A/n: As always I would like to thank my reviewers lilerin91, Sumer1994, dancergrl7231, Mr Mania, Luvs-Mitchel Musso, simplypink, PuppiePatrol91, prisicilla, Valx3, BlueEyedGirl19, PaigeMatthews06, Straussberg, xXBe. My. ObessionXx, Spencer-Sweetie, Taylor15, JennySaysHa, -Lilly-Jackson-, and MangoFlavored x3 of whom are always so supportful, and inspire me to continue this story even when I have horrible writer's block!

Okay, so I planned out the rest of the chapters-Because I while I was writing this one there were so many thoughts going through my head at one time, and I needed to write them all down. There's going to be twenty one chapters in all. Oliver doesn't officially find out about her rape until chapter nineteen. Sorry to disappoint, but I hope you'll tune in to the story until she finally does.

&&:: Chapter Fifteen ::&&

He wouldn't even look at me after he said it, he just rubbed his temples and closed his eyes.

"Oliver, I…" the words were glued to my tongue, why couldn't I just spit them out?

"Good night" he whispered as he turned off the light, and the whole room went dark.

&&&

This morning, I squirm under the heated gaze Oliver's parents were giving me. Their once warm brown eyes now dull with disappointment.

I suppose they have a right to do so, after knowing them for so long; They were just an extension of my family-The mother and father I never had.

Mitchel was the first to break the silence, announcing that he was going to be returning to Chicago, making sure that we knew that he did have a life when we weren't around.

And even though I knew how hard everyone was trying to be comfortable with the situation, I still felt like running away from this house and never coming back.

I gnawed at my lower lip as we followed his parents car, knowing well enough that today he was supposed to meet with our principal to "find a proper punishment for his rash action" which translated to "how are we going to discipline him for punching our token celebrity teen?"

We trail behind his parents, I feel so damn guilty, Oliver helps me in my time of need-For what? To get expelled because he was trying to defend my honor or something like that!

I swear if he gets expelled I'm going to…Do what? You don't have the balls, Lilly. And you know it. Damn inner voice, never shuts up.

Out of habit of the good ole days, I cross my fingers, and give a silent prayer to God.

He stopped in front of the doors of the office, "Lilly, will you please stop looking so guilty, you didn't do anything-Okay?"

I want to scream at the top of my lungs that it is my fault, but instead I nod and watch his back as he disappears inside the office waiting room with his parents.

A million thoughts clash in my head as I enter my first class, feeling so alone, but for some reason…A little more empowered?

I grab Miley's arm and pull her away from her new little clique of friends.

"Lilly, what the hell, I was talkin'" she gave in her annoyed tone, her eyes lingering over to where that bastard usually sits as if she's expecting him to waltz in any second.

Anger runs through my blood, and I finally spit it out, "You remember that note you got yesterday?"

I didn't wait for her to nod, "It was from me."

Her eyes were suddenly on mine, wide in disbelief, and she whispered back, "Why…What…How could you write such a lie?"

"Miley you know I wouldn't lie to you," I replied back softly, and she glared angrily at me.

"Is this because he chose me or you? Are you so jealous about us that you would make up such a ludicrous lie like that? I thought you were my friend!" she whispered back furiously.

"It's not a lie. I am your friend Miley, your best friend, I've known you forever," I snap back and realize I can't shut up, "This summer Jake Ryan raped me. He-"

"Gawd. What's wrong with you? How on Earth did you get so damn demented? Get your hands off me! You damn liar! My best friend, huh? Best friends don't lie about being raped by other friend's boyfriends! Gawd, I can't even stand to look at you!" she yells as I let go of her wrist and she turned heel, walking away.

Numb. I can't feel anything. I can hear their whispers as I dump my body on my chair, and slump into the wood frame. Closing my eyes, forcing myself not to cry. To not let them have the satisfaction of seeing me crying.

The entire bell, I did what I do best. Worry. Biting at my already chapped lips as I thought of all the punishments they could give him, or worse all the things Jake could charge him for, if he decided to press charges.

I sprinted out of the room the second the bell rang, running into Oliver finally leaving the office. He gave me a small smile and shrugged, "Three days suspension. It could have been worse."

I nod, not knowing where my voice went. He gave me a quick hug, before leaving with his parents. Leaving me to watch his back once more.

It isn't until after I buy my lunch, that I realize I'm alone. My only companion's gone-Miley is glaring from across the room whispering back and forth with her new friends, and Oliver suspended.

I drop my chicken salad into the garbage, and walk straight out past the faceless peoples. Making my way into my sanctuary-The girls bathroom.

I sit on the toilet seat, and put my head in my hands and do what I've been waiting all morning to do-Cry.

What's worse is that it's all HIS fault…And it's probably going to get much worse…

A/n: Redux chapter everyone! Sorry I wanted to fix this one before I continued with the story, because it seemed so out of place and rushed. Sorry to make you wait longer-But if you loved me, you'd put up with my procrastination to finish this story.

In other news: I may or may not may have lost the said planned story events of the next chapters, I just have to find it and I'll have chapter sixteen up soon!
