You're Not In This Alone

I sit in Matts lap and let my eyes drift shut, feeling warm and content in his arms and the next thing I know he's shaking me awake, pressing gentle kisses to all over my face as he whispers to me that I need to wake up. My eyes flutter open and he smiles wide at me before saying "As much as I'd love to let you stay here and keep sleeping in my arms it's time that you should be getting home baby." I yawn and nod, sliding off his lap and standing up, stretching before rubbing my eyes. Matt stands too and walks with me to the door, waiting while I pull my boots back on and grab my bag before wrapping his arms around me and sealing his lips to mine. "I'll miss you" he tells me and I smile before saying "I'll miss you too. We'll talk later?" He smiles back wide as he says "Of course. Have a good afternoon baby." We share one last kiss before I walk out the door, smiling my whole way home.

"Well someone is very happy" dad says, smiling over at me as we sit opposite each other at the table that night during dinner. I keep the small smile on my face and nod in response and pa slides his hand over to grab mine. "I'm so happy to see you smile like that baby girl" he tells me and I duck my head, scooping more food into my mouth. "What's got you so happy?" Dad asks and I shrug my shoulders, not knowing what to tell him, feeling my face heat up a little. "Aww does my little girl have a crush?" He jokes and I feel my whole face heat up. "Ohhh she does" he keeps going and I look up and poke my tongue out at him. "Ahh to be young again" he sighs out and I shake my head at him. "Can we drop it?" I ask and dad chuckles but doesn't say anything else. After dinner we all go into the living room and dad and pa lay on the couch together while I lay on the single recliner couch, all of us focused on the tv until my phone buzzes next to me and I pick it up to see a message from Matt. 'Hey beautiful, what are you doing?' 'Just watching tv with my dad's, what are you doing?' 'At a bar with my friend James but I would much rather be curled up watching tv on a couch with you : )' I smile to myself and dad throws a pillow at me, hitting me in the face as he says "Hey, your new girlfriend is making you smile like a goof." I pick up the pillow and throw it back, glaring at him as I say "It's actually a boy." Both dad and pa stare at me shocked and I get up to use the bathroom. When I come back pa says "Your boyfriend keeps messaging" and I'm so grateful that they respect my privacy and didn't read it. I make myself comfortable and pick up the phone, reading the latest message. 'Wish you could come stay with me tonight. My bed is going to be so cold and lonely without you : (' I smile a little before sending back. 'I wish I could be with you too : ( Can't wait to see you again.' No other messages come through for a while and I settle back and focus on the tv again. The night drags on and the three of us decide to head to bed and I go into the bathroom and brush my teeth before going back into my room and undressing, getting ready to pull on my pyjamas when I walk over and stand infront of the full length mirror, taking a picture in my underwear before sending it to Matt. I pull on my pyjamas and climb into bed and ten minutes later my phone buzzes. 'Fuck, that's it baby you're coming home with me tonight.' I shake my head before replying 'I can't and I'm pretty sure you're drunk talking cause you know I can't.' 'No, me and my buddy James are outside your building right now, come down cause you're coming home with me' he sends back fifteen minutes later and I get up and go to my bedroom window, looking down and seeing him on the street. I hit the call button next to his contact and when he answers I say softly "Matt I can't come down, my dad's will hear. I'm sorry..." "No no just come down, I don't care if they know, come home with me baby, me and James need someone to cuddle." "I don't just wanna cuddle" I hear in the background along with a high giggle and I know they're both drunk out of their minds. "Matt I'm not interested in cuddling with anyone but you and I can't" I tell him and he says "Fine, fine just....James can sleep on the couch then. Please come down baby I need you" he slurs slightly and I sigh, torn between what I want and the consequences. "Ok hang on I'll try" I tell him before hanging up and slipping on regular clothes again, planning on sneaking out and sneaking back later before dad and pa will be up. I make it out the front door and down to the street where Matt is waiting for me, his huge arms crushing me to his chest in a hug and I whimper as I say "Easy, you'll break me." Matt laughs loudly, clearly drunk and he points to his friend. "This is James, James this is my girlfriend Ruby." "Hi" I say and his friend just leers at me, his gaze making me feel uncomfortable. Matt moves to stand infront of me, his back to me and bending down slightly and saying "Get on baby" and I sigh before jumping on his back and wrapping my arms around his shoulders, his hands gripping my thighs and he carries me to his apartment, his friend walking beside us and occasionally falling back a few steps and I'm pretty sure he's staring at my ass. When we get to the apartment Matt carries me into the bedroom and drops me on the bed, climbing on too and wrapping his arms around me again. James walks around and crawls onto the bed on my other side and slides up close to me, his hand resting on hip and I lean into Matt as I say softly, "Baby please, he's making me uncomfortable." Matt sits up and glares at his friend before saying "What the fuck man? Get out." James gets up and walks out, muttering something about sharing under his breath as he goes and Matt kisses me before climbing off the bed and undressing himself, leaving just his boxers on and while he's doing that I strip down to just a singlet and my panties, both of us settling in the bed and cuddling up together. We share soft slow kisses as Matts hands roam my body while he whispers "So beautiful, so glad you're mine" between the kisses until his kisses stop and he starts snoring softly. I cuddle into his side and fall asleep too, not a care in my mind.

I am woken later in the night by hands touching my legs and I kick out, opening my eyes and finding that the room is dimly lit by the moonlight coming through the blinds and that Matt and James are kneeling either side of me on the bed, both of their hands on my legs. "Get off me" I snap, and I go to sit up but I find my hands are tied to the headboard, trapping me where I am. I immediately struggle against the restraints as I kick my legs out, trying to remove their hands from me but Matt leans over and his face hovers over mine as he says softly "Baby we're just gonna have some fun ok? Don't you wanna have fun with me?" "Baby please don't" I beg, my voice shaky as I think about what they're going to do to me. "Don't let him touch me, please." "Oh but baby, he deserves fun too" he tells me and when he turns his head slightly the moonlight hits his face just right and I can see his pupils are blown, and he's clearly off his face on something other than alcohol. I try to swallow down the huge lump in my throat as I feel hands sliding down my panties and I bite my bottom lip tears sliding down my cheeks as I wait to be raped by my boyfriend and his friend. Hands roughly grip my thighs, pulling them further apart and I thrash around, screaming out in terror as I try once again to fight them off and I'm met with a slap across the face. Fingers roughly start touching me when someone bangs very loudly on the front door and I hear dad's voice scream out "Open the fucking door Matt" and I take a deep shaky breath before screaming out "Daddy" and a fist collides with my face and everything goes black.
