This is my first fic, so I hope someone likes it. Umm……that's all I got to say, comments are appreciated. Oh and Bam's not with Missy or Jenn in this, because I don't know what they're like, so I had to invent someone that I could make up things about.
Bam arrived home in the late evening. He had just gotten back from dropping his current girlfriend, Samantha, off at the airport. If you could even call her his girlfriend. She seemed more like a casual date than anything else. Samantha was a model and always on the run, doing shows or going to auditions and they hardly saw each other between that and Bam's busy schedule. But, she was really cute and fun to be with, so he stuck with her.
He walked into the house that he shared with several people at any given time. He walked past April who was sitting on the couch nervously and went straight to his bedroom. Just as he was about to turn the door, April said, "Bam, wait, before you go in there, I have to tell you—"
But Bam had already opened the door and saw what April was trying to tell him about. "Who the hell is that?" he asked, indicating the young girl curled up in his bed. She lay there, staring straight off into nothingness never blinking. Her face was tired and she looked as if she hadn't rested for days. She looked to be no older than twenty with shoulder-length dirty blond hair and green eyes. "And why is she in my bed?"
"Shh," April said, walking into the room with him. She didn't want Bam's confused ranting to startle the girl. Her face and tone of voice were serious and worrying. "I went out to get the mail and she was lying out across the street by the edge of the woods. She's hurt and I think she's in shock too…..I think she may have been raped." It was almost of if it hurt April to utter that last word.
"Is this a joke or something?" Bam said, disbelieving the situation's likeliness. "Because if it is, it's not a very good one." He then looked and saw what the girl was wearing. "And why is she wearing my hoodie?" he demanded, pointing to the black HIM sweatshirt she had on.
"Bam, it's not a joke!" April insisted. "She only had on a thin tank top and her underwear and she was shivering, so I put your sweatshirt on her. It was warm and roomy enough for her. We put her in your room because she needed somewhere to lie down. We didn't take her upstairs because she could be hurt and the ambulance is supposed to be on its way. We called them fifteen minutes ago, and I don't know what's taking so long!" April exclaimed, exasperated.
"Ape, this is a bunch of bullshit," Bam said, rolling his eyes. He still thought she was trying to pull his leg. "Look, whoever you are, nice try, but I'm not falling for it." He reached out to shake the girl's shoulder, but April cried out and grabbed his hand, stopping him.
"Don't!" April exclaimed. "Don't touch her! She freaks out when men touch her. Your dad tried to help carry her into the house and she started screaming and kicking and punching. That's why we think she was probably raped."
Bam shook his head and rolled his eyes again. "Look," he said, reaching out and placing his hand on the girl's arm. She immediately recoiled from the touch and screamed. Her unfocused eyes jammed shut and she fought her way to the other side of the bed away from Bam. She curled into a little ball on the edge of the bed shivering, Bam's blankets having been thrown off in her mad thrashing. Her body exposed, Bam saw blood dripping down the back of her legs.
April immediately went to her side, trying to calm her down. "Shhhhh," she whispered. She took one of the girl's hands in her own and gave it a squeeze. With her other hand, she stroked her hair lovingly. "It's okay sweetie. Mama's here," she said, softly. "I've got you…..I've got you….." Slowly the girl's sobbing subsided thanks to April.
Bam was at a loss for what to do in the situation. All he knew was they were running out of time and couldn't rely on the ambulance for help apparently. "Ape, where's Phil?"
April looked up from the girl for the first time since her episode. "I sent him upstairs to look for bandages," she answered.
"Tell him to forget that," Bam said. "I'll drive her to the hospital." He made a movement like he planned to pick her up, but instead thought better of it, saying, "Actually, you better come and keep her company. Can you carry her out to the car by yourself?"
"I'll have to," April replied.
Okay, so that's chapter one. I know it's kinda short but it's just the prologue, so hopefully it was good. Please review and I wouldn't flame your guys' stuff, so don't flame me all right?
