Shamed
AN: This one shot is written from Marty's point of view and it is based on the following lyrics:
"It crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care, I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can touch, I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor" (Lyrics from Natalie Imbruglia's Torn)
I closed my eyes waiting for him to finish ramming his hatred into me. I could feel his poison spreading into me as he ejaculated and then he was gone and I was all alone on the piers.
I opened my bruised and swollen eyes and I saw the rain as it was falling. It was appropriate somehow that mother nature would rip the sky's apart the night that I was raped yet again. I looked up at the once perfect sky and realized that it was just as torn as I was as the lightening flashed and the clouds scattered.
I retreated into my own skin as the overwhelming shame that I was still lying on the floor naked hit me. I could hear footsteps coming my way and I wanted to dissapear. I didn't want to be discovered this way. I was the poster child for rape in this town as it was and I wanted a different identity...one where I wasn't marked by this horrible crime.
"Oh my god Marty...what happened to you?" I heard Todd ask as he approached me.
It was like a god damn karmic nightmare that Todd would be the one who found me in my shame.
"I'm fine...just leave me alone."
"You're not fine...somebody has hurt and defiled you. Who was it?" Todd said as he took off his coat and wrapped me up in it.
I flinched away from his touch, but he expected it and he held onto me anyways as he picked me up into his arms. "Where are you taking me?" I cried out.
"Hospital...you need a hospital."
"No...I just want to go home. Nobody can know...I can't press charges against him again. My son's in prison and he'll kill him or worse rape him if I send him to prison again," I said as the tears began to fall.
"What do you mean again? They've hurt you before...who was it?" Todd asked as I saw the realization of the KAD ghosts hitting him.
"It was Zach...he made parole and he's very angry with me."
Todd let out a feral cry as he shook with rage. "You need to go to the hospital, don't worry about Zach...he will never hurt you or anybody else again," Todd stated as he carried me towards Llanview Hospital.
Kyle Lewis took me in an examination room and Todd took off without saying anything.
XOXOXO
I felt somebody's hand touch mine...I opened my eyes and saw Todd sitting by my side taking my hand into his.
"I'm sorry...I didn't mean to wake you. Go back to sleep."
"Where did you go?" I asked as I saw the bruises on his knuckles.
"I kept my promise to you. Zach will never hurt you or anybody else again."
I looked into his cold, penetrating eyes and I knew that Zach was dead. I shivered as I realized that I was relieved and thankful that Todd had been the one to find me. He covered me with the blankets and stayed by my side until I fell asleep.
