It was Saturday evening and Kim and I sat in my bedroom doing last minute primping. There were dresses strewn across the room. I had a ton of extra dresses from society parties and things that I was forced to go to in Chicago. My mother had liked to parade me around-- which of course I hated. Of course I had way too many dresses and all of them were expensive too.
I forced Kim to borrow one of my dresses. We were about the same size-- I was a tiny bit taller than her. She stood taking in her reflection in the mirror. I had pushed her out of her comfort zone and into a short dress. The blue stood out stunningly against her copper skin and her raven hair just added to her exotic look.
"Jared is going to drop dead when he sees you in that," I told her pinning the last of my hair in place.
Kim pulled down on the dress-- trying to make it longer I'm sure. "Um. It's a little short, don't you think?"
I snorted. "Nope. You have great legs. Flaunt them sister." I playfully shoved her out of the way so that I could look at my own reflection. I was nowhere as gorgeous looking as Kim, but I wasn't hideous either. My smile lit up the room. My smoky gray dress showed of my curves and hugged every part of my body. I'd pulled my hair up into a sleek pony-tail so that it would stay out of my face.
"Damn," I told Kim as we stood side by side in the mirror, "we look h-o-double-t, hott."
She giggled at that announcement suddenly looking more sure of herself in the dress. I was completely positive that the guys were going to drop dead at the sight of us.
The doorbell rang downstairs and I heard Mrs. Costa calling up to us to get our butts downstairs. I went down first-- I wanted to see Jared's face when he saw Kim.
Jacob looked stunning in his dress shirt and slacks. His face split into a wide grin and he let out a whistle at the sight of me. Blushing furiously I went to stand by him and said to Jared, "You just wait till you see Kim!"
Slowly but surely Kim came down the stairs looking more like a supermodel than anyone had a right to. I looked at Jared's face. It was practically glowing and I could see him radiating pure love. Kim was the same.
She came to the bottom of the stairs and stood in front of Jared smiling nervously. Jared had a stunned look on his face-- like he couldn't believe he'd actually imprinted on such a beautiful creature. It was true Kim wore jeans and sweat-shirts all the time, but she cleaned up especially nice.
"Um. What do you think?" She asked him awkwardly. Mrs. Costa bustled around us taking pictures and cooing.
"You look. . .beautiful--no, stunning," was Jared's reply. I leaned against Jacob and let out a low "awwwww." Jacob chuckled at that.
The school dance was of course held in the school gym. There were balloons and dangling paper stars decorating it. Luckily, La Push High was able to at least get a DJ for the dance. As soon as we walked in I pulled Jacob onto the dance floor. It was a dance-- we were going to dance.
I lost sight of Kim and Jared, but I didn't care. I was dancing with Jacob. It was just me, him, and a dance floor to quote Chris Brown. Jacob looked like he was actually enjoying himself, but soon he looked like he needed a rest. I sent him off in the general direction of some tables and seats and continued to dance by myself.
"You look gorgeous," Leighton said walking up to me. In his hands he held two cans of Red Bull. I smiled at him and he smiled back at me. "Want something to drink?" He offered me one of the cans.
"I've never had Red Bull before," I told him and I thought I saw something flash in his eyes, "is it good?"
"A little strange tasting, but good all the same," he laid a hand on my arm and leaned in close to me so that he didn't have to shout over the music. "Try one! Mine is already open, here, if you don't like it give it back to me and I'll drink the rest of it."
I took his can of Red Bull and took a sip. A bubbling, sweet yet bitter taste assaulted my mouth. Wow, it did taste weird. I took another drink and decided I liked it. I downed the whole thing within seconds. Leighton's face had the strangest expression on it as he watched me drink it. It was like he was waiting for something to happen.
Leighton took the empty can from me and yelled something about throwing it away. I watched him leave and noticed that the flashing lights from the DJ's booth cast shadows around on the pulsating bodies. The lights made pretty patterns and my head started to spin. I looked around for Jacob but I couldn't find him anywhere. I needed to get out of the spinning mass of bodies.
Staggering out into the dark hall I leaned against the wall. My legs felt wobbly and weak, like I was sick. Suddenly, Leighton was there by my side.
"Are you okay Allie?" His voice sounded amused for some reason. I giggled at him.
"Um. Yeah, I think I should. . .go lie down. . .d'you know where?" I broke off because Leighton was taking me through the dark halls, past the gym and away from all the people.
"I'll take you somewhere okay?" He said and smiled at me. Leighton had a nice smile. I should find him a good boyfriend.
I giggled dizzily. "Leeeiiighton. I need to find you a man. . ." I trailed off laughing still as I stumbled into him.
He stopped and raised his eyebrows. We were on the other side of the school now, just outside the choir classes storage room.
"A man?"
I nodded and held onto him for balance. I smiled into his face. "Yep. A niiiiiice man. You guys would be cuuute together."
Leighton's face held a trace of irony. He opened the door to the storage room and shoved me inside. Then he turned around and locked the door. This storage room was large and dark. Leighton moved and pulled at something. A single bare bulb illuminated the room. There were shelves against the walls-- all stacked with things. The room was much larger than I thought; the light bulb barely lit up anything at all.
"I think," he said advancing towards me with a sneer on his face, "that you have the wrong idea about me."
He backed me up so that he was flush against me. I was trapped against a concrete wall and Leighton. I stumbled a little and giggled at my clumsiness.
"Wrong idea?" I asked confused.
Leighton looked at me with an evil glint in his eyes. Before I knew what was happening pinned me against the wall and his lips where on mine, his hands roaming my body. I tried to push him away but he was too strong for me.
"Stooop iiit."
Leighton just laughed. I didn't like him kissing me, but I felt like I had no control over my legs or body. I sank to the ground and shook my head-- everything was so fuzzy.
I was pulled onto the ground and my hands where duct taped to the concrete floor so fast that even if my brain had been working at normal speed I wouldn't have been able to prevent it. Leighton crouched over me, smirking. I tried to move my hands from where they were taped, but they wouldn't budge.
Now I began to be freaked out. Leighton still straddled me as he yanked off his shirt. He bent over me with a malicious smile on his face. I started to flail frantically, this made Leighton even more amused.
Screaming was probably my best bet now. "HEEEELLLLPPP!!" I shrieked. I kept screaming and trying to move but it was as if my body was held down by lead. Leighton slapped another piece of duct tape over my mouth and my screams became muffled.
Still smiling sardonically, Leighton brought a knife to my neck. I froze. Was he going to kill me? But no, he just sliced the straps of my dress off. Then he slowly brought it down the length of my chest, leaving a pink mark where the blade touched my skin. Then with wild eyes he pulled apart my dress exposing my bra.
I jerked more frantically now that I knew what he was going to do to me. Tears started streaming down my face and I attempted to kick him. Leighton didn't like that. He took the knife to my chest and made a clean cut. It was thin and only stung but immediately blood dripped out of the wound towards my breast.
Leighton smiled wickedly at me. "Oh no. There seems to be a bit of a mess. I guess I'll have to clean it up."
Before I knew what was happening he bent his head to my chest and licked up the droplet of blood from my breast. I screamed through the tape that covered my mouth tried to move away from him but his hands pushed on my shoulders-- trapping me.
When he was finished he slid his hand up my leg towards my inner thigh. Reaching under my dress he felt for my underwear and smiled widely when he found his prize. I was sobbing now. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. Where was Jacob? Oh God, please, please save me.
Leighton slowly slid my black underwear down off me so that it was to my knees. Then he unbuckled his belt and deliberately slowly pulled off his own pants and boxers. He crouched on top of me completely naked and I turned my head away from him. He laughed as he lifted my dress up-- I was going to be raped. I sobbed even harder and when I tried to move away Leighton slapped me.
He leaned down and whispered maliciously into my ear. "Looks like I've beat Jacob this time. I'm going to take your virginity." He cackled after that.
I screamed even louder but I knew it was useless, no one could hear my muffled cries. Jacob save me! I mentally screamed.
All of the sudden the storage room door flew inward and landed with a crash on the ground. Jacob stood illuminated in the light. His eyes widened when he saw us. And then I saw the pure fury in his eyes. He started to shake violently-- if he continued like this he would phase.
"Get. Away. From. Her." his words came out in an animal like snarl. When Leighton didn't respond Jacob moved too fast across the room and his fist shot out and connected with Leighton's arm knocking him across the room and off me. Leighton's arm broke with a sickening crunch. Jacob glared at Leighton who now laid unconscious on the concrete.
Jacob moved swiftly over to me where he ripped the duct tape from my wrists and mouth. I was still crying as he pulled me into a hug. He held me like that for a few minutes. Still crying I tried to make myself a little more presentable. I pulled my underwear back up and tried to use my ruined dress to cover up my bra and chest. Looking down at me in my fragile state Jacob swept me up in his arms and carried me from the room.
I buried my head in Jacob's neck as he walked swiftly back towards the gym. He was still shaking and I could feel his resolve to not phase.
"Mr. Black! Miss Dosch! We do not condone things like this at school functions--" Mr. Gill was cut off by Jacob's irate answer.
"I'm sorry that my girlfriend was just almost raped and that I wanted to take her home," he spat bitterly.
Mr. Gill blanched. "What?"
"Check the storage room by the choir room. You'll find the bastard in there. And we will be pressing charges."
And with that we left. Jacob carried me all the way to his car. On the way home he couldn't stop looking at my face and I couldn't let go of his hands. He started to take the turn to my house.
"No," I whispered, "I don't want to leave you tonight."
His expression was pained at the sound of my voice. We arrived at his house a few minutes later and he again carried me to his room. He laid me down on the bed and hovered over me anxiously. After looking at me he went to his dresser and handed me one of his large t-shirts and then politely left the room.
I changed into it quickly and called to him to come in. As soon as I saw him again I rushed to him and buried myself into his chest. My fingers latched onto his shirt.
We settled laying side by side on his bed. He watched my face intently, no doubt making sure I was all right.
I kissed him reassuringly on his lips. "Thank you."
He frowned at me. "But I was almost too late--"
I pressed a finger to his lips cutting him off. "Doesn't matter. What does matter is that you did show up, that you did save me."
Jacob pressed a kiss to my forehead and I sighed happily. I blinked drowsily. I could barely keep my eyes open.
"If you see him again," I mumbled sleepily my eyes closing, "I give you permission to kill him."
Jacob chuckled at that and pulled me closer to him. I snuggled against his chest and breathed in his scent. I felt warm and protected here. Like nothing could touch me. The horrors of tonight seemed banished in his wake.
"I love you Jacob Black," I murmured and before slipping completely into dream land I felt him kiss my cheek gently.
"I love you Alison Dosch."
And with that I let sleep take me.
