I wake up by being shaken awake. I open my eyes and zeke is smiling at me. "hey" he says. "class just ended" I bolt up and freak out. "why didn't
you wake me? I missed the whole class!" zeke just laughs. "it was first day so he just let us hang out." I sigh with relief. I grab my bag and before
heading to my last class I go to the cafeteria to get another coffee. just as i'm leaving I bump into peter. he pins me against the wall and kisses me
as he does he starts to grope my chest. I try to push him off of me but i'm to sore and he's too strong. he starts to kiss down my neck and as he
does his hand moves down and around to my butt and he starts groping it. I start yelling for help. he slaps me and tells me to shut up before going
back to what he was doing. I don't do anything for a minute before he starts moving his hand around to my inner thigh he slowly moves it upwards.
and then I lose it. I scream as loud as I can. I scream until peter punches me in the face. I start crying and he kisses me again. his hand still
moving upwards. I feel his hand graze my 'area' and scream again. this time even louder. louder than I thought I could. I stop when my throat
hurts too much and burst into tears. just then I see Uriah, zeke, and four come bursting through the doors on the other side of the cafeteria and I
scream for help even though the pain in my throat is agonizing. they all run over to me and zeke and Uriah pull peter off of me and start beating
him up as I fall into fours arms. I wrap my arms around his neck and cry into his shoulder. he wraps his arm around me. and whispers "shhh. shhh.
six your ok now." I slowly let go and wipe my face with my hands. I think i'm shaking. zeke and Uriah had stopped once peter was out cold. all three
of them have looks of fury and hatred in their eyes. zeke comes over and hugs me, I hug him back. " are you ok?" he asks. all I doo is nod. my
throat hurts too much to talk. zeke lets go and uri hugs me. there is still about 30 minutes left of class. I can't help but cry when I think that I was
standing there like that with that creep for half and hour. as I burst into tears uris envelopes me in his arms. once I calm down they pull me into the
hallway and they all sit with me as I explain what happened. "thankyou for saving me." I croak. they all nod. I can tell that they are furious. "how
long were you there." four asks with his arm around me. I start crying again but this time it's silent tears. "half an hour." I say in almost in a
whisper. "oh god." I hear zeke gasp as he pulls me to his chest. uri and four join and they all just hug me for a while. there is only about 10 minutes
of class left so I sit in fours lap in the hallway with his arms around me while I hold zeke and uriahs hands. I fall asleep like that and when the bell
goes they wake me up and walk me to my locker, zeke on one side and uri on the other each with a hand on my back and four in the front. once I
get my stuff they walk with me like that to my bike. "I. I don't think I can go home." I say almost in tears again. in the midst of all this I also told
them about my brother. zeke nods. " you can stay at my place." he says kindly. I give him a small smile and excuse my self when I see caleb. they
watch me the whole time. I tap his shoulder. he turns around and is smiling until he sees it's me. "oh. what do you want?" he asks. "oh. um. um. I
was just gonna let you know that i'm going to stay at my friend Christina's house tonight. ok? I just didn't want you to worry." he smiles and then
says. "thanks bea." I turn around to leave but he grabs my arm way too hard and yanks me back. "who are the guys staring at you? I don't want
you sleeping around like a whore. even if you are one it doesn't mean you get to act like it." "their, their just friends caleb." his grip on my arm
tightens until I almost fall to the ground. I am almost on my knees but he pulls me back up by my arm his grip never faltering. "i don't believe you."
he says through gritted teeth. his grip tightens more to the point where the only reason i'm not on the ground is because he's holding me up.
"caleb." I say weekly. "i promise" I state as I stare him in the eyes. he lets go and storms off. as soon as he does I fall to the ground and burst into
tears. the guys come rushing over and my arm is already a deep purple. they lift me up and envelope me in a group hug. they walk me back over to
the school and we sit on a picnic bench outside. four is beside me rubbing my back and zeke and uri are across from me. I explain what happened
and burst into tears again and uri comes over and hugs me.

me and mar are walking through the parking lot when I look over and see six with zeke uri and four. suddenly uri goes to sit beside six and hugs
her. apparently mar saw too because her hands make fists and she starts to walk over before I grab her and pull her back. "what Christina?!"
mar says rudely. "mar I think she's crying." I respond. we both look over and realize i'm right. we run over and sit with zeke across from six, four
and uri. "what happened?" I asked concerned. mar reaches across and takes six's hand. "that jerk peter" zeke replies for her. I can tell he's furious.
"if he attacked you then why didn't you just beat the crap out of him again?" mar asks. uri looks up sadly. "he didn't attack her like that mar." he
almost whispers. six is still crying into his shirt. "oh my god." I whisper as I put my hands up to my mouth. by now lynn, jess, will, and shauna and
some guy I've never seen before have shown up. "chris. what happened?" lynn asks genuinely worried which is strange for her. I whisper it to her
and will and they tell shauna and jess. they all have similar reactions like I did. "what happened?" asked the guy who was with shauna. "nothing
babe I think you should go though." shauna says as she kisses him. " oh really now? she's with someone else now." I look at zeke and I can tell she
hurt him. I turn and hug him and when I pull away he gives me a small smile. six has calmed down and she and uri stopped hugging and four
whispered something in her ear that made her laugh. she let go of mar's hand and she stood up. everybody follows suite. "thanks guys. i'm better
now." six says with a smile. she hugs everyone and goes to her bike. she puts her helmet on and sits there like she's waiting for someone. zeke and
Uriah say goodbye and and walk over and tell her something I can't make out. she nods and zeke and uri get in their jeep and six follows them out
of the school parking lot. "hey. where are they going?" mar asks. "she's staying at their place tonight. she doesn't want to go home and deal with
her brother." four says. we all nod and disperse. me and mar decide to go to the mall.

I follow zeke to their house and we go inside. he shows me to a guest room and then he gets me a beer and all three of us sit in the living room and
watch a movie. when it gets dark and were all ready to go to bed we say goodnight to eachother and I go to my room. I realize I don't have any
pajamas so I knock on zeke's door. he answers it in pajama pants and no shirt. he smiles. "hey. do you have a shirt I could sleep in?" I ask quietly.
"yeah. sure." he says as he goes to find me one. when he comes back I say thankyou and we hug and I go to get changed. after i'm changed I fall
asleep. I wake up in tears from my nightmares about what happened. I knock on zekes door and he opens it. he notices I was crying so he just
hugs me and we cuddle on his bed. I fall asleep with his arms around me and my head on his chest. I finally feel safe. that's a feeling I haven't felt
in years.
