Random idea, not quite sure what I want to do with it yet. Reviews would be great.

Part One: Blame Is A Killer

"You need to stop" Alex stated firmly taking a hold of Marissa's forearms, stilling her movements.
"Get your hands off me!" Marissa screamed. She began to violently shake her arms to rid herself of Alex's firm grip.
"Marissa stop!" Alex commanded, for a fleeting moment Alex saw a glimpse of the old Marissa in the brunette's eyes, but as soon as the image appeared it was gone.
"Let go!" Marissa screamed once again, "I hate you!" She continued, upon hearing those words everything stopped. Alex felt her hands loosen and Marissa tore her arms out of Alex's grasp. The blonde took a few steps backwards subconsciously; it was almost as if her feet had a mind of their own.

In that moment, Marissa froze. She couldn't believe the words had actually come out of her mouth. She took a step towards Alex, but for every step she took, Alex took one back.

"Alex I"
"Stop" Alex stated abruptly.
"I-"
"Let me guess you didn't mean it." Alex interrupted; neither took their eyes off of each other.
"I didn't" Marissa said shaking her head in the process.
"Then why did you say it?" Alex questioned, she searched Marissa's face for an answer.
"It just came out, I was angry…" Marissa's voice trailed off.
"Obviously it came out for a reason, clearly there's something you're not telling me." Alex folded her arms across her chest, and Marissa felt a wall begin to build itself up around the blonde.

Marissa squeezed her eyes shut knowing what was going to happen. No matter how hard she pushed him back, how hard she tried to get him off of her the fact of the matter was he was bigger and stronger. He pushed his lips onto hers and forcefully jammed his tongue into her mouth. Turning her head Marissa broke the contact between their lips, causing fury to rise in the eyes of her attacker.

"Stop acting like you don't want this!" He sneered at her.
"I don't!" Marissa shouted loudly, trying again to push him back.
"Well that's too fucking bad," He whispered loudly into her ear, letting his hand trail down her sides. No one touched her like that, no one expect for Alex and Marissa felt herself shudder at the touch.
"You like that don't you baby?" His voice was booming in her ears, clamping her eyes shut Marissa tried desperately to block out everything, his voice, his touch, his presence.

They'd been like that for awhile; fighting, bickering, there was no playfulness behind the words or actions anymore. There was an obvious shift in the relationship, Marissa had become angrier. Alex tried to be patient, she tried to be understanding, but Marissa pushed her to her limits on a constant basis. There was only so much she could take and she had reached the point where enough was enough, no matter how hard she tried to keep herself in check, she couldn't keep taking it. She knew she couldn't blame Marissa for anything; the incident had taken its toll on both of them.

"You were supposed to save me." Marissa finally murmured keeping her welled up eyes fixated on the ground between them.
"I…" Alex paused; she didn't know what to say. Every day since it had happened she blamed herself for not being able to stop it, for not being there, for not being able to protect her. 'She blames me too', Alex thought to herself unable to meet Marissa's eyes.
