Chapter One - The day that it happened
I remember the day like it was yesterday. It's burned in my memory the night that it happened I had nightmares for a while, they stopped when I got pregnant by my rapist. Who knows if they'll start again. I hope not. But, I want my life back. What happened that day was nine months ago. Can't it just stop? It was nine months ago! Now I'm in the maternity ward at the hospital, I thought nothing could be worse than what happened that night, but, I got a whole lot more coming for me.
Now, I'll tell you about it.
The day was bright and sunny, it was a good one so far. Yuki and Kyo hadn't started their usual bickering that morning. I mean, we're 17, I think they're getting a little old for that game. Plus, the curse was broken. I don't see why they even still have a reason to fight anyway, maybe because that's all they've known. It makes me sad how they only know how to fight, I get Kyo to open up to me every once in a while but, it's not usually for long before someone else makes him mad.
I was bringing lunch out and no one was speaking, I hated when it was like this. I hate these awkward silences.
"Eat up everybody!" I said to break the lingering silence.
"Thank you my flower, this cooking is delicious."
"You're welcome Shigure."
"Yes, Miss Honda, this really is quite tasty."
"Thanks."
"Yeah, thanks."
"You're welcome Kyo." I said with a giggle, Shigure and Yuki always try to woo me with their sweet words, but Kyo, Kyo doesn't do that. If he likes it he does. If he does, oh well. That's what I've always liked about him. "Oh! We'd better get to school!" I said getting up to get my bag, it was almost the end of our second year of high school. Then we would be third years, and then graduating.
We left for school on the sunny morning, hoping for just a normal day. If a whole day could be normal, we'd be happy. But, that never happens. We all knew that.
We walked into school and were greeted by Momiji and Hatsuharu, and Yuki briskly left for student council duties. Kyo and I left to change into our uniform white boring shoes. The shoes that I loathe. We got through the school day just barely, and I left to hang out with Uo and Hana before I went to work. It was really hot that day, I was glad for my short skirt for once. There were a few clouds in thee sky, but I never thought they would amount to anything, I really didn't think it mattered. Uo and Hana had to leave so, I went home to cook something the boys could heat up while I was working. It was 4:30 and I had to work at 5 until 10 so, I headed out to walk. The clouds rolling by were getting darker and darker. 'I hope it doesn't rain.' I remember thinking.
Work was busier than normal, I had a lot more to clean. I swore I was the only person doing anything in that building.
I got off work an hour early, and it was late. I walked outside and it was sprinkling, I took out my pink umbrella and started the walk home. I was about halfway home and I passed an alley where an old man was laying, he looked dead. I didn't see his chest expand once for the minute I stood there staring. I debated between going over to see if he was okay, or walking on. I decided to see if he was okay, I couldn't just leave an old man there dead or not.
"Sir? Are you okay?" He got up and took my arm in an iron grasp "Ouch. Sir you're hurting me."
"Oh, you've got a lot more coming for you." He said
"What?" I said 'What is he talking about?' I thought to myself
"You are as dumb as people say." He said stripping off a wig and a face mask. He wasn't old at all. He was maybe twenty-two at the least. I remember his hitting me on the head, and then I remember waking up in a dark room who knows where. 'Where am I? What's going on....Oh no.' I remember thinking before i spotted that guys eyes looking at me. He was standing in front of the bed, naked as well. He climbed onto the bed and laid over me. The moment he penetrated the place that has never been touched I remember him holding his hand at my mouth to muffle my scream, i remember the tears running down my face. It felt like he was tearing me in half, I didn't let any kind of pleasure set in, this isn't what I wanted, this wasn't supposed to happen. There was so much pain between my legs, I didn't think the tears would ever stop. I couldn't do anything but just lay there and hope he would be unsatisfied and let me go. I felt him go rigid, then felt something liquid enter my body. I didn't know what was going on my head was spinning and when he pulled out, I thought it was over, but, it wasn't. He thrusted back in as hard as he could and I remember passing out.
I woke up and heard water running. 'He's taking a shower. Get out. Get out now!' I thought. I sat up in the bed and realized that all my clothes were still on except for my underwear that was on the bedside table, and I quickly put them on. My hair was a mess, I knew. My shirt was ripped, and my skirt was hiked up showing the whole of my two legs which were stained with blood. I swiveled myself around in bed to the edge and got up. I fell over, my knees too weak. I remember crying again, and gettig up again taking hold of the bedside table until I was able to balance on my own. I started walking, almost falling over again. The pain was unbearable. I don't think I could have walked if it wasn't for that monster in the next room over. I sucked up the pain and made my way out the door. I walked for a little while before spotting the sign outside of my work building and I knew where I was going. I finally made my way home. 'It's probably around 11 now. No ones up probably.' I thought, and was right. The house was dark, and I made my way upstairs. I got in the shower for five minutes just long enough to wash off before going to my bed, I sat for a minute and thought about what just happened and burst out into tears again. I put my head in my hands and just cried. I heard a knock on the door.
"W-Who is it?"
"It's me Tohru." Kyo said
"Y-You can come i-in." He opened the door and came to my side.
"What happened? Are you alright?"
"No, I'm not alright."
"What happened?" I just looked at him and burst into tears again he sat next to me on my bed and took me into his arms rocking back and forth saying "It's okay. Everything will be okay."
"I'm not okay. I......I was..."
"What is it Tohru? It's okay."
"I was r-raped...."
"What?! When?!"
"After work."
"Tell me about it. If you want." I desperately wanted to, but I felt if I told, the monster would somehow find me and hurt me worse than last time.
"I was walking home and I got half way there and there was this man in the alley, he didn't look like he was breathing so I stood there for a minute a whole minute, and I didn't see his chest expand so I asked if he was okay and he took my arm and squeezed it as hard as he could and told me that I had a lot more coming for me and I asked him what he was talking about and he told me I was dumb and he took off a wig and a mask. He couldn't have been more than Shigure's age and he hit my head so I passed out. I woke up and I was on a bed and he was naked, and he..Well, you know what comes next. It hurt so bad. I passed out, and woke up to find him in the shower so I ran away and here we are." I said bursting into tears again. "Don't make me tell it again. Please." I added crying into his chest, his shirt was soaked, I could tell.
"Don't worry. You won't have to go through that again. Not while I'm here."
"Will you stay with me?"
"Of course. Tohru, I have to tell you, I care for you a lot. So I want to help you anyway I can." He said looking into my eyes
"I.....I care about you too, a lot more than I expected."
"Come on. You need sleep." He said laying me in bed and climbing next to me sitting against my headboard.
"Thank you....." I said before drifting into a fitful sleep. That's when the dreams started happening.
A/N: I wanted to show a darker side of Tohru, maybe show what she's thinking in some situations. I'm making it a three chapter story so chapter two will be coming soon.
so feedback is appreciated.
was it good? bad? lemme know!
