Chapter 7
One Month Later
"I _ hate _ closing!"
Bonnie pushed the door open, a gust of cold air tossing her curls behind her. She locked the Employee entrance to Nordstrom's, grateful that she was going home.
Bonnie began walking towards her car, pulling her coat tighter, wishing she'd worn a heavier jacket.
All of a sudden, a hand clamped down over her mouth. Bonnie jumped, and her heart skipped a beat as she was thrown down to the ground. She looked up, frantically, trying to get a glimpse of whoever it was. It was no use; it was far too dark. All she could see was a silhouette.
She was breathing hard through her nose, the hand still over her mouth so hard her lips dug into her teeth.
"No," she whimpered as he finally removed his hand from her mouth. She was too scared to scream; she could barely form a coherent word.
She felt a hand slide her long skirt up her legs. Bonnie tried to move but found herself seemingly paralyzed.
Tears slid down Bonnie's cheeks as she felt the man remove her underwear. "Oh God. Please… please, no… _ please… _"
Her pleas were of no use; that was apparent from the sound of a belt unbuckling and pants being taken off.
The body on top of her was heavy and fingertips pressed into the skin of her arms. Bonnie's back arched as something tore inside her. She sobbed as she felt blood trickling between her legs. "Please…" she whispered, but she herself could barely hear it.
Bonnie wanted to do something, _ anything _ to save herself, but her muscles would not move.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy and the only thing she knew for sure was that the searing pain was real and that this man was hurting her. The pain was too much, and she felt the scream that wanted to tear from her throat. But try as she might, she could not release it.
Bonnie could feel him shudder, and she could hear his groans along with her useless whimpers. The gravel from the pavement was rough against her skin. And still, the only thing her hysterical mind could comprehend was that this wasn't Matt and he was hurting her and hurting her and it wasn't stopping.
But suddenly, it did. She felt him slip off of her and heard as he put on his clothes. The sound of feet pounding against the pavement echoed painfully in her mind.
Black spots danced across Bonnie's vision, and she felt the world spin.
"Matt…"
And then she blacked out.
