Chapter 13

Please be aware that this chapter contains explicit contents of an attempted but failed rape. Please read at your discretion

It was Friday, and in the last two days, I had only received maybe four text messages from Vince. Every time I tried to call he wouldn’t answer, but sometimes I would get a text saying he was busy and would call me soon. I got one good morning text with an apology and one to say he was at court and was busy with a case. To say I was frustrated was an understatement. What started as the beginning of an amazing relationship was slowly fading away. Was it because of the distance? Was Vince really that busy? Is that why he never had a girlfriend, because he never had time? So many things and scenarios played in my head. Taylor felt sorry for me. She kept apologizing to her stupid brother and was trying to help me.

Taylor tried to cheer me up with outings and activities. She even called Blake and Rocky to help her take my mind off my failing relationship. However, when Friday rolled around, Rocky and she had to go see Rocky’s mum. She promised she would make it up to me as soon as she was back, but for now, I had to suffer alone at home.

After I finished work, I made my way home. Once I got to our apartment, I was welcomed by gloaming desolation.

I flicked on the kitchen lights, and there on the counter was a bouquet of roses and chocolates. A little card poked out of the flowers. I walked up and picked up the card.

“I’m sorry” was written across it in big letters.

“I’m sorry, babe” came a voice from behind me that made me jump.

“f**k Vince! What the hell!? You frightened me,” I said, trying to steady my heart.

“s**t, I’m sorry” he replied and quickly walked over to me. “I’m sorry for everything.” he went to hold me, but I stepped back.

“You’ve been avoiding and ignoring me. So no, you don’t get to hug me right now. What is going on with you?” Anger sipping through my words.

“I’ve been busy, Rosy. Being a lawyer isn’t easy, you know. I have court and clients and all sorts. Look, I’m sorry but I didn’t do it on purpose” he ran his hands through his hair.

“Okay, I understand but you don’t even get time to flick your girlfriend one text to say hi how are you? Is that so hard? Am I asking for so much!?” My voice was quite high now.

“No, no you're right, I should try harder. I didn’t mean to upset you. Please, I’m sorry” Vince wrapped his arms around my waist.

I pushed him away again. He was too eager to touch me.

“Look, I may be new to this relationship thing and I’m sorry if I sound too demanding but we’ve literally started and you’re already acting like an ass. Is this what it’s going to be like? I mean yes, we have distance between us and I’m willing to work on making this work but I can’t do it by myself," I kept my distance from Vince and chose my words wisely.

“Vince, I told you not to make me regret this and here we are not even a week later arguing.” I turned away from him.

“Babe, I said I’m sorry. I’m not good at this and you already know that. This is why I never had a committed relationship before but I want this to work with you. Come on, please. I’ll work on it and I promise it will be different.” He was begging and again came up from behind and wrapped his arms around me.

I sighed and closed my eyes.

Vince started to kiss my neck and my shoulder. I honestly didn’t feel like being touched so I started pushing him away.

“Vince, come on, let me go.” I pushed but he wouldn’t let go and kept kissing my neck and nibbling on my ear.

“Vince, please. Stop will you” I was wriggling harder now.

He let go of my waist and turned me around. Suddenly I was pushed up against the kitchen cupboard and Vince had his body pressed to mine.

“Vince, what the hell!? Let me go!!” I started pushing him harder and fighting against his hold.

“You know what the problem here is Rosy, you’re too uptight. Let me show you how to loosen up a little.” His words sounded more chilling than loving. Vince slammed his lips into mine and forced my mouth open. He grabbed my hands and pinned them above my head and used the other to massage my breasts.

I kept struggling and trying to push him away. He couldn’t do this to me! What had gotten into Vince?!

He let go of my breasts and yanked my shirt, popping all my buttons. The buttons went flying across the kitchen floor leaving my torso exposed. I felt tears slide down my cheeks and I pushed against him harder. His hands went down to my skirt and he started to pull my skirt up. Panic coursed through me and I wriggled harder, trying to pull my hands out of his grips. His weight was holding me down and his lips were pressed so tightly on mine I couldn’t even move them. He pushed my skirt higher and I could feel his hand on my thighs.

No god no! Please don’t let this happen. I thrashed my head around trying to free my lips but he was pressed so tightly against me that only my muffled screams could be heard.

He wedges his knees between my knees, forcing them open. I tried my hardest to keep my thighs pressed together but he was too strong and I could feel his hand going higher up my thighs. He pinched and squeezed my muscle making my skin crawl. I felt disgusted and just wanted him off me.

Just then the lift doors ding. Someone was on our floor. I mustered up every bit of strength and stomped my foot on Vince’s, making sure I hit him with the heel of my pumps. Vince recoiled to curse and look at his feet. He kept his grip on my hands. I used that chance to scream.

“HELLLLPPPPPPPPP” was all that came out as loud as I could. I kept going with all the strength I had before Vince cupped my mouth and started to shush me.

“What the f**k?! Just shut up! I’m your boyfriend and you still refuse to let me touch you. You expect me to keep daily contact and I expect you to satisfy my needs which you don’t seem to have any intention of doing” he spat out and pressed his weight against me pinning me against the cupboard.

Suddenly he was pulled away and thrown across the kitchen floor. I turned around to find Blake and Rocky standing over him with murderous expressions. Behind Rocky stood Taylor. Her face was white as a ghost, holding clear shock and disgust. I sank to the floor and started crying hard.

Taylor rushed over to me and hugged me tightly. She took off her jacket and covered me up. I could hear her shushing me, trying to calm me down. Blake and Rocky walked over and started punching and kicking Vince. Vince was yelling at them to stop. I hid my face in Taylor’s chest and cried harder.

“Boys stop! You’re upsetting Rosy even more. Get him out of here” Taylor yelled at them and both of them stopped. Vince rolled on the floor whining in pain.

“Come on, asshole! I’ll show you what it looks like to be kicked to the curb” Blake growled.

“I’ll help you do that mate” Rocky spat. They both grabbed Vince and pulled him to his feet.

“You are all gonna pay for this. Taylor, are you picking this girl over your brother?!” He spat at Taylor.

“Yes, you bastard, I am! Are you seriously this desperate for s*x that you’re willing to rape someone?! What the f**k is wrong with you? I can’t believe I even call you my brother,” Taylor yelled angrily..

“Really?! She doesn’t even deserve you, Taylor! She’s just like her mother! A w***e. Her mother willingly took her clothes off. I thought her daughter would do the same.” The words had only left his mouth, and my heart froze. I couldn’t breathe.

What did he just say?!

I stopped crying and looked up at Taylor. How the hell did he know? Taylor looked as shocked at Vince’s revelation as I felt. She looked down at me.

“Rosy... Rosy I swear I haven’t said anything” Taylor stuttered and shook her head vigorously.

I turned to look at Vince. “What did you just say?!” I asked him, trying to stand up. Taylor helped me.

“What?! Did you think you could hide your little secret forever?!” He was trying to push Blake and Rocky but they were holding him tightly with his hands crossed behind him.

“Blake, let's get him out of here” Rocky barked, understanding that Vince was crossing the line.

I watched them both drag a kicking and screaming Vince. He kept going on about how he was going to expose me to the world and tell everyone what I was and who my mother was.

Taylor hugged me tightly. “Rosy, I have to tell Mum and Dad about this. They will be able to help” she babbled.

“I don’t want them involved in this Tay. If Vince does what he's saying then maybe it’s a good idea to keep your parents away from the drama” I whispered and walked over to sit on a barstool. Taylor was right next to me. She had a bottle of water in her hands for me. I took it from her with my shaky hands and tried to drink some.

“Rosy, I’m so sorry... I didn’t know Vince would do something like this. My brother is a monster!? What happened to him?!” I could hear the hurt in her voice. I tried to calm myself down and took deep breaths.

The thought of all the things Vince could have done just played in my head. He was definitely not the guy that I had said yes to being in a relationship with. I turned around and hugged Taylor tightly. She hugged me back and we sat there with my crying echoing in the kitchen.

We stayed in that position for what seemed like an eternity. The guy's voice broke the ambience in the room. From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Rocky and Blake walking back into the apartment. Rocky walked over and hugged me from behind, trapping me between him and Taylor. Blake lingered at the other side of the kitchen counter, watching me closely.

“Rosy, it's going to be okay. We’re here for you. You know we would never let anything happen” Rocky tightened his arms around me. He was like a big brother. We had our fun banter and times where we joked with each other but I knew he was as protective as any big brother would.

I pulled away from Taylor and looked at Rocky. “Thank you” was all I managed and I hugged him. I looked over at Blake.

“Thank you,” I said as loudly as I could. Blake just nodded and smiled at me. His smile didn't reach his eyes. I could see the anger still burning in them.

I pulled away from Rocky. “I’m so glad you all turned up. All I heard was the lift door ding and thanked god for someone being there.” I looked around for them.

“Rosy....” Blake finally spoke. I looked at him. “Are you okay? Can we get you anything?” He asked. I could see the anger was replaced with concern in his eyes.

“No, I’m okay, thank you. Just trying to recover from the fact that I called him my boyfriend. My first boyfriend and what a great start. Just when I wanted to start opening up to new things and trusting new people” fresh tears poured down. Taylor hugged me again and she was crying too.

I calmed myself down. “I’m going to go take a shower. Rocky, do you mind just heating the food up for me, please? I’ll eat in bed.” I asked and he nodded.

“Have a couple of days off work, Rose. I’ll let Patrick know”, Blake said as I got up.

“Thank you. I would appreciate that.” I replied and gave the nicest smile I could manage.

Taylor helped me to my shower. I was clumsy and she knew this.

She let me go once I was in the bathroom and said something about getting me food and something to drink.

I stripped off and got into the shower. The hot water hit my body and I sank to the floor. I sat there hugging my knees as tears involuntarily poured down my face.

Vince knew the biggest secret of my life. How did he know?! Was he going to tell everyone the part of my life I’d worked so hard to hide? Had he met her?! Did she tell him?!?

So many questions were going through my head. Amongst that, another memory that Vince had made fresh in my head.... The memory of that dreadful day played in my head as well and I just closed my eyes trying to shut it off.

Why Vince why?!?! My tears were just not stopping. I was sitting in my shower crying over something that wasn’t my fault....
