Chapter 8 - She Was Raped?

Edited ✅😃

It was midnight when my phone rang, I groaned rolling over in bed, feeling Steve's hard body collide with my nose. "Ouch." I muttered, I got up checking the caller ID on my phone, it showed a silly picture I had taken of Hannah. I slid the on button, pressing the phone to my ear and whispering a raspy, "Hello?" I could hear sniffles on the other side as Hannah's voice came out, breaking, "I woke you." She whispered, I could tell she had been crying as her voice sounded raw.

"No, no. It's okay, I'm awake. Are you okay?" She sniffled more, "Ryan and I were in the park. Our third date was going so well and then he drove me home. He asked me if my parents were home and I said no and then he came in. And at first, he was sweet but then he started to kiss me and...and-" She broke down in tears again. "Babe, slow down. Take a deep breath. Did he hurt you?" I asked and she was silent for a long time on the other side, I heard nothing before she whispered, "We'll talk tomorrow." I sighed, agreeing with her since I was drowsy and couldn't do her any good right now, "Mkay. Talk to you tomorrow, try to sleep, babe." She sniffled one last time and hung up.

I threw my phone onto the side of the bed, Steve's arm pushing me into his strong embrace as his lips found my neck, "Sleep." he muttered groggily and I closed my eyes, finding peace in his arms.

Saturday was supposed to be my day at home, but since I was almost 18, I exercised my right to defy my mother. I kissed her goodbye as she glared at me, walking to the back alleyway where Steve was sitting on his bike. "Ready to go?" He asked and I nodded, shouldering my tiny purse. I got on behind him, my arms clasping around his thick waist.

"Careful with your hands, doll." He said, shooting me a wink and I grinned, "Sorry, Cap." He revved the engine, flying onto the street almost immediately after I put on my helmet. When we reached Hannah's house, I kissed him on the cheek and ran up the steps, clicking the doorbell. Steve zoomed away to God knows where as he looked over his shoulder one last time before focusing on the road.

I shifted my attention to the closed door, when it swung open, Hannah standing there, her knees weak as she squinted at me. Eyeliner and mascara was running down her cheeks, her lips swollen and red. Her hair was messed up and she was wearing a simple bathrobe. She ushered me in before closing the door and locking it, taking a deep breath as she slumped down to the floor.

I opened my arms, cradling Hannah into them, "Babe, what happened?" I asked softly. "Now I know how you must have felt. It feels dehumanizing, cruel and disgusting. God, you went through so much, I'm sorry Meg." I shook my head, my fingers weaving through her locks, "It's okay, why are you sorry?" Her shoulders shook, "I...I wasn't there for you when you got raped, by your own father." I shook my head, struggling to hold in my own tears, "Hey, it's okay." I looked at her broken face, "Did he rape you?" I asked, she shuddered, closing her eyes as the tears fell freely from her eyes.

She shook under my embrace which helped me to answer my own question, "Hannah?" I said softly, she took a deep breath. "He put it in and I screamed at the painful contact since I was a virgin and it hurt when he shoved it in and he got scared and bolted." I shook my head, feeling anger pent up in my chest, I was going to kill Ryan. "Let me see." I said, her eyes widened, frantically she shook her head no, "I've seen you naked before, just so I know if we have to take you to the hospital." "My parents can't know." She whispered, "I won't let them." She nodded, slowly getting up and stripping off her robe.

I walked her over to her couch and told her to lay down. My hands found their way to her warmth gently as I opened her folds, looking at the red rawness of her skin. I hissed, just looking at her brought back bad memories, there was a little bit of blood and I knew I had to take her to the hospital. "Babes, we're going to have to go to the hospital." Her eyes widened, "No they'll call the police and then my parents will find out."
