Danni spun round as the door slammed shut. It was only Russ. She breathed out audibly.

'Heya Hun' Russ said, snaking his arms around her waist.

Dannii said nothing and just smiled, she could trust Russ, she knew it but she didn't want to ruin what they had until…

"Louise said that you needed to tell me something?" Russ asked her, his face full of concern.

"You'd better sit down" Dannii replied her face pale.

"What's up?" he asked her

"Russ, you know when I went to the freshers party and…we had that… row" Dannii said tearfully.

"Hey, I thought we'd gotten over that now" Russ said, that was the one thing he hated about Dannii; it took her ages to get over things.

"I know I'm sorry… but well you know a while ago when you introduced me to Andy?"

"Yeah" Russ said, Dannii was obviously getting somewhere but he couldn't see where it was leading.

"Well… Russ, something happened, He…He raped me" She concluded, sobbing.

Russ immediately cuddled her close, she snuggled against his chest as she sobbed, Russ closed his eyes, how could this have happened? He was meant to look after her and yet he had let something like this happen? He was disappointed in himself. Russ had thought something was up with Dannii, but he didn't ask… no wonder she had been a bit distant lately.

"How did this happen" He asked her gently.


FLASHBACK

Dannii stormed out of Russ's flat. She was dressed up and heading over to the SU bar for the freshers party. Russ didn't want to go, he was still hung over from the lads night out he attended the other night. His brother Sam had introduced them to a lad he knew from the extreme sports club he attended. Dannii had met him while she was working. She thought he was a bit arrogant but an overall a decent bloke.

She ran lightly down the stairs and crossed the road to the bar.

"Hey there she is!" Joe exclaimed when he saw her. Joe and Dannii were best friends; they were closer then brother and sister.

"You finally let Russ out of bed then Dan?" said Joe, laughing at the look Dannii had on her face.

"Ha Ha, you are extremely funny JOSEPH, but the last time I checked YOU didn't have a girl-friend."

Joe replied by smirking at her and turned back to his conversation with Jez. Dannii and Joe shared an odd kind of friendship but were still ectremely close.

Over in the corner, Dannii's other, slightly drunk best friend Zarah was trying to flirt with Sam. Dannii would have gone to rescue him, (Zarah can be very scary when she wants to be) but she still hadn't forgiven Sam after everything he had done to her and Russ's relationship.

"Dan, bad news you're going to have to work" said Darren, the boss of the SU bar.

"WHAT, Darren today's my day off. I am NOT working"

"Please Danielle; it would seem that the freshers have multiplied. Oh come on, I am begging you!"

"Fine, I'll work for a couple of hours ok… AND I get to keep my tips… ALL of my tips"

"You're a star Dan" Darren said, kissing her head.


Behind the bar she was bombarded by drunken students until she was finished working.


"Lousy students" she mumbled, counting her tips.

"Heya, its Dannii isn't it?" Andy said, sidling up to her.

"Hi" Dannii replied.

"Good party" he said before whispering something into her ear. Dannii looked shocked and stood back, shaking her head.

"Oh come on Dan, Its not like you don't want to." Andy said, grabbing her waist.

Darren glanced over in the direction of Dannii when he saw Andy whisper something to her before grabing her waist. He stared for a moment before he made his way over to Dannii, but before he could tell Andy to clear off. Dannii had slapped him.

After a conversation to an extremely worried Darren and Joe, Dannii stood outside the bar, breathing heavily.


"Hey" Andy said to her, he had two drinks in his hands.

"Go away; I told you, I'm not interested."

"Yeah I kinda gathered that." Andy replied. "Look, I'm sorry; you're obviously not that kinda girl ok… Peace offering" He asked, handing her the spiked drink.

Thinking it was a no side effects type of thing she took it.

"Thanks" Dannii said. Taking a sip.


END OF FLASHBACK

"Shhh" Russ whispered into her ear as Dannii sobbed into his neck. "Everything will be allright. I'll make sure of It ok Hun"

Dannii nodded.

After a while, Russ carried Dannii into the bedroom, silently thanking the fact that his parents and younger sister Nicole were out.

Dannii fell asleep instantly. However It took Russ a very long time to get to sleep. He would avenge his girlfriend with every breath he took. He decided, before sleep claimed him
