You Can't Hurt Me

A/N: This is my first Summerland fic so please read!

Chapter One: Beginnings

The girl tried to scream, but nothing came out. Even if she had made a sound, no one would have heard her. She was muffled by the gag he had stuffed in her mouth, roughly tying it behind her head.

She was in a dark cove, pressed beneath him. Her clothes had been ripped off and she was lying naked in the sand, his naked body on top of hers. The girl didn't know who he was, only that he was drunk from the alcohol she could smell on his breath.

She felt him inside her as he moved up and down in a rhythmic motion. The pain was almost unbearable, but there was nothing she could do. She was only thirteen, and small for her age, while he looked to be about eighteen.

Luckily, she knew she couldn't get pregnant. She matured slower than most of the other girls her age, and had not yet gotten her period.

What seemed like hours later he rolled off of her, exhausted. Standing up, he kicked her. Once again, she tried to scream, but nothing came out. For a few minutes he continued to beat her, punching, kicking and slapping her, but there was nothing she could do. She was gagged and her hands and feet were tied up.

Finally he picked up his clothes and dressed himself. Giving her a smirk, he untied the ropes on her hands and hurried out of the cave. The blond girl quickly untied her feet and removed the gag. She gathered her clothes and ran out of the cave, heading for home.

Sara woke up from her nightmare, panting and sweating. She was remembering that night, three years ago, when she had been raped. She had never told anyone, not her friends or even her parents.

She had been thirteen at the time, and now she was sixteen. She had never slept with a guy after that night, nor had she met one worth sleeping with.

Sara pulled the blankets that she had kicked off during the course of her nightmare back over her and closed her eyes, willing herself to fall asleep.

Nikki lay in her bed. She was too tired to get up, but Aunt Ava was calling her, so she crawled out of bed.

"Be right there," she yelled downstairs.

Hurriedly she changed and ran downstairs. "Smells good. What's for breakfast?" she asked.

"I made pancakes. How does that sound?" Susannah asked.

"Great. I love pancakes," Nikki replied.

She seated herself at the table with Bradin, Derek, Jay, Ava, Johnny and Susannah.

"Morning Nik," Ava said.

"Morning," she replied.

"So, I was looking through some catalogues to find you guys something to do during the rest of the summer, and I found a camp you might want to go to Nikki," Ava said.

"It's just a day camp, and it's nearby. You'll be able to make some friends before you start school."

"Sounds like fun. You can sign me up."

"Hey Bradin, I was wondering if you might want to help out at the shop. Maybe you could even learn to surf," Jay suggested.

"Maybe. I'll think about it," Bradin said.

"Why don't you come down to the shop with me today?" he suggested.

"Sure."

"What about you Derek? Do you want to go to camp with Nikki or learn to surf with Bradin? Or you could do something else," Ava asked.

"I'm not sure."

"Well you can think about it and tell us later. Maybe you and I can go down to the beach today," Susannah suggested.

"Okay," he said.

A few hours later, Jay and Bradin headed off to the surf shop and Susannah, Ava and Johnny took Nikki and Derek to the beach.
