Everything Will Be OK

“N-Nathan…what the hell are you doing here?” I asked, my voice trembling. “I came to see me beautiful girlfriend…why else would I be here?” His smirk caused my body to become cold. He then slowly crept towards me as I remained frozen in fear. “I-I’m not your girlfriend Nathan…I broke up with you…” I muttered under my breath. He gripped me by the waist as he whispered into my ear. “No one breakes up with me hon…” The familiarity of his voice made my skin crawl. “Get away from me!” I yelled pushing his weight off of me. “You better show me some fucking respect or you’re gonna get it!” He spat. “No! I will call the cops on you if you don’t leave right now!” I threatened. He cackled at my remark. “Why would you call the cops on your own boyfriend…the only one who loves you…” He said coldly. “I fucking told you…you are not my boyfriend Nathan! Now get out.” I screamed. “You had your chance bitch now you’re really in for it.” He yelled, grabbing me by the wrist and dragging me to the back room of the music store.

“What are you doing?” I whimpered helplessly. He looked dead at me with his dark, murderous eyes. “I’m going to teach you a lesson.” He then pushed me onto the ground near the piles of empty boxes that once held old CD’s. “It will only hurt more if you fight it…” He mumbled as he began to unzip his lose jeans. “Nathan…please…let…me go…” Tears were now flowing down my face. “Shut up bitch!” He hissed. I didn’t dare to reply with a sassy remark. Instead I just sat there as I followed by his demands. “You like what ya see?” He asked now only wearing his black boxers. More tears fell down my cheeks when he slapped me hard across the face. Hoping that he would stop there, he began to tug at my shorts as they were forced down to my ankles, exposing my bear thighs and lace underwear. Next he slipped his ice cold hands up my torso as he ripped off my t shirt. Literally ripped it into two pieces. “Nathan don’t do this…I’m begging you…” I pleaded between hiccups. He didn’t listen to me, but just continued to undress me by unhooking my bra. The look he gave me was full of satisfaction and wanting. I tried my best to cover my breasts when I felt a sudden rush of cold air hit my upper thighs. My lace underwear was now joined together with the rest of my clothes on the floor, leaving me completely naked. Honestly, I felt completely vulnerable. “Damn you’re just all skin and bones aren’t you.” A devilish smirk spread across his smug face. But of course he continued on and took off his boxers. My cries were becoming louder and louder. “Baby aren’t you excited for the best part? “He chuckled. “Help!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, hoping someone would hear me outside the shop. It was useless though, since the room was soundproof. Before I knew it, He was deep inside me. I shrieked in pain. It was absolutely unbearable as I clawed my nails into the cement floor. “Stop!” I bellowed. Nathans face was filled with amusement as he continued to torture me more. I would have much rather him beat me with his fists or stab me with a knife, cause I knew that the pain that I was feeling now was much greater than both of those combined.

When he was finally finished, he looked me up and down with a devious stare. “I told you I would make your life a living hell…Did I live up to my promise?” I didn’t respond I just sat there in my own misery as he finished putting on his clothes. “Thought so…But don’t worry hon, this is only the beginning of it.” He whispered, giving me that twisted grin of his. Relieved that he was finally done, he began to lean closer to me. “Oh and I just got to do one more thing before I leave…” Confused on what he was talking about, he placed his lips onto my collarbone as he sucked as hard as he could. His teeth dug into my skin as I yelped. After a few minutes, he slowly backed away as he made eye contact with me. “And if anyone ever asks you where you got that hickey, just say it was from your loving boyfriend.” That was the last thing he said as he finally left the shop, leaving me alone sitting in my own pool of blood and tears. What the hell am I going to do? What am I going to tell Gerard once he sees this hickey on my neck? All these questions fled through my mind as I continued to cry more and more. That is when the worst thought of all came to me. Did I just cheat on Gerard….Did I seriously cheat on Gerard with Nathan…With this still going through my head, I tried my best to gather myself as I mopped up all the blood and threw on my now dirty clothes. Right after that, I ran out of the backroom to the bathroom. When I got in there. my jaw dropped. In the mirror, showed the largest, and darkest bruise on my neck I had ever seen. Holy shit…How the fuck am I going to hide this? Without thinking I rummaged through all the stuff underneath the counter when I found one of Dave’s jackets. I quickly put it on and zipped it up until you couldn’t see my neck, when I heard the bell at the top of the front door ring again. Fuck…Please don’t be Nathan…Please don’t be Nathan…I thought to myself, keeping my fingers crossed when I finally turned around to see my savior…”Gerard!” I squealed. “Hi sugar! Ready to go?” I furrowed my eyebrows. “What do you mean?” I asked giving him a puzzled look. “Its 8:00.You told me to pick you up at this time.” He explained. “Oh sorry a lot of things are on my mind right now. I must have lost track of time.” I lied. I then began to follow him out the door when he paused. “Don’t you want to take off your jacket? It’s like 90 degrees out here...” He asked in a concerned voice. “No its fine…” He gave me a puzzled look. “Taylor, you should really take it off. I don’t want you to get heat stroke.” I bit my lip nervously. “Gee I told you I’m fine…” I said more demanding this time. “Well at least unzip it. It’s all the way up to your chin for Christ’s sake.” I shook my head. “Gerard I already said no!” He began to cross his arms. “Tay you’re acting weird…Are you hiding something form me?” He asked. “No!” I exclaimed. Before I could argue anything else, he had already unzipped the jacket, exposing my hidden hickey. His eyes widened as all I could see in his face now was shock and pain.
