To the Moon and Back (Royalty series #1)

Chapter 23- The calm before the storm

As I rushed into the water I felt a pair of strong arms grab me from underneath causing me to sit on his shoulders. I saw Ace as I almost fell down because of fright as he tried to balance me once again in his shoulders.

"Chicken Fight!" He screamed at Heid and Andrea as she sat on Heid's shoulder as well

"Wait Ace-" I begged until Andrea tried to push me down in the waters

I regained my balance as I tried to push her as well. If this bish think that she can do that right after she betrayed me, she's wrong. I splashed water on her face causing her to lose sight while I pushed her causing her to fall down and lose balance as the rest of us laughed while Heid was trying to help Andrea up as he chuckled as well.

Since we were all hungry, we all decided to eat at one of the bistros near the beach. In the end we ended up in one of the cutest shack near the ocean, it was a shack that was made to look part of a Hawaiian beach but ended up in Massachusetts. It was filled with beach pictures as well as people dressed all Hawaiian like.

As we made our way to the bistro, we noticed a lot of people staring at us, us girls in particular. I felt one of the old men stare at my bum as I sat down. I felt uncomfortable and for the first time in years I've never felt this awkward before. I excused myself to the bathroom to avoid more awkward interactions with old men and besides I had to pee anyways.

As I approached the bathroom, I felt another pair of strong arms envelope me in a back hug

"Ace stop I have to pee" I told him as I really had to go to the loo

"I'm no 'Ace' darling, I'm better" A guy said as he pushed me to the wall as he smirked at me

It was the guy whom stared at my bum since we went here. I panicked as I didn't know what to do. I understand why the women in movies who didn't have the guts to kick him in his manhood, they didn't because it was scary. I felt every inch of my body disgusted as I felt his hands creep it's way inside my panties as his lips made its way on my neck. I wanted to scream but nothing. I can't do anything, it was like I was paralyzed. I might seem like an idiot now for not doing anything but I panicked.

It continued for a minute as I whimpered since it was the only thing I could do at the moment. Once he felt the tears drop he looked back at me stopping at kissing my neck. He slapped me, he dare to slap me in my face. But no matter how furious I was, I still couldn't move, I can't scream, I can't do anything.

As he continued, I felt someone throw him across the room. It was Ace, I jumped and hugged him while my legs wrapped around his torso. I continued to sob and whimper until he told me instructions on what to do. I went back to my seat as Ace handled with the perverted guy.

I told everything that had happened with the others and I continued to cry until it was out of my system. The others continued to comfort me up until Ace returned back to the room.

His lips were busted, his knuckles full of blood. He looked like he killed someone. I rushed to him as I hugged him thinking the waterworks were out of my system until I continued to sob once again.

"Shh" Ace spoke softly as he continued to caress my hair

"What happened?" I asked still in shock of what happened

"You rather not know" He replied as I saw the guy go out the door

Both his eyes had purple, green, and black rings around it. His nose was full of blood, the main structure was broken leaving a flat nose. His lips were much more busted than Ace was. His face was broken and yet even knowing he wasn't here anymore, I still was afraid.
