I'm really glad I spoke to Noire today. It gives me some sort of calm feeling that everything is going to be fine. But the next day was not nice in any way.
I woke up a little bit moody and tired. Nick was so stupid to come to my house last night. It was not my thing to play adulteress hiding her lover in her wardrobe. Then again, Nick cannot be my lover. He wasn't the reason I woke up moody though. I had this feeling in my gut that something stupid was going to happen today. I was lazy to flat iron my hair so I left it like that. The curls look like the ones black Americans have. I'm not being racist or anything but I feel like some things just fit a particular set of people. For example I would freak out if I see a black with blue eyes.
I didn't feel comfortable with the curls so I tied my hair up in a messy bun then wore a black short gown that exposes one shoulder and has long sleeves. I also wore black converses and carried my back pack then went downstairs to have breakfast.
"Morning" I mumbled to my parents as I carried an apple and filled my glass with orange juice. They were already done with breakfast and Blake and I had not even started.
"How was your night honey?" My mum asked.
'Great" I replied,remembering the whole episode I had with Nick. Blake looked like he wanted to say something but he just kept his cool.
"We kinda have a lot of work so we will be going early"
My mom worked as a chef and also had a TV show so she is popular while my dad worked in a hospital as a surgeon. We aren't really rich but I'm contempt with what we have.
"Okay" Blake and I mumbled.
"Blake could you drop Savannah at school today? I just have a weird feeling that something is gonna happen" my dad said. Just great. I'm stuck with my jerk brother.
"Sure" he replied.
"Your lunch money is on the island by the way. Love you" my mom said and they left. I went to The car and waited for Blake to open it so I could enter.
"Sav?" He called.
No reply.
"Look I'm sorry for what I said yesterday about your friends okay? That was really messed up and when I said you were daddy's princess I swear I didn't mean it that way. Please forgive me" he pleaded with desperation evident in his voice. I c****d an eyebrow at him an he ran his hand through his hair.
"Please? I was going to apologize earlier but you were sort of busy I guess. I just really care about you despite The fact I can be a jerk sometimes and I don't want you to be hurt by any boy" he said further.
"Its fine. I forgive you bro. Can we not talk about it cuz I'm so f*****g sensitive on the topic and the whole fight?" I pleaded.
"Yeah sure. I'll tell on you for using swear words" he said smiling.
"so you are back to being grumpy?" I said laughing.
"Am I really grumpy?" I shot him an incredulous look.
"You're always like the jerk stepbrother and I'm the suffering Cinderella" I said with puppy eyes. He bursted out laughing and I chuckled a little.
"I guess I'll be nicer but don't get too comfortable"
I know I've been having bad vibes about today but I decided to brush it off. What could be better than Blake and I being cool with each other from the time we hit adolescence?
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
School was amazing today. Well that's a lie. I hear whispers around me whenever I pass by. Apparently No one wants to let go of what happened yesterday. Amber has been shooting me dirty looks all day. Can I really blame her? She lost her boyfriend I guess. I've been avoiding Nick and Alex and so far so good. My last period was library and I find it hard to concentrate in such places so I left only twenty minutes into The period. I was taking a walk around the back of school when I heard a twig snap. Someone was following me. And true to my suspicions, a group of boys who I recognized as boys from the basketball team were hot on my heels.
"Look guys, I guess little red riding hood lost her way to her grand ma's!" Wait a minute! That voice is familiar. I turned around to see about seven boys and in their midst was Jesse. Great. Now I'm in deep s**t.
"Miss me,princess?" Jesse said with an evil smirk. I felt so irritated by the mere sight of him.
"What exactly are you guys coming at?" I asked boldly.
"Wanna dance with me?" He asked again, not quite answering my question.
"I'm not drunk today. So I suggest you leave me alone" I said standing my ground.
The boys laughed at me like I didn't know what I was saying.
"You don't feel remorse for chasing after a girl who is younger than you? Bullies really?"
"It seems you came to see your sweetheart Nick to probably give him a private and nice treat. After the whole drama you displayed yesterday. That was really touching you know. Nick doesn't fight for a girl"
"Thanks for the information. Now leave" I said sternly. The boys laughed again and I was getting tired of their display. Jesse came closer and started eye raping me.
"Sorry to break it to you but you can't show off your legs and everything to Nick because he has football practice. Why don't you give us the treat so that The resources don't go to waste? I really don't like wastage" he said,trying to trace his finger down my arm. I withdrew it and slapped him.
"How dare you?" I seethed.
"Anger will do you no good. I suggest you beg although it won't change our intentions" he said and tried to grab my arm. I dodged him and then used my leg to sweep him off his feet. I made a run for it seeing I was out numbered. I was running deep into the woods but they were still on my heels. There was no use running as they would surely catch up with me. I had to fight them. The first one tried to grab me but I kicked his crotch and he went staggering back. The next one tried to attack me but I stepped to The side and hit his head so hard to make him pass out.
"Give up already baby. You're out numbered" Jesse said smirking.
"We will take it easy on you" he coaxed and I felt sick in my gut. They were surrounding me and I was now in their middle. I knew something bad was going to happen today but this is just too much. How would boys that were in school and had lives to live try to r**e a girl?
"Guys she is having a panic attack" one of the boys said. I didn't notice I was clutching my chest and gasping for air. I tried to stand up and fight but my legs gave out on me.
"Good. It makes it easier for us" Jesse said as I screamed.
"How...How can y-you be so ....Mean? Y-you... C-could go to...prison" I tried to stand up again but I fell down to the floor again and my knees gave out on me. Tears rolled down my eyes as they were coming closer to me.
"D-don't come near...me" I said trying to crawl away from them. They laughed as they pulled my legs towards their greedy selves. I kicked and punched aimlessly at them. They started lifting up my dress and I tried to scream. Breathe Savannah. Breathe.
"Someone help me!" I screamed as I calmed a little from my panic attack. Jesse dealt a blow in my head and stomach and I screamed again at the unimaginable pain. My panic attack was worsening all over again.
Suddenly, Nick and Kyle came in a blur and beat up all of them. I was dizzy now and I was still clutching my chest,feeling the oxygen leave me.
"s**t Kyle she's having a panic attack and they Still tried to r**e her. I swear I'm gonna kill them .Savannah please just breathe. Calm down for me okay? Just breathe in and out. In...." He said holding me in his arms but I couldn't hear everything as I sank into oblivion.

I woke up to the beeping of a monitor. My head felt so heavy and I couldn't see well. I tugged at my hand to see a drip attached to it. I tried to disconnect it but it broke and my hand was bleeding. I screamed at the immense pain as I felt people rushing into my room. What am I doing here? What's going on? Where am I?
"She's having a panic attack again. Get me some sedatives' an unfamiliar voice yelled. Almost immediately, I feel a bitter sweet pain and I passed out again.
I wake up sweating like I'm in a burning furnace after a horrible nightmare. I almost got r***d again by that ass hole in the dream and Nick was supposed to be my knight in shining armor then I landed in a hospital. Except that I'm still in a hospital and this is not a dream. What have I gotten myself into? I checked for my phone but I realized that I wasn't wearing my clothes again so it isn't here. There was a bandage on my head and my stomach hurt like a b***h. It's very dark outside so it is already night time. Just great. I'm gonna starve to death. Just then, Nick entered my hospital room with a take away from a Chinese restaurant. Aww. That's so sweet. I look at him blankly in pretence that I'm not hungry. But my stomach betrays me and growls. I looked down and stared at my annoying stomach as Nick chuckled.
"I know you're hungry so I got you food to eat. Kyle told me you love Chinese food except for sushi." He said sitting beside me. I look at him quizzically and end up breaking into a smile.
"How did you enter the hospital? I thought the visiting hours are over"
"I have my ways baby" he said and tried to feed me.
"Now eat up" I shot him an incredulous look and sank my head into The pillow.
"I'm not a baby Nick. I can feed myself"
"I insist" he said stubbornly.
"No. I'm strong enough"
"Says the girl who gets a panic attack from seeing too many boys" I scrunched my nose up and pouted.
"How can you use that to make fun of me? Your sense of humor is horrible" he laughed and dropped the chopsticks.
"But you still like it. If you don't wanna pass out I suggest you let me feed you before you die" I rolled my eyes as I took the first bite but end up closing my eyes while savoring the taste. I open one eye and see him smirking at me.
"Just give me the goddamn food and stop smirking" I said and he continued feeding me.
"Someone's desperate" I mentally choke on the food or at least I thought. I ended up spitting all the food in my mouth on his face. The expression he had on his face was priceless. I laughed at him as he went to the bathroom in my ward to clean up the mess I made. I kept on laughing heartily as I ate my food happily. Nick reappeared with a look on his face like he just rolled in a dumpster.
"I told you not to feed me but you just wouldn't listen" I said to defend myself. Nick playfully glared at me and I continued laughing.
"You should have seen your face dude. It was priceless"
"Says the person with a bandage over her head and again, no bra"
I blushed at what he said and tried to cover my chest. He is so annoying. It was his turn to laugh and he really utilized it to it's full potential. The bastard.
"it isn't my fault" I said pouting.
"You really should stop wearing bras anyway. It looks amazing on you"
I carried any object within my reach and threw it at him
"You shameless pervert! I can't believe you were staring"
He moved closer to me and I can swear that his eyes darkened.
"One day you'll let me look without much begging. That, I promise you" I glared at him a bit annoyed at his guts.
"I'm not one of your easy f***s"
He looked at me in what I could guess as anger.
"You aren't one of them Sav. You're far much more valuable" I c****d an eyebrow at him but he just kissed my forehead and murmured good night then left.
