Emma sat in the cabin thinking about what had happened the night before. She had unwillingly slept with Travis. Raped. She had been raped.
The knock on the door made Emma freeze. A second later Mads poked her head in;
"Hey!" she said cheerfully "I brought magazines!"
"Hey" Emma replied with weak smile. She wore pants and a sweater to hide the bruises that showered her entire body. Everything hurt.
Mads plopped down on the couch next to Emma as she pulled her knees to her chest. She thought about what happened last night
Emma froze in her spot as the door burst open. Travis strode in and pushed Emma up against the wall.
"Listen bitch" He said in her ear "I win. So make this easier on yourself and cooperate"
He threw her on the floor and began ripped clothes off, ignoring her cries and pleas.
"Earth to Emma" Mads said waving her hand in front of Emma's face
"What.. oh.. sorry" She replied
Mads suddenly became concerned
"Are you okay?" She asked quietly
"Ya. Fine." Emma replied without making eye contact. It was almost as though she wasn't really here, as if she was stuck in last night with Travis. She couldn't get the events to stop replaying in her head and it took all of her effort to keep herself from shaking
"Are you sure" Mads pressed
"Ya" Emma said flatly "Just tired"
"I gotta pee" Mads said. She walked to the bathroom and locked the door. As she was finishing up, looking at herself in the mirror she noticed the blood in the corner of the bathroom. She peered at it closer, and after thinking about it for a minute, decided to drop it.
She opened the bathroom door and was about to walk back to Emma when she noticed something on the bedroom. In the corner of the room next to the dresser was a pile of ripped clothes covered in blood. That's when it hit her. Something did happen last night.
When she sat back on the couch, Emma remained perfectly still, as if she didn't even notice Mads was there. Mads studied her for a moment. Her hands were wrapped tightly around her legs and her head rested on her knees.
"Emma" Mads said
No answer. She didn't even move her eyes off the place they were fixed.
Mads lightly elbowed her arm, causing Emma to recoil away from her, moving a couple of feet towards the edge of the couch.
"Wooah sorry" Mads said hold her hands up in defense.
"No.. no its okay" Emma managed to say.
Mads opened her mouth to ask Emma about the things she had discovered but changed her mind. She decided to wait. She wasn't sure why, but she just had a feeling
