Cry

A/N: This story is based on a dream I had. While I was listening to Kelly Clarkson's new CD, All I Ever Wanted, I kept thinking about my dream and how to turn it into a Fan Fiction. Each chapter is titled after one of Kelly Clarkson's songs. I hope you enjoy. Don't own SVU or Kelly Clarkson, just borrowing!

Chapter 1: Cry

"Is it over yet, can I open my eyes, is this as hard as it gets, is this what it feels like to really cry, cry"

MANHATTAN WEST HIGH SCHOOL
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 2009
7:30 am

When seventeen year old Madeline Hanson walked into the doors of her high school on Wednesday morning, she had no clue what was going to happen to her later that morning. She had been having some problems with her boyfriend, Travis Young, and was going to break up with him.

She walked into the locker room to find her best friend, Jennifer Walker waiting for her by the track lockers. "What's up?" she casually asks.

"Nothing. Waiting for you. Marissa's not here today, she's got a doctors appointment." Jennifer greets her friend.

"Okay." the teen answers while working her combination to put her work out clothes in and get her health notebook for her second period.

"I'm not excited about my chemistry test today." Jennifer muses to her friend.

"Hey, neither am I." Madeline replies.

"I know. Mrs. Whatever can be weird some times." Jennifer giggles.

"Ha. It's Mrs. Coy. But she is weird." Madeline laughs back as the five minute bell rings for them to get to class.

"Hey, I better get going, Mr. Branson is kinda picky about when we get to class." Madeline tells her friend.

"Kay. I'll see you in chem." Jennifer replies, shuts her locker and heads to class.

Madeline walks the opposite way because she has English first period. She walks in the door and sees her friend Taylor sitting in her desk texting. "Hey, Tay." the girl says.

"What's up?" Taylor asks.

"Not much. You?" Madeline replies.

"We had a softball game last night. I'm exhausted." the blond answers.

"Did we win?" Madeline asks.

"Yeah, I hit a triple." Taylor replies.

The bell rings to start class and the two girls end their conversation. They half heartedly complete their assignments and listen to their teacher's lecture about The Great Gatsby. Before they know it the class is over and they eagerly get up to go to their next classes.

Senior Travis Young is standing at the end of the hallway waiting for his girlfriend, Madeline to meet up with him, he doesn't know what she's about to do.

Madeline sees her boyfriend and walks up to him. "Hey Travis." she calmly says.

Travis smiles and hugs her in return, but she tries to get out of his grip. "What's up?" he angrily asks.

"I don't want to go out with you any more." she bluntly states.

"Why?" he snaps back.

"Cuz you hit me, hard. More than once. I'm tired of it. I'm done." she says and starts to walk off towards her class.

Travis is infuriated that she had to do that and runs after her, "MADELINE HANSON, GET BACK HERE!" he screams.

She turns around to see him running after her and tries to run into the girls restroom to get away but he grabs her before she can. She screams in hopes of someone hearing her but he puts his hand over her mouth and whispers, "If you scream, you're dead."

She immediately stops screaming as he carries her out to the middle of the football field. The bell to start second period has rung and she wishes she could be in class right now. He throws her down in the mud and starts taking her clothes off. She tries to fight back but he whispers again, "If you fight, you're dead." so she stops. He doesn't say another word while he rapes her twice, puts her clothes back on and leaves.

Madeline just lays there in shock as it starts to rain. She rolls over and finds her purse, gets her cell phone and decides to text Brenda, who's in her health class, "Can you get Mrs. Patterson to meet me outside the door of the classroom?"

"Are you okay? Where are you?" the teen texts back.

"Outside. Just please convince her to stand outside the door. Please." Madeline replies as she stands up and starts walking back to the building in the rain.

********************

Inside Madeline's classroom, Brenda looks at Mrs. Patterson, the teacher's aid, and calmly asks, "Mrs. Patterson, can you come here please?"

The woman walks towards Brenda and asks, "What's up?"

"Madeline just texted me and said she wanted you to meet her outside the classroom door. She wouldn't tell me why." Brenda explains.

"Do you think she's okay?" Mrs. Patterson asks.

"I don't know. I think you probably should go out there though. I don't think she is." the teen answers.

"Okay. I will, just to make sure Madeline's okay." the woman replies and walks over to the teacher's desk, and tells him, "Brenda said that Madeline texted her and wanted me to meet her outside the classroom door. I have a bad feeling that something happened to Maddie."

He nods in agreement, "Well go out there then. Just make sure she's okay."

Madeline enters the building and is relieved by the warmth from the heat. She looks around for Travis but doesn't see him, she sighs in relief and starts making her way towards her health class. She turns the corner and sees the blond Mrs. Patterson standing outside the classroom door and starts running to her.

Mrs. Patterson sees the redheaded girl with wet disheveled hair and clothes, and starts making her way towards Madeline.

"Madeline?" the woman asks as the teen approaches her.

"Hide me." the teen says, panting.

"Whoa, honey, from who?" she asks, trying to get Madeline to calm down.

"My boyfriend." she states.

Mrs. Patterson puts her arm on Madeline's shoulder and asks, "Honey, what did he do? Did he hurt you?"

"I can't…" Maddie cries.

Mrs. Patterson hugs her as she bursts into full sobs, "Shhh, shhh, it's okay now."

Maddie just cries on Mrs. Patterson who gently says, "Sweetie, Mrs. Henry doesn't have class this period. Can we go sit in her room and talk?"

Maddie doesn't look up from her shoulder and mumbles, "I… I guess so."

The woman guides her into Mrs. Henry's open classroom. Mrs. Henry immediately looks up when she sees the presence of Mrs. Patterson and Madeline , "Is everything okay?"

"I need to talk to her, can we use your room?" the blond teacher asks.

"No problem, I was about to run to the office and check my box anyways." Mrs. Henry replies.

"Hang on a minute. I may need you to grab an AP for me." Mrs. Patterson tells her.

Madeline sits down in a desk and puts her head down, hiding the bruises from Mrs. Henry. Mrs. Patterson sits down next to her and gently says, "Honey, you need to tell me what's going on so I can help you."

"T… Travis… r…" she stutters, but can't continue.

Mrs. Patterson looks up at the brunette Mrs. Henry and nods, "AP." "Her boyfriend did something to her, but she's too scared right now to tell."

"Does it matter which one?" the brunette asks.

"Female preferably. Either Branson or McBride." Mrs. Patterson replies.

"Mrs. Branson's not in today." Mrs. Henry states.

Madeline hears this and lets out a sob. "That's not fair."

"Is she your AP?" Mrs. Henry asks.

"Yeah." the teen breathes.

"I'm sorry honey. But Mrs. McBride's really nice, she's good about dealing with boyfriend drama." Mrs. Henry reassures the teen.

Meanwhile, Travis has heard this conversation in the classroom and is furious with Madeline. He storms in and starts yelling, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU TELL HER WHAT I DID?"

Madeline just keeps her head down and ignores him. "HUH? DO YOU HEAR ME MADELINE HANSON? LOOK AT ME WHEN I TALK TO YOU."

She picks her head up to see her supposed to be ex boyfriend seething at her and mumbles, "I hate you."

He slaps her and looks at Mrs. Patterson, who stands up, "I'm writing you up. Sit down on the other end of the room. She doesn't want you anymore."

"THAT'S LOW MADELINE. YOU HAD YOUR FUCKING TEACHER BREAK UP WITH ME FOR YOU. YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO HURT YOU AGAIN." he yells.

On the other side of the curtain, Madeline's class can hear him yelling and her friends are becoming concerned. Brenda looks at their teacher, Coach Newton, and asks, "Do you think someone should go in there? I mean, listen to him."

"Mrs. Patterson's in there. She's trying to control him." he replies.

"Travis is hard to control Coach. I think someone else should go help them. I mean, he can get violent." Brenda protest.

The man sighs and walks to the curtain, pushes it open and sees Travis pinning Madeline up against the wall, slapping her. All the boys in Madeline's class start yelling, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" but Coach Newton turns around, "SIT BACK DOWN NOW!" they all obey, because they know if they don't they will have to run extra laps in football later.

He looks at Mrs. Patterson, "What happened?"

"I had her in here, trying to talk, Mrs. Henry went to get Mrs. McBride, and he stormed in here, started yelling and is now doing this. She wanted to break up with him." the blond woman explains.

When Travis hears about Mrs. McBride, he takes Madeline off of the wall and runs out of the room, and starts dragging her down the hallway. Mrs. Patterson gets up and rushes out the door, followed by Coach Newton. They see him dragging her towards the gyms, because it's raining outside. Coach Newton runs towards them, trying to catch up, but Travis is already by the locker rooms.

*******************************

Thankfully for Madeline, her track coach, Coach Yearwood, is making her way towards the office and blocks the door so Travis can't get any farther.

The woman sees Coach Newton and Mrs. Patterson running after them and becomes concerned for Madeline's safety.

Coach Newton catches up to Travis and he yells, "COME ANY CLOSER AND SHE'S DEAD!"

Mrs. Patterson can see the fear in Madeline's green eyes and wishes she could just nock Travis over, pick Madeline up and carry her to the office, but she knows it's not going to happen that way.

Mrs. Henry and Mrs. McBride have approached the group and see Travis holding Madeline up by her hands, with the rest of her body on the ground. He sees the two women and starts kicking Madeline in her back, hard.

Mrs. McBride immediately radios for backup and says, "Travis, put her down, gently, now."

"MAKE ME!" he screams.

Madeline looks straight into Mrs. McBride's blue eyes and she silently prays that Travis will come to his senses and let her go.

Travis sees the campus police officer approaching the group, drops Madeline on the ground and starts running. Coach Yearwood is the closest one to the teen so she dives in to catch her head before it hits ground.

Madeline looks up at the strawberry blond woman and cries.

"Shhh, it's okay, you're in my hands now. I'm not going to let him hurt you anymore." she soothes and brushes a wet, red curl out of the teens eyes.

The officer has caught Travis, cuffed him, and started dragging him to the office. Coach Newton returns to check on the class that he abandoned almost 30 minutes ago. Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Henry, and Mrs. McBride approach the teen and help Coach Yearwood get her up off the ground.

"Let's just get her into the coaches lounge and then we can bring her to the office after third period starts." Coach Yearwood suggests.

Mrs. McBride looks at the clock and nods, "The bell should ring soon." "I'll radio the nurse and get her to come down here."

Madeline starts shaking her head no and crying harder than she already was.

"Hey, Maddie, honey, it's okay. You've been through too much too fast, let's just sit down in the lounge for a while and calm down. I can always get Mrs. Tyler to come make sure you're okay too." Coach Yearwood says.

Mrs. Patterson looks at the clock, "Guys, if we want to get her out of the hallway, we better move now, the bell rings in two minutes."

"Okay. Come on honey, let's move." Coach Yearwood gently says.

Maddie moans in pain as she starts to walk towards the coaches lounge. This makes the women even more concerned for the teen than before. Coach Yearwood puts her arm around Maddie's shoulder to help stable her. They approach the lounge before the bell rings and Maddie sees the couch and looks at her coach with begging eyes and the woman nods as she watches the teen throw herself onto the blue sofa, grab a pillow, put it over her face and sob. The other three women approach the room as the bell is ringing and look down at the teen.

"This is gonna be a tough one." Mrs. Patterson muses to the other ladies standing at the door.

"I'm sure it will be. But Maddie will appreciate it when it's all over." Mrs. McBride reassures the women.

"She's going to need some kind of counseling to help her get through this." Coach Yearwood adds.

"This is only the beginning, let's just wait and see how it goes." Mrs. Patterson says and approaches Maddie.
