Chapter 8

Zack, the key to Bitsey's freedom

Just the couple of hours that they had been talking, Zack felt that he knew more about Bitsey than he knew about anybody. Bitsey wanted to know stuff about Zack, but he didn't say much, and when he did, they where questions about her.

"Why don't you say something Zack, I feel as if I'm the only one saying anything!" she asked him as she looked into his eyes.

"I say stuff. See I'm saying something right now," he laughed.

"Smart-ass," Bitsey whispered under her breath.

"What was that?" Zack asked, a smile trying to force itself to the surface.

Hestarted to tickle her as he shifted his weight on her.

"ZACK!" she yelled barely able to catch her breath, "Zack!"

He finally stopped, and they both couldn't wipe the smiles off their faced if they tried. Zack couldn't help himself any longer, he kissed her passionately and Bitsey retuned the passion. They both knew this was going to happen eventually, but it was coming all too sudden to Bitsey. The last time this happened to her, oh, she didn't want to think about that, but the memories came rushing back to her. Zack was caressing her curves, but all Bitsey felt were cold, forcing hands. She pulled away, fear shining in her eyes. Zack looked puzzled.

"What's the matter?" he asked worriedly as he sat up.

"Oh I'm sorry," she sobbed, putting her face in her hands and began crying hysterically.

Zack knew that there was something that Bitsey hadn't told him. He knelt down in front of her, gently taking her hands from her face. Her beautiful blue emerald eyes had lost it's twinkle, know all that he say in her eyes was fear. Her eyes were extremely red and puffy and she had black streaked down her cheeks. Tears began to well up in her eyes once again.

"Honey, what's wrong, please tell me," he pleaded as he gently touched her cheek to wipe away the tears.

"Oh Zack, it was horrible," she muttered as she wrapped her arms around him into a tight embrace.

Zack was really worried. What was horrible? What had happened? He cared for her so much, he hated seeing her go through so much pain. He just stood there, gently rubbing her back as she cried in his arms. Bitsey had finally calmed down, and they were sitting on the couch, yet again.

"I'm sorry about that, its just my past came bursting through my brain," she told him, giving him a half smile.

"That's alright," he said reassuring her, "do you wanna talk about it?"

Bitsey knew that she had to tell Zack sooner or later, and she needed to talk about it.

"Well I've been through some tough shit, that's why I haven't dated for a while, well, until you," she started, "I had been dating this guy, Tom, for a couple months. I thought he was a nice guy, but he soon became possessive and violent."

Bitsey's voice began to crack, like she was going to cry again.

"Anyway, he kept pressuring me to have sex with him, but I kept saying no, I wasn't ready. Then one night ---

Bitsey began to cry, and Zack held her close.

"You don't have to continue," he said looking at her.

"No! I need to. I need to tell you," she began again, "Then one night, I guess he got tired of my refusal. He forced me, he raped me Zack."

She buried her face into Zack's chest and sobbed uncontrollably. Now he understood why she was so fearful when he touched her like he did. Zack let a single tear cascade down his cheek; he just couldn't believe the pain that she had been through.
