Chapter one
Chloe sat in the corner of her friends living room slightly annoyed at the situation she has found herself in. When her best friend Liza invited her over tonight she failed to mention the party that was going to be happening at the same time. She had her ear buds in watching the room tensely. Chloe pulled her hood of the black hoodie down ever so slightly lower over her eyes just enough that it would make anyone who dared to come close to think twice. Her raven black hair was tucked neatly inside the hood to also make anyone second guess if she was truly a girl or not. It helped that her slim figure was hidden by the oversized hoodie the thought made her smirk slightly.
She hadn't seen her friend since she had arrived and was getting very annoyed at this point. Just as she was about to just ditch this horrible evening Liza finally found her and frowned immediately.
"Dare god Chloe you chose to wear that tonight," Liza pouted and reached out gripping Chloe's wrist dragging her up and towards the stairs. If it had been anyone else Chloe might have gone to jail for beating someone.
"Well this is what I wear when I think we are just hanging out watching movies," Chloe grumbled letting herself be dragged. Liza had been her best friend for years and everyone questioned why. They were exact opposites and Chloe surprisingly liked it that way. She knew she needed someone a little more social in her life to make sure she didn't become a hermit.
"Well…" Liza had no retort for that comment, she knew she had tricked her friend into coming to a party. "Oh, quiet I will just have to give you my clothes so you can I don't know look like a girl and not a hobo," Liza grumbled back. Chloe finally started to fight the grip knowing full well what Liza was trying to do.
"Liza no please I like hiding in my baggy clothes please," She pleaded wondering when Liza got so strong. She frowned as Liza opened her bedroom and shut them both inside. Chloe glared at her friend crossing her arms. "You know if you want me to dress in your clothes you are going to have to do it yourself," Chloe smirked hoping that this would be the end of the idea. Oh, was she wrong, Liza tackled her down stripping her of her clothes before digging through her own closet for an outfit that would be perfect for her grumpy friend. Chloe tried to cover as much as her naked body as humanly possible.
"Here we go this is perfect," Liza whipped around to show Chloe the shorts that were an inch away from being underwear and a tank top the at least was slightly Chloe's style by having a Five nights at Freddy's video game logo on it. The whole thing screamed 'Hey look at me and all the modesty I don't have,' Chloe huffed out a breath and turned to reach for her old clothes. Liza cut her off throwing the outfit at her. "Change into this I am going to hide these for the rest of the night," Liza stuck out her tongue before slipping out of the room.
"Someone is going to have to remind me why I'm friends with her," she mumbled under breath as she slipped on the skimpy clothes. She left her hair down so it could at least cover some shame, It stopped just about her breasts which was find by her. She was happy that Liza at least left her, her favorite pair of sneaker. Though they both knew that was more for personal safety than anything else, Chloe couldn't make it five steps in anything with a heel before falling flat on her face. Chloe decided against looking in the mirror as she slipped out and reluctantly headed downstairs.
She managed to get downstairs without anyone really noticing her. Chloe let out a deep sigh and went about hunting down Liza to at least hide behind her for the rest of the night.
"Well, well what do we have here," A slurred voice came from behind her. She stiffened and kept walking deciding it was better to ignore the voice than to turn and acknowledge that it was even there. She made it all of a couple feet before a strong hand gripped her shoulder turning her to face him. "Don't ignore me," It was a boy no older than nineteen, his eyes had a slight glaze to them from the alcohol that she didn't have to stand close to smell all over him.
"I will ignore who I please," she said her voice even as she tried to pull out of his grip. He held firm and she was starting to get annoyed. She focused on that feeling because the other option was not what she wanted this man or any other to see on her face. He glared down at her tightening his grip a drunken smile playing on his lips. Chloe winced knowing that it would leave a bruise on her pale skin.
"Oh, come on sweet lips I can show you a good time," He pulled her closer and tried to kiss her. Out of instinct she brought her knee up to meet his crouch. She pulled away and darted for the kitchen as he doubled over in pain and the other party goes collectively laughed at his frailer and pain. Chloe was trying to catch her breath and not tremble as she looked around trying to find Liza.
Chloe spent a good twenty minutes searching for her friend while keeping an eye around every corner for the boy she humiliated. She took a deep breath and texted Liza, who she knew didn't have her phone on her during this party, that something had come up and she had to leave. She ran for the door and quickly left the cold air hitting her making her shiver. She groaned but didn't have time or the nerve to head back in to find her old clothes; she would just have to find them tomorrow while she chewed her friend out for everything. She looked around and started off down the road to her home. She knew it would be a long walk and cursed herself for not bringing her car.
"I'll pick you up don't worry about it girlfriend," Chloe mumbled a mock at what her friend had said earlier that day. She held herself trying to keep some sort of heat in her body.
She was about half way back to her home as she entered the little town that separated her house and Liza's it had to be around two in the morning at this point no doubt the party was still in full swing. Chloe hopped that Liza had gotten her text by now so she wouldn't be freaking out; though it would serve her right. She was deep in thought not noticing the second set of footsteps that followed her own. She passed by a dark alley way not thinking twice before someone grabbed her by the collar and dragged her into the darken side street.
"I told you not to ignore me," The familiar voice made her blood run cold. She was thrown to the ground the boy blocking the way of escape. Her should barked in pain as it connected with the dirty hard ground. She looked up as he started to come closer.
"S..Stop don't come any closer," she whimpered out and cursed herself for not sounding braver. The only answer she got was a chuckle. She started to back away as much as possible trying to get to her feet. Before Chloe knew it her back had hit the dead end of the wall. Her heart was hammering in her chest as fear truly took her over. The boy stepped close and gripped her throat to keep her in place and ad a bit of pressure so she knew what would happen if she struggled. Chloe winced and struggled for a firm breath but all that could come out was a wheezing noise that sounded more like a balloon losing air. He pressed himself against her body leaning into to rip the left strap of her tank top exposing her part of her breast and bare shoulder, why did she let Liza talk her into not wearing a bra. He leaned and bit down on her bare shoulder causing her to cry out and tears to run down her face. He brought his knee between her legs pressing on the sensitive area and she hated herself for it feeling even the slightest bit good. She tried to hold back her sobs as he went to move to her breast.
"I can promise I won't be gentle," he growled into her ear about to unbutton her shorts before something hard hit the boy in the back of the head causing him to turn around letting her go to fall to the ground. She gasped out breathes as she hyper ventilated holding herself. Someone was standing at the end of the alley way. She could tell the person was male but other than that she couldn't make out much.
"I suggest you leave her alone," The voice was soft yet full of rage. She knew that voice but couldn't quite place the name. Her attacker let out a low laugh.
"Or what, why don't you just run along nothing for you to see here just having some fun with the bitch over there," he pointed his thumb back to Chloe still couldn't slow her breathing. She felt like she was about to pass out, but she fought not to, she had to keep herself calm. The other male stiffened at the words and came closer to the pair.
"I will not let you do as you wish to this poor girl," He was now right in front of the attacker and connected his fist with the boy's jaw. He hit the ground with a groan before standing and trying to punch back. The savior was quick and managed to step out of reach before letting his foot meet his ribcage. A small trickle of blood came from the boy's mouth as he struggled to his feet. He looked from Chloe to the hero and glared before running off. Chloe let out a whimper that caught the attention of the man who ran to her side. She was trembling so hard her muscles ached and she was afraid her teeth would break from the force of the termers.
"Are you hurt?" His words were laced with worry as he looked her over looking for any damage. She shook her head keeping her eyes down tears still streaming down her cheeks. He nodded and pulled his coat off and wrapped it around her shoulders pausing at the bite mark and bruise that was already starting to spread. He clenched his jaw helping her to her feet. Chloe stumbled leaning into him noting the warmth of his touch. "What's your name?" He asked carefully not wanting to make this worse.
"C…Chloe, " she answered meekly finally looking up to meet his eyes. They were the deepest chocolate brown she had ever seen. His grip was strong yet gently as well causing her to relax at his touch.
"Hello Chloe my name is Mark," He said simply with a goofy gentle smile. Her eyes slightly widened as she realized where she had heard his voice before. Liza was obsessed with him he was a youtuber.
"Like Mark from Markiplier," she blinked at him before she felt her knees give out. He scooped her up into his arms as he walked them both out of the alley way.
"Well yes are you a fan," he didn't look at her, he just kept his eyes alert for any other danger as he walked her towards what she assumed to be his car.
"Not exactly my friend is so I have seen a few of your videos well heard any way," she admitted sheepishly. Mark nodded carefully as he set her down just long enough for him to be able to open the door and slide her into the passenger seat buckling her up. "W..where are we going," she asked as she ran to the other side getting in and starting up the car turning the heat on high.
"I am going to take you to the hospital to get checked out," he said plainly pulling away from the curb. She bit her lip but didn't object knowing she had some minor injuries. She closed her eyes loving the heat that was engulfing her and soon it dragged her under into a deep dreamless sleep.
