Chapter 3: Late

What is
his
problem? I practically threw myself at Jake and he shut me down hard. My week of expulsion ended and I spent my time stomping around home and school like a tornado as days ticked off the calendar. Jake had
n’
t called, and I had
n’
t run into him at school either.

He must be gay or something.
I thought to myself, very annoyed. Of course, it was just about then that I realized I was acting EXACTLY like the kind of girl people assumed I was......


Hey slut, where you been
?

Sean stepped into the way, standing there with a big shit eating grin. Rumor spreader, jackass, big dumb stupid face.


Go away Sean
.”
I said angrily, trying to get past him. The period bell would ring any minute.


C’
mon babe, I just want a little bit
.”
He said, sweeping in to grab me. The hall had emptied, students off in classes as the bell rang singsong notes. Sean groped me hard as I tried to shout, his hand coming over hard on my face, blocking my mouth.


Wha
t’
s the matter, no love for your boyfriend you slut? Still think it was ok to turn me down
?”
He said.

I had to do something, anything. I opened my mouth slightly, then bit down HARD.


You stupid bitch
!”
Sean said, tackling me to the ground. Shouting and hollering brought out the teachers, and sure enough, my math teacher was there again to see the whole thing. The slut and a boy rolling around on the floor between classes. He did
n’
t even give me a chance to speak as he sent Sean off to his class and dragged me down to the principa
l’
s office once again. Nobody cared what I had to say. I was the slut, and it must be my fault.

Mom did
n’
t care either.
I’
d been caught trying to have sex in a hallway to hear her tell it. Totally expelled. No coming back this time. Nobody wante
d“
the slu
t”
around.
I’
d be lucky if I could get into an online high school at this point. It was
n’
t fair. Worse yet, the one person in the world I knew would believe me was
n’
t answering the phone!

Soon was
n’
t soon enough.

Impatience gave way to anger, then sadness, and just when I was about to write the jerk off forever, the phone rang.


Where the hell have you been?!
?”
I practically shouted.


I’
m sorr
y


The voice came back, smooth and quiet
.“I’
m out of state for a funeral
.


Oh go
d


I whispered, all the anger caught in my throat.


My grandmother, she was something special
.

I was silent, everything I wanted to say disappearing. Sure, things had been bad, but this was on a whole other level.


I heard about what happened at school, Katie
.


I
t’
s not what you think
!”
I said, practically shouting into the phone.


I know exactly what it is. Did he hurt you
?

Oh god, he know
s…
He believes in m
e

I sobbed. I was embarrassed, upset, broken, and yet, he believed in me. To one person in the world, I was
n’
t the slut. I was mor
e

I was Jak
e’
s girlfriend.


He did
n’
t hurt m
e…I’
m ok. Just, come back soon. I need to see you
.

Jake was quiet, but I could almost hear his smile.

“I’
ll be back soon buttercup, you just hang in there. I have another surprise for yo
u
…”


Another surprise? How are you supposed to do better than kisses in the desert under military attack helicopters
?”
I said, giggling, my happiness returning.


Yo
u’
ll see soon enough. Wait for me
.

Chapter 4: Waiting

Waiting is the worst. I
t’
s like being in the middle of a dark room hoping somebody will turn the lights on. Days passed. My time with Jake had only intensified the teasing at school. Everyone was buzzing about me again, someone had seen me hanging out with th
e“
black gu
y”
, and now there was joke after joke about how a slut has no problems going back.

And I did
n’
t care.

Teens never knew when to quit, they just had to keep on picking. I did
n’
t care because I had someone who really cared about me. Someone who did
n’
t listen to all the bullshit. I stormed through the halls going from class to class without looking anyone in the eyes. To hell with all of them. I did
n’
t need anyone. All I needed was...


Katie
?

I knew the voice, but I could
n’
t have expected my bod
y’
s reaction. I spun, my knees buckling as he caught me, tears welling up in my eyes. It was the end of the day, the only thing left was to walk outside to my crappy car and go home. Now, the whole world had stopped. I did
n’
t care how long I stood there or how many people were snickering as they walked by. Jake held me, stronger than anyone ever had. I was complete.


About that surprise
.”
Jake said. I looked up at his dark smiling face, pressing myself into him harder
.“
Are you ready to go
?”
He whispered.


Take me..
.”
I replied breathlessly.

We walked to his car, my weight leaning into him. I barely even got inside the mustang before I attacked him, leaning over the console to pull his lips to my own. He tasted like heaven, our tongues dancing. I knew the scene was drawing a crowd in the parking lot but nothing mattered outside of this car. Jake reached up and gripped my hair with both hands, pulling me into the kiss even harder, pain tingling from my scalp as we made out for what felt like hours. Jake wanted me, I wanted him. I needed him...

By the time I pulled back, it felt like half the schoo
l’
s eyes were on us. Jake wasted no time throwing the car into drive and hammering it out of the parking lot.


I’
ve missed you Katie..
.”
Jake said, his hand falling on my cool exposed thigh, my short skirt riding up.


I’
ve missed you too
.”
My own hand fell on his, dwarfed by its size, stroking his fingers
.“
Where to, Sometime
?”
I said smiling.

Jake did
n’
t respond, grinning as the car flew through traffic, weaving our way cross town. I took the moment to text my mom... It was the first time
I’
d ever cared to tell her what I was doing. I do
n’
t know why, but being around Jake made me want to be more responsible. He made me feel whole. And something else... The heat from his hand was spreading, and I could feel that familiar tingle. I wanted more... I always wanted more. Not because I was the slut, but because I truly loved this man.

I grinned too, and as the car finally arrived at its destination I was puzzled. W
e’
d shown up at a huge house in a wealthy neighborhood, and it was clear some kind of party was going on from the mass of cars outside. Considering how early it was, this seemed a bit strange, and even stranger still as Jake retrieved a beautiful electric guitar from the back seat.


Come with me
.”
Jake said, stepping out and walking round the car to open my door. Perfect gentleman. I took his hand and we walked inside. Men and women moved about inside the massive foyer dressed up for a formal engagement, and it did
n’
t take me long to realize what was going on.


You brought me to a wedding
?”
I whispered, puzzled.


Yes..
.”
He said back, squeezing my hand.


And this is going to helicopters in the desert
?”
I was giggling, but Jake stopped, spinning me to look in his eyes. His face was a dark muscular slate, the beautiful brown eyes gleaming, the cheekbones begging to be touched.


Yes
.

I melted back into him as we continued outside. He was still dressed in full ROTC uniform, and joined up with a small group of others in similar attire, all carrying instruments of their own. Stepping through massive double doors into what should have been a back yard, I was floored by the open space. This home was right on the fringe of a golf course, and the yard opened up straight onto green near the clubhouse. Rows of chairs sat mostly filled, with an aisle of rose petals running down the center. A huge arch had been erected on a platform at the end of the aisle for the marriage itself to take place. It was beautiful.


Have a seat... Wait for me
.”
Jake said.

I would wait for him forever, if he asked me...

I walked back to the rows of seats, watching the beginnings of the ceremony unfold.
I’
d never seen anything quiet like this. The amount of money that must have been spent in this ceremony blew my mind. Off to one side was a fountain of champaign that must have cost more than my car. Of course, I did
n’
t waste time sneaking a glass as everyone was watching flower girls spreading yet another layer of petals on the long white carpet between the aisles. Meanwhile, Jak
e’
s band set up off to the side, near a makeshift wooden dance floor laid over the grass. I stared around the gaunt faces, suits, and the occasional uniform; this was a military wedding and Jake was part of the entertainment!

The wedding was nice, but the party really started once the beautiful bride and groom said thei
r“
I D
O”
. People were laughing, smiling, clinking glasses, and even I was feeling a little buzz from the champagne
I’
d sneaked. Above the din, rose the sound of a guitar.

Jake!

I spun on my heels, staring at the small stage set off to the side, as the ROTC band started to play. Jake stepped up to the mic, his fingers flying across the neck of the Gibson. His lips parted, and I almost died laughing as Billy Idol poured out from between them
.“
Hey little sister what have you done
?

White Wedding...

More than that, he was playing for me. His eyes never left mine, his smile warm and inviting as the words leapt from his throat. Love song after love song, it was almost like the whole world around me had melted away. It was just me and Jake. I found myself gravitating toward the dance floor, where I let my body move me to the beat. Jake was performing for me, and I was performing for Jake. I wanted him to see me move, I wanted him to wish he could step out and hold me, to move with me.

Soon the floor was a mass of bodies, the party getting started as everyone danced and enjoyed their own moment. I poured more champagne into my glass, taking a break from the floor as Jake continued another set. My whole world was flying high. Nothing could bring me down.


Fancy meeting you here, SLUT. Came with your new boytoy too did
n’
t you
?

My blood went cold, fingers losing grip of my glass, the thin glass shattering quietly on the ground
.“
What are you doing here Sean
?”
I said, trying to step away from him. His fingers gripped the cloth draped over my shoulder and spun me around.


What, you think
I’
d just let you make out in the parking lot with some other guy? I had to know where you were going.


I
t’
s over Sean. You know that
.


I
t’
s over when I say i
t’
s over
.”
He replied, a hand slipping over my mouth as he drug me away from the party. I glanced back at the crowd, everyones eyes looking forward and the dance floor too thick to catch glimpse of Jake. I struggled, trying desperately to pull away as I was drug back into the big house. Sean lifted me, carrying me straight in and off to the right toward some stairs, his muscular build hauling me effortlessly away from the party. The music was muffled, the sounds of the world dying off as we moved.


Carried you over the threshold, I think i
t’
s time we consummate
.”
Sean said, kicking a door open to a huge bedroom. A big four poster bed stood with beautiful sheer cloth draped from each corner. Sean reached up, grabbing at the long strands, pulling one down and wrapping it violently around my mouth. I tried to scream around the gag, but I knew nobody could hear me. I kicked and fought as he pulled down another long strand, using it to bind my hands behind my back. His hand came down on my face hard as he ripped cloth from my body.


Shut up or I will make you shut up
.”
He said, another slap hammering my cheek.

My whole body was shivering, skin exposed. There was nothing I could do... Nothing... My mind was numb, my skin screaming as he ran his hands over me, forcing me bent over the bed. My ears opened as I listened to the sound of his zipper sliding down. You could hear a pindrop... There was nothing, no sound...

NO SOUND!

I screamed out again as loud as I could, kicking and moving with renewed vigor. Jake must have noticed my absence. Sean grabbed at me viciously as I threw my body around wildly, crying out. He flipped me, gripping my throat, face red and evil. He was going to choke me out! I tried to kick, to move, to do anything. his body was too heavy, too strong. I could
n’
t even whimper as vision started to collapse into a tunnel, light fading. My eyes cried out for mercy but Sean was possessed. I was dying... I was...

Falling?

The sensation hit me as I slumped down off the side of the bed. My brain still swimming I looked up and could see Jake and Sean grappling on the floor next to us. He must have knocked us clean off the bed. I gasped for air, my body trying desperately to recover, fingers gripping at the carpet. Jake was strong, but there was no question Sean was stronger. His muscular frame moved wildly, he must have taken off his shirt as he was forcing me over on the bed. I watched his fists come down wildly, Jake taking blow after blow. He fought back, catching an arm and dragging him in close, rolling and slamming an elbow into Sea
n’
s cheek. Sean barely even flinched, slamming his head forward into Jak
e’
s and laying him flat.

My body ached as I pulled myself up against a nightstand. Sean was already moving in for more, getting up as Jake was trying to crawl away. Suddenly, Jake launched again, his feet finding traction as he hurled himself into Sea
n’
s midsection the two trading blows and damage.


Run, Katie..
.”
Jake managed to shout, Sean continuing to pummel him. His voice stopped under the raining blows. My mind was still swimming, but I lifted myself to my knees, coming face to face with a big heavy looking lamp...

I did
n’
t think. Adrenaline coursed through me as I gripped it, pulling the cord free from the wall. I spun, my whole body crying out, my voice screaming as I hurled myself across the room. Sean looked up, the wooden shaft of the lamp crashing down on his face.
