"Why do they keep telling me I’m a sl** when I’m still a vir***? I have been saving myself for my future husband. I just don’t understand how they can be so cruel.” Isabelle was in tears crying to her favorite teacher, Mr. Heartsman. “I’m so sorry dear, please you must ignore them and don’t let them extinguish your fire you have. One day all that it will come back 10 fold on them. So keep your head held high, you are special and they are jealous.” Mr. Heartsman was right. I couldn’t continue to allow them to bully me and allow them to get to me. Even though I do not feel special, I still need to know my worth. That day forward she promised herself that she wouldn’t let them get to her any longer.

I walked out of his classroom and headed to my locker before class started. "Hey are you ok?” I turned around to see Eric with concern on his face. My heart fluttered. God he’s so incredibly s**y I thought to myself. “Yeah I’m ok” I said with a sniffle. “Just tired of them and how they treat me.” I started to cry again, it was just so too much to deal with. Eric hugged me and I could have sworn he growled. Oh my gosh he’s hugging me!! He smells so good too. Come on Isabelle get yourself together, he’s comforting you. I shook my head and stepped back out of Eric’s arms, immediately feeling cold and missing his touch. I put the thoughts out of my mind. He’s my best friends brother, he’s off limits. “Thank you Eric, I’m going to try to keep my head held high and not let them get to me.” Suddenly he hands me a piece of paper. It’s his phone number? “If you ever need me Isabelle.” Then Eric turned and walked away. I stood there dumbfounded.

"You ok Izzy?” Cosette asked as she walked up beside me. “Yeah I’m ok. I am ready for this year to be over and all the seniors to graduate. Then I can enjoy the rest of my high school days in peace.” We both laughed. “It will be a great 2 years without them here. Hopefully they all graduate.” Cosette was right, I prayed they all graduated so I didn’t have to deal with them during the school day. “Let’s get to class so we aren’t late” I said. We rushed to class and made it to our seats before the bell rang.

The rest of the school day I kept thinking about Eric and how good he smelled. I have had a crush on him since we were little. I was so shy around him because my mom and brother always accused me of sleeping with boys from a young age. Cosette was the only one who knew what I went through between the beatings and mental abuse at school and home. I couldn’t wait until I was 18 and could move away. I dream of the day I can tell Eric how I feel. I just don’t think I can ever do that since he’s my best friends brother. Cosette knows I am in love with her brother. She has tried encouraging me to tell him. Im afraid he will laugh in my face and break my heart. Maybe one day I will have the courage to tell him.

I opened the door to my house and as I shut the door someone grabbed me from behind. “You thought you were so cleaver today didn’t you?” Alex said while Tyler stood beside him with a smirk on his face. "I didn’t do anything. Now take your hands off of me.” I was terrified what was going to happen. My heart was beating so fast I felt like I was going to pass out. Alex and Tyler started hitting me in my stomach and chest. Then Alex started running his hand up my legs. "Get the f*** off of me now!” I screamed. Alex leaned closer to my ear “If you want to scream I’ll gladly oblige” he said with another evil smirk. Then I got back handed. I was in and out of consciousness while they took me to the attic.

When I gained consciousness again I noticed my hands were tied above my head. Tyler pulled my head back and whispered, “You will learn to keep your legs shut from now on except for us.” Suddenly, wack, I felt something sting across my back. Wack, I whimpered from the pain and shock. Three more wacks and my knees gave out. I was crying so loud and hurt so badly. Alex came up and cut my clothes off. “No, please don’t” I cried. I received another strike on my back. Tyler helped steady my body and Alex back handed. He smirked as I gasped from Tyler running his hand over my back. Tyler leaned forward, “if you scream or make a noise you will be beaten until you’re barely breathing.” I was terrified! He’s my brother. Why would he even want to do this?! He should be protecting me. I cried and shook so hard. I cried out as they struck me again. "Please stop!” They laughed and Alex back handed me. “Shut the f*** up you dirty sl**" as he adjusted his pants. I wanted to die. Alex took me down and tied me to an X-cross. A belt was tied around my neck. I was so scared. I was trembling from the pain from the whipping i received. Alex came over and smelled me. F*** you smell so good.” Alex said with desire. I closed my eyes as they lowered me to a laying position. Tyler whispered in my ear “You’ve been a naughty little sl**. Looks like you need to be taught a valuable lesson. You are not to touch any guy except me and Alex. “Hmmm, Alex I think if she keeps this up we’ll just have to bring the guys and we all take her vir****y.” My eyes widened. “No stop. Please let me go” I pleaded. I felt a horrible sting across my chest. Alex leaned in and said “If you're good for me I’ll let you go.” I didn’t want any of this. I tried to get away but the leather straps kept hurting my wrists. He continued to strike me. My heart was beating so fast. Maybe if I fake it they’ll let me go. Maybe if I pretend I like it they won’t hurt me anymore. I was wrong. "Mmm you smell so good sl**." I couldn’t move or breathe. Suddenly I felt the belt around my throat tighten and both boys laughed and told me to take it like a good sl**. Please, someone help me was the last thought I had before I heard the door break. That’s when I blacked out.
