My Roommate

Part 9: Opening Old Wounds

Brian was on top of me. Trying to undo my pants as I was thrashing around. I kicked and yelled only to be held down tighter. "Help, help. Help me!" I screamed over and over again.

"Hey, hey. Nic it's okay. No one is here but me." Ash woke me up out of my reoccurring nightmare. He sat on the edge of my bed and rubbed my back in soothing circles. I shot up and wrapped myself around him. When he was near me I felt safe. I didn't have to worry about what Brian would do. Ash would protect me from him. 

"Thank you for waking me up."

"No problem. Will you ever tell me what happened? I'm assuming this had to do with Brian?" Ash asked. I really needed to tell him but I just don't want to relive the memory that is still haunting my brain.

"I don't know if I can. It hurts to think back to the accident." That was the truth.

"So was he your boyfriend?"

"Do you really want to know?" Ash shook his head yes. "And you won't judge me by what I'm about to tell you?"

"Nic I would never judge you. You are beautiful inside and out. I don't care what you've been through. It just made you stronger."

"Okay I will try to tell you." I unwrapped my arms from around ash and I leaned up against the wall. Ash leaned back and wrapped his arm around my shoulder to comfort me.

"It was two years ago. Brian added me on snap and started talking to me. He eventually became controlling and he almost seemed obsessed with me. I broke it off. When me and my friend went to the next school party I was dragged into a bedroom. Brian and his crazy friend started to undress me. They both rammed into me time after time. I was a virgin before they did that. Both of them inserted themselves into the same spot. They raped me."

"After that night Brian spread stuff around the school saying that I had the loosest girl thing in the entire school. He spread a bunch of other nasty rumors. It ruined my reputation. I never went to the police because I couldn't get myself to tell anyone the story. You are the only one that I've told. Please don't tell anyone." I finish and I have tears running down my cheeks.

"That prick deserves to be locked in a jail cell for what he did. I'm so sorry Nic. If I had known I would've did something sooner when I saw him." I shake my head.

"No. It's not your fault. And don't be sorry. He made me who I am today. He made me stronger."

"He still should be in jail. Thank you for telling me. I won't tell anyone." He pulled me closer for a side hug.

"You deserved to know since you keep having to help me with stuff about him." I shrug.

"Want me to stay in your bed with you?" I nod yes.

We both laid down on my bed and I pulled the covers up and over our heads. I hugged him tight and we fell back asleep.

When I finally woke back up ash wasn't in my bed anymore. I looked around the room and didn't see him so I guessed he went out by himself.

*knock knock*

I got up to open the door thinking it was ash. I thought it was weird since he has a keycard but maybe he lost it.

I opened the door and came face to face with the person I least wanted to see. "Hey babe. Want to go for a ride."

"No brian. Get away from my room and me. Your a disgusting pervert that takes things way to far."

"Oh I'm the pervert. Your the one that fucked me and my best friend at the same time." How dare he even blame me for that when he had me held to the bed.

"Your a bastard. You know damn well that I didn't willingly do that with you and your best friend. You held me against the bed to get your own way."

"Leave my girlfriend alone." Shouted a deep voice from the door of the stairs. My eyebrows went up but then I hurriedly returned my face to normal.

"So you are fucking the loose slut. Just stay out of this. It's between me and her." Brian snarled.

"No. I will not stay out of this. Nic is a wonderful girl and the sweetest one I've ever met. You should be rotting in prison for what you did to her and god knows how many other girls. You're sick. Nic didn't do anything to deserve any of this. She's amazing."

"I feel so bad for you. You think she cares about you but she don't. She will just use you to get what she wants. As soon as she gets a ride off your dick she will dump your ass."

"I suggest you leave and stay away from our dorm before i make you."

"You don't scare me."

"I'd say i would if you knew who my family is." Now I'm curious. Who's his family. He's not dangerous is he.

"And who would that be? Tinker bell?"

"Have you heard of Andrew Jacobs? I could have him and his group on you with one touch of a button." Ive never heard of that guy before but apparently Brian has because he started backing up very slowly and then took off down the elevator.

Ash opened the door and handed me a coffee. "I went to get breakfast but they were out so I got coffee. I'm glad I came back so quick though."

"Yeah thanks. I wouldn't have got far with him. He doesn't listen to anything I say. I think he needs to be checked into a hospital. The times we were talking he sometimes was normal then he would get in these weird moods and want everyone dead. It was weird."

"I've never heard you curse so much since I've known you let alone all in one sentence." Ash chuckled.

"It just came." I shrugged. "Oh by the way, girlfriend?" I asked with a laugh.

"I was hoping I would seem as more of a threat if I was your boyfriend but I guess not." He shrugged.

"Thank you for saying all that nice stuff about me. You didn't have to."

"What I said was true. You are beautiful and amazing. I'm just so sorry you have to deal with him."

"All the things he said wasn't true. I would never as he said it ride and then dump you. I've never had sex before besides the time him and his friend did that."

"I didn't believe him anyways. I know you better than that to see that your not a whore. The whole time you've been staying here I've only seen you talk to me and your brother."

"Who's Andrew Jacobs?" I blurted out. I needed to know.
