Hey! Here's chapter 8! Hope you like it. (EDIT: I tried to fix all the mistakes I made. If you find more that are just awful and hard to skim over, just tell me and I'll go fix them. I'm OCD about typos so I want to make sure they are all fixed!)

The rest of the day at school was a blur. Trent left school because he "felt sick" so that gave Gwen and Duncan the chance to hang out with each other without the fear of being caught by Trent. Every class seems to go by much faster since Gwen was with Duncan. I guess it was because she had never really had fun talking to Trent like she did Duncan. 3 o'clock finally came. Duncan walked Gwen to her car.

"Today was actually pretty enjoyable for once" said Gwen.

"It was for me too. You're so fun to hang out with" said Duncan.

Duncan opened Gwen's car door and waited for her to get in.

"Can I have one more kiss before I go?" asked Gwen.

Duncan laughed his irresistible laugh and leaned in and gave Gwen a kiss. Satisfied, Gwen bent down and got in the drivers seat of her car.

"Call me later, kay" said Duncan.

"I will. I promise" said Gwen.

Gwen backed out of her parking spot and drove out of the school lot. She barely remembered the drive home. Her thoughts were filled with Duncan and their relationship. Was it possible that they were soon going to become more than friends? Then her thoughts shifted to Trent. The threat he made rattled her. When she got home, the first thing she was going to do was lock all the doors and window, aside form the one that Duncan snuck through just in case.

Gwen pulled up in her driveway and put her car in park. When she got inside she did just as she promised herself and locked all of the doors and windows.

It was 11 o'clock at night. Gwen sat at the desk in her room. Usually when she was restless, reading a little would help. She was reading her favorite mystery novel by Erica Spindler. She was just about to be at the part where the lead character finds out who the killer was when she heard a tapping sound coming from the window. A smile slid across Gwen's face. Duncan had did just as she thought he would. Gwen pretended she didn't hear the tapping, just to make Duncan wait a little bit longer. Then the tapping came again. Louder.

"Duncan, you must really want to see me" said Gwen.

Gwen walked over to the window and opened it. She was shocked by who walked in. Not Duncan.

Trent.

"What are you doing here?" asked Gwen.

"I came to give you an opportunity to apologize" said Trent.

"I'll pass. You can leave now" said Gwen.

"Now why would I leave my own girlfriend?" said Trent.

"I'm not your girlfriend anymore" said Gwen.

"Says who?"

"Me."

Gwen walked towards the window and opened it wider.

"Now if you don't mind. I'd like you to leave" said Gwen.

"I'm not gonna until I get what I want" said Trent.

"And what, pray tell, is that?" asked Gwen.

"You" said Trent.

He reached out and attempted to cup one of her breasts. Gwen slapped his hand out of the way.

"You can't have me any more" said Gwen.

"I'm not asking your permission, babe" said Trent.

"Get out" Gwen.

Gwen was becoming angry, Trent could tell. He loved it. He was going to get what he wanted, whether he had to take it or not.

Trent grabbed Gwen's arms and pulled her close to him. Gwen fought to free her arms. Before she knew it, Trent had pushed her on her bed. He pulled some rope and a bandana out of his pants pocket. He tied both of Gwen's arms to her bed and put the bandana in her mouth so she couldn't scream. Gwen fought the entire time, making it very difficult. She was screaming and crying and begging for him to let her go. Her efforts were in vane. The bandana made if hard for her to breathe. Much less talk.

"You could have avoided this, you know. All you had to do was stay faithful to me. But no. You had to be an unfaithful cunt! Well, here's your punishment. Where's your Duncan now?" asked Trent.

Gwen was crying now. She knew Duncan was probably asleep by now and was not about to come to her aid. She feared she would never be able to see him again. She would never be able to tell him that she loved him.

Trent started pulling off her pajama bottoms. Gwen started to regret the fact that she didn't wear panties under her pajamas. It wouldn't have made a difference, but it might have given her a few more seconds to prepare her for what was about to happen. Trent began working at the button of his pants. Then the zipper. Then, Gwen's mind went blank. Trent wasn't even trying to be gentle. Each thrust hurt Gwen to the point of tears. At that moment, Trent took everything away from Gwen. Her strength, her pride, her virginity. Gwen felt lost. She knew that this meant that they were bonded together forever now. She wanted Duncan to be her first and get that bond. Now, no matter how hard she tried, Trent was always going to be a part of her.

Finally, Trent was finished. He collapsed on her. Only when he completely caught his breath, did he attempt to get off of her. Trent untied and ungagged her. He helped her get dressed, then cupped her face in his hands.

"That was amazing, Gwen. Thank you" said Duncan.

Gwen didn't looked at him. She refused to meet his eyes. Trent bent down and kissed her lips then walked away and left through Gwen's window. Gwen didn't move. She just sat on her bed, staring at the floor. Then she looked at her cell phone.

Duncan's phone woke him from a dead sleep. Duncan was a little cranky when we woke up. He reached for the phone and answered it. Not even looking to see who was calling.

"Do you have any ide-" Duncan was interrupted by a cry.

"Duncan, it's me" Gwen's voice was low and shaky.

"Gwen? Baby, what wrong?" asked Duncan.

"It's Trent, Duncan" said Gwen.

"What did he do?" asked Duncan.

Gwen bit back the words. Did she really want to tell Duncan? Did she really want Duncan to get so furious and go to get back at Trent? She had to tell him. He deserved to know.

"He rapped me" Gwen said.

Duncan sat up in his bed. Instant fury rose throughout his body. Trent had raped his Gwen. That son of a bitch. His hands automatically balled up into fists. His best friend was just violated. He had to do something.

"I'm coming over. I'll be there in a second" said Duncan.

Just like he said, Duncan was in Gwen's room holding her before Gwen knew it. He held her and she cried on his shoulder. He was examining her body to make sure she was okay. The only thing he could see was the two marks on her arms from where Trent had grabbed her. He was still shaking with anger. He tried to calm himself down so he could comfort Gwen, but it wasn't working out. He wanted to kill Trent for what he did. Tomorrow, Trent was going to pay. But right now, it was all about Gwen. He needed to make her feel better.

"You okay?" asked Duncan.

Gwen looked up at Duncan. Her eyes were red and puffy. She shook her head and looked down.

"I'm so sorry, Duncan. So, so, sorry" said Gwen.

"This isn't your fault, Gwen. What are you sorry for?" asked Duncan.

"I should have done everything I could to stop him" said Gwen.

Duncan brought Gwen in his arms. He gently stroked her hair.

"It's going to be alright, Gwenny. I promise. I'm going to take care of Trent, and then you'll be able to move on" said Duncan.

"With you?" asked Gwen.

"That's up to you" said Duncan.

"I feel so safe with you" said Gwen.

Duncan lifted Gwen's face up and gently kissed her lips. Gwen broke off and look up lovingly in his eyes.

"Make love to me, Duncan" said Gwen "please."

Duncan was shocked. Any other day he would have jumped at the opportunity to mess around with Gwen, but today? After she had be raped?

"Are you serious?" asked Duncan.

Gwen nodded.

"Right now, me and Trent are bonded forever. But I want to become one with you. Not him. I want you" said Gwen.

Duncan stared in Gwen's eyes. God, he wanted to so bad! But was it right?

"After what happened today, after Trent raped you, are you sure your not hurt? Are you sure you want this?" asked Duncan.

"I want you more than anything, Duncan. I love you" said Gwen.

Those words took Duncan's breath. Did she mean love as in the love they had shared all their life, or did she love him more than a friend should love another friend? Did she love him like he loved her?

At Duncan's silence, Gwen became emotional. Her tears started falling again.

"But, of course, I'm not saying you have to love me back. In fact, it's perfectly fine if you don't. And I'll understand if you're now uncomfortable around me and never want to see me again." said Gwen.

Before Gwen could continue, Duncan put his finger on her lips. A smile spread across Duncan's face.

"All of my life, I have been waiting for you to say those words. I love you too, Gwen. More than anything. And I'll do anything you want me to.

Gwen smiled and Duncan pressed his lips to hers. Their make out session was intense. Pretty soon their clothes were starting to come off. Duncan had pulled Gwen underneath him and continued kissing her. He caressed every part of her body. Duncan made Gwen feel so beautiful. That something Trent never made her feel. When they started to make love, Gwen felt something she had never felt before. It was love. Every time she was with Trent, he either made her feel completely stupid, or he made her feel small and insignificant. Duncan made her feel alive. As if she was born for the first time that night.

Gwen reached her peak multiple times that night. When Duncan finally reached his, he collapsed on top of her. He continued to kiss her in between breathes. When he finally got the strength, Duncan rolled onto his back beside Gwen. Gwen rolled over and laid her head on Duncan's chest. Gwen could hear Duncan's heart racing. So was hers.

Soon, Gwen was overwhelmed with exhaustion. After all, she didn't get any sleep at all the night before. Gwen let out a big yawn. One that did not go unnoticed by Duncan.

"Look, like it's bed time. Go ahead and go to sleep, baby" said Duncan.

"Promise me you'll still be here when I wake up" said Gwen.

"I promise, Gwenny. I love you" said Duncan.

"I love you too, Marilyn Manson" said Gwen.

Duncan let out a laugh.

"That was a little below the belt" said Duncan.

"I know. It was funny though" said Gwen.

"Whatever. Your lucky your so cute or I wouldn't put up with you."

Gwen laughed one last laugh then closed her eyes. Pretty soon she was asleep and dreaming about Duncan.

Like I promised, here's chapter 8. And it hasn't even been 3 hours since I posted chapter 7 :/

This is, so far, my favorite chapter. I hope you liked it as much as I did. ^-^ Now good night. I'm going to bed.
