Next chapter! Sorry, it took a little longer then expected! I blame finals, but enjoy! :)
The Call
Tai walked in the door to find his mother and sister waiting for him on the couch. They both looked at the door when they heard it open and stood, rushing over to him.
"Tai, I was so worried!" His mother hugged him close to her only noticing the cast after a few minutes. She pushed Tai a little away from her and looked at his hand. "What is that?" Tai smiled and gave a nervous laugh.
"I broke my hand in practice today." Tai's mother's face only showed more worry as she led him over to the couch and made him sit.
"What happened?"
"We were just really getting into it today and somehow my hand ended up getting broke." Tai shrugged off the hand his mother had placed on his shoulder and stood. "I'm going to take a shower and get to bed." He turned and started to his room.
"Ok, don't forget to wrap the cast honey." His mother called after him, she was still trying to figure out how he could have broken his hand in practice, but she soon gave up.
"I'll remember." Tai felt a tug at his elbow and turned to see his sister. "What is it Kari?"
"Matt called; he wants you to call back." Tai flinched when Matt's name was mentioned but he nodded.
"Thanks." Tai forced a smile and walked into his room shutting the door firmly behind him before sinking to the floor and dissolving into tears.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Matt lay in his bed with his phone clutched in his hand. He hasn't called back yet, he thought. He couldn't figure out why he hadn't called back yet, just call him again. Matt sighed and flipped his phone open pressing the button Tai's phone was assigned to, and listened to the annoying ring sound.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Tai lifted his head when he heard the ringtone assigned for whenever Matt called. He stood and wiped at his face as he walked over to his bed and picked up his phone. Tai took a deep breath and flipped his phone open.
"Hello?" Tai waited for Matt to answer, suddenly wishing he never picked up the phone.
"Tai, you're home! How are you?" Tai sat on the bed and sighed.
"Is that the only reason you called, to ask how I am?"
"No, no that's not the only reason…are you mad?"
"Let's just say after what I saw and read today, I'm not that happy."
"They gave you the magazine, didn't they?"
"Were they not supposed to? Were you going to hide it from me forever?" Tai narrowed his eyes he could feel the rage rising through him.
"No, Tai I didn't even know anything about the magazine or what was in it…" Tai shook his head and swallowed back the tears that threatened to come.
"Of course not, why would you want anyone else to know that you have a girlfriend, especially the man that loves you!" Tai could here Matt sigh on the other end of the phone and waited for him to reply.
"That isn't it at all. I was forced to pretend she was my girlfriend by our manager who turned out to be her father. I never did anything with her, I love you."
"Yeah right, the pictures and her interview say otherwise."
"I didn't even know about that, her father set it all up!"
"How am I supposed to believe you?"
"Tai, I would never cheat on you. It took me all this time to finally get you; I would never do anything to jeopardize what we have." Tai could no longer hold back the tears, Matt sounded so sincere and if he was telling the truth Tai had ruined everything. He had been with Osa willingly, Matt would never forgive him.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Matt could hear Tai on the other end gasping and crying, and he had no idea what to do. He wanted to hold him in his arms; he wanted to make sweet love to him to reassure him that everything would be alright.
"Tai, it's alright. Why are you crying?"
"I…I doubted you…I…" Matt smiled.
"It's alright, Tai. I love you, the rest doesn't matter."
"No, I have something I have to tell you…"
"Go ahead." Matt nodded and waited.
"There is this guy on my soccer team, Osa."
"Go on…" Matt waited not realizing his phone's battery was almost completely dead.
"He was nice and…raped me…" The phone cut out a couple times before it went dead. Matt jumped out of his bed and grabbed a bag. He hurriedly put clothes into it and ran out into the living room where the rest of the band was watching some show with a blonde girl stabbing vampires with wood.
"Guys, I'm going back for a while." The three guys on the couch looked over at him and opened their mouths to protest. "Someone has been raping Tai." Matt's band mates closed their mouths and nodded returning their attention to the TV, there was no way they could stop Matt, so why try? They waved as he rushed out the door and winced as the blonde stuck the wood into one of the vampires.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Matt? I'm sorry, I was upset…I didn't…I…I'm sorry." Tai listened to the silence, he didn't realize that Matt's phone went dead and he had only heard part of the message. Tai closed his phone and threw it against the wall; Matt was never going to talk to him again. Tai fell back onto his bed and let the tears fall.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Matt nearly sprinted into the airport and up to a woman at one of the desks. She looked a little shocked as he slid to a stop before her.
"One to Japan please, I'm in a hurry." Matt waited as the lady punched some numbers into her computer. She kept looking up at him and smiling, which made Matt feel a little uncomfortable. "Is there something wrong?"
"Oh no, Sir, you're the guy from that band." She smiled at him and lifted up the magazine that featured Matt and his band. Matt sighed and shook his head.
"Can I just get that ticket?" The woman nodded and handed him a ticket.
"The plane leaves in ten minutes."
"Thanks." Matt looked at the ticket and started to where the plane was boarding.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Tai got out of the shower and quickly dressed. He couldn't stop thinking about Matt and how he now most likely hated him. Tai looked in the mirror and combed his hair. There was nothing he could do now, it was over and all because of what he did. Tai walked out of the bathroom and back into his room. He collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling. He wasn't crying, he couldn't cry anymore. He had no tears left to spare. As he stared at the ceiling he could hear a soft clink sound. As he listened the sound grew louder until he realized it was coming from his window. Tai got up, went to his window, and opened it. He looked outside to see Osa standing in the street.
"What are you doing?" Tai called down to him, Osa smiled and waved up to Tai.
"Come down here and talk to me." Osa waved for him to come down and Tai shook his head.
"No, go home Osa." Tai turned to walk away from his window.
"If you don't, I'll wake up the whole neighborhood!" Osa shouted after him, and Tai sighed.
"Alright, be quiet, I'm coming." Tai shook his head and shut the window, this doesn't bode well. He grabbed a sweater and his cell phone before heading out the door and down to the street to meet the impatient Osa.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Matt sighed as the plane finally took off; he had been in line for what had seemed forever to get his bag checked. It really had only been five minutes, but to Matt it was forever, it was more time that Tai could be the victim of that rapist Osa! It made Matt sick just thinking about it! Some other guy touching his Tai, some other guy kissing his Tai, some other guy being anywhere near his Tai! Who did that Osa think he was? He was in no way allowed to even glance at Tai! The first thing Matt was going to do was he was going to get Tai, then that Osa guy was going down. Matt balled his hands into fists; this was going to be the longest flight of his life.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Tai walked out of the main door to the building to find Osa leaned against his car. When Osa noticed him, he smiled and took the few steps to where Tai was standing.
"So, what are you doing?" When Tai heard Osa's question he turned to walk back into the building. "Hey, you can't go back in!" Tai turned back and glared at Osa.
"I didn't come all the way down here to tell you I was getting ready for bed, and you didn't make me come down here to ask me what I was doing, so tell me what you want." Osa nodded and walked closer to Tai.
"The truth is I am not at all good at small talk…"
"Obviously."
"So, I was wondering if you wanted to come to my place." Tai sighed and grabbed the door handle.
"Earlier, I was upset, that's why you got what you did. There is no way I'm going to let it happen again, good night." Tai went to turn the knob when he was violently yanked off of his feet. He felt himself getting thrown over Osa's shoulder and he started kicking his feet in an attempt to free himself.
"Earlier I was lucky, but I did kind of miss the thrill of raping you, and now I can again." Osa was saying, his voice almost sing-song. Osa opened the door to the back seat and shoved Tai in, he looked at the shocked look on Tai's face and laughed before shutting the door and moving around the car to the driver's seat. "Hold on, this is going to be a bumpy ride." Tai looked into the rearview mirror and saw the evil smirk that took up most of Osa's face, this was not going to be good. Osa started the car and put it in drive, he looked back at Tai and winked as he slammed his foot on the gas pedal. Tai fell back against the seat and hit his head on the door; Osa just kept going, laughing the whole way.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Matt sighed and looked out the window he was sitting by. Come on, come on! I'm coming for you Tai. Matt looked around the cabin and started jiggling his leg, he just couldn't sit still! Matt knew Tai was out there, and he had this strange feeling that something bad was happening to him. Hold on Tai, a little longer, and we'll be together.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Tai grunted a little as he landed painfully on the stone floor. He blinked a couple times before he was able to actually see his surroundings. From what he could tell he was in some abandoned building, but from his angle he could tell for sure. Tai turned so that he was on his back, for he landed on his side, and looked up to see Osa already taking off his shirt.
"I thought we were going to your place." Tai said trying to stall as he sat up. Osa smiled and reached down for Tai roughly pushing him back onto his back.
"My brother wouldn't want his rest to be disturbed by your screams, and I have a thing for you in places of little comfort."
"You can't really like this, don't you want to rape me in a bed?" Tai winced as he tried to get up again but was stopped by Osa's foot on his chest. Osa then got down on his knees and leaned so that he was whispering in Tai's ear.
"Pain turns me on, the thought of scraping my knees against this floor with every thrust…until they bleed…I can't explain the feeling. It reminds me of my first boyfriend, he used to burn me, and I bit him…good times." Tai flinched and tried to slide away from him.
"Good times? You're sick, crazy, and twisted! I can't believe you; I refuse to be any part of your sick fantasies or whatever you want to call it." Tai rolled away from him and moved to stand but was stopped as he was pulled back by his hair. Tai fell onto his back in front of Osa and stared up into his sneering face.
"You refuse? You have no choice Babe, this is rape."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Matt looked around the cabin and fastened his seatbelt as they started to land. He was starting to go crazy trying to figure out where Tai could be, where that Osa could be, and what all had happened after he had left. Matt waited for the plane to come to a complete stop before he stood but his seatbelt was off as soon as the tires were on the ground. He quickly stood when the plane stopped and grabbed his bag from the overhead compartment. He was trying to decide where to go first once he got out of the airport and thought it would be better to stop by his house first, it wasn't like he had any other idea where Tai could be anyway, unless he was at practice. Matt sighed and hurriedly got off the plane and made his way out of the airport.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Tai started awake when he felt a sharp pain from his shoulder. He turned his head to see Osa teeth hidden within his skin. Tai gasped as Osa stopped biting him and watched as some blood ran down his shoulder.
"Time to get up sleepy, we've got practice." Osa smiled as he grabbed his clothes and started pulling them on. Tai quickly sat up and looked around. They were still in that building! Tai had thought that had been just a horrible dream, but as he looked around and felt the sting in his shoulder, he knew this was no dream. Osa laughed a little and threw Tai's clothes at him. "I called your mom and told her you stayed at my place, I have some extra shorts and stuff you can borrow for practice…"
"You called my mom?!" Tai quickly put on his clothes and stood grabbing his shoulder in an attempt to ease the pain.
"Yeah, she was happy. When you weren't there when she got up she was worried. She thanked me for calling." Osa smiled and grabbed Tai's arm pulling him against his chest. "You're mine now. That bite," Osa nodded toward Tai's injured shoulder, "is deep enough that it will scar…marking you as mine." Tai pushed away from Osa and glared.
"No, you're wrong…" Osa smiled again and grabbed Tai's wrist.
"We'll see about that." Osa pulled Tai along until they were out of the building and to his car. "Get in." Osa opened the door for Tai and he silently complied, knowing that resistance would not help at all at the moment. Osa closed the door after Tai was in and got in on the other side. Osa looked over at Tai who was staring out the window and grabbed his chin forcing
him to look him in the eye. "If you are a good boy I may not hurt you tonight." Tai looked away and Osa smiled starting the car.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Matt sighed and knocked on Tai's door waiting for an answer. He stood for a few minutes before the door opened and Matt smiled when Kari's head popped around the door.
"Hey Kari!" Kari's eyes grew wide and she smiled as she opened the door all the way.
"Matt! What are you doing back here so soon? Mom, Matt's here!" Matt walked through the door as Tai's mom ran out of the kitchen to greet him. She gave him a hug and Matt out his bag on the floor.
"Actually, I'm here to see Tai." Kari and Tai's mother looked at each other and back at Matt.
"Tai is at soccer practice." Tai's mother voiced as she motioned for Matt to sit. Great, he is where that Osa guy is, Matt sat and nodded as a 'thank you'.
"When did he leave?"
"Well, he didn't leave here, he stayed with some friend the other night, Osa I think." Matt didn't know what to say or think when he heard that, but the first thing that popped in his head was that Osa had hurt Tai, had taken him away. Matt stood to the silent shock of Kari and her mother.
"I'll go get him."
"Practice isn't completely over yet, don't you think you should…"
"No, I'll get him." Matt did a sort of little bow and quickly walked back out the door, Osa was going to do it again, like he had no doubt done it the other night. Matt refused to let that happen again, there was no way Osa was going to do anything like that while Matt was around. Matt balled his hand into a fist as he walked down the street.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Tai you don't seem all together today, is something wrong?" Coach Iz had pulled Tai aside when they started their short break.
"I'm fine…" Tai answered glancing over at Osa who had been watching him all day. They had been late on the field not only because they got there after everyone else, but also when Osa realized there was no one else in the locker room, he saw an opportunity.
"Tai, you can tell me anything remember?" Coach Iz placed a hand on Tai's shoulder and gave him a look that clearly meant he wasn't buying any of Tai's crap.
"Really, I'm fine." Tai shook off Iz's hand and walked away. Coach Iz sighed and blew his whistle.
"That's it boys, I'm done with you for the day, you've all been working hard so you get a break, your dismissed." A cheer rose but when Tai looked over and noticed the smirk that consumed Osa's face he groaned inwardly.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Matt got off the bus and started across the street to the soccer field. He couldn't see anyone out there, maybe Tai got out early today. Matt started for the building that he assumed had the locker rooms; people were coming out of there so it was the best place to start his search. Matt saw an older man that he assumed was the coach and smiled.
"Excuse me, are you the soccer coach?" The man turned to him and stopped walking.
"Yeah, but you're too late. The team is already chosen, try next year." Coach Iz turned and started to walk away.
"No, I'm here to get Tai, do you know where he is?" Coach Iz turned and pointed back to the building.
"He is always one of the last ones to leave, him and Osa." Matt nodded and turned to the building. He looked it over a couple times before running to the doors. Hold on Tai.
