Chapter 9

Heart skipped a beat

Kate's POV

O god this wasn't happening I struggled against him to no avail

"Please stop"

He just laughed and harshly threw me to the ground.

My head started to spin, I couldn't focus on anything.

He pushed me down and I felt his weight on top of me tears started to form in my eyes please not like this I thought my first time was going to be taken by a rapist.

I managed to slap him across the face scratching his cheek

"Bitch"

He brought his fist back and punched me I screamed in pain and terror

His hand came over my mouth to muffle my fear I kicked my legs but he separated them, moving his hand up my leg.

I cried as he ripped my underwear off

"This will be good" he hissed just as his hand moved up my leg again the pressure of his body was gone, I sat up and leaned against the wall I saw Richie and Seth, thank god!

Richie was beating the crap out of Adam Seth looked to me and kneeled down he still wore a black shirt and jeans

"Kate?" I lunged and hugged him wrapping my arms around his neck I sobbed.

Seth's POV

I never believed in the saying life stopped, a heart skipped a beat it was bullshit to me.

But I swear both of those things happened as soon as I saw that asshole on top of Kate.

As I held Kate close to me I heard the punches my brother was laying into that asshole and I wanted to join, so fucking badly, but the way Kate was shaking and sobbing into my chest god damn broke my heart and holding her and making sure she was ok was my first priority.

I leaned down and whispered in her ear

"I'm going to pick you up ok?"

Nodding she just tightened her arms around me, and brought my arm down and hooked it around the back of her legs only when I stood up and saw at the edge of the trash I saw underwear. Looking down at Kate she must have felt my body freeze.

I let in a sharp gasp of breath, even tear strained she looked beautiful, looking at me with those big doe eyes

"Did he rape you?"

Shaking her head I let out a sigh of relief, nodding I walked us over to the car

"Richie leave some for me"

I heard a grunt as a reply

Kate's POV

Nestled safely into Seth's arms I began to relax, not completely, but smelling the familiar aftershave and the familiar curves of Seth I began to feel tired

"You still with me princess?"

Nodding I snuggled in deeper he chuckled softly

"Where are your friends?"

"Inside" my voice was groggy and sore, no doubt from screaming Seth managed to open the back door and set me on the back seat I grabbed hold of him "I need to get Richie" kissing my forehead softly he wrapped a blanket around me "I'll be one minute ok?"

"Ok, can you get my friends? I don't want them here"

Nodding he closed the door and ran back to the corner of the building.

Now that I was alone everything started to become real my heart began to beat harder and it felt like the car was shrinking crossing my legs and trying to not think I had nothing underneath I just tried to think of happier things. And then that's when reality hit

I prayed to god to help and he didn't, if I hadn't had called Seth I would have been another rape victim, Seth and Richie would still be at home, my friends would be in the bar dancing away without a care in the world, not thinking to look for me thinking I would be ok.

I still believed in god but I felt my faith waver slightly

I hadn't done a thing wrong in my life, I was a good person, and yet when I prayed and cried and screamed for someone to help me, god didn't help.

I jumped when I heard a loud bang

What was that?

I saw the outline of Seth and Richie walk out from the back building, Seth went inside and Richie ran to the car when he opened the door I gasped as I saw his knuckles

"Richie"

Sitting in the back with me he brought me close to him

"I'm ok Kate"

I held one of his hands in mine; they were so large compared to my tiny hands. I leaned my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, Richie kissed my forehead and stroked my hair with his free hand. I sighed the sensation was heavenly.

Richie's POV

I punched, kicked and punched him again until I heard the breaking of bones

"Stop man, stop"

Was he serious? Did he think I was going to stop?

"Richie" I turned to see my brother "Kate's in the car"

The guy spit out blood and my brother grabbed his shirt and slammed him into the garbage bin

"Think you can get away with shit like that?"

"She wanted it" he hissed

Punching him the gut Seth turned to me "Still have that gun brother?"

Smirking I grabbed hold of the familiar revolver pointing at the dick I fired.

(+)(+)(+)(+)

Holding Kate in my arms I felt her body relax stroking her smooth hair and hearing her soft breaths I felt my own eyes start to drift shut, until it was ruined by Kate so called friends.

Seth sighed tiredly rubbing his eyes I smirked over at him

"Problems?"

Glaring at me he started the car and sped off

(+)(+)(+)(+)

Half an hour later we arrived back home, Kate still sleeping peacefully in my arms

"I don't think we should leave her tonight"

Seth nodded "You got her?"

"Always" I muttered
