Chapter 28 He Will Always Come!
A hand harshly pushed my arms tightly above my head against the wall. I tried to fight, but they were too strong. The person's other hand came around punching me in the face. I groaned in pain tears falling unable to keep them in. I screamed in hope that someone would come.
A mouth harshly came on top of mine. I carried on screaming kicking my legs towards him. I heard a grumble of compliant with my hands being let go. I ran feeling the blood run down my nose. The person came on top of me pinning me down to the floor making a thump.
"You stupid girl. You're mine!" the voice growled. I shivered at the sound. He hit my back, before tuning me roughly to face him. Tom's cruel faced sneered down at me. "It's time! " he demanded. "No one's going to hear you! You can hear that music. Everyone's partying, getting wasted and having some fun. It's time for us to do the same!" he laughed loudly. I whimpered as he whacked my sides, before his mouth came back on mine.
No one would come he is right! I could hear that music. The music is so loud that I knew no one would hear my screams or my cries for help. I was on my own no one is coming.. No one will come.
"Rachel"
I froze thinking I'm imagining Paul's voice. Paul's voice that's always like a promise of reassurance and safety.
"Rachel"
My eyes flew open to find Paul shaking my shoulders with my hands pushing against him. I through myself up at Paul wrapping my arms tightly around his waist this time pulling him as close as I possibly could. Tears fell repeatedly down my cheeks, loud sobs were coming from me that I couldn't keep quiet and my body shaking as I remembered that night.
"It's okay shh your okay " Paul murmured rubbing my back. "Its over. He's not going to touch you ever again!"
"It's not over he's going to come for me" I cried. "No one came and no one will come!"
"You listen hear and you better listen good. I will come no matter where you are. You are not alone anymore. You don't ever have to be alone again! I will always be here and I will always most defiantly come"
I nestled closer clinging onto him. The tears carried on flowing, Paul held me close whispering comfort. Eventually some time later I calmed down, the sobs and shaking stopped. Paul placed me back down on the bed and pulled the blankets back over me. "You need to sleep. The sleep you got yesterday is not near enough, this won't help either." Paul ordered, kissing the top of my head stroking my hair. "I'll be on the couch just down the corridor that's all, nothing is going to happen to you".
After Paul had gotten me some clothes last night we had cuddled as we watched one of his films, eaten pizza from takeout and gone to bed. Paul had not given me a choice in the matter of me sleeping in the bed while he slept on the couch. To be totally honest I really wanted to sleep together like we did last night as I had never had such a peaceful sleep or feel such content before. Last night, I was afraid to fall a sleep for good reason considering I had just dreamed one of my worst memories.
When he stood up to leave, I held onto his hand tighter afraid to let go. "Stay. Stay with me, please" I pleaded in a whisper voice.
Paul smiled softly moving to lie down on the bed. I curled into his side resting my head onto his chest. I lay there in his warmth embrace that gave me the comfort that nothing or nobody ever could
"I won't let him hurt you" he said reassuringly.
I shuddered "Do you really think I should tell them everything?"
Paul signed running his hands through my hair in a smoothing gesture. "doesn't have to be everything or in the length you told me. But they're worried about you more so since you've been back."
"What if they don't believe me? They both hate me!"
"They don't hate you, there just hurt. Of course they'll believe you" he replied softly not bothered by the fact he keeps having to repeat himself. "I'll be there with you if you want"
"You'd be there with me." I asked hopeful.
"Yes. You don't have to tell them alone". Than he added quietly "You don't have to go through it alone anymore. I'm here and I always will be"
"No one came that night. I was on my own" I confessed. "But you came tonight" I added awestruck.
"Next time I will come, I will always come. You can count on me, because I'm here and I'm not going anywhere" "
That's when I realized as we began to fall asleep. In the past no one came, because I didn't really have anybody who cared about me or would stand up to Tom out of fear. But now I know whatever the future is going to bring. I would be okay, because I had Paul and I know Paul will always come.

Finally done a chapter! I'm so sorry it took so long! I bet everybody is just as fed up as I am of these apologies. I can't believe how long it has been, since the last one. My family got a re home puppy that had some issues that I was responsible for looking after and training. Than it took me a while to get into the story again, so I struggled to write something down and when I did I wasn't happy. I'm still not too happy about this chapter, which is why it is short. I will make sure to make the next chapter longer, which is looking good as already started and am getting back into story better.
I'm sorry for any spelling, grammar or punctuation mistakes made. Thank you for reading my fan fiction! Specifically thank you for all the people who review my fan fiction as every thought matters to me and I'm always grateful to hear from them. I hope everyone can forgive me!
