A warning for this chapter, it gets pretty intense...
so...here it goes~
The next morning, Barbie awoke in Randy's arms. She smiled as she watched him. He was still deep asleep. She traced over his features with her fingers and nuzzled him a bit. She could seriously get used to waking up next to him like this. She craned her neck to look at the clock. It was almost nine o' clock. She was surprised when Jake hadn't bounded in yet, but she was not complaining. She would rather not have to explain what she and Randy were doing naked together in her bed.
She wiggled herself away from Randy and she realized she woke him up. She wrapped a robe around herself and chuckled when she saw him blindly feeling around for her in the bed. He opened his eyes and looked around. When he saw her, he beckoned for her to come over to him. When she did, he just pulled her back in the bed, making her laugh.
"Randy~! Come on…Jake is gonna wake up any minute."
"Exactly…and when that minute happens, then I'll get up."
"Randy~! Come on now…we both have to get dressed and then you have to take Jake over to Maria's place." she reminded. He sighed.
"Fine…" he said, resigned.
Barbie went into Jake's room and he was just getting out of bed. She taught him well because he made his bed right away. She chuckled watching him. Jake really was the most important person in her life and when he told her he really liked him, that was the biggest turning point. If Jake really hadn't approved of Randy, she would just go back to the way things were.
Jake noticed her and smiled as he walked over to hug her. She hugged him tightly as she walked with him out to the kitchen area to get his cereal ready. Despite the fact that he was now four years old, she still picked him up every now and then and today was one of those days. She piggybacked him to the table and his smile grew when he saw Randy at the table.
"Randy~! You're here~!" he said as Barbie set him down.
"Yeah. I spent the night." he said simply. It wasn't a lie but he didn't mention where he slept.
"Oh…cool."
"Yeah…"
"Are you taking me to Auntie Maria's?" he asked as Barbie set his bowl of cereal in front of him. Randy nodded.
"Yes I am."
"Yay~!" he said as he started eating. Randy was just sipping his cup of coffee. He was feeling very uneasy about today.
"Sweety, as soon as you get done, I want you to hurry and get ready. Auntie Maria's waiting to spend the day with you." she said smiling slightly.
"Ooooohhh okay~!" Jake said excitedly. He liked Maria best out of all the girls because she always had a lot of fun stuff to do for them, and she was just a lot of fun to play with.
Once breakfast was over, Barbie started doing the small amount of dishes while Jake got ready. Randy went to the kitchen area and leaned against the counter with his arms crossed. He really wasn't comfortable with her being alone with her soon to be ex-boyfriend. He saw the results of what he did to Barbie, and now that Jake would be out of the way and she would be alone, he didn't even want to think about what Mike could do to her.
"Are you sure you don't want to wait until I get back to call him?" he almost pleaded.
"I'm positive. Randy, I told you I'm fine." she insisted, not really looking at him.
"What's the matter? Are you alright?" he asked, moving and wrapping his arms around her.
"I just…I'm used to what he does to me. Now that I'm breaking up with him it really doesn't matter. But…you don't know what he could do. I don't want anything to happen to you because of me. So please…just do this?" she pleaded back. He couldn't help but give in at this point.
"Okay…I'll, uh, make sure Jake is getting ready." he said, going over to Jake's room.
Barbie got out her phone and called Mike. Luckily he picked up and she told him they needed to talk and he agreed to come over in a few minutes. When Jake and Randy came back, Jake had his backpack of toys and he was ready to go. Barbie crouched to his level and made sure he had his jacket on and everything and smiled as she hugged him.
"Now you be good for Auntie Maria, okay?" she reminded.
"I will." Jake answered.
"I'll be back soon." Randy reassured. Barbie nodded.
"Okay. I'll see you soon." she said as Randy pecked her cheek and she saw them off.
Barbie took the meantime to get ready. She wore a plain pink t-shirt and a pair of white jeans. She wore very minimal make up and kept her hair down. She felt like time was almost at a stand still until she heard a fateful knock at her door. She opened the door and it was indeed Mike. She smiled softly at him and he returned it. So he was sober at least.
"Hey Mike." she said as he walked in stood in the living room area.
"Look, Barbie, sorry for not being around lately. I've been really busy lately."
"It's okay…"
"How, uh, how are you?" he asked, shifting a bit uncomfortably.
"I'm good. You?"
"Can't complain too much. What did you need to talk about? And where was your car? I didn't see it down there." he said, sitting on the couch.
"Umm…I wanted to talk about us."
"Okay…now where's your car? Mind telling me that, first?" he asked sitting back.
"Someone's using it to take Jake to my friend's place right now." she said simply.
"Oh…okay…what about us then?"
"Mike, I don't think it's gonna work out between us anymore." she said cutting to the chase.
"Wait…you called me down here to break up with me?" he said, obviously getting annoyed.
"Yeah…look, I'm sorry, but…"
"But what? Why do you want to break up with me?"
"…I met someone else." she admitted.
"What?" he asked, the anger starting to rise.
"I met someone else…someone who doesn't get drunk and hit me." she said, building up some courage.
"So you've been stepping out on me?" he said, getting up and moving towards her. She kept moving away from him.
"No, I haven't."
"I bet you have. Otherwise why would you be trying to break up with me, if you haven't already done something with this guy?" he said smirking.
"Look, the point is, I'm breaking up with you and I've met someone who's treating me right, treating me how a woman should be treated."
"Treating you right? So he's treating you how a whore should be treated?" he snapped.
"Dammit! I am not a whore!" she said, getting angry. He was sober…his true colors were starting to show.
"Oh right…you're just a girl who takes off her clothes for money. You're a twenty-two year old with a four year old kid with no daddy in sight. You're the epitome of white trash." he spat.
"I told you! Jake's father died! I want you out! Get out!" she cried, feeling tears start to well up.
"I'm not going anywhere yet…shouldn't I get a parting gift?"
"What?" she asked, genuinely confused.
"We haven't had sex in quite a long while, Barbie Doll." he said in a dangerously calm tone. Barbie's eyes widened.
"Mike…stop. Please…just go." she said, calming down herself.
"I don't think so…come on, Barbie." he said, moving towards her slowly, like a tiger stalking its prey. Barbie kept backing up but she realized she was essentially trapped.
Randy had just left from Maria's apartment and checked his watch. He prayed that it went smoothly like Barbie predicted and she would just be alone when he got back. He didn't want to go to the worst case scenario, but he couldn't help but worry that Barbie was getting beaten again, or worse. He merely concentrated on getting back to her at this point.
Barbie, meanwhile, had been doing pretty well in keeping away from Mike, but that couldn't last. He soon got a good grip of her long hair and yanked her towards him, where he roughly kissed her hard on the mouth. She tried with all her might to push him away but he kept pulling her towards him. Once he seemed satisfied, he pushed her roughly on the couch. She didn't start getting really scared until she saw him lick his lips.
Every attempt she made to get up and get away was thwarted by Mike as he tried to take off her clothing. Because of her struggling, her shirt ended up ripping almost all the way off. Barbie started to scream. She hoped maybe a neighbor or someone would hear her and save her. She felt Mike's hands roaming over roughly and she started to cry. Her worst fear was coming true. She was getting raped. She felt Mike's hands then undo her pants and he shoved his hands under her pants where he touched her lower regions roughly, making her cry out even more as he started to rub and finger her.
"Someone help me! Please stop!" she cried, pleading with him as she pushed against him.
"Just shut up and take it!" Mike spat.
"Hey! Get your fucking filthy hands off her!" roared an angry voice. They looked up and Barbie could see Randy in the doorway through the tears in her eyes.
Randy immediately ran towards them pulled Mike off Barbie, who rolled off the couch and moved away. Randy was seeing red at that point. He kept punching Mike in the face and once he was on the ground, Randy proceeded to kick him in the ribs and the stomach. A few cracks could be heard and anyone would be able to tell that those were ribs being broken. Randy then moved on top of Mike and started to choke him.
"Stop…Randy, stop! You're killing him!" Barbie cried.
"That's the idea!" he roared again.
"Please…let's just call the cops! I don't want you to go to prison for killing someone!" she cried again. Only then did Randy loosen his grip and Mike's body fell limp on the floor.
Randy went to Barbie and held her close, where she cried into his muscular chest. If he hadn't gotten there in time, she didn't even want to think about what could have happened. Randy just held her and stroked her hair. He mentally cursed himself for not getting there sooner but the important part was, he got there and was able to stop the worst of it.
"I was so scared!" she cried.
"Ssshh…it's okay…I'm here now. He won't hurt you anymore." he said soothingly. Randy would make sure of that.
So....how was that?
Please keep on reading and reviewing~~~~
