Brooklyn

CHAPTER SIX

  I woke up on a Sunday afternoon, 12PM.
I thought if I slept in until the afternoon, Ryan would come faster. I got up from my bed, and took a ten minute shower.

  It refreshed my body, especially after yesterday. I wrapped my legs after getting out from the shower. I still needed them wrapped, just for them to heal.

   Today would be warmer, so I could wear shorts and a crop top. I grabbed my black shorts, and purple striped crop top. Slid on my sneakers and headed downstairs. My dad waited in the kitchen as he ate breakfast.

  A plate of toast lay on the table, it still seemed warm, so I grabbed it quickly and started to eat. "Look who's finally awake." My dad laughed, looking over at me. "Sorry dad, I woke up later." "You look like you got ready for something?" My dad asked. "My friend is bringing me to the creek to hangout, is that okay?"

  My dad thought, then nodded. "Just don't stay out for too long." I spotted something outside our house. "Oh dad! I think he's here. I have to go now, bye!" I rushed out of the house, finishing my toast.

  My dad shook his head. "Bye bye."

   I ran over to Ryan. He sat on his bike. "Hopping on?" He asked. I nodded, getting on as I held his waist. He rode down the street, soon coming down a path with no rode that led into a forest.

  "My friends are in the creek down there." He said. Parking his bike then helped me down. "Who are your friends?" I asked. "You'll see." Then he walked on the path, leading me to the creek.

  As soon as we got there, I immediately smelt cigarette smoke. I would hear talking, laughing. "Ugh- your friends smoke?" I asked, a bit annoyed. "Yeah, Sorry.." Ryan walked more ahead, greeting his friends. All of them were guys.

  "Hey guys- I brought my friend Brooklyn." He said, as I stood near him. "A girl?" A guy asked, acting disgusted. "Yes, Mason. A girl." Ryan rolled his eyes.

  His friends shrugged, continuing to smoke near the creek, or just do dumb things in general. I sat down on a log, trying not to inhale the disgusting smoke. I spotted Ryan light a cigarette, then put it in his mouth.

"Great, he smokes." I said sarcastically.

  Another dude sat by me. I had no idea who this guy was.. "Hey, Brooklyn was it?" He asked. "Yeah." "You're beautiful, you know." He turned, looking at me.

  This seemed a bit creepy to me but I thanked him. "Uh- thanks?" "Wanna see something cool? It's farther down the creek." He stood up, holding out his hand. I sighed, grabbing his hand as I got up.

  He led me farther down the creek, than sat down on another log. I sat down next to the guy, looking at the creek. "What's there to see here?" I asked, a bit confused. Nothing looked- cool around where we were.

  I didn't notice his hand wonder towards my behind. He grabbed my ass, then pulled me closer by the waist before I could get away. "Stop!" I would plead, he was stronger than me. His hands started to wonder up my shirt, but I kept pushing away.

  Ryan came out of the trees, starting to yell at his friend. "HEY, lay off her, alright?!" His friend let go of me, and I covered myself. "Damn, chill dude. I was just trying to see some titties. I was just playing jeez." He stood up, walking back.

  Ryan came towards me, but I backed away. He sighed, dropping his cigarette on the ground, then stepped on it. "I'm sorry.. I should have kept an eye on you." He apologized. My eyes seemed a bit teary, I was- violated. I came to him, letting him hug me.

  At this point,  I only felt safe around him, and only him.

  We walked back to his friends together. "Guys, I'm going back somewhere else." He called out, making sure I was near him at all times. "Why dude?" One of his friends asked. "I don't want to be here right now, jeez." Then he put his hand on my back, leading me out of the creek.
