"Brent! For Christ's sake stop." I yelled shoving him in the chest.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Brent asked confused. "You'll screw any other guy in our school except for me?"
"Just go to hell." I told him fiercy, his words had hit a nerve.
Brent ignored what I said and came at me again. He slammed my back against the wall knocking the breath from my chest. I tried pushing him away but he was too close, I knew I would be able to knock him down if I could just get him off of me. I felt around the desk next to me, I just needed something, anything. My hand found a letter opener. I quickly gripped the handle and jabbed him in the thigh with it.
He yelled at the sudden shock and pain. Sure enough he moved away from me so I was no longer pinned against the wall. He recovered quickly and threwed a hard punch to my face. It hit and a wave of pain went across my face but I stayed focused. I quickly rammed him into the desk. He groaned in pain, I didn't give him a chance to recover. I pushed him onto the ground and landed a few good kicks.
"I am not a whore!" I yelled giving him a fierce kick.
I knelt down on his stomach. I fumbled around in my back pocket for the pocket knife that I always carried.
"And I am not a slut." I said getting the knife out and to his throat. "Say it or I swear to god I am gonna slice you open!"
I was too pissed off to care what I was doing. He didn't say anything, but his eyes widened with fear when he saw the knife.
"Say it!" I yelled at him.
Before I knew it Carter and Adam were pulling me off of him, trying to get the knife out of my hand.
"Let it go, let it go." Adam kept telling me until my grip loosened on the knife.
I let Adam take the knife out of my hand and allowed Carter to pull me to my feet. Everything was moving so fast, I was in a daze. I let Carter lead me out of the room when Allie came running to me, her face full of concern. The rest of the faces around were starring at me. I let them lead me out to my car.
"Gimme the keys." Carter asked holding out a hand.
I shook my head, no one but me drove my car.
"You are in no state to drive, c'mon." Carter asked impatiently.
I shook my head again and opened the door to the front seat. My back ached from being pushed against the wall so hard. Carter watched me for a minute before climbing into the backseat with Adam. Allie was in the front next to me and was watching me closely. I started the engine and slammed on the gas. It felt good being in control again, my anger towards Brent was coming back again.
"I'm going to Oak Street park, I can drop you guys off at your houses first if you like." I said after a few minutes of silence.
"Its still early, we'll stay with you." Allie told me quietly.
I was silently grateful, I didn't feel like going home right now but I didn't want to be alone either. Oak Street Park was pretty much just a clearing in the middle of a forest. The dirt road leading up to it was off of Oak Street, hence the name. I drove down the familiar dirt road and parked my car when I reached the clearing. I cut the engine and leaned back closing my eyes. My brain felt like it was running on over time.
"You okay?" Adam asked leaning forward from the back.
"Yeah, I will be." I replied slowly.
"Did he..." Allie started but hesistate.
"No, he didn't get quite that far." I replied and I could feel Allie relax a bit.
"Thanks for you know, stopping me." I said said uncomfortably.
"You weren't actually gonna kill him were ya?" Carter asked.
"I dunno, I honestly dunno." I replied shaking my head.
I looked in the rear view mirror and could see a large bruise starting on my cheek where he had hit it. I knew that my back and shoulders would be black and blue the next morning. I cursed a few times when I finally realized something.
"This is gonna be all around school by Monday, isn't it?" I asked with a grim smile.
"Knowing Veronica and Brent, yeah probably." Carter replied.
I knew that Veronica would tell the actual story but I wasn't sure about Brent. He would probably make up some elaborate story that completely trashes me. Worst of all, most people would probably believe him since he knows pretty much everyone in the school. Just sitting there was getting me even more frustrated. I opened the door and climbed out.
I slammed the door in anger and stalked towards the basket ball court. I threw a hard punch at the poll holding the basket up. I felt it vibrate through my knuckles and up to my wrist. The pain came in a sharp wave but I ignored it cursing like a sailor. I turned to see my three friends watching me.
"By tomorrow, it is going to be all around the school that I let Brent screw me or something!" I yelled in anger.
"Its okay, no one will believe him." Adam said trying to calm me down.
"Yes they will!" I yelled back "You have no idea what it was like okay? I mean, I barely had any control over what was going on. He was treating me like I was an object not a person! I was sure as hell not the first girl he ever tried that with and the sickest part is he probably actually got what he want with them!"
I felt bad for yelling at my friends but I don't think I had ever been so pissed off in all my life. I turned away so I wouldn't have to see the hurt looks on their faces. I probably would have hit the poll again except I felt someone grab me from behind.
"Calm down, its gonna be alright." Carter kept repeating quietly.
I kept cursing and tried to get away from him but he held me so tight I couldn't budge. I could have kicked him but he was only trying to help, instead I just caught my breath and waited for my anger to pass. It slowly faded until all that filled the silence was my heavy breathing. Carter loosened his grip and I slowly turned to face him. His usal care free face was full of concern.
"Its okay, I'm okay, I just needed to blow off some steam." I said giving him a small smile.
We slowly walked back the car, my friends at my side. This time I let Carter drive, I sat in the back with Allie instead.
"We can crash at my place." Adam suggested "My parents are out of town for the weekend."
I nodded, I didn't want to go home, I got my car and my friends, the only things that mean anything to me. I thought of my brother briefly but I knew he would hit the wall if he found out what had happened tonight. The only person that I missed horribly was Twitch.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I walked through the halls with my head high and my eyes straight forward. I could hear whispering all around me, catching bits and pieces of conversations.
"Yeah, her and Brent..."
"....At Veronica's party, right in her fathers office...."
"She was the one who offered..."
"She's been with like half the guys in the school..."
Allie gave me a reasuring smile and I could feel Adam's arm over my shoulders. People ofter got my friendship with Adam and Carter mixed up. Some people though I dated them on and off. But the truth is, they are like brothers to me, I could never think of dating either of them, it would be too weird.
I was doing pretty good, my friends help keep my spirits up all through the morning. The trouble started at lunch. I was eating with Carter, Adam and Allie outside at one of the tables. I hadn't seen Brent all day. When I felt a hand on my side I jumped a bit.
"Your still a slut." Brent whispered in my ear and smirked when I turned around.
I resisted the urge to hit him, knowing it would make an even bigger scene. Instead and gave him a cold glare and stood up to face him. He was quite alot taller then me but I stood my ground.
"I swear to God, if you ever so much as lay a hand on me again, I will kill you."
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Brent asked confused. "You'll screw any other guy in our school except for me?"
"Just go to hell." I told him fiercy, his words had hit a nerve.
Brent ignored what I said and came at me again. He slammed my back against the wall knocking the breath from my chest.
