Chapter 25

Amanda had just got done working at her new job. Shawn had thought getting a job would be a good experience for Amanda. "Yeah dad, so glad you made me get this job. I freaking love it." Amanda mumbled, rolling her eyes as she unlocked the door. When she pulled out of the parking lot, she noticed another car pulling out at the same time. Not thinking anything of it, she pulled out her cell phone and called Randy.

"Hey honey." Amanda said, when her boyfriend answered.

"Hey yourself. How was work tonight?" Randy asked, a smile coming to his face, when he heard his girlfriends voice.

"Long. People can be so bitchy when there is a sale going on." Amanda replied, laughing slightly thinking about how she and Victoria get.

"Well, I'm sure things will be better tomorrow. We're still going out tomorrow night?" Randy asked, as Amanda looked up in her rearview mirror and noticed that same car was still following her.

"Yeah, I get off work at 4, so you can pick me up around 6. Since my dad is out of town, I'm staying the night at Rae's. So you can just drop me off there." Amanda answered, turning on her street.

"Okay. Are you sure you don't want me to come over tonight?" Randy asked, not liking the idea of his girlfriend being home by herself.

"Randy, I'll be fine. I'm just going to go home, take a nice long bath, and go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow." Amanda answered, not noticing the car park two doors down from her house.

"Alright well, I love you, and I'll see you tomorrow night then." Randy said.

"I love you too. I'll call you tomorrow before I go to work." Amanda replied, before hanging up and getting out of her car.

"Hello Amanda." Came a voice from behind her.

"What the hell do you want French fry?" Amanda questioned, the disdain showing in her voice.

"Why are you being so mean? I just wanted to apologize for almost running you over on the first day of school, that's all." Rene answered smugly.

"Wow. I really appreciate that. Here it is, fuckin' January, and you tried to kill me in August." Amanda replied, walking up to her front door.

"Well, I said I was sorry." Rene's phony French accent said.

"Yeah, well now you can go home." Amanda said, unlocking the door.

"Come on, I just want to be friends." Rene said, grabbing Amanda's arm and turning her around to face him.

"Ow! You fuckhead. Let go of my arm." Amanda said, trying to get her arm free. What she ended up doing caused a chain of events that would change lives forever.

Rae and Dave were in her room after Rena had come by. Rae had her head cradled in her arms, staring up at the ceiling, while Dave lay next to her. He was propped up on his elbow and gently rubbing her stomach. Rae smiled and looked deep into Dave's eyes,

"I really hope you're a part of this baby's life."

Dave leaned down and softly kissed Rae. She smiled when he gently pulled away from her. He caressed her cheek and smiled warmly at her, undying affection and love in his eyes,

"I love you, and I want to be there for you, if I can."

"I love you too, and I want you to be there for the both of us." Rae said, turning her face into his hand, before getting up, and pacing her room. "I just can't believe she shows up again, even after me telling her off. What does she expect from me? She's the one that left. Does she think that giving me this book is going to change how I feel about her?" Rae said, flopping back down on her bed, next to Dave.

"I don't know babe. I mean, it is kinda hard to believe that her maternal instincts are kicking in now." Dave agreed, rubbing Rae's back, trying to calm her down.

"Yeah, well..." Rae was interrupted when her phone started ringing.

"Hello." Rae said, glancing over at Dave, who was still rubbing her back.

"Rae." Amanda's scared voice said.

"What's wrong Amanda?" Rae asked, immediately tensing up.

"Can you...come over? I...gulp need your help." Amanda said, in between tears.

"I'm on my way." Rae said, hanging up the phone and turning to Dave.

"I need to get over to Amanda's. Something's happened to her." Rae said, pulling on her boots and rushing down the stairs.

"Dad!" Rae yelled, as Dave grabbed their coats.

"Rae, what's going on?" Mark asked, walking into the living room.

"I don't know Dad. We need to get over to Amanda's now." Rae said, already running out the door.

"Dave..." Mark said, as he followed the two out to the truck.

"All I know is Rae said Amanda was in trouble." Dave said, climbing in the backseat of the truck

xoxoxoxoxo

"Amanda!" Rae shouted, running into the house that was like a second home to her. "I'm going to check upstairs." Rae said, while Dave and Mark checked the back of the house.

Dave went into the kitchen, and noticed the basement door was open. Deciding to go down there, he was shocked by what he saw. The basement looked as though a tornado had ripped through it, and in the corner was Amanda, curled up in a ball. "Oh my God. Rae, Mark. I found her. Get down here quick!" Dave shouted up the stairs.

"Holy shit." Rae said, when she saw her best friend curled up in a corner.

"Darlin' let's get you to the hospital." Mark said, crouching down in front of Amanda, causing her to try and move further away. "Amanda, it's Mark sweetie. I just want to help you. Rae and Dave are here too, and they want to help you as well. We need to take you to the hospital. You're going to be okay." Mark said, trying to coax her out of the corner.

"I want my Daddy." Amanda said, tears falling down her face, as she let Mark carry her upstairs finally.

"Okay darlin'. I'll call him when we get you to the hospital." Mark replied, as he put her in the backseat of the truck.

"Manda. Did you want me to call Ra..." Rae started to ask, but was quickly cut off by Amanda.

"No. I don't want to see him." Amanda answered.

"Okay, I won't call him." Rae said, glancing up and meeting her father's eyes in the mirror.

xoxoxoxoxoxo

After being at the hospital for 30 minutes, Mark was done talking to the police officers, and was preparing to call one of his good friends and tell him that his baby girl had been hurt. Before he could call however, Dave approached him.

"How's she doing?" Dave asked, concerned for the girl he thought of as a sister.

"She's not really saying much. She did say that it wasn't Randy, but when they asked who it was, she wouldn't say. The police said that this is normal, more often than not; the victims won't say who did it. If she does decide to tell, they have enough evidence to prosecute the bastard. Rae is back there now. You can try to go see her. Just remember not to show a lot of anger. She's pretty beat up, and it's not a pretty picture. I had to tell Rae the same thing." Mark instructed, as Dave nodded his head and went back to Amanda's room. 'Here it goes.' Mark thought, as he dialed Shawn's phone number.

"Hello." Shawn answered, panic evident in his voice.

"Shawn, you need to get back here as soon as you can." Mark said, not wanting to get into too many details on the phone.

"Mark, what happened? I've been trying to get a hold of Amanda all night. The operator said that the phone had been taken off the hook. What in the hell happened to my daughter?" Shawn yelled.

"Shawn, Amanda is in the hospital. Just get your ass back here, she wants you. I'll explain everything when you get here. We're at University Hospital." Mark said, before hanging up.

xoxoxoxoxoxo

"Hey darlin'. I got a hold of your dad, and he'll be here as soon as he can." Mark said, walking into Amanda's hospital room.

"Thanks Mark." Amanda mumbled, turning away from the door.

"Dad, Dave. Why don't you guys go wait in the waiting room for Shawn? Give me and Amanda some time to talk." Rae said, more of an order than anything else.

"Okay, don't force her to talk Rae. Let her open up on her own." Mark said, kissing his daughters forehead.

"Dad, I know what I'm doing." Rae answered, watching her dad and boyfriend leave the room. "Manda." Rae said gently.

"Yeah." Amanda replied, her voice giving away that she was crying.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Rae asked, hoping she didn't just set off a bomb.

"Not really. How can I ever look my dad and Randy in the eyes again? All I'll see there is pity. It's kinda why I don't want Randy to know. Plus, if he found out it was that French fucker, he'd kill..." Amanda stopped, when she realized what she had just said.

"Fuckin' Dupree did this to you!" Rae yelled, storming out of the room.

"Raechel Dawn Calloway, get your ass back in here!" Amanda yelled, well tried to, from her bed.

"What Amanda?" Rae asked, walking back in, after spewing the choice words she had outside in the hall.

"You can't say anything. He said he would kill me if I told anyone. I just want to forget this happened, but I know I can't." Amanda told Rae, tears rolling down her face again.

"Alright. I won't say anything, even though I think you're wrong. What are you going to tell Randy?" Rae asked, sitting down in the chair, by the foot of the bed.

"Rae, I don't know what to say to him. I just want to be left alone right now." Amanda said, turning away from Rae.

"Okay girl. I'll stop back in before I leave." Rae replied, leaving the room.

xoxoxoxoxo

Rae had been sitting in the waiting room with her dad and Dave for close to an hour. Both men noticed Rae being unusually quiet.

"Darlin', what is going on in that mind of yours?" Mark asked, knowing his daughter was plotting something, he just wasn't sure what.

"Dad, how can I get Amanda to want to tell the cops who raped her?" Rae asked Mark, wanting to see Dupree get exactly what he deserves.

"Rae, do you know who did this?" Mark asked, wondering how much Rae knew.

"Yeah, and before you ask, I can't tell you. He threatened to kill her if she told anyone." Rae answered, tears clouding her brown eyes.

"Babe, if you know who did this, you need to tell the cops. This bastard needs to be put in jail." Dave said, as Shawn came running into the waiting room.

"Mark, where is she? Is she okay?" Shawn asked, the panic and worry still in his voice.

"Shawn, I don't know all the details, cause she's not really saying much. She called Rae and told her she needed her help. We got over to your house, and found her curled up on the floor in the basement. I don't know if someone was in your house before she got home." Mark stopped, this part was going to be the hardest to tell. "Shawn, she was raped. I'm so sorry." Mark said, knowing if it were Rae in this position, he wouldn't know what he'd do.

"Do you know who did this? It wasn't Orton was it?" Shawn asked, trying not to cry.

"No Shawn. It wasn't Randy. She's not saying who it was, but she did say that it wasn't him." Mark said, when Rae finally spoke up.

"Shawn, I know who raped her. She said he threatened to kill her if she said anything." Rae said, still struggling with what to do.

"Rae, you need to tell. If we can put his ass behind bars, he won't be able to hurt her or anyone else again." Dave told her, wrapping her in a hug.

"It was Rene Dupree. He's the bastard who fuckin raped my best friend." Rae sighed, hoping she did the right thing.

"Shawn, why don't you go see Amanda, and we'll talk to the police some more." Mark suggested, patting Shawn on the back.

"Yeah, what room is she in?" Shawn asked, wiping the stray tears off his face.

"She's in room 306. Let me warn you man, she's pretty banged up. Those wound will heal though, just be gentle when you see her." Mark answered, as Shawn started to head towards his daughter's room.

xoxoxoxoxoxo

Shawn had kept what Mark said, in the back of his mind, but nothing could prepare him for when he walked in and saw his baby girl laying in that hospital bed. "Princess, I'm here." Shawn said, sitting next to Amanda's bed, and taking her free hand.

"Daddy." Was all Amanda could say, before the tears started falling again.

"Babygirl, I'm so sorry I wasn't here. When I find this bastard he's going to wish he never laid eyes on you." Shawn vowed, hugging his daughter, being careful of her bruises.

"Daddy, I just want to go home. Can you find out when I can leave?" Amanda asked, not wanting to talk about Rene and what he did.

"Okay sweetie. I'll be back as soon as I can." Shawn said, leaning over and kissing her forehead, before leaving the room.

xoxoxoxoxo

Rae and Dave were waiting for Mark to finish talking with the police again, after Rae had told them what Amanda said. Dave noticed Rae was still being quiet.

"Babe, she'll be fine. I've never known Amanda to be knocked down for long. Yes, this is worse than anything she's ever been through, but she'll be okay." Dave tried to reassure his girlfriend, as his cell phone started ringing.

"Who is it?" Rae asked, noticing Dave was hesitant to answer.

A/N 2: I feel bad about leaving this at a cliffhanger, but I had too. The chapter is already 9 pages long. I promise the next chapter will be up much sooner. Is Randy going to find out what happened to his girlfriend? How will the others react? Is Rena gone from Rae's life now? Will John and AJ ever go out on their date? Only time will tell.
