Aria's POV
I was just about to turn around when I am smashed against the brick wall. My head starts spinning with the hard impact, but my instincts kick in. I start kicking, screaming, anything to get the asshole off of me.
But of course I had to be the tiny height of 5'2". My attacker was a mountain. My kicks didn't even effect him, and he started to rip off my clothes.
I freeze, knowing what was about to happen. I start crying and begging for him to stop, but he keeps at it till I'm only in underwear and a bra. He starts fondling my breasts, kneading and sucking on them.
I try to cover myself, but he just pins my hands above my head. I continue struggling as he pulls down my panties, rubbing me. I try to headbutt him, but he just smashed my head into the brick wall again.
I'm dazed for few second, then I realize he's talking. "Mm a virgin, haven't had one of those in forever." His voice send shivers down my spine.
Without warning he pushes a finger into me. I cry in pain, trying in vain to get away. He continues to push in and out, but I feel absolutely no pleasure, only fear and pain.
He starts opening his pants, and I see him take his d**k out. It's huge.
I start crying even louder, hoping someone would hear me. Just as he is positioning himself to take away my virginity, I hear a gunshot. The man in front of me drops to the ground dead.
I also fall to the ground, almost unconscious. I hear some swearing, and then I am wrapped in a warm jacket, and picked up. "You're okay now, you're safe gattino" says a husky voice, with an Italian accent. He's right, for some reason I feel safe.
I snuggle further into him, trying to rid myself of the horrible moments that happened only a few seconds ago.
I hear him sigh and hold me closer to his chest. He smells good, were my last thoughts before I blacked out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up in a soft bed. I quickly try and sit up, only to fall back on the bed. I have a massive headache and my whole body hurts.
Then I remember what happened. I start screaming, not knowing where I am and what's happening. The door quickly opens, and a very handsome man rushes in.
He quickly comes over and tries to hug me, but I wince away. "Shhh gattino, you're okay, you're safe, calm down." He's the one who saved me. I blink at him. "Who are you?" I ask, my voice sounding hoarse, probably from all the screaming. "I am Renzo Romano, you don't have to be scared of me" he says gently.
I start crying again and he tries to hug me again. I don't try to move away this time, since for some odd reason I trust him. He pulls me closer to him, making me lean on his chest.
I calm down, only to remember my family. I start freaking out. "Oh no oh no oh no" I whisper to myself, but apparently not quiet enough. "What is it gattino?" Renzo asks me concerned. "My family! They're probably freaking out right now! Oh no they're going to kill me." I start trying to get up, but Renzo keeps me in his arms. "Renzo please, I have to go!" I beg him.
He stands up with me still in his arms and walks to the bathroom. "First you take a shower, then we talk" he says and walks out. I sigh and relent, because to be honest I really need this shirt right now.
After my shower I try to find clothes, but I can only find what I assume to be Renzo's clothes. I take out one of his white t-shirts and put it on. I goes down to my knees. Jeez that man is huge. Just to be safe I also put on a pair of shorts, that are way to big.
I look in the mirror and wince. I look like a mess. I have huge bruises on my wrists and arms that you couldn't see before, as well as my neck. I shrug and walk out of my room, there's nothing I can do about it.
But I instantly regret leaving the room, as I come face to face with a stranger.
"Well well well, look what we have here. Aren't you a pretty little thing" he says touching my check. I flinch away and my eyes tear up. This can't be happening, not again. "Were you the bosses play thing for last night?" he asks y which makes me want to throw up. "I don't think he'd mind if I had a go, now would he." he says and that's when I start running.
I flew down the stairs, and end up in a hall way. I hear heavy footsteps coming my way, so I just take off running again. "Now now little b***h, you don't want to make me mad" I hear his angry voice close behind me.
I run even faster, but suddenly I crash into a rock hard wall. I start falling, but the wall catches me. I look up and see that the wall is actually Renzo, and he's frowning at me. I quickly hide myself in his chest and close my eyes.
"Oh boss, this little slut here tried to run away from me" I hear the scary man's voice. I try to hide myself even more. "André, Get the f**k out of my sight if you want to live" I hear Renzo say quietly, but you can hear his rage. I hear stammering, but then footsteps leading away from us.
Renzo sighs and looks down at me. " What am I going to do with you gattino" he whispers and I whimper in response. He carries me into what I assume to be his office and sits down in his chair with me still clinging to him.
I feel embarressd when he just stares at me. I hear him say something that I think he didn't mean for me to hear. "You're too pretty for you're own good."
I almost start laughing. Me? Pretty? Ha. No way. Yes my hair is beautiful, but I'm definitely not.
I feel him absentmindedly stroking my curly red hair. It feels nice. I start to drift away again, the stress from these last two incidents catching up to me. "Sleep gattino sleep" is all I hear before I drift off.
I wake up refreshed and on a mission. As much as I like Renzo I really need to get home. So I get up and walk out the door. Wow that was easy I think to myself. So I start walking towards the front gates of the house or should I say f*****g castle.
I climb over the fence and start walking. I suddenly remember that I have no phone and no clue where I am. f**k. I just continue walking till I see a little cafe.
I quickly walk inside and ask the barista if I could borrow his phone. He agrees and I quickly call Nathan, my brother. "Who's is it?" I hear Nathan's worn out voice answer. I feel terrible, since it's me who cause him to be so tired. "Hi Nathan, it's me Aria" I say quietly.
I hear him inhale. "Oh my god" I hear silence, then my mom's voice. "My baby, where are you, are you okay?" her voice asks worried.
I can't do it anymore, so I just break down crying. "Mom, I don't know where I am, I just got to a little cafe, please pick me up", I say crying. "Ari, I need you to give me the address" I hear Nathan's voice again. "O-okay, let me ask" I say hiccuping. I tell him the address and he says he'll be there in 20 minutes.
He hangs up. I start sobbing after that. I usually don't cry, but this is just too much. The barista, a man who looks like he's in his 40s-50s, around my mother's age comes over to me.
"Honey are you okay?" He asks me. I nod, not knowing what to say. The man nods as well, and get up. A few minutes later he comes back with a drink. "Here it's a lavender tea, to calm you down" he says kindly. I give him a small smile and start drinking. It's delicious.
15 minutes later Nathan, Tyler, Thomas, and my mom rush into the cafe. "Baby!!" My mom cries and rushes over to me, enveloping me in a hug and kissing my face.
Nathan and Tyler both come over. They look terrible, with rings under they're eyes, like they haven't slept. They join the hug too, and last but not least Thomas. He looks exactly like them, and joins the hug too.
We stay like that for a few minutes, just calming down. But I know I'm in deep s**t when my mom says my full name "Aria Isabelle Jackson, what the hell happened!"
