Teaching A Thing Or Two

Chapter 11 Offering

Finley's POV

Sunny and I sit on the bench leaning against each other as I stroke my hand gently over her long, soft hair, just calming her down as much as I can while she continues to wipe her tears away.

"Do you feel any better?" I ask her as she shrugs her shoulders. "A little."

"Ok, that's at least a step in the right direction.. but we should be heading back to your place now, sweetie.. I told your parents that I would find you and bring you back so I don't want them to worry." I explain to her as she spats, "My mom doesn't give a s**t about me." This makes me so sad that she would think this.

"Well, I know for sure your dad does so no matter what we need to get back to him." I explain as she groans, nodding in response, just knowing I'm right about that. You can tell how much her dad loves her, but I honestly can't say the same thing about her mother.

"Ok, fine, let's go, Finn." She agrees reluctantly.

"Oh, what do we have here? Why so upset, ladies?" This is heard from besides us as we both jump, turning to see a man who is staring at us with a malicious smirk apparent across his face. I decided to take the lead, speaking up for us.

"Thank you, but nothing to worry about, sir, just getting ready to head back home.. have a good night." I say to him as I stand up quickly with Sunny's arm in my grasp. Helping her stand quickly, staying in my grip because I have a bad feeling about this.

"Oh, come on, I bet I could turn that frown upside down for you, cutie." He says, staring straight at Sunny as I push her behind me instinctively out of protectiveness.

"No, we are fine without any extra assistance, thank you.. have a good night." I say, trying to cut this conversation off, so I put myself in between Sunny and the man as we slowly back up away from him. "Oh, I plan on having a good night." He says to us as he steps closer.. but for every step forward he takes, we take one step backward.

That is until Sunny squeaks, we quickly turn around as I see a man right behind us, so I suddenly grab her, pulling her behind me again, away from the multiple men.

"Come on.. really, ladies, this could be so much fun for all of us.. just be open-minded." The man suggests to us as I shake my head watching the men get closer surrounding us now with a third man creeping up besides us.

The main one that's talking reaches out to touch Sunny as I quickly slap his hand away, not even letting him get close. His malicious grin fills his face now, just liking this game of cat and mouse. He reaches again as I slap his hand away without hesitation from Sunny again before demanding, "Don't you dare touch her!"

"Oooohhh, someone is feisty. I like that." He says reaching for my face as I slap his hand away but he uses that momentum from the slap to whirl his arm around in a circle until it gets right back to the upright position, grabbing hold of my wrist then pulling me into him. I gasp then squeal as he flips me around, holding me into his chest so tight. I struggle trying to get out of his very strong death grip on me.

The man from beside me takes a knife out, putting it against my neck in warning of me fighting. With every struggling move I make it let's the knife pierce my skin more, so I finally stop from hating the pain I'm now just causing myself.

He leans in, saying into my ear. "You should have just gone with the flow baby it will be way easier that way, at least in the long run."

I observe the man at my side taking the knife from my neck and walking up behind Sunny, grabbing her hair and pulling it back as she squeals in pain while trying to fight them off of her.

I do the same, trying to fight his grip to get to her. I need to protect her. "Stop, please stop, leave her alone! She is just a child!" I beg them as they laugh at my suggestion not even pausing or budging from their torment. I watch the man grab Sunny's face as his other hand tries to touch her body while the other man threatens her with the knife so she won't fight back.

"She doesn't look like a child.. so young and beautiful." He says to her as I watch the tears pour down her cheeks. "Please just stop and leave us alone, and we won't tell anyone." I try to bargain or do anything to take their attention from her right now.

"Oh, but honey, we are here to have a fun time. And I know you won't tell anyone because you're not going anywhere." He says into my ear, sending a chill down my spine, but this isn't the good kind of chill.. It's the chill that comes from your body naturally on its own, just to give you the warning of what's to come.

I struggle more in his hold, but I feel another knife press harder into my side this time, making me freeze at that realization. Now I know what I have to do to help Sunny so nothing like this can ever happen to such a sweet, innocent girl like her. I love her, and I won't let this happen, not to her, at least.

"That's fine... that's fine.. you can have fun.. but only with me.. not her.. just me.. let her go, and you can have me.. Do whatever you want to me.. but you have to let her go.." I negotiate with him as the guys stare over at me. I watch their eyes jump back and forth between each other, thinking about my offer.

"Fine.. let her go." He commands from his friends as they let Sunny go. She just stands there staring at me, not knowing how to react, so I say in a stern tone to make sure my voice just demands her attention with my specific instructions. "Go home."

She doesn't move a muscle but starts arguing with me from right in front of me, "No, I won't leave you." I groan hating this while situation as I feel the man press the knife more into my side.. My heart just starts to pound out of my chest as I try to keep my cool in front of Sunny. "I will be just fine, you need to go now." I inform her as she shakes her head vigorously while I watch more tears pour down her cheeks.. I muster up the most mom sounding tone that I can, as I demand with no wiggle room for compromise when it comes to this. "GO NOW SUNNY!" She gasps as I see the tears building up more threatening to spill again. "Go!" I yell as she jumps in shock at me yelling at her, before the man holding me suggests. "Well, unless you really want to stay cutie, we can arrange for that, then we can have fun with the both of you." She shakes her head instantly, then looking back and forth between me and the men shaking her head more hating this situation as much as I am.. I swallow the lump in my throat out of nervousness as she finally turns running away from us.

"Dont worry, we will take such good care of you." He says into my ear, pushing the hair out of my face and then behind my ear. I turn my face away from him, not liking this already.. but he doesn't like that action, apparently. Because he abruptly turns me around, grabbing my cheeks in his one hand, while the other hand keeps holding the knife into my side.. He stares deep into my soul, holding my face with so much pressure that it hurts. He squishes my cheeks together as much as he can pissing me off.. I try to push him away from him, but his friends take hold of my arms pretty quickly, just holding them back, trying to restrain me as much as they can. He keeps a hold on my face, forcing his lips to mine as I can't help but cringe hating all of this.

The man from behind me presses his body to mine, trapping me in between the two of them like the most disgusting kind of sandwich you could ever make up.. I feel him take my hair into his hand, pulling it back as I gasp from shock of the pain, with my head all the way back. The sound of the man smelling my air is all that can be heard, as I feel the tears building up in my eyes just wanting this to be done with or die before I get scarred for life.. Which ever comes first.. I feel the man gently wipe away the stray tears that are drifting down my cheek without me even realizing it.

"Oh, come on baby, don't cry, this is just what you negotiated for willingly.. and I promise we will have so much fun that you might even want to try it again." The guy behind me states as I spat back at him without a moment to lose. "Highly Doubt it."

The guy in front and to the side of me are laughing at my expense, absolutely loving all of this by the looks on their faces.. The one that's behind me says, "Well, there is only one way to find out.. Isn't there?"

I swallow the lump in my throat as I close my eyes, not answering, just trying to take myself away from this place even if it's just mentally.

I feel the man's hand trail up my leg and under my dress as I struggle not liking this at all.

"Shhh.. don't fight this, or all of this will be so much worse than it has to be. Just give into the peer pressure, and I bet you will enjoy it." The man to the side of me retorts as I gasp for air shaking my head.

"I will always fight." I respond without hesitation as the man in front of me laughs more before stating, "Well, that's ok because I like a fighter. It makes things interesting and definitely turns me on."

His hand keeps getting caught on my dress as he grunts in frustration from just wanting this to happen, so he is trying to touch me and still failing miserably.. But without breaking his swift moments, he brings out his knife and slices up the side of my dress, making me squeal at that sight alone. I think he might have cut my stomach a little bit with that fast move.

He takes the open sides of my dress and ripping it the rest of the way up, completely ruining my dress at this point.

I just can't wait for this to be done with as soon as possible. I shut my eyes tight, just hoping and praying I can get through this.
