It was Friday, the night Taylor would have her 'date' with Ryan Jones. She was over at AJ's house, about two hours before she had to be home. "Soooo..AJ!"
"Huh?"
"You haven't been listening to me, have you?"
"Umm..yeah.."
"Uh huh..sure. I can't wait till tonight!," She exclaimed happily.
He grinned and shook his head. "You are really excited, aren't you?"
"Yes! No popular guy has ever asked me out! And this is Ryan Jones we're talking about! Mr. Big Football Player himself! I wonder why he asked me out?"
"Maybe he really likes you.."
"I dunno.."
"Just be careful Taylor.. I don't want anything to happen to you.."
"Aww..my big bro is trying to take care of me..," She smiled putting her arm around him.
"Taylor, I don't want anything bad to happen to you.."
"I know..I'll be careful..I won't do anything you would so I should be safe.."
"Hey!"
She laughed and then said, "I better head out..see ya later AJ."
"Bye Taylor.."
It was nearly 7:30. Taylor was waiting in the main room, waiting for Ryan to show up. She had on a pair of black stretch pants and a green shirt, she wore her hair down and had curled it. The doorbell rang and she nearly jumped out of her skin. 'God Taylor..get a grip on yourself..its just the doorbell.,' She thought as she got up.
She opened the door to see Ryan standing there. "Hey Taylor..wow, you look great!"
"Thanks, so do you."
"You ready?"
"Yep..let's go.."
They walked down to where his new Explorer was waiting. He held the door open for her and then got in and drove to the Kappa Alpha Alpha house. It was near the outskirts of the campus, which Taylor noted was sort of close to AJ's house. Ryan parked in front of the house and they walked to the house.
Once inside the crowded, rambucsious house, Ryan took Taylor's hand and took her aruond the house. "You want a drink?,' He asked.
"Umm..sure.."
"Okay..you wait here and I'll be right back."
She nodded and took a seat on a couch. Ryan came back a second later and handed her a coke.
A little while later, Taylor had been talking with some people she knew and with Ryan but was getting tired..or something. "You tried baby?," Ryan asked.
"A little..I think I'm gonna go lay down.."
"Okay..I'll help you up..," He said standing up with her.
She couldn't really remember anything after that. She blacked out. She woke up in a bedroom on a bed with Ryan on top of her. He kissed her forcefully and smiled down at her, "Hey baby.."
"What the hell are you doing?!," She exclaimed trying to push him off.
"Giving you what you want."
"Get off me you jerk!!"
"Shut up you whore! You're here with me, with ME!," He exclaimed, slapping her across the face.
Taylor cried out in pain and surprise. She shoved him with all her strength and he landed on the floor, hard. She ran out of the room as fast as she could and ran out of the house. She could hear Ryan yelling after her, but didn't stop running. Her shirt and pants had both been torn in numerous places. She had no clue where her jacket or shoes were and didn't care at the moment. She was sobbing as she walked down the deserted road. Finally, she came up on AJ's house. 'Oh please let him be home!,' Her heart pleaded.
She stumbled up the steps to his house and knocked on the door. AJ answered a minute later and gawked when he saw Taylor. "What the hell..!,"
Taylor started to sob all over again. AJ wrapped his arms around her and led her inside. "Taylor? What happened?"
"He..he..he..tried to rape me!"
"Oh my god...are you okay?"
She nodded, "Yeah..I..I didn't know what was going on! I think he put something in the drink he got me.."
"Oh god Taylor. I'm so sorry..are you sure he didn't do anything to me?"
"Other than rip my clothes, no.."
"Sweetie, what happened to your face then?," He asked lifting up her face.
"He slapped me.."
"God, when I find that prick, he's gonna pay.," AJ fumed.
"AJ please..I just wanna forget about him and what happened.."
"Come upstairs and I'll get you some clothes, then you're going to bed.."
She followed him slowly up the stairs and into his room. He handed her a t-shirt and a pair of boxers and watched her go in his bathroom to change. 'God..that asshole will pay for hurting her like that..,' He thought.
Taylor came out, holding on to the boxers. "I think your boxers are a bit big on me.."
"Whatever..here, climb under the covers and try to get some sleep.."
"Where are you gonna sleep?," She asked walking over.
"In the other room.."
Taylor climbed under the covers and then grabbed AJ's arm when he started to leave. "Will you stay with me?"
"Taylor.."
"Please AJ..I don't think I can sleep.."
He sighed but nodded, "Okay..scoot over."
She slid over to the other side of the bed and he crawled in. He flipped off the light and roled over. Taylor looked over at him and smiled, 'Thank you AJ.."
"No prob. Taylor.."
The next morning, Taylor woke up disoriented. It took her a minute to remember what happened and where she was...and it didn't help that AJ's arm was practically smothering her. "Ugh..AJ..move your arm!," She said pushing his arm off of her.
He grumbled something and rolled over. Taylor smiled and sat up a little more. AJ groaned, "Taylor, go back to sleep."
"AJ..come on, get up!"
"No..," He whined covering his face with the covers.
She smiled and crawled on top of him so she was straddling him. "Come on..you gotta get up..please AJ?"
"Well if you stay on me a little while longer, we'll see.," He said grinning.
"You are such a perv!," She exclaimed hitting him with a pillow.
He laughed and tried to shield himself from the pillow. "Ow! Okay! Taylor, stop!"
"Oh alright.."
"Did you sleep okay?," He asked pushing her off of him.
She landed on her side and grinned, then it dropped off her face. "Yeah..I did actually. Is my face still bruised?"
He reached up and touched the side of her face, "Yeah, a little bit.."
"Ouch! It still hurts.."
"I'm sorry..do you need to get to the dorm?"
"Yeah..I have to do a paper."
"K..get up and we'll head out.."
"Okay.."
They each went their own way to get ready and within the hour, they were ready.
They got in AJ's mercedes and drove towards the dorm. When they pulled up in front of the dorm, a small crowd of people were around a car..Taylor's car.
Taylor pushed through the people and stood shocked at what she saw.
