*Always You & I*Nick pulled into the driveway and ran to the door.
“Damn it, its locked.”
He fumbled through his keys and found the one that went to my house, and opened the door. The place was a total wreck. He came in calling my name. He tried to push back any bad feelings that were now rising in his gut. He ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time. He got to my room and saw me struggling with guy on top of me.
“Get off of her, you son of a bitch!” and grabbed him off of me.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* While Nick took care of him…. I crawled in the corner with my knees curled up to my chest with my face buried. Hoping it would all end soon. I tried to hold back the tears but couldn’t.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Nick and the guy were fighting til Nick sent him flying into the bookcase. Then the guy got up and charged at him. He turned , but not in time. He was pushed put of the room and into the closet in the hall. They continued to fight. Then all of a sudden I heard this big crack and a thud. I cried harder. Hoping that nothing had happened to Nick , I tried to getup and look but I couldn’t seem to move. Nick had thrown him through the banister and he fell to the floor from the top of the stairs. He turned and remembered that he left me in the bedroom alone. He ran up of the stairs taking them two at a time. He came into my room and called out my name. He couldn’t see me because of all of the stuff that was all over the room from the fight and struggle. He walked through my room moving stuff out of his way.. He finally found me huddled in a corner. He came over to me and placed his hands on me.
“Brie, Brie, it’s me… “
I knew that voice and it was music to my ears. I looked up all puffy and teary eyed and threw my arms around him and buried my face in his chest , crying.
“Shh…shh… it’s ok now….it’s all over….it’s all over now.”
“I’m so scared.”
“I know…but there’s nothing to be scared about now.
"I’m here.”
“Hold me, Nick, just hold me.”
He drew me in close and held me tight.
A little later, the cops came. There was stuff everywhere and things were missing.. which had not gotten too far. They sat me down and had me tell them what I knew.
“Well…I don’t remember too much.. but I’ll try my best.” I gulped. Nick was right by my side, holding my hand. I began to tell the horrible story.
“I was sleeping and I thought I heard a noise but didn’t think anything of it and then I rolled over and looked at the time and that is when I saw this guy on my bed and I screamed. He put his hand over my mouth and he started to take the covers off me and I tried to escape.” I swallowed and took a breath.
“I finally got away and ran down the stairs and called my boyfriend Nick . Then he came up behind me, yelled at me and pulled my hair and dragged me up the stairs and threw me down on the floor. Then he picked me up by my hair and dragged me up on the bed.” I gulped again …
“It’s ok “. I tried to continue without crying.
“He got up on top of me and I tried to fight him off, but he was too strong.”
“Is that all?”
“Ummm….” I was crying by this time.
“I am trying to remember!” I yelled, shaking. Nick gave me a hug and calmed me down.
“Umm… He held my arms above my head…And… he touched me…He… he.. pulled down my straps …”
“Ok , go on miss..”
“I tried to get him to stop.. I screamed… I fought as hard as I could but it didn’t help. I think I hurt him because he hit me and I don’t rememeber what happened after that.”
The officer scratched his head and put his pencil down. “Ok.. I guess that we have a attempted robbery and possible rape”
“He raped me?.” I was shaking bad and crying even harder now, realizing the consequences of the situation.
“We don’t know for sure yet, but you need to go to the hospital and get an exam.” the cop said.
I turned to Nick and saw a worried look on his face and knew that he was scared for me.
“Oh God, what if he did rape me, Nick?” I was crying on his shoulder and he looked up teary eyed
The cop turned and looked at Nick and said “I know this is hard for her but we have to know what happened.”
A little later, Nick had to take me to the hospital. It was a silent ride there, no words spoken at all. Nick didn’t know what to say to make it any easier for me, but he knew that whatever the results, he was going to be my side. He just drove while holding my cold and shaking hand.
