TRIGGER WARNING: the beginning of this chapter also has sexual assault in it, as it's continuing from last chapter. wanted to warn you guys, so you knew. thanks for reading :)
"Kendall!" Someone screamed. Beth. That was Beth, one of the girls. I finally came to my senses, my body jolting up.
"Help!" I screamed, it coming out scratchy and broken as I pulled my dress down as far as I could. I felt disgusted, my vision was still blurry and tears continued to fall as I fought to get out of this unknown man's grasp.
"Shut up," He ordered.
"You already had your way with me, what else do you want?" I asked, looking at him in horror.
"Kendall was that you?!" Beth asked again, right outside of the door.
"Yes, help me please!" I screamed as I got out of the man's grip, beginning to run toward the bedroom door. "This guy-" I was cut off by the man pushing my harshly, causing me to ram into the wall.
"Hey!" I heard Beth scream. "Where's your key to this room?" She was asking whoever's room this was for the key. Thank God. Beth's going to get me out of here. She's going to save me. Everything's going to get better. I will no longer be near this man.
"Shit," The man grumbled, hovering over me anyway. "Shut up, Kiya!" He pressed his hand over my mouth, it covering my nose also due to how big his hand is. I struggled to breathe, more tears spilling as I slapped and kicked my legs to get him to get off of me. "She's okay, she doesn't need help she's just joking."
"Really?" Beth asked through the door, and my eyes widened as I used the rest of my breath to scream as loud as I could, it just coming out muffled.
"Yes, really." The man snapped.
"Fine, I guess." She quietly said, and it sounded like she walked away.
The man removed his hand, standing up and picking me up. "You need to listen to me, Kiya. That was a close one."
"How do you fucking know me?" I asked, my anger bubbling up inside of me. Someone needs to help me, I can't take anymore of this. "What are you going to do when the party ends? You can't keep me locked in here forever."
"You're right about that, but I can for the rest of the night, and that's what I intend to do. You're so stubborn, it's just turning me on even more." He smirked as he threw me back on the bed. I immediately sat up, pain coursing through my body from the length of time I've been fighting this man back. He pulled something out of his pocket, and I couldn't tell what it was as he put it into the solo cup, gently moving the cup around to stir it.
"You're a disgusting prick!" I yelled, and he just pushed me back again hovering over me. "You've done what you wanted, now leave me the hell alone!" He ignored me with a chuckle, lifting my dress up yet again. He held my mouth open and poured the contents inside of the cup down my throat, forcing me to swallow it.
"I just had you, and I can't believe how I want you again," He shook his head, looking at my body. He held both of my hands with one arm as his other hand greedily roamed my body. I hate the feeling, I hate the way his hands feel against my skin. "But I can't let what just happened, happen again. You're so perfect, I've waited so long."
"Who are you?!" I asked, stopping my struggle for a moment.
"This is long overdue," He continued, putting the cup to the side and leaning down, kissing my neck. I can't even cry anymore, as I cried the entire time it was all happening, from the moment he brought me into this stupid bedroom up until now. There are no tears left, I can't do anything to help myself. I'm helpless, weak, and I hate myself.
Just as he hooked his finger around my underwear just like the first time he did it, the bedroom door barged open, light from the hallway pouring into the bedroom. The guy stopped, looking back and before I knew it he was thrown off of me, sounds of things crashing in the bedroom taking over. I couldn't tell what was happening as I managed to roll myself off of the bed and someone rushed over to me, wrapping their arms around my body.
"Kiya, my baby!" It was my mother. She held me in her arms, running her hand through my hair as my vision began to get blurry.
"M-mom?" I asked, trying to move up. I could barely move, whatever he put in my body was beginning to take over quickly. For some reason my body was already reacting to it, and I felt like I was losing my mind.
"I fucking lost him," I heard Teddy's voice.
"Teddy?" I asked, using all the strength left in me to begin crawling toward his voice. Once I began to get on my feet, I immediately fell back to the ground, causing arms to wrap around me once again.
"We need to get her to the hospital." A voice I couldn't decipher said, probably once of the girls from the sorority. My mind began to get jumbled even more as two arms picked me up, beginning to walk.
"H-he-" I began, but stopped as I couldn't remember what I was going to say.
"Shh, it's okay honey. Don't say anything right now." My mother spoke, and I tried to nod but my head didn't move.
"Sleepy," I tried to tell them it was getting harder to stay awake, and just as someone replied, my mind drifted into darkness.
****
The sound of a constant beeping flooded my mind, and I remembered what had happened. I was in the room with that weirdo, he forced me to sleep with him. I jolted up, ignoring the immediate pain in my head and body as I did so.
"Oh my God Kiya!" My dad exclaimed, him being the first one I saw. I glanced around the room and saw a sleeping Teddy, who had woken up to my dad's words and he immediately jumped up, running over to me.
"Kiya, it's okay," He immediately said, sitting on the side of the bed I was in. It's extremely uncomfortable, and I looked around to see I was in a hospital room. It was just my father and Teddy in the room with me, my dad walking out for a moment.
"What- what happened?" I asked, touching my forehead. I gently massaged it, hoping to ease the pain but sighed when I failed.
"What do you remember?" Teddy asked, but before I could answer the door opened again and my father, mother, a doctor and a police man walked into the room.
"Kiya my baby!" My mother immediately exclaimed, wrapping her arms around me and kissing my head. "I'm so sorry this happened to you baby."
"Kiya, how are you feeling?" The doctor asked as my mother pulled away, still staying at the side of my bed. It was kind of bothering me how many people are surrounding me. Not that I blame them, I just want to be left alone after everything that just happened.
"Seriously?" Teddy asked, turning to the doctor.
"It's okay, Teddy." I mumbled, and he just let out a deep breath as he turned back to me with a nod. "I'm okay, I guess."
"This is Deputy Timber. He's here to get your side of everything that happened," The doctor continued anyway. "I'm going to have to ask you three to leave, so she can talk to Deputy Timber alone."
"I'm not leaving her," Teddy immediately said.
"She should not be alone after everything that just happened to her," My dad added. It was weird seeing this serious side of not only Teddy, but my parents too. I'm not used to seeing them so serious, normally they say dumb or funny things. Especially my dad.
"Can they please stay?" I asked. Although I wanted to be alone I didn't want to be alone with a man unless it was my father or Teddy. The doctor nodded along with the officer.
"I'll leave you to it, then," The doctor sent me a nod before beginning to walk out.
"Wait!" I stopped him, and he turned to me with a concerned look on his face. "Can you stay too? I think you need to know too, along with you telling me everything going on and such." I suddenly felt awkward, picking at the blanket.
"Of course." He walked back over, taking a seat in one of those uncomfortable seats by the hospital bed.
"Alright, Kiya. I know you're probably overwhelmed, upset, and shocked by all of the events that occurred last night. It's okay if you're needing to take a few moments to process and explain everything, we'll be patient with you." Deputy Timber began as he pulled the other plastic chair over, sitting in it on the other side of the bed. "But we do need to get your side. Explain everything you remember, all of the details. It's all important, none of it dumb. We won't judge you, or belittle you. We want to help you, and we will let you tell everything how it all went down." He finished, and I found myself thankful with how nice he was.
"Everything?" I asked, thinking back to when it all started.
"Yes, even if there's something you're not sure will help, add it. You never know," Deputy Timber pulled a notepad out, along with a pen.
"Well this started a few years ago actually, not what happened with the boy but the reason I was there," I began. I went on explaining it from the moment Teddy moved into the house next door, leaving out the small details such as Brooke and Nash, and Teddy and I being involved. "My parents had asked me to help them get rid of these girls, as we're having a third child and we want to live in a big enough house. The girls were purposely coming after my parents, my parents going after them. It's a feud, I don't know how it ended, but my parents ended up asking me to act like someone else and join their sorority, to get inside information. I told them my name was Kendall, and I feel like they knew because they hardly told me anything until yesterday, I think it was." I stopped, taking in a deep breath. I feel dumb for telling my doctor and the officer legit everything but they had no sign of judgement on their faces as they listened to my words.
"They suggested having a party like frat parties, and I wore the dress I was probably brought in. I wasn't looking forward to it, because after what happened before I was never interested in them anymore. I had a bad feeling in my stomach from the moment the party started. I ended up getting bored as I hadn't drank or smoked or did anything bad, I wanted nothing more than to be at my actual home, so doing the next best thing I could in that situation I began to go up to the room." I stopped, remembering the look on that boy's face the entire time.
"Take your time, Kiya." The doctor reminded, and I nodded. It took me a few moments to gather my thoughts again, before I continued. I just want to get it over with.
"I ran into this boy- the boy. I don't know his name. He refused to tell me. But he knew me, I know he did and I'm- I'm not crazy." I shook my head. "He began to tell me I was the prettiest girl at the party, and that he could make my night more interesting. I kept declining, and he began to get physical. He forced me to touch his stomach, before beginning to slip his fingers up my dress." Tears began to cloud my vision. "He forced me into a room, locking it and I tried to fight back. I tried to yell and scream for help but he threw me on the bed." I looked down, tears falling onto the scratchy blanket, staining it.
"Oh my God," I heard my mom whisper.
"H-he, he-" I couldn't get the words out. "He knew my name, I never had to tell him. He wouldn't tell me how he knows me." Teddy reached over, grabbing onto my hand. I noticed his knuckles busted, but I couldn't question him about it. I can't get distracted.
"What did he do after he got you on the bed, Kiya?" The officer asked, and I looked up at him.
"He raped me, once or twice, I think. I can't remember." I admitted, tears falling. My mom sobbed, my father holding onto her as tears fell from his eyes too. Teddy's grip on my hand got tighter, and I took in a shaky breath.
"Is that when your mother and everyone else barged in?" The doctor asked, and I shook my head.
"I just laid there, lifeless because nobody was there," I spoke. "Then I heard Beth call my name- well, Kendall. I took that as a chance to run but he pushed me into the wall and forced me to stay quiet just as Beth was about to get me out."
"Did he get mad?" Deputy Timber asked, and I nodded.
"He put me back on the bed and put something in a cup he had. He forced me to drink it and I didn't want to, but I had no choice." I swallowed, remembering the words he said next. They were engraved in my brain, I will never forget them. "He told me he couldn't let what happened happen again. Before he made me drink the drink he said he planned to keep me locked in there all night, and after I took it he said this was long overdue. He fucking knows me,"
Nobody said anything, and I avoided eye contact as I looked down at mine and Teddy's hands again. "He said I'm so perfect, and he's waited a long time for this. I have no idea who he was, I've never seen him before. Just as he was about to do it again the door opened. I don't know what happened after that." I finished, letting go of Teddy's hand.
I feel gross. Disgusting, even. I need air. I need to get out of here.
"Please tell me you're going to catch him," My mom begged as Deputy Timber stood up.
"I will do my best. I will have a sketch artist come by your home and get his description, and we'll immediately begin searching." He quietly talked to my parents, and I stared at my lap.
"Kiya," The doctor got my attention, and I looked up at him. "I'm very thankful you were ready to share your story. You're a strong woman, and I'm sorry that what happened to you, happened. We already knew there were drugs in your system, only the one drug this man forced you to take. We've taken rape tests and results will be back soon. We will keep you in here for another day, and if you're ready to go home tomorrow you will be able to. If you need anything just press this button and a nurse will tend to you immediately. Okay?" I nodded, and he got the officer's attention, along with my parents.
They walked out, leaving just Teddy and I in the room together.
"I'm sorry," Teddy quietly spoke, and I looked over to see him staring at me. He had red and puffy eyes, tears filling his eyes. "I shouldn't have- I shouldn't have let your parents tell you to join that sorority. I shouldn't have let you be at a party by yourself- fuck!" He exclaimed, standing up and pacing the room. He ran his hands through his hair.
"This isn't your fault." I stated.
"You were alone at that party, Kiya! I had the opportunity to come over there for you but I was so caught up in shutting the sorority down I didn't think about it. I didn't think about the guys that want you and how those guys always look at you!" He continued to pace, and I took in a shaky breath.
"Teddy, calm down. Please." I began to cry, and he immediately realized he was upsetting me so he stopped, coming over and sitting back in his spot.
"I didn't mean to make you cry, I'm sorry." He immediately began to apologize, reaching out and grabbing my hand.
"What happen to your hand?" I asked, changing the subject.
"I punched him. A few good times, but then he got away and I hit the wall once or twice." He admitted.
"He's still out there," I spoke. "He's going to be after me again Teddy, I can't-"
"Hey, hey, hey," Teddy cut me off. "I am not going to let this douchebag around you again, okay? He will never touch you again I promise."
"Swear to keep your promise?" I asked, and he nodded.
"I will never let you get hurt again, Ky. I promise."
