannon punches Sydkne square in the face. She starts bleeding from her nose when teachers begin to swarm the halls. Mr. Styles runs and grabs Sydkne while the Principal, Mr. TheWeeknd, grabs Shannon.

The two girls are escorted to the office and everyone continues on like nothing happened.

"Lay off. If you ever touch me ever again you'll be the one with the bloody nose." Lorainne threatens me.

James holds me back and we go our own way.

I wait outside the office for Shannon. Mr. Styles leaves the office.

"Hey, you never came by my room today."

"I know I was busy dealing with Sydkne. She was the one that made the pictures of Shannon."

"I know they are talking about it now. She is gonna be in a lot of trouble. She might even get kicked out of the play."

That means I could still be Ariel. Well at least one good thing happened today... this and my alone time with...Harry.

We make it to his room.

"So...What's my surprise?"

He turns and smirks. Harry reaches into his bag and holds my surprise behind his back.

"Are you sure you're ready for it?"

"I'm always ready for you, Harry"

He pulls his hands from behind his back revealing a pair of silver handcuffs. Handcuffs? Could it be-. I-I cant think right now. Everything is going fuzzy. I begin to fall and everything goes black.
