Tristan if that was even his real name, which I highly doubt it was.
Pulled over outside a large grey warehouse. "Where are we?" I asked a
little scared and curious at the same time. "We're just where I need us to
be." He answered in a taunting voice. "And where is that?" I tried to make
my voice sound flirtatious so he didn't know how scared I was. But I failed
miserably.
He laughed and leaned over to kiss my neck. "What are you doing?" I
demanded as I pushed him away. "You owe me."
"I don't owe you anything." I almost yelled.
"That's funny." Tristan said slowly, and softly but in a really terrifying
way.
"Because I seem to remember my friends and I, saving your ass."
"That was you? Thank you oh my god you saved my life!"
"Yes I did and you owe me." He leaned over and attempted to untie my top.
"Get off me." I yelled pushing him away. I tried to open the door, but
Tristan had already locked them.
"Come on honey, why else would you have gotten in the car? You know you
want it."
"Get off." I kicked him in the face and tried to open a window to throw
myself out of.
He grabbed my ponytail and pulled me back towards him.
"Listen Bitch stop moving it'll be easier for us both."
I screamed and managed to reach over and unlock the doors; I threw open the
passenger door and ran out. I reached into my bag and pulled out my phone.
"If you come anywhere near me I'll call the police and you'll be wanted for
rape."
He pulled the door shut and sped away. Leaving skid marks on the pavement
the car had been rested on.
I looked around for the other car Dara had been in. it was nowhere in sight. Dara must have actually been taken to the party. I didn't know how to get home. I was in the middle of nowhere, and I didn't want to call my mum or dad. I decided to call Keegan. I managed to force my shaking hands to dial the numbers of Keegan's mobile. She answered on the fourth ring. "Keegan, um will you please come and pick me up I don't know how to get home." I could feel the chunks start to rise in my throat. I didn't want to cry, I couldn't. "Kyla what's wrong? What happened you sound so upset?" "Just pick me up ok, I'll tell you it all later." "Ok I'm on my way. Where are you?" I looked around I was in front of a tall warehouse; it was grey and had tinted black windows. Opposite was a school, no a day care centre. "I'm outside of happy champs day care centre." "I know that place my cousin Michael goes there." "Please hurry." "Be there in five." "Bye" "Bye" "Oh Keegan, before you go, can I stay over at your place tonight?" "Sure Andrea is as well and I'll ask Dara later." "Ok thanks a lot. Bye." I put my phone into my jacket pocket. And ran across the street so I could stand outside the day care, like I told Keegan.
I pulled out my phone again and rang mum. I told her I was ok, and that I was staying over at Keegan's house. Mum said that was fine and that when I got home dad had news for us all.
When I hung up. Keegan had just pulled up I ran over to her car and slid into the passenger seat. "Ok girl talk, what happened." I promised myself I wouldn't cry. I wouldn't give Tristan the satisfaction. But I just burst into tears. Keegan wrapped her arms around me and tried to calm me down. Through the tears I managed to blurt out what had happened. "Oh Kyla, I'm sorry. Don't worry I'm here now we can go home I called Andrea and Dara and they can meet us at my place. Don't worry your safe now."
I was always grateful for what Keegan said to me. She always knew just what to say and when to say it. That night we drove back to Keegan's house in silence. I had cheered up immensely when we got there though I managed to forget about what happened. We watched Keegan's little brothers David and Robert do a little puppet show. It was so cute.
When Andrea and Dara finally got to Keegan's it was well past one o'clock. They told us what they had gotten up to and in great detail must to Keegan and my protests. When they asked me what I did that night. I just shrugged and said, "It was pretty uneventful." Keegan and I exchanged knowing smiles.
We talked and giggled until half past four in the morning and then fell a sleep, The next day I woke up last. "Hey sleeping beauty get up. Your mum's here to pick you up" "Can I borrow- "Yes here some jeans and a shirt. Hurry up, Andrea's already gone and Dara's ringing her mum as we speak.
I shoved on Keegan's clothes, waved goodbye and ran downstairs. "Bye Kyla." Keegan's parents called. "Oh bye, thank you so much for having me!" I called back running out the front door towards my mother.
"Hi mum!" I said. She kissed me on the cheek. "How was your night?" "It was good." There was no way I was going to turn around and say it was bad mum. Really bad. The leader of a gang raped me. A leader of a gang that saved my life. So I just did what I was best at. I lied. "Well, your father told us all the news last night. Because you know how excited your father gets." I smiled to myself. I remembered the time it was my birthday, and he had made me a pink bike. He was so excited he gave me the bike three weeks before my birthday.
"Yeah?" "Well honey, your not going to be happy with this but your father got a job offer for a chef at a very fancy restaurant." "Why wouldn't I be happy? That's great!" "Well honey, the job it's on a little town called castle rock in Oregon." "We have to MOVE?" I shouted. "In Four days."
I was so overcome with emotions. I was thrilled for my dad he'd wanted a job offer like this for years. I was also relieved knowing that I'd now defiantly never have to see Tristan again. But I was heartbroken. I would have to leave Trisha, Dara, Andrea and Keegan behind. As well as my whole life as I knew it. Of coarse I'd moved before. A big move in fact. I was born in Sydney Australia. We moved here to New York just before I started school. So it was different I had no friends to leave behind.
We pulled into the driveway of my home. My home. That I'd be leaving in four days. I walked over to the front door, and let myself in. I could see mum was excited as well. If she weren't why would the lounge room and kitchen already be packed?
"Where's dad?" I inquired. "He's at an auction in Castle rock. Buying us a beautiful little house." "He's buying a house in Castle rock now? With what eighteen hours of notice?" "Actually honey." My mum started slowly. As if talking to a psycho, being very careful I wouldn't snap. "Your father and I have known about this for about two months."
Now that was something I hadn't expected. "You lied!!" "No Kyla we just weren't sure if it was going to happen." "I can't believe this!" I turned on my heel and spun around. "Where are you going?" my mother asked softly. "Going to say good bye to my life!" And with those few words I stormed up to my room to ring my friends, and start to pack my things.
That night my dad came home with great news. He'd bought the house. Wow. Great news. I couldn't believe how fast things were moving along. And not only were we going to move. Tatiana and Brenna weren't going to be coming with us! Brenna. When she got back from her trip was going to be living in a little apartment off campus with some friends. And Tatiana was moving in with her best friend Gracie. Life sucks!
Over the Last few days of my life in New York. I packed my things, said goodbye to my friends who promised to stay in touch, and was beginning to get really, really nervous.
The day finally came when my Family and I. Minus Brenna, Tatiana and my dog Malakai, who Tatiana was going to keep. Were leaving behind New York.
Not one eye was dry that day. We had a farewell BBQ. All of our friends and family were invited. It was so heart wrenching saying goodbye to everyone. I got everyone's phone numbers and everyone's addresses. I promised I would ring everyday and write at least once a fortnight.
The moving vans had arrived at our new home in Castle rock, and mum and dad had already been down there and set everything up, so we felt "at ease" when we got there. Not likely.
Anna and Patience got into the back of mums car and started on the five hour journey to our new place.
While Claudia and got into the back of dad's car. Over and over in my head I could hear the toast we had made ten minutes earlier. "to a new life!"
I looked around for the other car Dara had been in. it was nowhere in sight. Dara must have actually been taken to the party. I didn't know how to get home. I was in the middle of nowhere, and I didn't want to call my mum or dad. I decided to call Keegan. I managed to force my shaking hands to dial the numbers of Keegan's mobile.
