Inevitable Turns

24.Hard times

Joshua's P.O.V

Leaving Iz to talk to her mom I go to get some drinks.The party was fine but something about it gives be a weird feel.Maybe it is because it was a boat or that everyone was in black, or that everyone wore masks,hiding their identity .Call it a gut feeling;something was off.When Iz told me about the party I was chill about it but then there was something off with that guy when I meet him.As I walked by I meet Victoria.She was from my Spanish class and did have a crush on me.I told her I was taken and she seemed pretty crushed but she hangs out with this group of ours in Spanish so I don't really mind her.

"And then he won the game.I mean like actually,in beer pong,"she tells me as I hear someone screaming my name.I turn about to see Leilani and the look on her face .She seems to be in panic and dread.

"Woah,what happened?,"I aske as she pants motioning to me something I can't really understand pointing towards the stairs.

"Izzie,"she says panting as I try and makes sense of what she's talking about.Iz was fine when I left her and barely anything could happen to her but the look on Leilani's face was telling a different story. Her next words confirmed the story, "I think she's in trouble."

"What are you talking about?"I put my hand on her shoulder comfortingly.

"Just come with me,"she heads towards the stairs my adralanine kicking in.Where's no way anything could happen to her.Barely anyone passed down the stairs and yes I had been watching.There was no one,no one except....And that was all it took for me to dash down the stairs,bolting towards the door.I tried the handle but it was locked and then I hear her.

"Let go,get off me you jerk," making my heart beat faster and also clench at the same time. Knowing that banging the door down was going to take more time than me picking the lock.My hands were shaking with rage and anger if that hell of a human did anything to her he was going to pay.

"You taste so freaking good,"I hear him say as the lock click. Slamming the door open with my rage seeing red.My eyes zeroed in on him.He freaking has his entire self on her;strading her.He turns around but I don't give him anytime to react.Pulling him off her I smashed my hand into his nose and then kicked his stomach holding him in place I knee him again.He slumed onto the floor in agony as I go to Iz.When I saw her my mind wanted nothing more but to kill him.He hadn't just kissed her nor just tried and made a move on her.He freaking unzipped her dress revealing her bare chest which was only covered with a bra,her body was trembling and her eyes were locked on his body on the floor.I had to take care of him, but she was first.

"Iz,"I walk towards her as her eyes fliceker to mine. "Everything is going to be find alright.I'm here,"I crouch to her level gently reaching for her other hand.Taking the pin I jammed it in the center of the hancluff opening it.She embraces me tight as I rub her back. "It's okay,he can't do anything anymore,"I running my fingers through her hair and then I smell it;the disgusting smell of him on her.What did he do to her?Did he by any chance,I wondered as I felt her tears on my neck. "What.Did.He.Do?"I ask her as camly as I can but it was impossible.He violated her,her tried to have his way with her and he left her with a horrible memory;something she wouldn't be able to heal from.Most importantly he made her cry.I pull her back looking into her eyes but from the corner of my eye I noticed his hand aiming for me.

Pushing Iz gently on the bed I duck on time but his second hand gets be before I even have a chance.The hit had force, but accuracy and percision that was something he doesn't have.His blow hit my side but I was oblivious to it with rage brimming in my body.Turning around I kick him hard on his chest,making him stumbled back slightly,red liquid dripping off his nose horribly and I am glad coz he had a lot coming.He tries taking me again but I throw him on the ground punching his face over and over again.He derserved as off this and much worse.I never respect nor tolerate men who assault ,harass or rape women.But in this case it was just any woman,it was my woman and he wasn't going to have a chance at living an happy life anymore.
