Save Me
Chapter 1 - This night at the beach
The sun was down. Outside, a meek breeze was sweeping the sands off the beach. A few meters away, two half drunk persons were walking, laughing, having fun. One of them was Marissa Cooper. The other one was Trey Atwood. Turning quickly, Trey grabbed Marissa and started tickling her. The brunette begged him to stop, although she was laughing. Both of them were feeling dizzy, thus, they fell on the sand, Trey on top. That's when their eyes met.
- Trey... Marissa warned him, noticing his glare. He put his finger on the girl's lips and moved closer.
- Come on, he whispered. That's when Marissa got violent and started pushing him.
- Trey I said STOP. Marissa noticed his eyes were red. He wasn't acting normally... what was wrong with him? She wasn't feeling that secure anymore, he was way too strong.
- Trey you're hurting me... He wouldn't let go. He held her tighter, trying to keep her still as he approached his lips. She felt tears on her cheek as she realised there's nothing she could do...
Alex Kelly parked her jeep and got out. There was no way she could pass by Orange County and not stop by the beach. She started walking on the sand. What a wonderful night. The starts were out, the wind was just warm enough. Putting her hands in her pocket, she remembered her last visit on that beach. The bonfire. She sighted. That was something she would rather forget... That's when she heard her. Alex stopped, trying to localise the voice. There was no mistake possible : She would recognise Marissa's voice from miles away. Scanning the beach, the found what she was looking for and ran.
- Please stop... Marissa was now crying, hitting Trey on the chest. She could feel his fingers in her skin. Her blood was pulping...
- WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! Screamed someone. Marissa felt the lost of Trey's weight on her and noticed someone had removed him. Quickly, the person grabbed her hand and helped her to stand up. Everything was foggy around her. The person forced her to run, as far as possible. Slowly, Marissa was regaining her vision. Looking behind her, she noticed Trey was out of sight. She stopped running. The beach was empty. Did he run away? Maybe he stayed where he was? Her whole body was in pain. Turning around, she bumped in her rescuer. She blinked a few times.
- Alex? She mumbled. The blonde glanced at her. She noticed Marissa's shirt was torn, and the bruises were already showing up at some places. It will only get worse in the next hours... She stayed still, not knowing what to say. Marissa jumped in her arms, holding her tightly.
- Thank you, she whispered in a trembling voice, tears still falling on her cheeks. Alex rubbed her back, trying to act cool. The truth was, she was still in shock.
- It's okay, she said in a reassuring voice. They stood in that position for a while. Marissa wasn't letting go of her, and Alex didn't dare make the first move. Finally, Marissa backed off. Alex hesitated for a moment, then got closer and dried her friend's tears with her fingers. They lips were almost brushing. Their eyes met. Alex backed off and forced a smile. So did Marissa.
- Come on, Alex said, I'll get you home. Marissa nodded and followed the blonde to the Jeep. As they sat down, Alex asked :
- You mother's house?
- Where else, Marissa said. The ride was silent. Neither one of them knew what to say, although they both had so much in mind. Marissa noticed with sadness that they had arrived. She felt safe in Alex's car. Alex had always been her escape from her world. The engine stopped. She could feel Alex's eyes on her. She wanted her to leave. Maybe, but Marissa didn't want to. This was all so awkward. Against her will, Marissa put her hands on the door handle and pulled it. That's when she felt Alex grab her wrist. She looked up.
- Will you be alright? Alex asked. Marissa nodded. She turned to leave, but Alex didn't let go of her wrist.
- If there's anything I can do...
- Will you stay tonight? The words had come out before Marissa could have held them.
