Trigger Warning: Rape
(Clair's POV)
I sigh as I walk down the street. I'm sick and tired of living with my friend. I mean i shouldn't crash with her because I don't want to live in some sick orphanage.
I sigh as I lean against a brick wall and light up a cigarette. Yes, I'm only 16yrs old but my life is already hell so who the fuck cares.
I get a notification on my phone that Superfruit uploaded a new video to youtube. I'm definitely going to watch that later.
I take another drag from my cigarette as a man comes to me "hey." I sigh "hi." He looks me up and down and says "what's a pretty thing like you doing out here by yourself?" I scoff at this creep "I'm 16." The man bit his lip "that's never stopped me before."
My eyes widen as he grabs my arm, making me drop my cigarette, he Yanks me behind a wall in the dark alley way and I try to scream for help but he covers my mouth as he starts groping me "Shhhh, don't fight it." He says as I keep fighting and trying to yell for help as he starts lifting up my skirt.
(Mitch's POV)
"Fuck, I love creamsicles." I say to Scott as we walk out of the ice cream parlor and I start sucking on the ice cream bar. Scott laughs "I know you do you slut." I laugh as Scott bites into his chocolate ice cream.
We walk down the side walk and talk about stupid shit as we sit on a bench and finish our ice creams. We throw out garbage away and keep walking down the street as Scott and I take a selfie. I look at the picture and gasp "we're sooo fucking cute." Scott nods and posts the pic on snapchat.
We turn a corner and I stop once I hear someone pleading and struggling. I stop Scott in the middle of his sentence "do you hear that?" Scott listens closely and we look at each other and start running down the street.
We turn the corner to see a girl struggling with all her might as the guy is on top of her, thrusting hard and recklessly. He groans "take it you little slut!" Scott and I run towards them and Scott throws the guy off the girl as the girl falls to the floor in a sobbing mess. I go to her and hold her as I try my best to soothe her.
Scott grabs the guy by the throat and punches him hard. The guy gets up with a terrified look on his face and runs away. Scott goes to chase him but I stop him "Scott! We have to get her to a hospital."
Scott nods and I take one of her arms and wrap it around my neck. Scott goes to take the other arm but the girl flinches away. Scott gives me a worried look and I go to the girl "hey, don't worry ok? We're both here to help. May he help you?" I speak on his behalf.
The girl slowly nods and Scott takes her other arm gently as he wraps it around her neck as we both lift her off the ground. She's limping and we walk slowly to the car.
I place her gently in the back and I sit next to her and Scott gets in the driver's seat to start the car.
Once Scott starts driving I try to get her to open up a little "my names-" she cuts me off in a little weak voice "y-you're M-Mitch and S-S-Scott. I know....I'm a fan." She doesn't smile once and I get it because of what just happened to her.
I give her a tiny smile "can you tell us your name sweetie?" She wrapped her arms around her torso and quietly says "C-Clair." I nod "ok. Um...is there any family I could call or?" She shakes her head slowly "I-I'm an o-orphan." Scott and I share a look through the rearview mirror.
Scott pulls up to the hospital and tells us to wait in the car. He goes into the hospital and soon doctors and nurses come swarming out with a wheel chair and I get out of the car to help Clair to sit down in the wheel chair.
They rush her inside and Scott grabs my hand as we go into the waiting room. I sigh as I let go of his hand and go to one of the nurses "can we go with her? Please." The nurse rolls her eyes "she's a rape victim. I don't think she wants to makes in the examination room with her." My eyes widen and I walk away from the nurses station. I can't deal with that shit right now.
Scott walks up to the nurses station "look he's my fiance and we helped her so we want to be in that room right now because God knows she needs fucking support right now." The nurse sighs "fine. You may go in." I sigh as Scott nods "thank you."
We go to the examination room and see her in the hospital room, laying down on the bed. I speak through my tears forming in my eyes "hi...I hope it's ok we're here." She nods "it's f-fine."
The lady who is supposed to give the examination walks in and says "Ok, Clair...we are going to take pictures of your injuries ok?" Clair weekly nods and I watch as she starts taking pictures and I have to look away as she shows her bruises and cuts. Scott rubs my back comfortingly.
After the pictures she says "now we are going to be doing the examination. Would you like these two gentlemen to stay with you?" Clair nods slowly and the nurse smiles "ok. Now just relax." As the nurse starts taking the q-tip and starts doing the examination Clair grabs on to my hand in pain.
I smile comfortingly at her and she relaxes a little. After the examination this young woman walks "hi, I'm Valerie, I'm going to be asking you a few questions first, ok?" Scott speaks up "I'm sorry but who are you?" Valerie speaks up "I'm going to be the attorney on the case and if I am going to represent her I need the full story."
Valerie looks back at Clair and says "is there any one I can contact?"Clair sighs "my best friend. I've been living with her and her parents recently." Valerie nods "what about your parents?" Clair avoids eye contact "I'm an orphan...I...I ran away from the orphanage."
Valerie writes that down and says "have you ever been sexually active before this incident?" Clair shakes her head. Valerie then asks "how old are you?" Clair sniffles "16." And that's when I lose it "I'm sorry." I run out of the room and to the nearest bathroom that's thankfully empty.
I alamo open the stall door and crouch near it, immediately spilling the contents of what I've had earlier into the toilet.
I feel a hand start rubbing my back and I can tell it's Scott's right away.
After I am done throwing up I sit on the floor next to the toilet and lean my head back on the stall wall. Scott sits next to me and I start feeling the tears run down my face "she's sixteen Scott. Six fucking teen." I start sobbing and Scott gently shushes me as he pulls me into his side "shhhh, I know...I know...just breathe baby." I shake my head "I can't...I can't...." I start hyperventilating and Scott sighs "yes, you can just follow my me. In....out..." I repeat his breathing, mine slowing down a little.
I sigh as Scott kisses the top of my head once I've calmed myself down a bit "how about we go back in there and be there for her, ok?" I nod, wiping my tears and get up, Scott following my movements.
We go back to the room to hear Valerie saying "ok, we're gonna call the adoption agency and-" I cut her off without thinking "No!....I mean...I-" Scott cuts me off "what if we adopt her?" Valerie sighed "it doesn't work that way, you guys need to be inspected to see if your place is a safe environment, you guys would have to do paperwork and what not." Scott nods "we will. Just let her...let her live with us in the meantime." Valerie looked between me, Scott and Clair.
"Fine. You can discharge her now." We sigh as we discharge her to take her to our home.
----------------------
It has been two weeks since that night and right now Scott and I were in court in front of the judge as he spoke "Mr. Grassi and Mr. Hoying, I now pronounce you both as Clair's legal guardian." Clair ran to us and engulfed us in a hug.
We were now one big, happy family.
