Lauren , Harry , Marilyn and Erica were all sitting around waiting for the shoe to since they al l knew something was wrong but couldn't tell excally what it was . Nothing seemed any thing but normal Harry's kids down in the dungeon were actually doing some work ( which was kind of odd but knowing Harry had some kind of deal with them .) Harry had broken up a fight . Marilyn had found out that once again she was on the top of the list that the male students wanted to sleep with only this time she found out that just under her was Lauren , Ronnie and Louisa all tied for second place . Lauren well it had been one of those days for her she'd just narrowly escaped being caught in the middle of a fight . Finally , there was Erica who just wanted to be able to be seen with her boy friend Mark Bass and was about at the end of her rope . When all was said and done it had been just any other day at Winslow High after all what could happen in one class period they all thought .
Since 4th period was Lauren's planning she sat down at her desk to grade papers when she heard a knock on her door . Lauren got up to answer it to be greeted by the worst nightmare of her life something that would change her life for ever . The two male students pushed Lauren back into the classroom, taunting her with the whispers of what they were plaining to do to her . Each action explained just as they would eventually be carried out . Lauren Davis wanted to scream out in pain as they beat her and as they took turns at her . Finally they left leaving the in the air behind a laugh them as they ask her
"How's Senate gonna feel about you now ?"
Five Thirty comes around and know one had seen Lauren and that just was not like Lauren . She would have not shown up to Erica's basketball game unless something was wrong and they all knew this.
'I'm gonna try her cell." Harry told them all as they stood outside the Gym . I'll try the house. Erica said pulling her own cell out . I really hope she just got caught up in grading papers again . Hey I'm gonna go down to her classroom and her if she's in there she told the three teachers that had gathered . I'm going with you she heard Marilyn say . Erica opened the door to her sister's classroom to discover some thing she never thought she'd ever see , her sister looking absolutely broken , It was easy to tell what had gone on in that classroom and they both could see it all . Lauren Davis had n't even bothered getting up . From the look so fit she could have even if she had tried too . They'd really done a job on her they'd even tied her up and she had to be weak from all the blood loss from the cuts on her body . Erica looked at her sister Lauren I'm calling an ambulance right now and Marilyn is gonna call Harry . Lauren we've gotta tell Steven too. I'll call him right now h e's probably still here . Erica dialed the number to the front office only to hear Louisa's voice . Louisa this is Erica Miller , tell Mr .Harper to get to Lauren's classroom ASAP and Louisa the police and the ambulance will be here shortly . " What Happened!" Louisa almost yelled as she motioned for Steven to pick up the other end of the phone. Louisa, Lauren has been attacked in her classroom I know she's been beaten and from the looks of it raped too. She's bleeding pretty badly. Marilyn is with us now but, we've called Harry and he's on his way. Lauren wasn't even aware of any of this actitvy going on around her because she'd passed out only to be awaked to her vitals taken by none other than Lisa Greer . Lauren Davis was now in the back of an ambulance on her way to the hospital as she heard the paramedic calling in orders to the hospital . White female 30 years of age physical and sexual assault , mutplie lacerations and some loss of blood we loss of cautiousness BP 90/60 and dropping pulse 130 . Hold on Ms .Davis Lisa told her .
It was an hour before they heard anything . Daniel Davis stepped out of the ER into the waiting room tapping his baby sister on her shoulder . Erica looked at her brother and asked him about Lauren . Well, we've stitched her up and were going to send her home as soon as the police are finished talking to her . "Hey Daniel can Lauren have these" Harry asked as he handed him some of Laurens clothes . Yes she can Daniel Davis told Harry Senate . One more thing the police are going need statements from all of you Daniel said as he looked at Marilyn and Erica . Why Erica asks "Because we were the first witnesses" Marilyn answers her . It was 11:30 before they arrived home to see their street covered with reporters
*What in the Hell is going on here* Erica thought to her self as she stepped out of her blazer .
"Excuse me Mam" Erica ask the reporter closest to her "what are you doing here?" Well we were trying to get a comment from Lauren Davis . Well, I can speak for my sister when I say that she wishes only to be left alone.
The reporter refused to let up integrating Erica almost as intensely as the police had just finished doing. Would you answer one question for us thought How is Lauren the young dark - haired reporter from channel eight spoke . No longer being able to control her anger Erica finally almost to the point of no return when Mark Bass walks up behind her and pulls h er a way from the crowd and down the street. What is going on Erica he asked as he put his arms around her? Just as Scott Guber happened by . Scott Guber looks at them both and in a single breath interrogated them they way they both knew he would if he'd ever had occasion to see them together. I walk down a street and see one of my teachers all hugged up on a student I get worried . "Listen Scott," Mark spoke only to be interrupted by Kevin Reilly who was walking back to Lauren Apartment with a bag of things from the twenty - four - hour super market just down the street . Scott I'm sure nothing is going on here after the night Erica just needed someone to talk to . "Scott if you want to find out what happened watch the early local news in the morning." Mark spoke Mr . Guber I would tell you what was going on if I could but, under the circumstances I can't just let say Mark just saved me from getting arrested not ten minutes a go. Ok, Scott thought *why would a teacher keep his student from getting arrested and why would she call him by his name .*
"Can I ask you two another question or two ,the first Erica why do you call h im Mark out of school and Mr. Bass is school and the second , why can you tell me what's going on that I find one of my teachers and one of my students walking arm in arm like lovers on a street at 20 minutes to 12 on a Thursday night?"
" Well ,Do you want the long version of the short one . Erica and Mark ask at the same time , Ok , we'll go with the short one Erica said We met about 15 years ago when I moved to Myrtle Beach and we were neighbors . Until I moved here two years ago. As for why I call him Mark off campus and Mr. Bass on campus it's all matter of respect and as for the answer as to why I won't tell y o u what's going on its out of respect for some ones wishes. By the way we have dated but aren' t seeing each other now because I don't want to risk his job."
