Chapter 18
As Jared stood in the middle of the bedroom frozen, I got up from the bed causing my dress to fall to the ground because the straps weren't holding it up now, but I didn't even seem to care about that.
I charged at Jared and pushed him against the wall with so much force that it knocked him unconscious.
Suddenly the double doors to that bedroom opened up and of course Leia was the first one to step inside. I saw a flash go off and that's what brought me out of my daze, staring at the unconscious Jared on the ground.
Her friends were with her but then I saw the twins towards the back.
Nathan pushed past everyone and saw me standing there without any clothes on and the man was unconscious on the ground, but he ran straight over to me and stood in front of me so no one else could see me standing there naked.
"Would you pricks stop looking at her without any clothes on?" Nathan yelled, looking over his shoulder.
I pushed him away with another powerful thrust.
"Stay the fuck away from me." I said through gritted teeth. But he didn't fall to the ground and he looked at me with hurt and confusion on his face. We were having a good time earlier and now I was screaming at him to leave me alone.
I bent down and picked up my dress and I put it on but I had to hold it up because the straps weren't holding it up anymore.
Leia started laughing and her friends started joining in with her.
"You really are a whore. You'll open your legs for anyone that will give you any sort of attention." Leia said.
I walked over to Leia without even hesitating, with no expression on my face at all, and I slapped her across the face.noveldrama
She lifted her hand up to her face and everyone stopped laughing at me then. She looked too stunned to retaliate. She turned to look at Tristan, thinking that he was going to stick up for her. But he just stood there. He looked like he was trying to piece the events of what happened together. He saw Jared on the ground and he obviously saw me standing there the way that I was.
As he was slowly putting it together, he looked like he was getting angry.
He wasn't even looking at her. He was looking at me.
And for the first time it looked like Leia was scared of someone, other than the twins as I was staring her in the eye, waiting for her to hit me back. But she didn't. I was hoping that she would. Ava was urging her to, she was ready for this. She wanted me to hit her again. She wanted me to put that bitch in her place, for once and for all. But Leia didn't move an inch. She wasn't going to come near me again.
I had never felt anger like this before.
Nathan tried to walk towards me again but I screamed again and Tristan pushed past Leia and grabbed Nathan to hold him back. Even he knew that it was a bad idea to come near me right now.
I walked towards the door and everyone got out of my way as I walked past them and it was quiet downstairs as well. The music was off and everyone saw me coming downstairs.
I was holding my dress up with my hand and I walked out the front door of the house and straight into the woods behind the house.
I knew that these woods would take me home. I wasn't sure how I knew that. I'd never been in the woods before, but I knew the way home for some reason.
As I was walking home I felt and heard a break in my leg and I fell to my knees. I got back up again slowly and my leg looked normal and I could keep walking. What was happening to me? But I felt another bone break in my arm and I screamed in pain. But it felt like it snapped back. I stopped for a second to lean against a tree. Sweating pouring down my face as the pain was getting to be too much for me. But when I turned around I could hear people talking at the house, so I knew that I was still too close. I had to keep walking. I had to get further away from that party. So I pushed off of the tree and started walking again when I felt another bone break and then snap back into place.
"What the fuck is happening to me?" I asked.
"You need to get the twins. They will help with the pain." Ava said.
I hadn't heard from Ava all night and when I really needed her, she told me to go back to the twins. The twins who set me up. So I didn't even bother acknowledging her now.
My bones would break and go back to normal the whole way home, but I tried to be as silent as I could. I didn't know who was around and I didn't want anyone to find me like this. If I screamed it would just alert people to where I was and I didn't know if anyone was following me from the party.
As soon as I walked inside the house I saw that Jack was passed out and Marilyn's car wasn't here.
She wasn't working tonight but she must have gone out as well. So I went upstairs and since Jack was asleep I knew that I could lock myself in the bathroom and start running a bath.
I looked in the mirror as the bathtub was filling up and I looked like a mess. Coming home through the woods definitely didn't do anything good for my appearance. My hair was all over the place and I just looked dirty from falling over constantly. I was glad that Marilyn wasn't here. I didn't need her prying into anything.
Once I got in the hot bath, the pain I was feeling all over my body seemed to be a little relieved.
I laid my head back against the back of the bathtub and I started thinking about the night.
I assumed that what I felt earlier was just adrenaline. I mean, that's the only thing that made sense.
How could I possibly just knock a guy out like that? I mean, he was almost twice my size. I know I'm tall, but he was taller and really well built. And he said that the twins and Wendy were in on it.
Why was Nathan acting so concerned when he saw me if he was in on it? Was Jared lying just to alienate me again?
I suddenly felt really exhausted and wanted to go to bed. But the hot water was soothing my aches and pains and I didn't want to get out yet.
I just knew one thing for sure. I never signed up for all this drama. Tristan, Nathan, Leia and the guy that tried to rape me tonight, I didn't want anything to do with any of it.
Well, no one wants to be raped. But the rest of it. I knew Leia was definitely behind it and that apology was just another bullshit lie from her.
As I was thinking about everything that happened tonight and everything that's happened since I came to town, I got this overwhelming sense of simply not caring. I didn't care anymore. I was sick of getting anxious every time I left the house. I was sick of getting all worked up every time Leia would look at me.
I hated feeling the way that I did when the twins came near me. I was done. I was sick of it all. I just simply did not care anymore.
When I got out of the bath I dried myself off and I got dressed for bed.
I walked across the hall to my bedroom and I locked the door and I got in bed.
Everything I did was practically mechanical. Like I wasn't even doing it. I was on the outside, watching my body do these things but there wasn't anyone actually controlling what I did.
And when I laid down in bed, I closed my eyes, hoping that tomorrow would never
come.
