This is a re- write of my previous story "Darkness" Some events will be the same, but others will be different. This first chapter will be rated T as it includes an assault scene.
Thank you to FrankElza who looked this over for me.
Frozen By Fear.
Chapter 1.
Ricky's POV
I'm in the bathroom, bathing Case when my phone beeps.
"Kyle, can you get that?" I asked, he often came over to help me with Case.
"It's Phoebe" He replies. "Asks if you want to join her and Denny in a new club in Mangrove?"
"I don't know" I say, wrapping Case in a towel.
"Come on, Rick, you dserve a night out," Kyle tells me.
"OK" I say, walking in to my bedroom and placing Case on the bed. kyle sits on the bed beside him.
"I'll sort him, you go and get ready" Kyle says, opening a draw where Case's babygrows are kept. He picks one up with a nappy which he slips on to him, before dressing him. "We'll have fun, won't me, mate"
I smiled, it was nice that Case had Kyle, considering Brax was in prison, serving a prison sentence.
"What are you going to do with him?" I ask, opening my wardrobe and considering my dresses.
"We'll play some x- box, chat up girls" He jokes.
"Kyle" I laughed.
"I'll give him a bottle and read him a story" He explains.
I lay a few dresses on the bed. "Which one?"
"We like the green one, don't we mate?" Kyle asks Case.
"The green one it is, then" I say, taking it in to the bathroom, along with the underwear I picked out. I pull on the underwear, deodorant and the dress, with a pair of black heels. I walk out.
Kyle wolf whistles.
"Oh, shut up" I joke, grabbing the case I kept my make up in. Unzipping it, I tip my make up out and start to apply it: Foundation, conclear, powder, and mascara, and a red lipstick.
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" I questioned.
"Ricky, you know I love spending time with Case" Kyle explains.
"If your sure" I say again.
"Go," Kyle tells me.
I nod, picking up my clutch and kiss Casey's head. "Goodnight, mate" I walk out then, heading to my car. Getting my keys out of my bag, I unlock the car and get inside, put my belt on and turn the radio on, pulling out of the drive.
It doesn't take me long to reach Mangrove, the roads are full with cars and I spot Phoebe's mini. I turn the engine off, grab my bag and get out, locking the doors behind me. I cross the road and walk in to bar.
"About time" Phoebe says, spotting me, she's at the bar.
"Sorry" I say.
"Get this down you," Phoebe says, handing me a shot, she then grabs mine and Denny's hands, dragging us on to the fancefloor where Rita Ora's song: "I Will Never Let You Down" blasts through the speakers. We dance the night away, as we laugh and drink.
"We never get to see each other," Denny says as we sit at a table, sipping our drinks.
I check my phone, it's almost midnight.
"Would you girls like a lift?" I ask.
"I'll ring Uncle Zack," Says Denny.
"OK," I reply, waving as I left.
It's dark when I get outside but I don't worry, the lights are on. Some people are still out drinking.
A guy smirks and steps away from his mates.
"Alright darling?"
I carry on looking through my bag but stopped when I feel a hand on my shoulder through the thin material of the dress, it startles me. I then feel a pressure on my back, as I'm shoved against something, it feels like a wall.
"my mate said something to you"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Get off"
There's a low mutter as they all begin to sorround me. One steps forward.
"No" I realised what was about to happen.
Sickening grins blur in to one, as one grabs my wrists, pulling them tightly, another slips the material of the dress down, touching me, touching where you shouldn't be.
And then it happens, he presses his body against mine, his arms, eother side of me, trapping me, his weight almost knocks me over as he enters me, bruising me. Hurting me.
"Please"
If find yourself in danger, you fight.
I should have done that.
They flee in to the night. I slide down the wall: I feel violated.
My dress is torn, marks are forming around my wrist. Fumbling in my bag, for my phone, I call the one person I know I can rely on.
"Ricky.." Kyle answers, on the first ring. "Case is asleep" He says, assuming that is why I'm ringing.
"Kyle, please listen," I plead. Something's happened, I need you to come and get me"
Ricky, what's happened?" He asks.
I can't say it, if I do, I'll know it's real.
I've just been raped.
The realisation makes me feel sick and I throw up, tears falling down my cheeks, taking my make up with them.
"Ricky" I hear Kyle's voice stilll on the phone. "Ricky, are you, there?"
I curl up as small as I can, trying to block it out, but I hear voices.
She's here" A voice says.
"Go away" I muttered, not wanting anyone to see me.
"Ricky, it's Bianca" She reaches out a hand to me, I notice her taking in the torn dress, the bruises and wonder if it is bringing back memories of her own asssult, but if it is, she doesn't show it. "Kyle, call the police," She says and it's then for the first time, I see him. "It looks like she's been raped"
Bianca crouches down next to me, taking me in to her arms.
"Casey?"
"Heath's got him" Bianca replies. Kyle walks over to us both, taking off his jacket and putting it around me.
"The police are on their way, Rick" He informs me.
Bianca holds me tighter.
Thank you for reading.
