This is the kind of thing you expect to read about in books, and see on the news you never actually believe that it will happen to you. Until it does.

I knew there was somewhere I needed to be, someone I was supposed to meet. But I couldn't bring myself to get up and face anyone. I was just too scared. I felt the tears roll down my face finally breaking free, I'd being holding them back I didn't want them thinking they'd beaten me, when in fact they had both metaphorically and physically.

My phone suddenly started ringing; I'm surprised it still worked after they way it was thrown at the wall. I didn't know where it was it just kept ringing, God; I wanted to answer it to tell someone where I was anyone and above all I hoped it was Shane.

I slowly lifted my head and looked around noticing the contents of my bag had been thrown around the room, my school books had been ripped up, my shoes had been burnt and I finally noticed my ripped clothes that had been thrown on top of me. More tears filled me eyes and pooled in a small puddle on the ground. A sharp pain shot through my ribs and hips, I gave a small moan of pain. The phone stopped ringing, plunging the warehouse into silence. I was alone.

I didn't want to be alone anymore I wanted Shanes strong arms to wrap around me and tell me everything was going to be okay and no-one was ever going to hurt me again. With this in mind I searched frantically for the phone I spotted it near a large wooden create, I got up as quickly as I could, which in my current state wasn't that fast. I dragged on my clothes which had well and truly been ruined and had a faint smell of them, which I tried to ignore. And dived for the phone as I was about to press redial it started to ring again I answered with shaking fingers and heard the most beautiful voice in the world.

"Hi, I've been trying to ring, where are you? I've been sat in common grounds for ages; I've got you a drink and everything. Claire?" Shane sounded concerned but I just couldn't bring myself to reply his voice was like heaven I should have rang him after they left instead of crying like a baby for half an hour.

"Oh, hi...um sorry I...I um..." I didn't know what to say I just wanted him here with me holding me. More tears filled my eyes and I gave a huge sob.

"Claire? Hey what's wrong? Are you crying? Claire?" He sounded really stressed out now and I can imagine he would be on his feet now heading towards the door coming for me.

"Shane please come and get me please don't let them hurt me again please!" My voice had risen in volume and more tears streamed down my face I gave another huge sob and a cry of pain.

"Hey Claire I'm on my way, it's all going to be okay, you understand, Claire? It's going to be okay, just tell me where you are and I'll be right there I promise nobody's going to hurt you."

"Okay" another sob, "I'm in the ware house just outside the university, please Shane...please hurry."

"I am, baby, I'm running."

I heard the large metal door to the ware house swig open hitting the wall with a loud bang, even though I knew it was Shane I still jumped and started to shake all over again. I heard footsteps getting closer and closer and faster and faster as my knight in shining armour got closer to his damsel in distress. The door leading to where I was still curled up on the floor in my tattered clothes swung open revealing the most beautiful site ever. Shane.

He searched the room franticly when his eyes finally rested on me.

"Claire! Baby are you alright? What happened? Speak to me." As he was speaking he moved towards me. I couldn't speak all I could do was look into his beautiful eyes I saw concern, worry and most of all love in those eyes, so much love. Well if he loves you that much where was he when those jerks where all over you? Some voice in my head told me, I pushed the voice away it wasn't his fault if it was anyone's fault it was mine I should of accept that lift from Eve, how can I be so stupid. More tears ran down my face, Shane slowly extended his hand and wiped away the tears that kept coming.

"Claire, please talk to me what happened?" He sounded really worried now and scared, Shane wasn't allowed to be scared he was the rock in this relationship and no matter how much I was hurting I couldn't stand the look on his face much longer.

"I...I ...OH MY GOD SHANE!" I shouted and flew in to his arms which held me close and rocked me back and forth till I finally calmed; down to the level of calm in which you can be in this situation.

"Sh its okay I'm here now, I'm here." Shane's voice helped me calm down I could feel the tension slowly leave my body as I relaxed into Shanes embrace.

After what felt like hours but was only minutes Shane leant back so he could see my face, he held it in his hands and tilted it upwards so I was looking into his eyes once again.

"Claire what happened" his voice was so gentle; almost as if he spoke to loud he thought I would break, "Claire please speak to me." The concern in his eyes grew even more.

"Shane they...they "I gave a huge sob and more tears made their way out my eyes and down my face.

"Who's they Claire baby, who is it?" His voice was still gentle and smooth.

"I...I don't know some frat boys from uni" I gave another huge sob.

"Its okay baby, what did they do Claire? What did they do to you?" his voice was so beautiful I just wanted to fall to sleep listening to the sound of him speaking.

"They...they...raped...me" I whispered between sobs. At first I didn't think Shane understood what I said his face was blank and he didn't move or say anything he just looked at me, when suddenly he crushed me to his body whispering how sorry he was and how much he loved me and how he was never ever leaving me again. I held on tight nothing was going to take me away from Shane again. We stayed like that for a long time until Shane slowly started to stand up he let go of me and I thought he was going to leave and leave me alone because I was broken now. He didn't want me anymore. More tears made their way down my face when Shane bent down and picked me up cradling me against his chest, holding me close. Never ever letting me go.
