Chapter 6

Author: Well I am going to take some advice from one of the reviewers and add somethings that arent in the movie into my story and make it more interesting! Thanks for your reviews! It makes me smile:)

That night Brianna decided to sleep with Jack. She just felt so scared and hopeless that she just didnt want to be alone. She was replaying everything that happened in her mind that night. That man was dating mom. It made Brianna laugh a little because she could never see her mom dating at her age. She turned over and looked at Jack who was already asleep. She just stared at him until she went into a deep sleep. A nightmare came that haunted her dreams for the longest time when she was little.

Brianna was 15 and she was walking home from a friends house. It was about 11:30 at night and no one was out. Maybe she should have called one of her brothers to come and get her but she thought she would be ok. Mom was going to kill her for being out so late. Snow was coming down pretty hard making it hard to see where she was going. She knew she was going in the right direction. Just then she heard noises from behind her. She didnt bother to turn around but quickened her pace. She was shaking, not from being cold but the fear that overtook her. All she wanted to do was get home, but that thought ended when someone jumped in front of her. " Hey there beautiful!" he replied. She could smell the alcohol on his breath " What are you doing out so late?"

" I'm just walking home from a friends!" she replied " Please I'm already late"

" Oh..." he said with smile on his face. He stared her up and down which made Brianna shiver

" Please sir...i dont want to cause any trouble. I just want to get home. Its really cold out here!"

" Aww..are you cold?" he asked her. He went to wrap his arms around her but she backed up, right into another guy. They looked like Jacks age. 17 or 18. She felt the greatest fear rise in her " You are very pretty!"

" Thanks" Brianna replied trying to stay calm but they could sense the fear in her voice " Um...can I please leave?"

" Sure..." he said moving out of her way but before she could walk he stepped in front of her again " But after we have a little fun!"

" Fun?" she asked " What kind of fun?"

He laughed " You'll see!"

She just stared at him. She looked past him. Her house was only 1 block away. If she ran as fast she could maybe she could scream and someone would hear her. She looked at the man again. He looked drunk enough to stumble around. She hit him in the face and took off running down the street. " Please help!" she screamed. Within seconds one of the boys was on top of her. She was fighting him. Scratching and slapping at him. He grabbed her hands and pinned her to the ground. " Now that wasnt a good idea was it?" he asked s miling " Your going to pay for that!"

" Please dont hurt me!" she told them starting to cry He looked at her before laughing

" Now be quiet. This will only take a minute!" he whispered in her ear letting his lips touch the tip of it. She cringed. She knew what was about to happen. She just closed her eyes. She felt her shirt be ripped open. She then began to sob " Bobby!" she sobbed " Bobby help me!" she tried to scream but nothing would come out. Her whole body began to shake. All she wanted to do was cry. " Please help me!" she cried. She felt the boys lips all over body. She felt as if she would throw up. He undid his pants before he started undoing hers. She couldnt take this anymore! She started fighting him again. She clawed at his face leaving scratch marks making him bleed. He pinned her down again. He put all his weight on her hips, held her hands above her head and the slapped her twcie across the cheek. She could feel her lip starting to bleed " Listen here bitch! No one is going to hear you. Just lay there and shut the hell up before I kill you!" She began crying again. She couldnt win and how she wanted to be in her house in her warm bed. He had her pants half way down when a car came. The man jumped out which scared the boys and they took off running leaving Brianna to lay there. The man walked over to her and tried to help her up. She started screaming and trying to fight him. He tried to calm her down but she just sobbed and screamed. Finally he got her to stop and tell him where she lived. She pointed at the little yellow house on the corner. " Can I pick you up?" he asked. She just looked at him before shaking her head yes. He took off his jacket and placed it around her shoulders. He picked up and decided to walk to the house knowing that Brianna might not get out of the car. She was shaking harder than ever when they arrived at the house. Before he could knock the door came flying open. Ma was standing there eyes red from crying " OMG! Brianna!" she yelled. Just then Bobby came running out followed by the rest of the boys!

" Who the hell did this?" Bobby asked glaring at the man holding his sister

" Some boys...they had her on the ground when I pulled up. They ran when I got out of my car." the man told him

" Bri?" Jack asked. His face was so pale. He looked like someone just killed his bestfriend. " Is she going to be ok?" he asked. He was so scared to touch her. He reached for her. Brianna opened her eyes and looked at her brother. She just started bawling. He grabbed her tightly and held her so close to him " Your going to be alright!"

" Thank you!" Ma replied. " You are a great man!"

" I hope she will be ok..." he replied

" Thank you!" Ma closed the door and rushed Jack into the living room. Ma took the jacket off of Brianna displaying Briannas half naked body. Anger filled Bobby. He punched the wall leaving a dent. He started pacing the living room.

" Jeremiah go get some blanks and the first aid kit!" Ma told him " Jack go get some hot water and washcloth"

Jack went to get up but Brianna felt her being released. She clenched on him and started panting. She started shaking again and began sobbing " Noo..nooo..!" she told him holding onto his jacket. He just sat there holding onto her. Mom shook her head and got up to go get the washcloth and warm water.

Brianna tossed in her sleep causing Jack to stir. He turned over to see her face streaming with tears. " Brianna are you ok?" he asked but she did respond

Her dream jumped to the day after everything happened to her.

Brianna laid in bed not wanting to get up. She knew that she would have to explain or just look at her brothers. They saw her at her worse and she felt so bad. She knew her mom would be made that she was out late. What would she do? Would she hurt her? She forced herself out of bed. She was limping from where the guys weight was on her last night. Her face felt like someone took at bat to her and her legs were really bruised. She wanted to cry but nothing seemed to be left. She cried all last night. She finally went to sleep around 4 and that was when Bobby laid with her until she went to sleep. He cut her radio on and her nightlight. She was walking down the stairs when she heard talking in the kitchen. She sighed. Everyone was up. She began walking into the kitchen when someone grabbed her shoulders " NO!" she screamed. She began fighting and sobbing again. She hit the ground hard. Bobby was the first to run into the living room to where Angel was standing over Brianna trying to calm her down. " Please dont hurt me! Please!" she begged

" Brianna its ok! It's just me!" Angel tried to tell her. Jack comes running in from downstairs and grabs Brianna. He cradles her in his arms until she finally quit shaking.

" Brianna sweetheart your safe now! Nothing bad is going to happen to you again!" Ma told her

" I'm so sorry mom! Please dont hurt me! I didnt mean for it to happen!" Brianna sobbed

" No no...im not goin gto hurt you. I would never hurt you!"

" I'm sorry...im sorry!" Brianna kept repeating " Please dont hurt me!" she began rocking back and forth in Jacks arms. Bobby stroked the side of her head and she jerked away " No!" she yelled again.

" Please talk to me!" Mom told her. She began crying " Tell me what happened!"

" I was just walking home. I knew I was late and I knew you would be mad. I should have called and im sorry. I'm so sorry!" Brianna told her. Just then Evelyn Mercer knew exactly what was going on " Please dont hurt me! I wont do it again I promise! I promise please! Please dont make me sleep in the basement. I promise ill come straight home!" For the first time Brianna had buckled. She was finally showing what happened when she was a little girl. She always kept it inside but now it was really showing.

" Look at me!" Evelyn told her firmly. Briannas eyes were torn from the wall and she looked at Evelyn " That woman will never hurt you again! Do you hear me! She will never lay a hand on you again. You are with me and I swear on my life that no one will lay a hand on ever!"

Brianna shook her head " but you need to tell us what happened last night Brianna. I know its going to be hard but you need to tell us!"

Brianna starts shaking her head rapidly back and forth...

"Brianna! Brianna!" Jack kept shaking his sister awake. Suddenly Brianna shot straight up screaming

" Dont hurt me!" she screamed

" Bri!" Jack said grabbing her shoulders

" Jack!" she said as tears ran down her cheeks, " I was so scared Jack. So scared!"

" Its ok now! Its ok!" he told her hugging her " You were having a nightmare!"

" It was so bad. I felt like I was there again. Like I was being raped all over again!"

Jacks eyes widened. He remember that night clear as day. " No one will ever touch you like that again! I promise you that!" he told her " Do you hear me?"

She nodded " I believe you!"

He hugged her again before laying her back down. He waited for to go back to sleep. He rolled over on his back and stared at his ceiling. He remembered that whole month that his sister was raped. The night it happened, to the night Bobby came home with blood all over him, to Bobby leaving for good. He couldnt get it off his mind now and he let it wonder away from him. The night Bobby came home ma had gone to the store. She had just left so it would take her a while. She would be trying to feed 6 people. Bobby came stumbling into the house covered in blood. Some his and but most of it was someones elses. Brianna screamed making everyone come and see what was going on. It turned out that Bobby found witnesses to what happened to Brianna. He found out where the boys lived and went to confront them. He shot them over and over and over again. Like it was nothing. Ma came home to find Brianna crying. She asked what was wrong but Brianna lied. She couldnt tell her what Bobby did. That night on the news a report came up on the boys that were shot. We all stared at the tv. The reporter was saying that the boys were wanted for raping 5 girls on the street. Brianna couldnt help but think she could have been the 6th girl. Jack wrapped his arms around her and comforted her. A week passed and everything seemed to get back to normal until one day Bobby packed his things and left without a word. He left a note though...on his bed. Jack was the first one to find it. He said he was leaving. He didnt want to live in Detroit anymore. He needed to "find himself". Thats when everyone started going their separate ways. Jeremiah finally got married, Jack left for New York to persue his music career. He wrote but then the letters stopped. Angel left for the marines. 3 years without a word until now.
