Tori's P.O.V.
Jade got up and started pacing her room, she had a look of pure anger on her face. "I'm going to murder that dirty rat bastard!" She screamed, causing me to flinch. "Sorry, Tori, I didn't mean to scare you." She came over and sat next to me. "We need to tell someone about what is going on, my dad is friends with some really good lawyers." She takes my hand but lets in go when I tense at her touch. "He can't get away with this!"
"He can and he will." I whisper, looking at her for the first time. "Most rapists walk because there is not enough prof that the accused did it, and to top it off there are some people that blame the victim of 'asking for it' or they were drinking. so, there really is no point in trying to go to anyone with this because he is a cop, one of the 'good guys'". I got up off the bed and started looking at the pictures on Jade's wall. "I have thought about a way to make it stop, I'd be lying if I said I haven't," I still haven't looked at her. "I was going to take my own life, for more than just this reason, but you stopped me."
"You can't kill yourself!" Jade put her hand on my shoulder, turning me around. "He will win if you do that, we can't let him win. And," She looked away. "I don't want to lose you. Maybe I'm just being selfish." I gave her a weak smile when she looked back to me. "You need to sleep, we do have school tomorrow, don't worry, I'll sleep down stairs on the couch."
"YOu will do no such thing!" I said. "If anyone is sleeping on the couch it will be me, but, I'll feel safer if you were here with me." I walked to the bed and laid down.
"I'll be to bed shortly." Jade said walking out the room, shutting the door behind her.
Jade's .
I walked down the hall to the workout room, it was sound proofed, the only way you could tell if it was being used is the door, if it is in uses the door is closed. I closed the door, plugged my phone into the speakers, playing some Otep, starting with "Fist Fall".
I took of my shit and taped up my hands, I can't take on a punching bag with a shirt getting in my way. I couldn't help but think of David Vega being my punching bag. I don't know how long I had been in here, but I was covered in sweat and I was out of breath.
I grabbed my shirt and phone as I walked out of the room. I quietly entered my room, Tori was already asleep, I grabbed some pj's. grabbing a quick shower.
I claimed in bed next Tori, wrapping her in my arms. my last thought, before drifting into a deep sleep, was that I would to everything in my power to keep this woman safe.
I was woken a few hours later to a loud banging on the front door.
A/N: Well, I had to post this, I mean come on. I just made it to a year sober the other day and now it is my birthday...so in reality posting this if just a birthday present to myself. What Tori says about rapists getting to walk, that happened to me, and seeing as her dad is a cop, a bad one, she would know this to be true.
