Chapter 4: That night
At Manny's house
Kyle called Manny and told her that he would get her around 9:00. She wanted something really cute and sexy to wear. She decided on a sexy black dress. She almost didn't wear it because she thought that it was a little to revealing. But she was like who cares. Kyle showed up right on time. Manny ran out of the house very quick before her parents could see what she was wearing.
"MAN-NY" Kyle started clapping as she approached the car.
"Simply irresistible."
"You're such a charmer." Manny said.
"Hurry. Go before my parents come out."
When she was completely in the car they did the whole kiss on the cheek thing and he had his hand on her upper thigh the whole time, but she didn't feel the need to say anything. When they got there Manny recognized a lot of the kids but didn't really know any so she was very clingy all night and went everywhere that Kyle went. He didn't mind of course.
Alex saw Manny and they had an awkward hello. But it was nice. Manny noticed that she had 2 missed calls on her cell phone. She asked Jay if there was somewhere quiet so she could go check her messages. He told her that his room upstairs was probably the quietest place. So she went. Kyle saw her go up there, and of course he followed. When he went in the room he closed the door behind him. He didn't even say anything to her he just started kissing her. She didn't mind kissing him. After about 20 seconds of that he started putting his hands up her dress. She pulled away quickly.
"Kyle c'mon, lets go back down stairs" She said kinda nervously.
"Manny it's o.k. You don't have to play those games with me. I know all about you."
"Excuse me? What exactly do you think you know?" She said firmly.
Kyle thought she wasn't serious so he tried to kiss her again. She pushed him away and told him that it was probably a good idea if she went home.
When she went for the door he stopped her and lead her towards the bed. He pulled her to make her sit down. He was kissing her neck and shoulders.
"Kyle c'mon."
"Shhh relax." He said with a lot of frustration. When she got up this time he hit her. She held her head down with her hand over her mouth for what seemed like eternity. When she moved her hand there was some blood on it. Awww. She was crying. By that point they were kind of tussling. He was trying to get her on the bed. She scratched his face. He got really mad about that and punched her, hard. She really couldn't do anything after that. He threw her on the bed and started raping her. He was saying the crudest things. Alex went upstairs to use the bathroom. She was taking a long time and Jay needed her for something so he went up to get her. After he got her they walked down the hallway to get to the stairs. Alex suddenly stopped because she heard Mannys cries and struggles. It was obvious what was happening. She attempted to go in and stop it but Jay told her that what was going on was none of their business and that they needed to just go downstairs. Alex tried again but Jay was like come on.
Back in Jays room
Even though the whole thing lasted only 10-15 minutes, it was the longest 10-15 minutes of Manny's life. "MAN-NY. Simply irresistible." Kyle said. He was standing zipping his pants up and poor Manny was in tears laying sideways on the bed. She couldn't believe what had just happened. Kyle kind of helped her sit up and then said to her "Why don't you go in the bathroom and make yourself look as beautiful as you did when I picked you up. O.k. cutie." While she was still sitting he kissed her on her cheek.
"Go on. I'm assuming that you want to leave now. So the sooner you get ready the sooner you can be gone."
She slowly got up and walked to the bathroom. She closed the door. She was kind of scared to look in the mirror because her face hurt. When she looked her eye was red and puffy and her lip was like cut or split or something. More tears started coming down. She did the best she could as far as her face and hair went. When Kyle knocked on the bathroom door she came out. "Not too bad considering." Kyle said as if nothing had taken place. They left the room and went down the stairs through the party. "You guys leaving?" Jay said.
"Yea. Manny's not feeling too well."
"Too bad. Well see ya."
"See ya."
"Manny, aren't you going to tell Jay goodnight? (pause) Dear."
"Goodnight" Manny said while facing down.
Kyle actually grabbed Manny's hand and walked out holding it. She tried to pull away from him but he held it tight and wouldn't let it go. When they got outside he let her loose.
"Do you want me to take you home or can you get there?"
"Manny, I need an answer."
He got a lot meaner as far as tone of voice goes. "I'll get there" Manny said sadly with her head down.
He tried to kiss her again but she got out of his reach. He looked at her, smiled, and then walked to his car. Manny was alone. She stared walking down the street all lonely and sad. Crying a silent cry that she didn't even know she had within her. MEANWHILE. Craig was a little down himself. Thinking about Manny of course. I guess a few other things as well. He decided to go for a walk. There wasn't many people out at all. He found a nice bench and decided to take a seat. After sitting for about 15 minutes Craig saw Manny walking on the sidewalk. She was walking with one hand on her stomach and the other hanging on her side. Her walk was different. It was like a loose/slutty walk. It was because of the shoes she was wearing. They were like 4 inch platform sandals. He didn't get her attention immediately because she was looking a little strange. From what he could see she looked really nice in her dress, although it was a little to much, even for Manny. He decided to go talk to her. "Hey Manny. It's Craig!" he yelled, excited to see her. He was getting closer and closer. "Go away Craig" she responded in a cracky/cryish voice. That worried Craig so he ran the rest of the way to her. When he got to her she really wouldn't look at him
"Manny, what's wrong" Craig said panting a little.
"Nothing. Leave me alone."
"Manny" Craig said as he grabbed her to make her look at him. Craig couldn't believe what he saw. Manny looked horrible.
"Did Kyle do this to you?" Craig asked angrily. Manny didn't answer she just continued to cry.
"Did heā¦Jesus Manny I told you not to go out with him. He raped you didn't he? Don't you know that a guy like that only wants one thing" Craig said while slightly shaking her. She tried to get away from him but he didn't let go because he really wanted her to listen. Manny's crying was getting worse. With a combo of half talking and half crying, I mean that hard crying when you can't even breathe, Manny managed to get out "What exactly did you want Craig? Huh? Why do you care what happens to me?"
"Manny I love you."
Manny had no response. They were left with the silence of the night and the sounds of Manny's weeping. The death grip Craig had on her arms turned into a hug. Manny felt better and safe with him. "Manny stay with me tonight." Craig said in a nurturing way. He then took her hand and they went to his house together. When they got there Joey was in the kitchen so he told Manny to stay in the living room.
In the kitchen
"Joey, can Manny stay here tonight?"
"No. You know you can't have girls stay the night"
"Joey please. She has had a very rough night and she needs me. Pleaseee." Craig said with his huge Craig eyes very apparent.
"I guess so. But don't make this a habit."
"Thanks."
In Craig's room
Manny just kind of stood there after she put her stuff down. Craig got her a pair of his pajama pants and a t-shirt to change in to. She still stood there remaining very emotional. Craig slowly undressed her (in a none sexual way) and put the clothes he had on her. They laid down in his bed to go to sleep. They didn't say anything to each other. He just held her all night.
"I love you Manny."
2 minutes later.
"I love you to Craig"
He gave her a small innocent kiss on the cheek and after crying for hours she finally fell asleep. Craig watched her sleep for hours. He was so happy she was there but he also felt pain because of what she had to go through and how much pain she was in. He started to think that maybe he could have prevented this from happening some how.
A/N: Sorry chapter 4 is so long but i had a lot 2 pack in there. I agree with the whole being more descriptive thing I just didn't want it to be to long of a story. I would have described chapter 4 better but I had already written but I will be more descriptive in the future chapters. Enjoy.
