Chapter Two:
Walking to band practice the day after her custody trial, Marta hung her head low...When her Mom had gotten home the night before (with Pedro), she passed out right away and..And."Oh God! Why me!?" Marta thought..In her mind she was crying, screaming..But, kept a straight, happy face for the sake of herself, maybe acting happy would make her feel happy..But, Marta highly doubted it..Thinking of what Pedro did to her made her sick to her stomach..She looked down at the cut on her arm..A knife..He had did it..She had been pinned to the ground of her living room floor..Screaming for him not to hurt her.."God! I'm only 14! He is such a fucking pervert! Why does everything happen to me?"...She knew what had happened to her, she was just going to forget it..Like it was huge anyway's..It happens to millions of girls..What would she expect in a house that had every well known drug you could think of?
Arriving at the apartment building of Dewey Finn, the leader of Marta's band "School of Rock"..Marta put on a fake smile and cheerfully walked into the building, up to Dewey's apartment and into it..She was late, like always..Sitting on Dewey's reclining chair, Marta stared at the wall..Thinking, thinking, thinking, THINKING! That's all she does now! She was still staring when Alicia and Tomika, two of the other back-up singers, walked up to her, tapping Marta on her shoulder.
"It's time to start off the practice" Tomika said
"Oh..Ok" Marta said
"You ok, Blondie? You seemed kind of spaced out" Alicia asked
"Yeah, I'm ok" Marta said, getting up from the reclining chair
The back-up singers got to their place and stood waiting for Dewey to tell them what to start playing/singing..When Dewey walked from the bathroom, he was carrying a bottle of Tylenol and scratching his head.."Hang-over" Marta thought, almost smiling, but stopping herself..Dewey stood in his place, grabbing and getting his Guitar nready.
"Ok..Musical fusion time" Dewey said
"Do you have another hang-over?" Katie asked, strumming the strings on her Bass Guitar
"Yeah" Dewey said
"Damn Dewey..You have to quit drinking or something..We don't want in alcoholic in the band..Just chill it down a little" Freddy said
"Shut up and lets start..Play.."Long Way to the Top"" Dewey said
They started the song...The music gave Marta a little happiness..It made her smile..But, not even in the middle of the song, she started thinking of the day before..Her eyes filling with tears, Marta tried to keep on singing, but the tears started flowing freely..Starting to choke on her words, everyone stopped playing their instruments, watching Marta cry and sing at the same time.
"...It's a long way to the top, If you wanna rock 'n' roll" Marta sang, choking on tears
"Marta..Are you ok?" Dewey asked, concerned
"I..I..Oh, god!" Marta said, running out of the apartment, then outside
Dropping against the brick wall of the side of the building, Marta cried harder than she ever had before..Her life was sucking right now..Starting to hit her head against the bricks, Marta screamed in agony..In pain..The pain in her heart was like a knife cutting through her body.
Inside, the band was all sitting, not saying a word..They had seen Marta cry before, but never like that..Zack was the most worried of all..He knew something was really wrong..Sitting down his Guitar, he started walking out of the room.
"Where are you going?" Lawrence asked
"I'm going to go talk to Marta" Zack said
Zack found Marta sitting against the wall, staring at the sky..It was grey out, rain weather...He sat next to her and looked at Marta.
"What's wrong, Marta?" Zack asked, concerned
"Nothing" Marta said
"There's something wrong with you, Blondie..I can tell" Zack said
"Nothing is wrong!" Marta yelled
"I'm sorry..I was just.." Zack said, but stopped standing up and starting to walk away
"Zack! Wait There is something wrong" Marta said
"What?...You can tell me anything..I can keep secrets" Zack said, sitting back down
"My life is a mess right now...I mean my parents just got a divorce..And there are a lot of things I never told you guys like: my parents had a custody battle for me which ended yesterday" Marta said
"Who got you?" Zack asked
"My mom..She's a druggie..She had a boyfriend named Pedro..He is a Mexican-hippie drug dealer...Can I really trust you with something?" Marta asked, her tears starting to come pouring out again
"Anything" Zack said
"Pedro did something to me last night..Something really, really bad..Zack..He raped me" Marta said, choking on her words
Zack stared at Marta, shocked.."Marta? Why Marta? Damn it! I am going to kill that Pedro guy!" Zack thought..Marta started crying hysterically, Zack pulled her over into a hug, Marta started crying into his chest...Zack looked at her crying face: her normally pink cheeks, streaked with black tears, from her eyeliner/mascara...She was still beautiful to him..Perfect in every way..He big beautiful ocean blue eyes sparkled with tears.
"Oh, Marta..You have to tell someone" Zack said, Marta's head shot up, her eyes locking with his
"No..Never" Marta said, wiping her nose
"Tell Dewey..Tell you're parents..Tell the school consoler..Tell someone! Marta this is something you should not keep to yourself" Zack said
"Well, how do you know what it's like to have to tell someone something like this?" Marta said, standing up..Zack didn't say a word "I thought so"
Marta ran off, her long blonde hair trailing behind her..Zack slowly got too his feet and walked into the apartment building..When he got into Dewey's apartment, he was still shocked..The band watched as he fell against the wall, they all ran over to him.
"What was wrong with her?" Katie asked
"Did she lave?" Michelle asked
"You guys..It's bad..Really bad" Zack said
"Dude..What is it? It can't be too bad" Dewey said
"No..Dewey it is..It's the worst possible thing you could think of happening to her" Zack said, Alicia gasped..She knew what he was talking about
"Oh, God..It's not?" Alicia asked, Zack nodded
"Yeah" Zack said
Alicia started crying..She had gotten raped when she was only 12 years old, by her older brother's best friend..She had been very distant and lost, not saying anything to anyone..Then she finally said what happened, she had to see the school consulor, and still was.
"What are you talking about?" Freddy asked
"I know..It happened to me" Alicia said, everyone stared in shock
"You don't mean..?" Tomika asked, but was cut off
"Yeah..Marta was raped" Zack said
A/N: This is going to be a really depressing story..So, I'll update it tomorrow.
