I want to give you all a warning. This story is dealing with rape..well, what comes after. I won't be going into details (at least I don't plain on it but if I do I will give you a warning) If this bothers you then please don't read any farther. I'm sad to see you go but I rather you leave then read something that will upset you. Still with me?

Oh-I had no beta at this time so any and all mistakes are mine.

Jade's POV

Pulling up to the house I shut my car off and look at Tori, who hasn't said anything the whole ride. At least her teeth have stopped chattering. I grab my phone and quickly send out a text, A few seconds later Beck is standing beside my car under an umbrella. Rolling my window down I ask, "Your parents still aren't home right?"

"Yeah," he leans down, "Tori?" She flinches. Before he can say anything else I open my door, forcing him to take a step back.

"Go start a warm bath." I take the umbrella. "Make sure its not hot!" I slam my door. "Sorry baby," I slid my hand across the hood as I walk over to the other side "Out." I say as I open the door.

She follows me into Beck's parents house without saying anything. I slide my shoes and wet jacket off looking at Tori. She hasn't moved from the doorway. I huff as I bend down and take her sandals off. I hear Beck moving around in the guest bathroom and lead her to it.

"Go make soup." I say as I walk in. He leaves without saying a word. I test the water temperature and I take a breath before moving over to Tori. Slowly I turn her around and unzip the back of her dress then lead her into the tub. After, I grab a bottle from the medicine cabinet and walk out of the room, leaving the door cracked open.

Walking into the kitchen I see Beck standing there holding the soup. I take it from him and walk over to the counter. "Tori said Tylenol makes her fall asleep right?" I ask taking two tablets out and crushing them.

"Jade.."

"Drop it Beck." I cut him off before he could finish as I sprinkle the Tylenol over the soup and stir it up.

Beck follows me back towards the bathroom. I step in and slide her dress out with my foot.

"Time to eat!" I step closer to her.

"Not hungry."

"Did I ask if you were hungry?" I sit on the side of the tub. "Open or I'll force you to open."

Tori looks at me for a moment before opening her mouth. I get half the bowl into her before she falls asleep. I set the bowl down near the sink and pull the plug draining the tub. After its empty I turn the tap on letting the water run. I'm grabbing the soap and washcloth when I hear a knock behind me. Turning I see two sets of clothes being set down right inside the door. Only then do I realize I'm still in my wet clothes and I'm cold. Dropping the cloth I stand up and strip my clothes off. I grab one of the towels hanging on the wall, quickly drying myself off before redressing. Beck reaches in and grabs my pile of wet clothes and leaves as I go back to cleaning Tori and trying to ignore the brushing on her legs.

After I'm done I dry her off and try to dress her. Huffing after she slips out of my grip for the second time I call in Beck to help me. We get her dressed and he picks her up and carries her back to his place. Stopping by the door to grab our shoes I look outside and I'm glad to see it has stopped raining.

"Jade-" He turns to me after setting her on his bed.

"Drop it," I cut him off as I fix her hair.

"Look, are you sure this is the right thing to do?" I grab the light blanket he keeps for me at the end of the bed and cover her.

Turning I glare at my boyfriend and pull him away from the bed. "She said no hospital."

"When do you ever do as your told? She was raped Jade. Raped!"

"You think I don't know that?" I exclaimed. "I'm the one who found her. You didn't see her laying there. I'm the one who washed her, not you! I'm the one who saw every bruise. Washed the blood from her legs." My voice wavers as images start flashing before my eyes.

Opening my eyes, When did I close them? I find myself in Becks lap sitting on the floor. He's gently rocking us back and forth. Sitting up I rub my eyes and when I pull my hands back I find make-up on them.

"Gross."

"No your not." Beck pushes some hair behind my ear.

"I bet I look like a raccoon."

"I like raccoon I think they're pretty." He says as he helps me up. "Go wash up."

"Thought you said I look pretty."

"I said raccoons are pretty." I huff as his teasing. Stopping in the doorway I turn to him. "Tell me you love me."

"I love you."
