WARNING- THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS RAPE
Kaitlin pulled her knees to her chest and wrapped her arms around them.
"I guess it started two years ago where a lot of things combined to make me sad all the time- I can't remember the last time I was happy- and I just can't- you know what this is insane, I don't even know you and you don't know me and I'm perfectly fine I can deal with this, I don't want to bother you anymore, I'm going now. Thank you, bye" she said,and stood up to leave. Dan grabbed her wrist, and she flinched and let out a tiny yelp of pain. Dan ignored it, for now, and said:
"Okay Kaitlin, you just tried to jump off a bridge. You were going to kill yourself. You obviously have some problems that you can't deal with, and feelings that you have no control of. Please let me help you. I know what it feels like... trust me on that."
Kaitlin looked at him and bit her lip. Finally, after staring at him for some time, she sat back down and pulled her legs up again.
"Can you describe what set this off, if anything, and how you feel?" Dan asked her gently.
She nodded slowly, and cleared her throat.
"My parents kicked me out of the house when they found some of the...er, evidence, I guess, of how I am feeling, and said I was physcopathic. They told me to get out, and so I did. This was three days ago. I have no where else to go, so I've been wandering London. I only had twenty dollars, too and it's all gone now."
Dan's facial expression was livid.
"How old are you? he asked in a angry whisper.
"18, 19 next month." She mumbled.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR PARENTS?! YOU CAN'T KICK YOUR SUICIDAL TEENAGE DAUGHTER OUT OF THE HOUSE. I'M PRETTY SURE THATS FUCKING ILLEGAL."
Kaitlin just sighed and ran her hands through her hair.
"As for somewhere to live, you can come live with Phil and I. Phil, he's my best friend and roommate, we rent an apartment together. He's a great guy, really funny and really friendly and nice. You'll like him. We have a guest room that no one has stayed in in forever, so we'll need to wash the sheets and get some pillows and blankets and such but it'll work."
"Oh god, I couldn't possibly ask you to-" Dan cut her off:
"You didn't ask me, I offered, and I'm going to make you take that offer until I can make sure you're safe and have a place to sleep and eat." Dan said, shooting her a cheeky grin.
"Oh lord, thank you so much I can't even express how much this means to me, you really don't have to-" Dan cut her off again, laughing this time.
"Kaitlin, don't thank me it's no problem at all, this is something I want to do. We need to go get Phil, then we'll go back home, okay?" he asked, standing up and offering his hand to help her up. She got to her feet and Dan started walking. She followed his direction. They walked in comfortable silence, except for the small talk here and there. Eventually, they arrived at a small Irish pub and Dan glanced at her.
"Do you wanna come on with me, or let me explain to Phil what's happening while you wait out here, then we'll form get you, or...?"
"I'll wait, thanks." She said, shoving her hands in dans coat pocket. He nodded,, said
"Stay right there, ok? I'll be back with Phil really soon." and headed inside.
Kaitlin stood there for a few minutes, facing the brick wall and began counting the bricks out of sheer boredom, her back faced to the streets. Suddenly, she felt a pair of fat arms circle her waist and hoist her upwards, clamping a hand over her mouth tightly so she couldn't scream or make any noise at all. She kicked and fought and tried to scream as hard as physically possible but to no avail. She began panicking and crying, trying to scream Dan's name. The highly overweight, bald man who had grabbed her took hold of her head and cracked it against the brick wall of the ally he had brought you to and whispered venomously
" You'll shut your goddamn mouth if you know what's good for you...my little slut" and his hand began traveling up her thighs. She was crying hysterically by now, knowing that there was no way she could fight him off and that he would just have his way with her.
He suddenly ripped off her hoodie, tearing it, and threw it to the ground. Next, he grabbed her tank top and tore that off as well, so she was just in her bra and jeans. He forcibly removed the rest of her clothing, and shoved her to the ground hard, he head smacking the floor yet again, and seconds later flopped his body on hers. He shoved his penis in her mouth and forced her to do as he said for a little while, then pulled out and shoved him self into her, ripping away her virginity in seconds. It hurt like hell for Kaitlin and she yelled out and started crying again
" Please stop, please don't do this I'll do anything you want please just stop. Please no." Kaitlin got out in between sobs and cries of pain.
"I said to shut up" he growled and slapped her hard.
She fell silent and lay there quietly crying as he used her.
He finished, and flipped her over.
" I hope you like anal, baby." He whispered in he ear and began to slowly enter her butt.
Just then, they heard Dan's and another man's voice calling out:
"Kaitlin, where you? Pleas still be around. Kaitlin!" They shouted, repeating her name over and over again.
"DAN PLEASE HELP I'M IN THE ALLY!" Kaitlin shrieked at the top of her lungs. Her rapist cursed at her, and pulled her hair to have her stand up, and smacked her body against the wall, about to do God knows what to her. Just then, Dan and another man ran into the ally, and saw her and her attacker. Dan raced over to the man and yelled
"GET THE FUCK OFF HER, NOW." before punching him as hard as he could square in the jaw. The man swore, and took off running, and Phil chased after him.
Dan looked at the mess of a girl, and got down on his knees in front of her. He picked up her clothes, but saw they they were torn and shredded and actually not able to even stay on a body anymore. He looked back up at her, and saw she was leaning against the wall, her eyes squeezed tightly shut, tears slipping out of them. He pulled off his shirt, as he had a wifebeater on under it and helped her step into it. He was much taller then her, so the shirt went down to her mid thighs. She was still crying and flinching away every time his hand brushed her body and he helped her dress.
"I'm not going to hurt you Kaitlin. I promise. It's me, Dan. I'm your friend. I will never hurt you, ever. He will never touch you again, I promise. I'll make sure of it." He said in a comforting tone, and only then did Kaitlin relax a little bit. He helped her into his peacoat and buttoned it up. He handed her her underwear, somehow they had gone un ripped, and she dragged it up her legs.
"Can you walk?" Dan asked uncertainly, and Kaitlin tried to step forward. She let out a gasp and fell back against the wall, and shook her head.
"It hurts." she said in a tiny voice,and Dan nodded. He wrapped his arms around her middle, and she cringed.
"I will never hurt you, remember? Dan asked, and she gave a tiny nod. From there , he hitched her legs up around his waist and told her to out her arms around his neck. She did, and he smiled at her, and whispered:
"Just like koalas, right?" Into her ear. For some reason those words gave her comfort and she visibly relaxed and nodded. They began moving toward where the rapist and Phil had ran, when she let out a soft cry into his shoulder, and started crying again, so traumatized by what had just happened to her. Dan rubbed her back and said
"It's okay now Kaitlin, he will never ever touch you again. I'm here. You didn't ask for this, it's not your fault." Dan continued rubbing her back soothingly. Just then, Phil came running back towards them, out of breath.
"He got away, I couldn't catch up to him, I lost him. I'm so sorry." Phil gasped out, his hands on his knees.
"It's okay Phil, you tried. Do you want to go to the police station, Kaitlin?" Dan asked.
"I don't think I can handle that right now." Kaitlin said in a broken voice. Dan nodded, and told Phil they were going to the apartment now. Still crying, Kaitlin grasped tightly on to Dan as they began walking towards their home.
