Chapter 19
Destiny rolled over on the bed that she was laying on. She had a pounding headache and couldn't remember anything that happened the night before. Destiny sat up and winced as the sunlight hit her eyes. She rubbed her eyes to clear the sleep away from them. Destiny looked down and realized that she wasn't wearing any clothes. She noticed blood on the sheets. Her jaw fell open slightly. She noticed her clothes scattered around the room. She moved to grab her panties and slipped them on, along with her skirt. Tears were forming in her eyes. I've been raped. This can't be happening. My parent's are going to kill me for not being home, Destiny thought while she put her bra and shirt on.
Destiny reached into the back pocket of her skirt. She opened her enV and noticed that she had 20 missed calls and 5 voicemails. She dialed her voice mail and entered her password. She was wondering who exactly called her and why she didn't hear it. Usually she would wake up when she heard the phone ringing. Tears were threatening to fall.
Destiny where are you? You r father and I come home and you're not here. Call us when you get this
Destiny Hope! Where the hell are you?! You're mother and I are worried sick! Get home as soon as you get this!
Des… your parents just called my house saying that you weren't home. They wanted to know if you were over my house hanging out with Liz and Brandon and I. I'm really worried Des. Call me back as soon as you get this. Please…
Destiny I swear you better have a damn good explanation as to why you aren't home. I swear if you went to that par- Delete
Des… please please call me. I'm sorry for being mean to you. I didn't mean it. Des please call me back
Destiny let the tears fall after she heard the desperate tone of Chris's voice. She made her way out of the room, slowly. The inside of her legs were sore as well as her womanly region. She had a really good idea of who did this to her. She remembered the water that Matt had given her. It tasted funny. He must have put something in it, Destiny thought to herself.
Destiny slowly made her way down the stairs. She cringed at the stench of alcohol. She stepped over the bodies on the stairs, jumping as someone moved. She thought that it looked like a war zone and not a party zone. She could see people passed out everywhere. It was a horrible sight. Destiny was definitely scared for right now. All she wanted to do was go home and take a warm shower.
Destiny opened her phone and checked the time. It was 6am. She couldn't call her parents knowing that they were probably still sleeping. Although with her being gone, with no note, she's doubts that they have gotten any sleep. I'm surprised they haven't sent the cops looking for me, Destiny thought. She went through her list of contacts.
"Who would be most sympathetic?" Destiny asked herself as she went through the numbers, "Uncle Chad." Destiny pressed the send button and called the Danforth residence.
At the Danforth's
After hours of laying awake Chris, Chad and Taylor finally managed to fall asleep, but it wasn't a peaceful sleep. Chris was in his room, his body twisted at an odd angle. Taylor was asleep on her and Chad's bed, her arm bent uncomfortably. Chad was asleep, downstairs, on the couch near the phone. He jumped when he heard the phone ring.
Not wanting to wake up his wife and son, Chad quickly answered the phone, "Hello?" Chad answered groggily and half asleep.
"U-Uncle Chad," Destiny whimpered, her voice shaking. Chad violently sat up.
"Destiny. Where the hell are you?!" Chad yelled over the phone.
"P-Please pick me up. I-I'm scared," Destiny said, tears falling down her face. Chad heard the fear in her voice. He knew that she was crying hysterically right now.
"I'll be right there. Just tell me where you are," Chad said softly, not wanting to upset the girl anymore. Destiny told him exactly where she was, "I know where that is. I'll be there in ten minutes." Chad made sure that Destiny was going to stay where she was and reassured the frightened girl that everything was going to be okay. Chad hung up the phone and made his way upstairs. He grabbed his shoes and put them on. He kissed Taylor on the forehead and left her a note.
Chad grabbed his keys from the dresser and made his way back downstairs. He went out to his car and got in. He started the car and took off down the driveway. He was wondering why Destiny had called him, instead of Sharpay or someone else. Chad pushed that thought to the back of his mind. All that he was worried about was the girl who was on the phone a few minutes ago.
Ten minutes later Chad pulled up at the house that Destiny told him. He scanned the front yard and found Destiny sitting on the porch. He got out of the car and made his way towards her. Chad knelt down and reached out a hand and touched her shoulder. She recoiled at his touch and whimpered softly. Chad brought his hand back.
"Destiny, what happened?" Chad asked. Destiny looked up and saw her Uncle sitting there. Destiny burst into tears and Chad helped her up carefully. Whatever happened to Destiny really frightened her. Chad was planning on getting to the bottom of this if it was the last thing he did. Chad led her to the car and helped her get up. As they were walking to the car, Chad noticed that she was limping slightly. That caused him to worry. He got her into the car and got into the passenger seat, "Do you want me to take you home?" Chad asked Destiny. Destiny shook her head no, "My house?" Destiny nodded her head yes, "Alright then."
Chad pulled away from the house and did a K-Turn and made his way back to his house. He decided that he would question her when they got back to his house. He didn't want to upset Destiny any more then she already was. Chad noticed that she was crying again. Chad sighed softly and reached over to touch her hand, for comfort, but she whimpered and pulled her hand away. Chad moved his hand back to the wheel.
A few minutes later Chad pulled into the driveway. He got out of the car, after turning it off, and went over to Destiny's side. He helped her out of the car and into the house. He brought her into the living room, "I'm going to wake up Aunt Taylor okay?" Chad asked her softly. Destiny nodded and brought her knees up to her chest. Chad quickly made his way up stairs and into his and his wife's room. He saw Taylor still sleeping, "Taylor." Chad gently shook her which woke her up. She was always a light sleeper.
"Chad? What's wrong?" Taylor asked quietly. Chad looked towards the door and then back at his wife.
"Des called me this morning and told me to pick her up. Something's wrong and she's downstairs right now. Come with me. I need to ask her what happened but she recoils at my touch," Chad said. Taylor nodded and got up and put on her bathrobe. Taylor followed her husband down to the living room. That was when she saw the broken girl curled up on the couch. Taylor went in and sat down next to Destiny on the couch.
"Destiny, sweetie. It's your Aunt Taylor okay? I want you to tell me what happened," Taylor said softly, so she didn't disturb Destiny who was whimpering softly on the couch. Taylor looked like she was about to cry. She had no idea what had happened to Destiny but what ever it was it really had her upset. Destiny heard her Aunt Taylor talking to her but she didn't have the energy to lift her head up., "Sweetie I can't help you if you don't talk to me. I need you to tell me what happened. I won't tell anyone."
Destiny bit her lip softly, listening to her Aunt Taylor. She knew that Taylor was going to call her dad after this but she needed someone to talk to. Destiny looked up at Taylor. Taylor's heart broke at the sight of her. Destiny was going to tell Taylor what happened to her and she was going to do it right now, "I-I went to a party last night. O-One I wasn't s-supposed to go to. A-And I don't r-remember much but I woke up with n-no clothes on, blood on the bed and s-sore," Destiny said her voice cracking every so often. Tears fell rapidly down her face. Taylor gasped and Chad's jaw dropped.
"Sweetie," Taylor said softly pulling Destiny to her. Destiny collapsed against Taylor, crying, "It's going to be okay. We're going to help you through this. Uncle Chad and I will go with you when you go to tell your parents." Destiny tensed up at the mention of her parents. That was one thing she wasn't ready for.
"I can't tell them. No. No way am I telling my parents what happened," Destiny said clinging tightly to Taylor. Taylor looked at Destiny and then at Chad. Chad shrugged his shoulders as if saying 'I don't know what to do.' Taylor rolled her eyes at how unhelpful her husband was in this situation.
"Sweetie you're going to tell them today and Chad and I will be there with you. Why don't I get you into the shower, was your clothes and I'll have Chad leave a pair of boxer shorts and a t-shirt out in front of the bathroom door?" Taylor said to Destiny. Destiny nodded her head and Taylor stood up, helping Destiny up. Taylor pushed her towards the stairs, "Don't wake Chris up. Grab a pair of boxer shorts and a shirt of his out of his dresser and bring them to me." Chad nodded and followed his wife and Destiny up the stairs.
Taylor entered her and Chad's bedroom with Destiny following her. She opened the bathroom door and turned the light on. She began the shower, "Do you want anymore help Desi or are you fine by yourself?" Taylor asked quietly not wanting to scare the girl.
"I'll be fine. Will you be waiting out there for me when I get out?" Destiny asked, like a child who was hurt and just wanted to be comforted. Taylor nodded, "I'll be out soon." Taylor kissed Destiny on the forehead and walked out of the bathroom. Destiny turned at stared at herself in the mirror. She grimaced at her reflection.
Destiny didn't like her reflection at all. She unzipped the dress she was wearing and noticed the bruises on her stomach. She wondered exactly what Matt had done to her. She felt like she was going to throw up at the sight of the bruises. She took off the rest of what she was wearing and turned around and went into the shower. The water felt good on her hurting body. She felt her muscles relax under the warm water that was cascading down her back. She washed her hair and washed her body. She scrubbed until her skin felt raw. She wanted to wash off the disgust and grossness that she felt but knew that she wouldn't be able to.
Stepping out of the shower, a half and hour later, Destiny wrapped a towel around her body. She slipped on her underwear and went to the door. She opened it but didn't leave the bathroom, "Aunt Taylor. I need the clothes," Destiny said softly. She felt clothes being placed in her hands, "Thank you." Destiny closed the door and looked at the clothes in her hands. She saw her favorite shirt of Chris's. She couldn't help but smile.
She slipped on the boxers and put the shirt on. She rummaged through the drawers in the counter and found a hair brush. She brushed out her hair. Her hair immediately made soft curls. She found a pony tail and put her hair up in a messy bun. She never liked to leave her hair down when it was wet. When she put it up in a bun when it was wet and then took it down when it was dry, there were soft curls that cascaded down her back.
Stepping out of the bathroom, Destiny found her Aunt sitting on the bed waiting for her. Taylor smiled at Destiny and patted the spot next to her. Destiny climbed onto the bed and laid down. Taylor laid down with her as well, "Sweetie I know how scary it was for you but you need to tell your parents," Taylor said softly. Destiny nodded, "Who did this too you anyway?"
Destiny grew quiet. Everyone in East Albuquerque knew about Matt Robertson's reputation. She didn't know how Taylor was going to react when she told her but she figured that she better tell her and get it over with, "Matt Robertson," Destiny said quietly, "I know I never should have trusted him. But I've liked him since I can't even remember when and I thought it was going to be different with me."
"Sweetie you were blinded by love. But you do know that Chris is very worried and upset with you," Taylor said. Destiny nodded looking away, "He cares about you so much. He just doesn't want to see you get hurt. And the other night, when Lizzie called you, Chris, Brandon and Lizzie were all over here. Lizzie was really hurt by what you said to her on the phone. You might want to call her and tell her you're okay."
Destiny sighed softly, "I can't. I don't think we're exactly on speaking terms at the moment," Destiny said quietly, "And with Chris. I don't think he-" A knock on the bedroom door could be heard. Taylor shouted come in and the door opened, revealing a messy haired Chris.
"Mom did they find-" Chris stopped short when he saw who was on the bed with his mother. Destiny felt tears well up in her eyes, "Destiny." Chris couldn't believe it. Taylor quietly slipped out of the bedroom, shutting the door behind her. She knew that they needed to have a talk. She hoped that Chris would give Destiny the comfort she needed, and she hoped that Destiny would come to her senses and let Chris comfort her.
