Chapter Nine

Shannon sat in the passenger seat looking out the window as Jeff drove back to the hotel. Thinking about everything that had happened over the last few hours, 'First I got kidnapped, then I raped before having the shit kicked out of me and all within eight hours that's got to be some kind of record.

Jeff on the other hand couldn't think at all. All the emotions and feelings he felt, he couldn't even look at Shannon or he knew he would break, and Shannon didn't need that. For some reason Jeff felt as if everything was his fault.

"Can I ask you something?" Shannon spoke unexpectedly which made Jeff jump.

"Sure." Jeff replied, Looking over he noticed Shannon looking at him with blood-shot eyes.

Shannon took a deep breath before asking the questions he really needed to know. "Jeff what did I do to make Matt hate me? Am I really that fucked up?" Shannon asked with a cracked voice.

Jeff sighed not wanting to answer the questions. He stopped at the light when it turned red, the hotel was on the right, but Jeff turned left.

"Where are we going?" Shannon asks. Still no answer Shannon was getting a little upset that Jeff was not answering him.

After ten minutes of silent driving, they finally come to a stop. Turning off the car Jeff turned in his seat to face the younger man. "Shannon you are not fucked up, listen Matt doesn't hate you, everything that has been going on between you two for the past month has all been a big misunderstanding." Jeff answered.

Confusion was written all over Shannon's face. "Enlighten me please because I'm fuckin clueless!" Shannon said desperately.

"Remember about a month ago when Matt started to get all pissy toward you?" Shannon nods.

"Okay well Matt told me that he found a letter on the kitchen table while you were in the shower." Jeff states looking over at Shannon, who appeared to be in complete shock. "He read it and found more letters and thought that you were cheating on him."

Shannon nodded no longer able to hold back the tears. "I would NEVER cheat on Matt. Why didn't he just ask me about them?" Shannon cried.

Jeff just sat there not knowing the answer to that question. "I don't know, you should have told Matt about the letters in the first place, why didn't you?"

Shannon just shrugged his shoulders, he knew Jeff was right he should have told Matt about the letters, and he tried but it was after Matt started to get moody, and he didn't want it to end up in an argument so he kept it to himself.

"Can I ask you something?" Jeff asks before adding, "Well a few things?" All Shannon did was nod.

"Are you cutting again?" Jeff asks softly.

Shannon just cried harder and nodded his head yes.

"Can I see?" Shannon just sat there not moving for a moment, but agreed and pulled up the sleeves which did not take much effort considering the hoodie he was wearing was three times too big. This made Jeff wonder.

Scooting closer to Shannon Jeff reaches over and lightly grabs Shannon's left hand turning it over to reveal a very bad cut that was deep and still bleeding. Jeff lets go of Shannon's arm and reaches for his bag in the backseat, which had the first aid kit in it

After getting Shannon's wrist wrapped up, and Shannon gaining some composure, Jeff proceeds to ask another question.

"Shannon who did this to you?" Jeff asks gesturing to Shannon's beaten body. Shannon knew that question was coming taking a deep breath he answers.

"Kevin." Jeff had a feeling that it was Kevin but he didn't think that Kevin would have the balls to it again.

"Did…..he…he…rape…you?" Jeff found this question harder than he expected because he really didn't want to know. Shannon stayed silent which gave Jeff his answer. He then started to wipe his eyes quickly so that Shannon would not see the tears escaping. Once again, they were in complete silence and for the first time Shannon heard something like water hitting rocks.

"Jeff where are we?" Shannon asks wondering if Jeff even knew where they were.

"I'll show you," Jeff said with a small smile, getting out of the car Jeff walks around to the passenger side where Shannon was seated, opening the door Jeff helps Shannon out of the car. When both are standing up straight, Jeff and Shannon slowly made their way toward the small little trail. A few moments later Shannon and Jeff arrived to their destination, Shannon's thoughts confirmed. He was standing on the ledge of a small cliff, looking at the most peaceful lake he had ever seen, with a lighthouse just close enough to give the water the perfect lighting, and the wind blowing just hard enough to give it that ocean sound with the water hitting the rocks.

"Here sit down," Jeff says moving over to the bench on the other side of the cliff. After sitting Shannon down, he ran back to the car to get the first aid kit and his bag. ''it's time to tell someone and if you tell Shannon, It might make him feel better to know that someone knows what he's going through.' Jeff tells himself as he makes his way back over to Shannon.

"How did you find this place?" Shannon asks as Jeff is was going through his bag trying to find a wife beater for Shannon, cause the hoodie that he is wearing is covered in blood.

"Uhm... My mom brought me here when I was eight; my Uncle Rick got sick and was dying. Matt and dad were on a camping trip, and mom couldn't find a babysitter so she brought me along. Right before we headed back she brought me here, she said that this is a place that can take all your problems and not make them seam as bad as they are, and she was right I mean I've only been here a few times but coming here just helps."

"Shannon I know what you went through." Jeff paused to wipe the tears that were slowly escaping.

"What do you mean you know what I went through? You've never had to go through what I did tonight so don't tell me that you know what I'm going through!" Shannon yelled in anger.

"Yes Shannon I have gone through what you did I know what it's like to raped and beaten and feel like no one cares" Jeff exclaims.

"When did it happen?" Shannon spat not in anger but sadness, wishing Jeff was lying.

"I was 15," Jeff answered again trying to wipe the tears away, but they just kept coming. Both silent for a few moments before Jeff get up and stands in front of Shannon.

"Take it off."

"Take what off?" Shannon replied nervously.

"The hoodie," Shannon looked frightened he knew Jeff wanted to help and he did trust Jeff more than some doctor.

Shannon tried to pull the hoodie over his head but could not that is when Jeff stepped in and helped to get it off with out hurting Shannon. Jeff Knew that Shannon was going to be very beat up but he didn't expect what he was about to see. One look at Shannon's rib cage and he knew that they were broken just by looking at how they stuck out underneath his skin, Shannon also had tons of cuts that were in random places some messing up the design of his tattoos. Jeff tried hard not to empty the contents in is stomach by the scenery.

Sitting back down Jeff got out some wipes, bandages, Neosporin, and some hydrogen peroxide. Wiping away some of the blood from his shoulder Jeff took the hydrogen peroxide and poured out a little on a hand towel.

"This is going to sting," Jeff warned Shannon as he places the towel on one of many cuts on his shoulder. Shannon hisses out in pain as the peroxide hits the cut. Wiping the cut again, Jeff then put on some Neosporin, and places a bandage on the medicated wound, before tending to the next cut.

"Did you tell anyone?" Shannon asks in a whisper.

"No" Jeff answers.

"Why?"

"Because I was scared,"

"Scared of what."

"Scared of what people would have thought of me if they knew I couldn't tell my dad because I was to ashamed and I couldn't tell Matt cause he would have blamed himself for not looking out for me." Jeff explains moving on to yet another cut, but not before his phone starts it ring. Looking at the caller ID Jeff answers his phone.

"Hello?" Jeff sighed Matt was really getting on his last nerve.

"Is Shannon okay?"

"Yes Matt he's fine"

"Where are you guys?"

"Just out, look Matt Shannon is fine just go to bed and I will talk to you tomorrow okay?"

"Fine," And with that Matt hung up.

"What did he say?" Shannon asks curiously.

"Just seein' how you were doing" Jeff smiles.

The next half hour, Jeff cleaned and medicated Shannon's wounds and taped up his ribs. After Jeff was done, they just sat there not talking just looking at the lake and enjoying the silents. Looking over at Shannon Jeff noticed him drifting off to sleep. He picks up his bag and puts them in the car before going back and carrying Shannon back to the car, once get him in, and situated Jeff gets in the drivers seat, and head back to the hotel.

So Jeff was raped too! Tell me if you want to know what happened to Jeff! So review review!
