The New Neighbor

Hurt

                      He plops me down on his bed and we go back to the position we were in before. I keep running my hand threw his hair and tugging on it. He keeps letting out the cutest noises. I stop for a moment and he opens his eyes. His breathing is slow and calm. "Again really?" He wines and I climb on top of him. My legs are resting at his sides and his bright green eyes are staring in mine. "Oh sorry let me get off so I can rub your head" I say while moving off him. He stops me and puts me back on his lap. "You don't want to move," He says and I blush. I wiggle a little and he groans. "What's wrong?" I ask and he smirks. I know what is wrong, His face flushes a light pink and his smile grows. I giggle and lightly kiss him on the lips. "What was that for?" He asks me and tilts his head. He is cute, If i'm being completely honest I have no clue why I just kissed him. "I-I don't know" I say and shrug. My phone dings from the dresser. I get off Hardin and go over. When I see his name my heart stops. I drop my phone and stand there in shock. Hardin gets up and moves me to his bed. He goes over to the floor and picks my phone off the ground. He reads the name and looks at me confused. "Who is this?" He asks and sets my phone on the nightstand. I feel a lump forming in my throat and I try to hold my tears back.

A few minutes later I look at Hardin and I know I have glossy eyes. He gives me a hug and I feel safe. I keep thinking about what that text said. 'I know about your new boy. I know where you are and how to find you. I will find you and rape you, Like I was supposed to last time. No one will find you and I will keep you forever.' I wanna cry. How in the hell did he find me? I wanna run far away. I hate my life right now. I know if it wasn't like this I would have never met Hardin and I'm happy I found him. I smile at the thought and then frown. What if he hurts Hardin? What if he hurts Hardin's family? What about my mom? I feel the tears hitting my cheeks and I look away from Hardin. He lifts my chin and I smile. "Who is he and what does he mean 'like last time?' I swear Tess if he tries to hurt you I will not hesitate to kill him" Hardin's words calm me a little and I look into his deep green eyes. "He- He is the one that grabbed me that night. He tried to rape me but I didn't let him. He only touched me. I-I felt gross. I've never been touched before and I wasn't about to have some psycho take my virginity." I say and he nods. He pulls me closer and I sob into his chest. I love the way he makes me feel. How his breathing is slow and his touch is gentle. He always listens and never judges. He tries to understand and even when he doesn't he still can comfort me. He makes me feel like I can do anything. I sigh and break the hug. I look at him and smile. He returns one back and I see two dimples appear on the side of his cheeks. I poke them and he giggles. "So what are we?" I ask, I want him to be mine but if we're only friends I'm cool with that. "What do you want me to be?" He questions and I feel my cheeks turn red. "M-my Bo-boyfriend" I stutter and stand up. He grabs my arm as I'm about to leave and pulls me to him. He stares into my eyes for a second then crashes his lips to mine. A small moan escapes his lips and I smile. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer. I grab the back of his neck and kiss him harder. He moans again and I follow him. He lays on the bed and I crawl on top of him and we never break our kiss. I start rocking my hips and he moans once again. I can feel him getting hard. I moan into his mouth and he grabs my hips. He stops my movements. I break the kiss and whimper at the loss of contact. "Wh-Why did you st-stop?" I say out of breath. "Because you have no idea what you do to me." He says and my stomach fills with butterflies. I know what I did to him. "I know what I did," I say and smirk. He laughs and I fall to his side. He gets up and leaves. He walks out of the door and I check my phone and see I have one new text. I open it and see it from my mom. 'Hey I was just wondering where you were. Love mom' That's weird she never says love mom I get worried and rush to find Hardin. I bang on the bathroom door and his voice returns a noise. "What?" All I hear. "Can you open the food please" I cry and bang on the door. Less than 5 seconds later the door opens and I met with Hardin and his green eyes. I wrap my arms around his waist and he does the same. "Hey tell me whats wrong" He whispers and caresses my back. "Th-that man the one th-that texted me he has my m-mom" I manage to say. I feel Hardin tense up and he lets go of me and walks to get his phone. I see him call 911 and then he grabs a gun and walks out of the house. I follow him and he walks in my house. I see a man standing there with his pants down. My mom is on the ground with tears and ripped bloody clothes. I know this is my fault. I grab Hardin's arm and squeeze it. I feel so much pain for her. Hardin walks up to the man and punches him across the face. I rush to the phone and call 911 again. The dispatcher picks up and with her stupid voice says "911 what's your emergency?" I tell her my address and that my mom has been raped and that she is bleeding. I am ripped away from the phone by a hand. That hand covers my mouth and I try to scream. "HELL-" I am slapped before I can finish the word. I fall to the ground and soon I see blue and red lights. I am pulled off the ground and I am set on a bed. "Har-Hardin?" I say and I am pulled away. "I'm right here baby" I hear his voice and I smile. I feel his hand grab mine and I feel safe again. "Did they hurt you?" I ask him and his grip tightens. "No," He says and a small voice. "I love you" I say and then my vision goes black. I can hear everything but I can't see. I can't talk or move.

When I wake up I am in a light room with open windows. I look around the room and see Hardin laying on the couch sleeping. I smile and try to move. I rotate so I'm on my side. A few minutes later a doctor comes into my room causing Hardin to wake up. "Miss young your awake" She says and Hardin sits up and rushes over to me. "How are you feeling" He rushes out and I smile. "Im okay" He sighs and sits in the chair next to my bed. "When can I go home?" I ask the doctor. I hope I can today. "You can head home in about 4 hours. You will have to be on bed rest and use a wheelchair. You have a broken leg and you were stabbed in the side." She says and I feel a sharp pain in my side. I sigh and nod. "You will also have to avoid physical activity for 2-3 weeks." The doctor then leaves and I try to hold my tears back. I fail and break out crying. I hate how I put everyone in danger. I don't even know if my mom is okay. "Is my mom okay?" I ask and look at Hardin. He doesn't answer, he just looks away. "Ummm. She wasn't there when they showed up. They took her when I tried to save her. You were behind me one second and the next you were on the ground. When I turned back around your mum was gone. I am so so sorry Tess." He says and I curl up into a ball and cry. I feel him crawling on my bed and he wraps his arms around my waist. I flinch from the pain and he lets go. "Sorry" He apologies and I shake my head. "No it's okay, can you hold me?" I ask and he wraps his arms around me once again.  I close my eyes and fall asleep.
