Chapter 4:

Friday May 14th, 5:00 am

Elizabeth's eyes were blood-shot from crying all night, she had laid in the fetal position all night, she heard her parents return from where ever they had been just minutes after the brutal attack, but she was to ashamed and hurt to look into the eyes of her parents. They'd be devastated she thought to herself, she tried to make herself believe that the police wouldn't find the monster who'd raped her, and if she went everyone would find out. I'm the only child in the family, imagine how they'd feel if they knew she thought. Pressing the heels of her hands into her eyes until she saw nothing but sparkles, Elizabeth knew that this was no nightmare she'd wake up from. This was reality, and she'd have to live with this for the rest of her life, every time she'd fall asleep she would feel the pain she felt, everytime she saw a man she would have to be suspicious my life has changed forever she thought.

Elizabeth felt dirty and unclean, her pain had seemed to ease but the mental damage would be with her forever, she was starving, her stomach was yearning for food. But the thought of food disgusted and sickened her. Why?, why me? she kept thinking to herself, saying it out loud as she stepped into the shower. "Why'd it happen to me? why was I the one?" she asked herself as she scrubbed her body clean with boiling hot water, but still the feeling of dirtiness wouldn't leave her.

11:00 am

Tiffany woke up with a huge yawn, she'd had a peaceful nights sleep the thought of her angry parents didn't bother her. She loved them but they loved her to much to punish her I'm their baby she thought to herself but she also couldn't help but feel guilty. She'd abused her parents trust, she'd disobeyed them, their little girl had been bad they won't be the same, they won't trust me anymore...I just wanted to go out, I didn't mean nothing by it thought Tiffany. Jumping in the shower, she carefully washed herself I think I should apologise, they deserve it they're good parents and I love them thought Tiffany, she couldn't help but feel guilty.

Finding her parents, Tiffany grew embarressed, her face went a cherry red as she found her way towards her parents. Both parents stared at their daughter sternly "mum, dad" Tiffany began "Yesterday, I felt a lot of things yesterday. Anger. Frustration. Embarressmant but the worst feeling I've felt has been regret. I regret that I was sneaky, that I made both of you upset and I ruined the trust we shared" with a tiny tear slowly dropping down her cheek she sniffled and her teary eyes looked up at her parents.

Kenneth and Bella got up onto the feet then wrapped their arms around Tiffany "just don't do it again" Kenneth advised. With a glistening smile, Tiffany said "I love you" before she left her parents and rushed to her bedroom. Bella placed herself on Kenneth's lap then pecked him on the cheek, before she laid her head on his broad shoulders and giggled "we'll laugh about this one day...when were old together, and we've got grandchildren running around the house".

Kenneth blew his wife a kiss as she strutted out the room, he adored her, he was just dissapointed that he had to spend so much time trapped in this office. Now I know how Tiffany feels he thought regarding himself being locked away in this office most of the time, forced to do work to make sure the family business succeeds I just want to spend more time with my family he thought. Kenneth missed the days when Nicole and Tiffany were younger, and him and his wife would take the two wild girls out on their own little adventures. When he thought about those days he smiled, but then would shed a tear, sad that them days were now just faint memories.

Relaxing on the bed, Tiffany heard the phone ringing and stretched over, grabbed it then answered sweetly "Hi, Tiffany speaking"

"Alright Tiff, have you spoken with Elizabeth by any chance?" Draco asked, Tiffany paused for a minute or two before she decided hell am in the forgiving mood. "Sorry Draco, I haven't you know. Is everything okay?"she asked kindly

"Look Tiff am really worried about her, last night she just went mad. She was upset, didn't want to have a laugh, we even had to leave the party early" Draco asked, Tiffany noticed his voice was filled with worry and sadness, she was unsure what to say. "What?... Am confused Draco, do you want to go over to Elizabeth's and check on her" Tiffany offered

"Yeah, I'll be down to pick you up soon" replied Draco. Putting the phone down, Tiffany strolled to her mirror and gazed at her reflection why aren't I pretty she asked herself, she considered her sister one of her best friends, even though they had their arguements but still she envied her sister. Nicole was pretty and popular, Tiffany couldn't help but get jealous sometimes, even though she wasn't the jealous type.

Throwing on a pair of jeans and an old sweater, Tiffany stuck her hair up into an unflattering bun then asked her father "can I go to Elizabeth's it's just to see if she's okay". Kenneth stared long and hard at his daughter as he thought she needs a bit of freedom, or next time she might not return home then answered "okay, just don't be out to long". Tiffany rushed to her father and hugged him thankfully. Washing the dishes in the living room, Bella sneered coldly when she noticed Draco park outside her manor in his old banger of a car, "what's he doing here, in that...car"she questioned

"where running over to Elizabeth's. You know to see if she's okay" responded Tiffany as she grabbed her coat and ran out. I hope the neighbours don't see her in that thought Bella as she turned around and walked into the living room.

1:00 pm

Cruising through the streets of New Jersey in Draco's car, Draco and Tiffany discussed what they were going to ask Elizabeth and how they were going to approach the situation "we don't even know what's up with her" acknowledged Draco as he carefully steered the car

"I know, we just need to stay calm and be what we are, we have to be friends" advised Tiffany before she pointed out "isn't that Ryan over there". "Ryan" Draco called out, instantly grabbing Ryan's attention with his booming voice. Parking beside Ryan he said gratefully "thanks for inviting us to the party we had a great time". Ryan popped his head through the window and noticed Tiffany "No problem Draco, but anyway I heard you had a good time Tiff, you sure rubbed off well on an old friend of mine" smiled Ryan. Tiffany giggled nervously when she remembered Charles then she thought why would he like me. "Hey I've got to go, but come down anytime. Your welcome to any of my parties" Ryan explained then as he strolled of he looked back and shouted "say hello to Elizabeth".

Elizabeth sat staring at the ceiling in her bedroom, her parents had popped their heads in to check on her but she simply pretended to be asleep. She was afraid that they would see the sorrow in her eyes, but still it felt as if some massive weight had been placed on her shoulders, she was desperate to tell. She believed though that no one would believe her.

Grabbing her dressing gown, she threw it on before finally leaving her bedroom and grabbed an old, dust-covered teddy for comfort. Clutching the teddy bear tightly, she slowly stepped down the stairs, she heard a knock at the door, once again it started the worry and the paranoia. Running back upstairs, she dived into bed and threw the bed quilt over her, hiding under it like a child afraid of the dark.

Tiffany and Draco stood outside Elizabeth's house, waiting patiently for someone to answer they talked repeatedly about Elizabeth and their worries. Finally Elizabeth's mother answered the door then politely guided them up to Elizabeth's room. "She was asleep last time I checked up on her, so I wish you two luck" laughed Elizabeth's mother before she returned downstairs. Tiffany and Draco pushed the door open, allowing it to open before actually going inside then peeked through. Elizabeth had her face shoved into the pillow, she didn't bother to look up she just lied motionless. "Liz, honey...I'm sorry about last night I was a bitch" apologized Tiffany as she rubbed Elizabeth's back.

"Should I tell them" Elizabeth asked herself not realising she was saying it out loud. Tiffany and Draco glanced at eachother, both were confused and puzzled unaware of the attack. Elizabeth turned slowly, her eyes were glistening with tears then asked them politely "don't say nothing please" then she began "I was raped, he attacked me...I was so afraid, I was all by myself... God I was so scared". Tiffany looked at her best friend oh my god, I was so mean to her last night. If I'd of just sucked it up and not been a bitch none of this would have happened she thought before she grabbed tight hold of Elizabeth and hugged her "it'll be okay, we'll sort this out for you" Draco said reassuringly from behind Tiffany.

"Who was it?" asked Draco protectively

"I don't know, I couldn't see his face" murmured Elizabeth

"Who could it have been, tell me...Who could of done this to you" fiercely questioned Draco

"I don't know" cried Elizabeth

"How did they get out"

"The window"

"How tall were they" asked Draco

"I don't know" yelled Elizabeth as she clutched her pillow

"Draco, leave her alone. You know she's distressed, just leave the questions for now" interrupted Tiffany

"I just want to find the monster who did this" moaned Draco

"I know, and we'll have time to do that. We all will not rest until the beast is locked up" explained Tiffany calmly soothing the situation. Turning around, Draco charged towards the door before he froze when Elizabeth muttered "Ryan... I think Ryan done this".

4:00 pm

After a couple of hours at Elizabeth's Tiffany explained to her parents the circumstances and shockingly they were understandable and worried about Elizabeth's well-being. Draco had left the house around 2:00pm furious, Elizabeth had forced him to promise he wouldn't do anything drastic.

How could he do this? Why? he's a friend? thought Draco as he swerved between cars and into different lanes, desperate to get to Ryan's house. Draco at first tried to persuade himself it couldn't have been Ryan since Elizabeth hadn't seen the intruders face. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't but for now Draco believed it was. Draco was a volcano of anger waiting to erupt. Jumping out the car, Draco bounced up towards the front door of Ryan's house and found it unlocked. When he burst into the living room, he Corrina Stone sitting on the coach watching television. "What's up, hun, are you okay?" she asked with concern only to be ignored by Draco who continued to search the house.

"Where is he, tell me" ordered Draco as he stood before her eyes

"I don't know, am just house sitting" whimpered Corrina

"Tell him, I want to see him. As soon as possible" yelled Draco before he left the house.

Corrina watched through the window as Draco sped off, he seemed angry Corrina thought to herself with a smirk before she grabbed the phone beside her and dialed her boyfriends number.

"Hey baby" he answered

"Charles. Honey, tell Ryan someones looking for him"

"Who is it?" asked Charles

"It's Draco, he seemed pretty mad" laughed Corrina

"Well, I'll pass on the message" explained Charles

"Okay babe, talk to you la..." before she had finished he had slammed down the phone.

Chapter 4 finished.
