Roses and Thornes

Chapter 23

TW: AFTER MATH OF RAPE

Haylee woke up in a new surroundings, she felt movement on the other side of the mattress. Haylee turns her head to see a man on the other side of her. Haylee looks down at her body to see a baggy shirt on. The shirt definitely wasn't hers. Haylee slowly put her feet over her bed and grabbed her phone and grabbed pants to put on, they weren't hers, but she didn't want to go outside without pants on. Haylee slowly opened the front door. Once Haylee stepped outside and softly closed the door, she quickly put on her pants and looked at her phone.

Haylee had so many missed calls and texts from Abby and Noah. She understands why, she was taken and to drunk to do anything about it. Haylee walked down the apartment stairs and called Abby.

Abby picked up immediately

"HAYLEE WHAT THE HELL?"

"I'm sorry! I got way too drunk, a-and this gu-y he uh."

"wait wait, did you tell him no?"

"i-I don't remember, I thought you grabbed my arm and put me in the car and then I fell asleep."

"oh hunny I'm sorry, send me your location and I will come get you, Noah has been worried sick and hasn't slept all night."

"O-okay, I want to get away from his apartment first just in case something bad happens."

"Okay, do you want to stay on the phone with me? Make you feel safer?"

"Actually, can you give the phone to Noah?", Haylee asked as she walked up the street to the busiest road.

"Ok course babe N-oah!?", Haylee heard Abby scream for Noah

"Hello? Haylee?"

"Hey Noah"

"W-why didn't you listen to me?"

"N-noah I'm sorry I just, i-", Haylee felt her nose start to sting as she felt tears roll down her cheeks.

"Hey, Hey I'm sorry, I just don't know what happened."

"i-I don't want to talk about it right now." Haylee said as she sent the address to Abby's phone.

"Do you want me to come pick you up?"

"Abby is going to, but you can come if you want to."

"Yeah of course, I will get her, stay safe."

"Please hurry"

"I will, bye"

"bye"

Haylee sat on the corner of the street, and pulled her knees to her chest, and cried. It didn't help that Haylee felt like absolute garbage.

There was a car that turned onto the street, Haylee looked up to see Noah and Abby get out of the car.

Both Noah and Abby grabbed Haylee's arms to help her up, Haylee saw their expression of worry fall on their face. Abby and Noah helped Haylee get into the car. Noah got in the back seat with Haylee and put his arm around her.

Haylee fell into Noah's chest and cried.

Eventually they got home, Haylee was still crying softly. Noah carefully picked her up out of the car and went into the house, Noah slowly walked up the stairs and into Haylee's room. Abby followed with a glass of water.

Noah placed Haylee on her bed and sat at the foot of her bed.

"Do you want to tell us what happened?", Noah asked "I will tell you, just don't say anything or make any sorts of eye contact with me.", Haylee's voice was raspy from crying and screaming. "Ok, we promise.", Abby said as she sat next to Noah.

Haylee told them, she couldn't go into detail, she wasn't ready yet. She was filled with rage and sadness. It was her first time, with someone she didn't even know.

Haylee looked up at her two friends, Haylee could tell Noah was angry, along with Abby.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you Haylee, we will help you get through it okay?", Noah said as he made eye contact finally with Haylee. Haylee could tell that Noah was holding back his feelings.

"thank you guys", Haylee smiled
