Note – in response to Naomip, I am sorry for the typos, I will be correcting them soon. The switching of POV is for easy of writing, I will try as hard as I can to keep it in Neela's POV though but in some places that isn't possible. The rest of it is mostly explained in this part apart from 1 thing – It has still been a week since the incident.
Sorry it's taken so long for this part but I've had exams.
Part 17
Cold, rough hands move over my body. Hot, slow breath moves over me. Hard, chapped lips touch me where I don't want to be touched. Straw-like hair scratches at me and hard, steely eyes leer.
I sit up my breathing shallow. I look around myself, theres nobody here, only me and my shadow. A soft giggling sound floats in from the living room. A musical sound that seemed, until now, to have disappeared from my life. Slowly I ease myself of the bed and move towards the door, I turn the handle slowly and see on the sofa my two friends drinking wine and laughing. I walk towards them and sit down on an overstuffed chair
"can I join in this party?" my voice is light and I try to sound just as happy as they are. Abby and Sam turn to me; both of them plaster wide smiles on their faces.
"Want a drink Nee?" I gently shake my head. That's what helped to make me so stupid only a week ago, I don't think I'll be touching that stuff again for a long time.
"So what are you talking about?" they look at each other and you can practically hear them sending mental messages to each other trying to decide on something to say.
"You were talking about me weren't you? Well tell me what you were saying; I deserve to know don't I?" the two of them turn back to me, the fake smiles gone from their faces.
"I ... We" Abby stutters, I stare at them hard. Sam takes a deep breath and looks at me "I was wondering if you" she takes another deep breath and turns so she faces away from me "if you took the pill after it" a small tear slips down my cheek as I think back. I hadn't taken it. How could I be so stupid? I know my mind was elsewhere, but I'm a doctor .I should have remembered.
"I, forgot" Sam looks at me and her face softens. She moves towards me and gently hugs me, she smiles and pushes a strand of hair from my face "but you don't need to worry Neela, the chances of him getting you pregnant are slim" but as she says it I look in her eyes and can see a speck of light that she always has when she lies. She knows as well as I do that I have a strong chance of conceiving even if it is by a rapist but like she says what are the chances that it would happen to me?
End note – none of this means that Neela will get pregnant, I'm just opening all avenues that I can go down. Who knows how evil I will be.
