CC hung up the phone. Fran had said it was a good idea. Why was CC scared?
I'm scared he will come after me again. Deepening in thought, CC knew she
had to stop him. She quickly ran to the bathroom opening the medicine
cabinet. She grabbed the fabric scissors and sat on the toilet once more.
She severely mutilated her arm this time. She made about twenty cuts, all
getting close to her wrist. Fran's jeans were stained with blood, so CC
couldn't return them. She quickly put the fabric scissors away and returned
to her living room.
Fran back at the Sheffield residence, was worried about her friend. She
didn't know what to think, or say. She knew CC was filing a law suit, and
she thought it was good. Or do I? She was really worried John would hurt
her again. Fran fought the thoughts and eventually fell asleep on Maxwell
and her's bed.
Niles was upstairs in his bedroom, worrying. His heart raced with anger as
he thought of that poor woman. The next evening CC didn't come to work.
Anyway, Niles was in the kitchen when the monthly issue of The National
Inquirer was delivered. He ran to the door to pick it up. He sat down at
the counter and read the first article. (This had always been one of his
evening habits)
"OH MY GOD!!" he yelled, his eyes bulging. Intensity and anger welled up
inside him at CC. He gripped the paper, his knuckles turning white as he
read it again:
Chastity Claire Babcock: Slut or Producer?
An unknown source by the name of James has revealed all about the elegant blonde in Sheffield-Babcock productions. He says she told him that she was suing her father for sexual assault. She told him in amusement that she made the entire thing up and was after her father's millions her mother denied her. James also says that she staged a "crime site" in her producer, Maxwell Sheffield's, office. Her father has recently been called to be interviewed by the police. He said he indeed went into intercourse with his daughter after she seduced him and gave him drinks. The stories about her childhood are made up, he also claims. CC, he said also said that she had slept with the butler the night of Maxwell's wedding. "He was nothing but a one-night stand" he claims she said, "But he was good. Maybe I'll get him drunk and do it another time." Turn to page 34 for more information.
Niles' face turned bright red. He was going over there to give her something to talk about. It was ten pm and back at CC's apartment she was getting dressed up to go out that night. She wore a black halter dress and her many curls were pinned up. (AN: everything in the National Enquirer was made up, but you already knew that, and apparently Niles didn't, oh and one of the reporters found out about the lawsuit since his friend was the lawyer defending CC) It was storming so CC got her coat and umbrella. As she approached the door, it swung open for her, and there stood and angry, glaring, Niles, soaked from the rain. CC looked at him and said quite confidently and synically, "Hello Niles" He just glared at her. A flash of nervousness appeared over her eyes and Niles liked that. "Wh-what's wrong?" she said shakily. He held "The National Enquirer" open to the page with the article. She grabbed it then threw it on the ground. "THOSE NASTY LITTLE SONS OF A BITCHES!! Niles, I don't know how they found out about the law suit........I never said any of those things..........I don't even remember that night......." She said her voice trailing off. His eyes were dark pools of hatred. He didn't believe her. "You said that you wanted to get me drunk and do it again, here I am not drunk, and ready." CC shook her head desperately. "No" she said exasperated. He grabbed her by the shoulders harshly and looked deep into her eyes. "What do you mean NO?!!" he almost yelled. Tears welled up at the back of CC's eyes. "Niles please........." she begged him, his hands hurt so very badly. "You made up that story about your father to make everyone feel sorry for you. Well it worked. No one likes you, CC Babcock, and no one ever will. Oh, I liked you, but you used me, and I came here. You owe me a debt and you know that. Now come here." He said so very coldly. Niles didn't want to hurt her, but he was in so much rage. He grabbed her and began kissing her neck. CC had loved him so much. Ever since the day she had walked through the door at the Sheffield residence. She had longed for this moment. But she was in a shocked, hurt state and it didn't appeal to her at all. So she fought him. "Let go!" she cried weakly, struggling to push him off of her. She pushed him off of her, but he grabbed her around the waist and twisted her wrists behind her back. CC didn't cry, even though she wanted to, she didn't. His words hurt so very badly. Why would she make up something like this. The National Enquirer was a bullshit magazine that had recently had a story about a three hundred pound baby being born. He whispered things she couldn't understand in her ear. She broke free and ran up the stairs and into her bedroom. She locked the door and Niles began to pound on it fiercely. CC cried silently. She was so angry at him. She had let go that singing telegram on Maxwell and Fran's wedding, the fact that he sent her back to the place, and for all the insults. This she could never forgive. He hurt her. Phsyically and emotionally. She dug a shoe box from under her bed. She grabbed fabric scissors and cut her arms over and over again until she stopped crying. She put the scissors in the shoe box and pushed it back under the bed. The door burst open at that moment. Niles stood there, angry. CC suddenly had two flashbacks. She was twelve, jumping on a trampoline when her father came out. He tied her to a barbed wire fence that cut deeply in her skin and raped her. After that, they went to a hospital since she was hurt, and there he was, in the waiting room as sweet as could be, saying she had 'fallen', Then another time when she was fourteen, sitting on her bed, reading a magazine. He came in, raped her on her very own bed. She couldn't bear it and went weak for a moment, which gave Niles the perfect opportunity to walk over and grab her once more. He shoved her against the wall and held her hands behind her back. CC was angry. "Your stronger then me eh ?" she said In a shaky but confident tone, "what is that going to prove?" He looked her in the eye and spat, "It proves that I'm capable of getting what I wish." CC got scared. He wouldn't rape her would he? (AN: Niles had no intention on doing that, just scaring her, but considering CC's past.....well you know......) She began to think he would. "GET OFF!!" she screamed, feeling very frightened. He slapped her in the face. (Niles would not normally do this, and he was sort of unaware) He held both hands behind her back with one hand, and used the other to stroke her face. His touch was cold and evil, unlike his touch in the living room three years ago when they had shared that mysterious kiss, CC thought. He was hurting her very badly with his hands, with his eyes, with everything he had, and he didn't even know it. She took deep heaving breaths. Then she had many thoughts race through her head: A small child laying in a pool of blood in an empty room, her shivering in the cold shower, barbed wire digging into her back, her head hitting a headboard, a stone lamp being smashed on her ankles, niles tight grip on her hands and cold stroke, a happy little girl skipping into a fateful house, blood dripping on wet feet, a hospital, an upturned bed, a towel, and a stinging slap across her face. Using all her might CC lunged at Niles sending him back and screaming, "NEVER AGAIN!" she tried to get out of the door. Niles grabbed her around the waist and not meaning to, swung her around and sent her flying, hitting the wall hard. CC was mad. Her long blonde hair fell in front of her face and she looked up, a glare in her eyes and she was slightly growling. But feeling a rush of pain, she layed her head back and cried. Niles was trying to move towards her, but when CC looked at him she saw her father. She held her hands above her face and yelled, "NO DADDY! DON'T HURT ME PLEASE DADDY! PLEASE DADDY! DON'T HURT ME!" He grabbed her, she struggled, but eventually she slumped against him. "Ms. Babcock, I'm so sorry, you no I would never hurt you, never" he said but realized the lie in his words, "I am so sorry I hit you and hurt you emotionally and physically. But that article......." His voice trailed off. Wasn't true thought CC angrily and pulled from his grip and motioned towards the door. "IT WAS TRUE WASN'T IT! OH A BITCH LIKE YOU COULD PULL THAT STUPID LITTLE BEGGING OFF COULDN'T YOU?!!" he screamed after her. Tears caught in her throat. She turned toward him, anger burning through out her body. "Then why" she snarled, "would I do this?!" She showed Niles her mutilated arms. He looked at her and said breathlessly, "Ms. Babcock.........I'm sorry.........I had no idea." "No you didn't" she spat back, "you really had no idea. You just believe some bullshit magazine you read every Wednesday night. If you ever touch me again I will beat the living hell out of you. Do you understand? Oh, and why the hell would I make up my father raping me when I was six in an empty room, raping me when I was ten in a shower, raping me when I was twelve on a barbed wired fence, raping me when I was fourteen on my own bed, and raping me now in Maxwell's office??????? DID YOU THINK I WOULD SLICE MY ARMS OPEN JUST TO GET MONEY! I'm not that ridiculous! I loved you! You know that? I let go that stupid singing telegram 'The Place', and all those insults you made at me. YOU WERE GOING TO RAPE ME! YOUR NO DIFFERENT THEN HIM!" she yelled and burst into tears, running out of the bedroom. Niles ran after her. She tripped over a step which sent her flying into the wall. She scrambled up and landed on the couch. Niles grabbed her despite her restraints. "Before you go" he said with pain in every word he spoke, "I need to tell you something." CC finally failed at struggling and listened to what he was going to say. He loosened his grip slightly and began, "I-I would never rape you, I-I am so sorry for accusing you for l-lying. Y-you have every right to be mad at me, b-but why w-would you hurt yourself? P-please promise me one thing. Never do that again." She didn't respond. Niles took her arms. He traced his fingers over every single cut she made, as though healing them. She suddenly wanted to be in his grasp forever. "I forgive you, and I promise" she said weakly. "I love you too" he said as though he was reading her thoughts. He looked into her eyes and traced the line of the red handprint he had left. All of a sudden, lightning struck across the sky, and all the power went out. CC let out a small scream and buried her head in his chest. "Stay" she said, her voice shaky and muffled. "Alright" he said. She looked up at him. Their faces were so close. He kissed her ever so gently, but so passionately. A boom of thunder sounded outside. She put her head back down on his chest, and he held her, and she fell asleep in his arms.
