Chapter Three

With a little smirk on his face, Charlie Bolton, Troy's cousin, watches Vivian stagger into the balcony. We got ourselves a little victim.

Charlie runs over to his friends.

"A girl is unconscious in the balcony."

"All right!" says one of Charlie's friends, clapping another guy's hand.

"We'll do it there. So we don't raise any eyebrows." Charlie says with a mischievous smile.

Vivian wakes up with same headache, but it wasn't as worse. She opens her eyes moaning. Then she noticed that she was topless, except for a bra.

"What the..." A hand claps over her mouth.

"Mmrmng!" A boy with brown hair was over her.

"Hey, sexy. If you value your life, you'll shut up!" His voice was husky and his breath smelled of alchohal. She noticed two other guys were there, too. They were also topless.

Warm tears streamed down Vivian's face as the guys tied her arms to poles and gaged her. Somebody please help me...

What is taking her so long? Tom thought as he paced back and forth. It's been over ten minutes! He was really worried. That's it. I'm going in!

The brown-haired guy was starting to undo Vivian's bra while trying to kiss her. She just kept moving her face away, but the guy just grabbed her face. "Fiesty, aren't you?" He grins and pulls her bra off. Oh my god. Please Tom come! I'm being raped! The door flew open. Tom stood at the doorway with a shocked look on his face.

"What the HELL is going on!" The three guys stood up.

"Who are you?" The blond guy asked.

"I'm Tom Kanning. Now let go of Vivian!"

"Make us!" Tom goes up to the guys and punches each of them. The black guy jumps on Tom and tackles him down. Tom just pushes him. He was lucky he was on the football team. That made him tall and strong. I just hope its enough to stop these guys. Vivian looks at Tom with admiration. She quickly grabs her bra and puts it on. Then the shirt. She stands and runs to the door.

"Oh, no you don't. I'm not done with you." The brown haired guy kisses Vivian. She pushes him off.

"Don't you dare touch me." She slaps him as hard as she can. He grabs his face.

"You'll pay for that!" He pushes her down to the floor and jumps on her.

"GET OFF ME!" She shrieks. She kicks and screams. All the people at the party show up at the balcony.

"Somebody get Mrs. and Mr. Bolton!" Gabriella yells. Chad, Zeke and Troy try to stop the fight. They finally separate everyone. Vivian runs to Tom and hugs him tightly. She looks up at him with a twinkle in her eye.

"Thank you so much! I could've died without you!" She was so caught up in the moment, that she kisses him. He returns the kiss.

"My pleasure." He says with a smile.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Mr. Bolton was standing at the doorway with a furious look on his face. Mrs. Bolton was right behind him.

"Charlie, my so called cousin, raped Vivian." Troy explained.

"WHAT? Is this true?" He looks at the brown haired guy. Charlie scowled at Troy, then at Tom and Vivian.

"Yes. It is."

"Well Charlie, I'm REALLY surprised. Troy, call the police and Vivian's parents." He walks over to Vivian. "I'm so sorry for what happened. If there is anything you need, just ask." He smiles.

"It's alright. I'm just thankful I'm ok. All thanks to Tom." She hugs him tighter. "But, thanks for the offer." She smiles back.

Vivian and Tom walk into the living room. They sit on the couch as they wait for her parents. The police already came and took Charlie away. I hope he goes to jail for a long, long time!

"Once again I am so thankful you were there."

"No prob. Just a friend helping a friend." He flashes one of his famous smiles.

"Um, Tom?"

"Ya?"

"Uh...do...you...uh want to go on a date tomorrow night?"

"Ya. I would." He leans closer to kiss her. He is such a great guy.

"Vivian!" Her Mom and Dad were at the doorway. She runs over to hug them.

"Mom! Dad!"

"Are you alright? I was so worried!" She hugs her tighter.

"I'm fine! I had help."

"Who?" The parents looked confused.

"Tom." She turns her head to look at him. "Come here!" She hissed.

"Uh, hi. I'm Tom Kanning." He shakes both parents' hands.

"Hello. I'd like to thank you for saving our daughter. Anything you need, just ask. Your now a member of our family."

"I'm fine, thank you."

"Well, Vivian. Let's head home. I know you are tired." Mr. Tocceli looks at Tom. "I'll drive you home."

"Thanks." The four of them walk out of the house.
