Chapter 3 - Janis and Cady

TW Homophobia (d-slur), Bullying, Rape implications.

A.N Swaps pov part way through because of writers block. curse the thing that makes it happen. Wait thats a brain that fails me, heh. Also I don't think I made it clear but this is a post canon fic and everyone made up at spring fling and Janis and regina will make up at some point. :)

Every time I try and sleep without almost passing out into sleep I dream of the same thing. Cady must've noticed something because she puts her arms around me. I startle awake at the sudden contact jumping away from her. She looks at me and the flight or freeze instinct takes over and I run. Cady tries to catch my hand but I've learnt to dodge very well, years of Shane Oman claiming he can 'Turn you Straight' I dart into the bathroom forgetting where I am and the parts of my dream flashing in my mind. 

// Shane walked up to me again. "Hey Dyke. The offer still stands if you want me to make you straight. All it takes is one good dicking down and you'll be begging for more." I shudder and try to walk away. Damien's not here today and as I turned Shane managed to catch my hand and he drags me into a supply closet. He is rough and doesn't take no. He strips me and forces me into it.//

My mind goes blank here but I'm rocking and muttering and shaking. I can't focus but when Damien walks in and sees me he knows whats happening. I've told him of this before and he usually knows what to do. "Janis. Can I touch you?" he asks and I nod. He gently picks up my hands and is talking to me. "I'm going to ask some questions and I'd like you to nod or shake your head okay." I nod and he continues. "Regina." I shake my head. "Your Mom." I shake my head. I hadn't had that one in a while. "Shane." I nod and the tears that had threatened to spill over do and I start to cry. "Aw Hon. It's okay, he can't hurt you. I'm here and Cady's here. Do you feel you can talk to me now?" I nod. "Can you tell me where we are and who you're with?" I nod. "I'm at home in my bathroom and I'm with Damien Hubbard and Cady Heron." I look up to see her standing awkwardly in the doorway. "Can I explain?" Damien asks me and I nod. Damien turns to face Cady and he quickly explains. "Shit. Jan I had no clue." Cady walked over to me and takes my other hand. "Will you come sit on your bed and you and Damien can finally show me vines?" I nod and she pulls me to my feet wrapping me in a hug. For a 5'5 girl Cady was strong. 

They led me to my bed and I sat down. Leaning back I rested my head on Cady's lap and Damien lifted my legs over his thighs so he could sit at an angle where he could show Cady vines. "So...How do they work." Damien explained how vines worked and I felt safe. I had Caddy and Damien. We stay like that until mid day. Damien showing Cady vines and Cady laughing. My heart felt like it would burst and I felt loved and Cady's laugh was the most beautiful thing. "I want food." Damien casually said so I got up and grabbed some snacks from the kitchen.

[CADY POV]

I watched Janis get up and leave then I turned to Damien. "Whats up with her." I asked him, I knew that there was something wrong but I just couldn't place it. "I don't know what you're on about." Damien said, very clearly acting it. "No Dame, there is something wrong and I know you wont be able to tell me because you're sworn to secrecy or something like that. But Janis is hurting and I can't watch that." Damien shifted nervously. Shit. " Damien, I don't mean to scare you its Just, Its Janis and I care too much about her, Regina hurt her, I hurt her and I steel feel really bad about that, Clearly Shane has hurt her and wild guess her Mom too. So when I am allowed to, I want to help her because life has clearly been shit and she doesn't deserve that." I froze. I was swearing. Janis must be rubbing off on me. "I'll talk to her Cads, but I can't make her do anything." I nodded before deciding on hugging him. Damien gives the best hugs out of anyone, besides Janis of course. "Hug?" I ask and he opens his arms and I hold on to him, his arms wrapping round to hug me. "Thanks." I whisper. "Cady Marie Heron, You do NOT have to thank me for the basic human right that is a hug. I laughed quietly and he joined me in laughing. 

Janis came back with some snacks and chucked some towards Damien. "Here you go gays." Damien and I, not fully recovered from our last laugh burst into laughter again at such a stupid joke, I was laughing so hard I rolled over and fell off the bed which in turn, after making sure I was okay, made Janis laugh. If hurting my butt was what it took to make her laugh then my can gain some bruises, anything for me to be able to hear her laugh, her laugh is sweet but loud and funny, usually more so than the joke itself. Janis pulled me to my feet and then we sat down on her bed and started to make a plan for today. I unfortunately was busy on Sunday so couldn't hang out tomorrow. "My Mom got a new job at the zoo and I persuaded her to take me to meet the lions." I Was so excited for seeing the lions, they're the one thing I missed about Africa, that and the amount of stars but Janis takes me stargazing with her, the middle school obsession she had with space does come in handy. We decided to just hang out in Janis' room, we talked and ate snacks.

When it came to around 2 pm I unfortunately had to head home, luckily I only lived a short walk from Janis and as I went to leave I hugged Damien and I went to hug Janis but she had other ideas, She placed a hand on my cheek and tilted my face up to kiss her. "Text me when you get home okay?" I nodded and then closed the distance between us. The kiss was gentle and soft yet firm. Janis' hands rested on my hips and mine were draped over her shoulders. Damien cleared his throat and I pulled back to glare at him, it seems Janis had the same idea and she was death glaring him. I finished saying goodbye and I began to walk home. I got home and my parents weren't there so I went up to my room and took my phone out to text Janis.
