REALIZATION - helpless
"SMILEY RILEY! Come here! I can help you out if poor Lukey-boo doesn't want to" shouts a voice from behind her.
Riley shudders, and continues moving towards the train. The people on the platform are pushing and shoving against her body, but she knows that she needs to get to the train.
"RIIIIIILEY, why don't you stop a little bit? Let us catch up! We just wanna play a game" another voice sings menacingly. Riley bites her lip to keep her from crying out, and she keeps a tight grip on her bag as she fights her way against the bustling of the other passengers. She just needs to go to school. She just needs to get away.
Unfortunately, one passerby bumps into Riley all too forcefully, causing her to stumble back. She knew that nobody was there to catch her, so she closes her eyes and braces herself from the impact of the floor, but it doesn't come. She feels cold arms wrap around her, familiar cold arms. Her heart stills for a moment, and she opens her eyes only to be met with three pairs of eyes shining wickedly down at her.
"Oh look boys, we finally caught up. Smiley Riley here seems to have gotten pushed" Donny crooned while he tightened his grip on her. She felt his nails dig into her skin and tried to squirm away from his touch.
Beside Donny stood two other boys, Olly and Asher. She knew them all too well. They were her tormentors.
She had met them through Lucas. They were his team mates on the football team. All three of them were seniors, and rumors about them were heard frequently around school. They were troublemakers, playboys, and rich kids with too much money and too little attention from their parents. They fought anyone who even dared to contradict them, and after, they would throw money at the principal to help stop them from getting any sort of punishment. Once they had their sights set on someone, they'd do anything and everything to get what they wanted.
And apparently, they wanted her.
At first, it seemed funny to her and her friends. The three seniors started frequenting Topanga's, and they started hanging around Lucas more. She even thought they were nice because they asked a lot of questions about her and they would push kids out of her way whenever she was walking through the halls.
But then things started getting weird. The three learned of the Triangle, and they started making jokes about how Lucas couldn't get laid. Lucas played it off as nothing because he wanted to get along with his new team mates, so he accepted whatever they said without argument. They started following her wherever she went. Every time she was alone, they would surround her and find any opportunity to grab her by the arms or pull her into a bear hug. They started groping her body and playing with her hair. She remembers one incident where it became apparent how malicious their intentions were.
She was alone in the hallway. She decided to help her father out by organizing his office while he's on detention duty.
It was way too late for her to be there, and the hallway is completely pitch dark, except for the one light shining inside the classroom where her father is busy looking after the punished students. She's carrying papers from the staff room to the classroom when a pair of arms wrap around her waist.
"Hey Smiley Riley" Asher whispered against her ear. She jumps and all the papers fall from her hands and onto the floor.
"Oh no, Riiiiiiiles. Looks like you've made a mess" Donny chastises as he appears in front of her. He shakes his finger in front of her and points at the papers lying on the ground.
She feels pure terror in her veins as she watches Donny step closer until he's invading her space. At this point, she's stuck in between Asher, who's still holding her arms behind her back, and Donny who's smirking down at her.
"Oh hey guys, um why are you still here? Are you guys in de-detention? Di-did training end late?" she stammers, unable to even struggle away.
"Nope….we were looking for you, Matthews" Olly replied as he stepped into her view. He circled around them all and looked at her from head to toe, as if he was judging her.
"Uhhh why?" she whispers, trying to remain cool and collected despite her inner panic.
"Shhhhh" Donny says softly. He placed his finger on her lips to shush her, and she shakes as he slowly drags that finger down her face. It reaches her chin and she squeaks. The finger continues downwards until it touches her collarbone.
"Don't you think that there's too much in the way, Dons?" Asher asks playfully. She can feel his hands squeeze her forearms, and she closes her eyes in pain.
Donny hums in agreement and begins to pull at her top with his other hand until she feels the thread begin to tear. She refuses to open her eyes as she feels the finger that lies on her collarbone begin to inch lower and lower. She screams as the finger is right above her breast, but the scream is covered by Donny's hand.
The finger goes down and down and down, but it never stops. She opens her eyes and sees Donny giving her an evil smile. Olly is behind him with a phone in his hand, recording everything.
No no no this can't be happening. She uses her legs and tries to push Donny away but Asher wraps one of his legs around both of hers, locking her in place.
"That's enough, Donny. Detention's almost over, her dad's gonna be finished any second now" Olly warns. She feels tears running down her cheeks and she bites on the hand that's covering her mouth. "Besides, we got what we needed."
"Great, guess I've got something to watch later tonight" Donny laughs.
"Who needs porn when we've got you, Smiley" Asher whispers. His breath burns her ears and she uses her back to push against him.
"Now now, no need to get all worked up, Riles. We're letting you go….but if you even try to tell anyone about what happened here, this video's gonna be on the internet before you even finish pleading your case" Olly warns.
"Do you understand, Riles? We play with you and you don't say a word…or else" Donny repeats. She nods quickly, and they let go of her. She falls to the floor, and struggles to breathe. Her knees hurt from hitting the ground too hard, but all she could do was grip the papers beneath her hands, gasping for air.
"I'm gonna have fun playing this game" Asher jokes as the three walk away from her and into the darkness, leaving her kneeling on the ground and surrounded by paper.
She remembers her father finding her in the hallway, still gathering the papers after finally calming down. She remembers lying about stumbling in the darkness and accidentally dropping the papers. Thankfully, her father was too busy scolding her to notice her still-teary eyes.
"Riley, let's go and play! Forget school; let's go somewhere fun…somewhere we can have our alone time" Asher said as he lifted his hand to brush away a lock of hair from her face. Riley winces at the touch and tries to stand up but Donny keeps her in his arms. She felt his nails push roughly on her forearms and lets out a sob as blood starts to run down her arms.
"Knock it off, guys. Umm we can play later? I'm going to be late f-for school" she said as she pulls her arms away from Donny. Riley looked down at her new wounds and rubbed her arm with her hands in an attempt to wipe away the blood.
"What do you say, boys? Shall we let dear little Riley go to school?" Olly snickers. Riley prayed that they would let her go.
"Fineeeee. She can go, but we'll meet during lunch" Donny agreed, almost begrudgingly, yet the last part of his statement was clearly meant as a threat. Riley felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand from the evident warning.
"You better run, little freshie. You'll be late for school" Olly grinned as he handed Riley her fallen bag. Riley quickly turned around and ran away from the three boys.
"SEE YOU AT LUNCH", was all she heard as she entered the train cart.
Riley looked around at the other passengers, and noticed how they were staring at her, or more specifically, staring at her arms. She glanced down at her arms and winced as she saw the obvious nail marks left by Donny. For such a small wound, she was surprised to see a lot of blood dripping from her. She groaned and thought of how to cover up her wounds to hide them from sight.
Farkle's old jacket!
She was supposed to give it back to him since he had left it at Topanga's after their study session. She dug through her stuff in her bag, and sighed in relief when she felt the material in her hands.
Quickly, she pulled out the piece of clothing from her bag and wore it. She closed her eyes to avoid the stares coming from other people.
Terror ran through her body as she thought about how she was supposed to meet her tormentors later in the afternoon. She knew that if she went to them, they'd do terrible things to her. Yet if she didn't go, they'd ruin her and her friends reputations by labelling her a slut.
She couldn't do anything. She was lost. She was helpless.
Don't you just hate Olly, Asher, and Donny? Just a warning, they're gonna be back sooner than you think. Hopefully, you guys liked this chapter. It was a bit hard for me to write because I absolutely adore Riley, so I really didn't like writing her being helpless. Anyways, please favorite and review if you guys like the story so far! PS Don't worry, it gets REALLY REALLY GOOD in the next chapter, I kind of pick up the pace. So get ready for that! Hope you guys enjoyed!
