Chapter 6

"Please, tell us." Derek pleaded. "What did Sam do?"

Casey hated the third degree why couldn't Derek and her mom understand that she didn't want to talk about it, that she just wanted to forget it ever happened. Maybe forgetting about it would make it go away.

"Please, Casey we just want to know honey." Nora asked stroking her daughters head.

"It's just so hard to think about, I don't want to even say it. I just want it to go away."

"I know this is hard sweetie, but we can't help you if you don't tell us." Nora explained, she hated to see Casey hurt. It was one thing all mothers hated was too see their children hurt.

Casey took a deep breath. "Sam, he…he.." Casey tried to choke it out but couldn't. She started sobbing, Derek immediately ran to her and held her.

"Breathe, just breathe." He whispered allowing her to take steady breaths. He let go and she continued.

"Sam and I were going to take are relationship to the next level, and we were going to…but then you called." Casey said looking at Derek.

"So after I called you changed your mind?" Derek was starting to put two and two together

"I thought I was ready, I thought I wanted to make love to him…I realized I wasn't ready, However Sam wasn't having it. So he…" Casey didn't even want to say it.

"Raped you?" Derek said fuming.

"Yeah!" Casey whispered quietly

Nora sat down on Casey's bed. The words were there, but she couldn't believe what was happening. Her daughter just told her she was raped by her boyfriend.

"I'm gonna fucking kill him." Derek ranted

"Derek calm down."

"Calm down, a girl tonight got raped by one of my best friend no less and you want me to calm down." Derek shook his head. "No, I can't…but I know something that will make me feel a hell of lot better."

"And what would that be young man?" Nora asked warily.

"I'm gonna kill the fcking bastard." He said as he stormed out of the house and headed straight to Sam's house.

Sam sat in his room still shocked at what he had done to Casey. How could he have done something like that to her? How could he have let himself get out of control like that? He hated himself. He wanted to sink into the earth and just die.

His father tried to reason with him. "Sam just talk to me, I can help you. We can get through this."

"Dad I just raped my girlfriend I can never get through that, I hurt her. I hurt her in the most unimaginable way possible." He screamed.

His father put a palm to his own head and sighed. He was afraid for his son. He was afraid that Sam had just ruined any shot a decent future. He was afraid that he would close himself up to the outside world. There was only one person who could make it all better and that was Casey, and His father knew she'd probably doesn't want anything to do with Sam right now.

His father closed his eyes and opened them when he heard the front doorbell ring. "Look I'll go and answer that, you just rest I'll get rid of whoever it is."

His father walked downstairs to open the door. When he opened the door, he came face to face with an extremely pissed off Derek.

"Where is he?"

"Derek, I don't think this is a good idea."

"Just tell me where Sam is."

"Why?"

"So I can kill him. I'm gonna make him pay for hurting Casey." Derek screamed as he moved past Sam's old man and stopped at the stairs. "Is he up stairs?" He asked not waiting for an answer.

"I will not let you hurt my son." The man said angrily as Derek walked down the hallway to Sam's room

"Where is he? 'Cause I will search this entire house until I do find him." He screamed as he pushed open the last door, inside the room he found Sam.

Sam shot up off the bed. However, he realized he was still naked, and tried to put on some boxers. However, Derek charged him and pushed back against the wall. Sam laughed a bit. "Derek man, what's going on?"

"What's going on? What is going on? You tell me. Why'd you do it, man…why'd did you hurt Casey?" Derek looked at him with rage in his eyes. Fury and rage in his eyes like a rabid beast ready for the kill. He wanted to kill Sam for hurting Casey.

Sam swallowed. "I didn't mean it. I thought…." He lowered his head and cried. "I thought she wanted it, I never meant to hurt her."

"You never meant to hurt her? How did you think she was going to feel when you raped her? Huh?" He screamed. He tightened his grip around his neck and slammed him harder against the wall.

"Derek…I …" Sam breathing got ragged as he tried to explain to Derek what happened. "I thought she was willing."

"So when she said 'no' you took it as a cue to go ahead and fck her without her consent. So how'd it feel man, how'd it feel to be in control of a helpless girl." Derek asked furiously tightened his grip yet again.

Sam's who was watching on the sidelines had had enough of Derek's abuse of his son. "That is enough Derek, now get your hands off my son." He took Derek by the shirt collar and looked straight into his eyes.

"You have no right coming here and cutting into my son like that."

"When he hurts someone I love…I do." Derek said not realizing he had just said 'love'

"Just go Derek, Just stay away."

"I'll go for now, but I promise you if he ever comes around Casey I will not make any promises I will kill him." Derek said as he left.

Casey walked downstairs to where her Mother and Stepfather were talking. They were talking about pressing charges against Sam. "I'll ask her."

"Casey Darling,we believeyou should call the police and press charges.

"Press Charges?" Casey looked around not knowing what she should do, she then saw Derek come through the front door still fuming at the ears.

"I think that's an excellent idea."

Casey looked at him shocked.
