The ride home is quite Lizzy doesn't try to get me to talk she seems to sense I don't feel like talking right now and I'm happy she's leaving me alone for now. She pulls into the driveway and walks to open my door. I step out I felt a slight breeze hit my warm cheeks. She walks with me to my front she unlocks the door for me my hands were shaking so much I kept dropping my keys. Walking in she orders me to sit at the dinner table. I watch her as she makes her way into the kitchen. I look back down at my hands I hear her moving stuff around opening and closing doors while she talks on the phone "hi mom.....yea..... Im going to sleepover at Alis house.....we're actually at her house right now.....yup ok love you too" she hands me a steaming mug "Here I made you some hot chocolate" I look down at the mug watching the mini marshmallows float around "drink" she says blowing into the cup I take a small sip before putting it down "now please tell me what happened tonight" she reaches out and give my hand a small squeeze. She sits there calmly as I start telling everything that happened she doesn't interrupt I see her face go from one emotion to the other. I know she not one to keep quiet but she lets me go on listening to everything even when I get to the part about Jake she bites her tongue.

My cup finally empty, I finish telling her everything. She stays quiet trying to process everything. she finally breaks the silence filling the room. "What the fuck was Dylan thinking! how dare he even think to touch you like that, that low life!" now shaking with anger she hits the table making me jump "and Jake that asshole I'm going to kill him I knew there was something about him" grabbing the empty mug in my hands I stay silent "listen, Ali, we need to go to the cops we need to tell them about Dylan what he did wasn't ok" I grip the mug in my hands tighter "I don't know Lizzy he didn't get to do anything......that guy stopped him before he could go do anything" remembering the guy who saved me dark eyes sends pleasant shiver throughout my body. "The moment he touched you he crossed the line Ali!" exasperated she looks gently at me *sigh* "alright for now let's get you out of these clothes go and take a shower I'll wait for you inside your room." she walks upstairs with me I smile and close the bathroom door.

Turning the water on I take everything off waiting for the water to warm up. I step into the warm water trickling down my muscles relax. Stepping out the shower I feel slightly better I grab a towel and walk towards my room. I see Lizzy at my vanity taking off her makeup she looks over at me with a small smile "im just going take a quick shower and come right back ok" I nod and watch her go into the bathroom shutting the door behind her. I open my closet grabbing shorts and a teeshirt I quickly put them on and grab another pair of shorts and teeshirt I place them on the edge of the bed. Pulling the cover I lay down I hear the door open Lizzy walks in and closes the door. "I grabbed some clothes for you" I point to them "thanks". I fall asleep instantly with Lizzy by my side. My dreams are full of Dylan and his hands pinning me down as he looks at me with those terrifying eyes I saw on him tonight.

Startled, I jump awake and the bed feels empty. I turn around and she isn't in bed a little worried I walk downstairs. Hearing noise I go into the kitchen. Seeing me walk in Lizzy smiles "Pancakes?" nodding I smile "yes please" I sit at the bar in the kitchen. We eat pancakes and drink coffee I feel a lot better this morning my friend certainly helped with that. Trying to get my mind off of what happened last night she tells me about Ryan. "he's such a good kisser I don't know Ali he just might be the one that makes me settle down.......for a good minute that is" she winks at me. I roll my eyes "mhmm sure whatever you say, Lizzy" I take a sip of my coffee which in turn warms my body. "You know what we need to get you out of this house lets go to the mall and then go see a movie what do you say" hmmm I don't feel like going out but it might be a good distraction. Then again I don't want to keep playing what happened last night over and over again in my head. "I guess it wouldn't hurt." she smiles "ok awesome go get dressed. We have drop by my house after your done and then we'll go to the mall. Now go get ready while I clean up k" I nod and go upstairs to get changed.

Back downstairs I see her waiting by the door holding her keys. "Alright let's go!" she opens the door and walks out I grab my wallet and keys from the table near the front door before locking up. We drive five houses up the street to Lizzy's house. She gets down while I wait inside the car it only takes her about 15 min to come back wearing dark ripped boyfriend jeans and a cute white asymmetric cropped shirt and white oldskools. I look down at my black ac/dc oversized tee and my black leggings paired with my black chucks *sigh* oh well too late to change now. She gets into the car and drives off.

At the mall, we walk around from store to store. Lizzy drags me into H&M not my first choice but she doesn't take no for an answer. "Come on smile shopping isn't that bad" what can I say I don't go shopping much. All of a sudden Lizzy tosses me a couple of shirts "here try these on" she says pushing me into the changing room. Pouting I try them on one by one opening the curtain to show my friend each one. Grabbing the last one I frown but put it on. I look into the mirror my body looks kinda hot in this but I don't feel like it's me. I stare at the black leather cami I have on it has crisscross cutouts showing my belly the top solid part is just long enough to cover my chest and then some. I turn around and see it has a zipper in the back. I shyly walkout to show my friend lifting her eyes from her phone her jaw drops. "That looks so nice on you Ali!" she smiles. "I don't know its just not my style Lizzy" she stands up and points at me "nonsense I'm going to buy it for you. Now go put your shirt back on were still going to go watch a movie." I reluctantly do as I'm told I walk back out and she grabs the top and heads to the register. "Here this is for you. Now let's go what movie should we watch?" I take the bag "thanks I don't know let's just watch a comedy." she smiles and nods at my suggestion.

After the movie, she drives me back home "Ali I know you don't want to talk about it but I still think you should go to the cops." I feel my body tense up "I....I'll think about it, thanks again for everything" giving her a small smile I close the car door and walk into my house. Locking the door I sigh it's pretty quiet without them here. I walk up the stairs to my room. Letting the door shut behind me I look down and see the grass-stained clothes on the floor next to the trash bin. I feel my heart tighten I quickly go into my closet grabbing an empty box I grab the clothes and throw them inside the box and hide them underneath the bed. Changing into my PJs I fall asleep.
