Chapter 2: "Kitty Kat"

It had been after school on Friday when Peggy had her confrontation with Maria. Now it was Monday and she had to go back to school. She hadn't talked to Kat all weekend, and she didn't care. She'd spent all weekend with Lafayette and his friends. Angie had soccer games... Peggy didn't go. Eliza had a veterinarian volunteer test... Peggy didn't help her study. Since when had they done that stuff for her? She enjoyed hanging out with Lafayette.

Lafayette's friends were cool too! You had Alex, a writer and actor who worked non-stop to make sure his education was the best it could be, but still always made time for his friends.

You had John, Alex's boyfriend, who was a singer and artist with an intriguing love for anything that had to do with any type of turtles.

And you had Hercules. Herc was a tailor's apprentice who was big and buff but secretly was very sweet when you got to know him. Peggy and the four hit it off well and became friends almost instantly. It had honestly made Peggy slightly forget about Kat... until Monday.

There was also Herc's girlfriend, Liz. (A/N: Hercules Mulligan's wife was named Elizabeth, but to avoid confusion with Eliza, I named his girlfriend Liz. This is because Eliza or Liza would be confused with Peggy's sister. Back to the story.) She was a very sweet girl!

Peggy walked to her locker. Angie had to be at school early to work on a project, so they were all there 30 minutes before the huge crowd usually arrived. She was getting her Geometry book to get ready for first period when someone pushed her face first against her locker.

"This the one Maria was talking about?" The big guy holding her said to the slightly smaller guy. Peggy could tell they were both on the football team.

"That's her. Yellow tracksuit... just like Kitty said," responded the smaller guy. Peggy's eyes immediately widened.

"Good," the bigger guy said, "I think we'll have some fun with this one."

Peggy knew what he meant and it immediately made her sick to her stomach. She started yelling and trying to fight them, but they easily overpowered her.

"It's ok," said the smaller guy. "This'll be quick, easy, and fun for all of us if you play along. If you don't, we may resort to something even more... harsh."

Peggy, with tears swelling in her eyes... nodded.

They drug her into the large janitors' closet near her locker and threw her over the bench in the middle of the room. The smaller guy, who Peggy could see his name was Charles Lee (it was on his football jacket that he was wearing) tied her hands around it with bungee cords.

(A/N) If this stuff REALLY bothers you, skip ahead until you see the next A/N.

She yelled and screamed but no one could hear her. She felt the bigger guy pull her pants down and she kicked him hard. It barely fazed him though. Peggy knew she was overpowered.

"Don't worry, we'll make this quick. We're gonna pound it into you so hard, you'll be begging for us to fuck you even harder." Peggy didn't know which one of them said it and she didn't care. She tried to fight but her efforts were useless.

They began to rape her. She screamed and sobbed. She closed her eyes and just wanted it to be over.

(A/N) We're good!

Then they were both all of a sudden ripped off of her. She heard a clunk and opened her eyes to see Charles Lee knocked out on the floor in front of her. She looked up to see Hercules holding a metal pipe.

John and Liz untied her as they whispered reassuring things to her. Then they freed her and helped her to her feet. They all looked up to see Lafayette punching the other guy, who was clearly knocked out as well. Peggy realized it was Sam Seabury, the quarterback. Lafayette was brutally beating him.

"Laf stop! You'll kill him!" John yelled as Peggy clung to him, crying. Alex ran over and pulled Lafayette off of Sam.

"Laf, it's done... you can't kill him. I know you want to, trust me... I do too. We can't though, you know that." Alex said sweetly while patting his friend's back.

"Yeah," Herc started, "besides, you have more important things to handle." He gestured to Peggy. Peggy ran over and latched onto Lafayette. She immediately broke down sobbing. She was hysterical, but can you blame her?

Once she had calmed down, they led her out of the closet. Alex locked the door from the outside so that Peggy's assailants couldn't escape. A good amount of people had already started to arrive for school, but they all led her straight out to the parking lot.

"How'd you guys know I was in there?" Peggy asked.

"We heard you scream because we walked in right after you had gotten taken hostage into the closet." Alex said.

"We didn't know what was going on, but Laf recognized your voice almost immediately." Liz added.

Peggy looked up at Lafayette who was holding her close. "Thank you, Laffy," whispered Peggy before turning to say thank you to the whole group.

As they were walking to Laf's car (it was convenient to have someone who was held back be able to drive), Kat got out of her car.

When they passed her, she said: "Peggy, you look like trash. Whatever happened?" She said this dramatically like she didn't know what had gone down.

"We know, you know." John said.

"Thanks Alex, but I got this." Peggy said, turning to Kat.

"You want to be part of Maria's friend group... even if that means letting me get raped, then go right ahead. But I will not and never will stand for it. You've made an enemy Catherine Livingston. An enemy you never thought you would have, but she's ruthless. Her name... is Peggy Schuyler."

Peggy spat in her face and pulled her friends away, quickly. Kat... Catherine stood there shocked. Then she huffed and turned to walk to school.

"Damn Peg." Alex, John, and Herc all said at once.

Lafayette spoke up, "You Guys go on to the car, I need to talk to Peggy for a bit."

The others walked away as Lafayette pulled Peggy to a bench. "Are you ok. You just went through a lot."

"No Laf, I'm not ok. But I'm going to try not to let this bother me."

"Peggy, you were raped. You can't treat this like your distant relative died and you are somewhat sad and inconvenienced. This is serious! Have you even thought about telling Angelica or Eliza or your parents?"

"I'm NOT telling my family. They'd say it's my fault. I know them."

"At least let us call the police."

"No. Lafayette, I get you want to help, but I just want to drop it. I appreciate you so much, I just don't want to let this get to me."

"Ok. It's your call. I know you can handle yourself, I just want to make sure you're ok."

"It's ok Laffy. Thank you for trying to look out for me." Peggy wrapped her arms around him and laid her head in his chest. She fell asleep there. She felt warm, and loved, and safe.

She woke up in an unfamiliar place. She was on a bed that wasn't hers. In a room she didn't know. She looked around frantically, starting to panic. Then Lafayette walked into the room.

Peggy's mouth gaped a bit. He was shirtless. His light brown skin wet from the shower he just had. She noticed his abs and torso line. She had liked him since the day they met, but right now... she liked him a lot.

"Is this your place?" Peggy asked.

"Oh, you're up. Yeah, glorious isn't it?" Lafayette chuckled.

"I wish I had my own place."

"Peggy, you're 15."

"Well you're 16, and you have your own place."

"My family lives in France. I have to live alone if I want to be here."

"Can I move in with you?"

"Peggy, what about your family? You know that they wouldn't be ok with that. Plus, I don't have an extra bed."

"They don't care about me. Plus we could share one."

"What?" Lafayette was getting really flustered.

"I'm saying, I want to be your girlfriend." Peggy slid closer and hugged him.

He didn't return the hug, instead he tilted her head up to make eye contact. It reminded head of when they met less than a week ago. Their lips met.

"Peggy I want to date you, too. Very badly, actually." Lafayette said after their kiss.

Peggy smirked and slammed her face into his. Her hands rubbed over his abs. Lafayette noticed and chuckled. He pulled her hands off of him and said, "Peggy, you know we can't... not yet. Although, once you're 16, maybe I'll reconsider."

Peggy pouted but also blushed hardcore. While she didn't necessarily look down, she could tell Lafayette was turned on too. But he was right.

"Well, I'm not going home any time soon. My sisters haven't texted me yet, which means they don't care enough to wonder why I'm not at school. So what do you wanna do, Laf?"

"Well, right now, we're going to sleep."

"I just woke up."

"Peggy... you need rest, you've been through a lot."

"No I don't need a ton of rest."

"Fine, then the guys and I are going to take you to the doctor."

"No. Neither of them... you know... finished in me." She felt disgusting just saying that. She honestly wanted to cry. She did. She lost it.

When she calmed down, she realized she was laying on the bed curled up against Lafayette's chest. She felt loved and cherished in that moment. It was something she hadn't felt in a while.

She fell asleep, even though she said she wouldn't, and was fine with it. She now had someone who cared about her, even though she had felt deserted by everyone else.

A/N: Thanks for reading the second chapter!
