We're updating really quick because I have to go with my mother and sister because they want to buy iPads at the Apple Store…or some store. I forgot. Something to read on my phone while I wait.

This chapter is dedicated to: CPrizzle…lol, "Violet, you're Turning Violet!" The best.

Crazy Ride

Chapter 15

(Warning: this chapter gets a little graphic with the hospital scene after Cat's rape)

"Cat, I can't take it anymore!" Andre's angry voice was heard throughout the household. "Can't you be easy on me? Huh?"

Cat glared. "Be easy on YOU? YOU? You are NOT the one who has to carry around a baby for so many months!"

"I know I'm not, but dammit-"

"Don't you dare curse at me!" Cat warned. "Talk to me. Let's talk about this. What exactly can I do to make things better?"

"I don't know, alright?" Andre lost his temper. Cat decided to just let him get it out. "I'm so frustrated with you, the baby, my career, and school! I mean…this was sprung on me so suddenly, you know?"

"You made the choice." Cat said, almost in tears. "You said you loved me."

"I do love you with all my heart and soul! I love you more than life! I love you so much that I would die for you! But Cat, I'm stressed, worried, and angry! I don't know why! I mean, the record company is always criticizing my music! You always need me to go to the store for you! School is being a bitch right now! And I'm trying to help you prepare for the baby! I mean, I know it's not your fault everything is like this! This is Ross' kid- oh shit…"

Cat gasped and stepped away from him, horrified by his words. Andre saw she was in so much shock that she almost collapsed to the floor. He tried to help her, but she kept her balance on the counter in her kitchen they were in. She put a hand on her stomach while breathing heavily. "I knew it." She whispered dangerously. "I just knew it."

Andre was scared to know what she knew exactly. "Cat?"

Cat swallowed and forced her to look at his face. "I knew this would happen. You don't want to be the father of…oh god. I really am going to be a single mom. I can't! I'll give the baby up for adoption! I won't do this alone!"

Andre wanted to shoot himself currently. "No! No, please, don't! I'm here, Cat! I didn't mean to say that!"

Cat shook her head. "No…you meant it."

Andre wanted to cry. "Oh, god, no! I didn't! I'm ready for this! We've been preparing for this!"

Cat sighed. "You don't love him. You will never think of my son like he was your own. I know you won't. You'll look at him sometimes and think that how much he's not yours and some other guy's." Cat glared to him. "I WAS RAPED! Yes, this baby is biologically my rapist's kid! But I thought you were taking a stand and going to be there for us, LIKE YOU PROMISED!" Cat sobbed. "Leave! Leave! LEAVE AND DON'T YOU DARE EVER COME BACK!"

Andre shook his head. "I can't do that. I love you way too much to let you go. I was just angry when I said those terrible words."

Cat scoffed. "So what's going to happen if you get angry when the baby's here? When he's 2, 5, 10, or 14? Are you going to "accidently" say those things to his face when you're angry with him? ARE YOU? I can't trust you anymore! I can't trust you with my son as he grows up! I WILL NEVER TELL HIM THE TRUTH!"

Andre gulped. "Cat, forgive me."

Cat shook her head. "Did you hear what I just said?" She pointed to the door. "Get out. We are done. I'm keeping my INNOCENT child, don't worry. I'll raise him as a single mother. I will protect him from Ross if he tries to come around. I'm never going to tell my son the truth about how I became pregnant. I am never going to let him meet you."

The last one sent Andre over the edge. "Please, don't keep him from me."

"I'm sorry, but this is what is best for me and my son." Cat pushed Andre a little. "Out. Get out. Never come back here. At school, don't talk or look at me. I will NOT let you hurt him like you just destroyed me."

Andre didn't want to, but he figured he needed to give her time to calm down. He nodded and left, making sure she locked the door behind him. Even though they've broken up, hopefully not for long, he needed to make sure she was safe. Once he started his car and was on his way to God knows where, he took out his Bluetooth and pressed on "Beck" on his phone.

"What's up, man?"

"Beck, I made the worst mistake of my life. Now, because of that mistake, Cat dumped my sorry-ass."

"Wait- what? Oh god, Andre, what did you do? No, forget it. Get your ass over to my RV and we'll discuss it like men. Is Cat alone at the house?"

"Yeah, can you-"

"I'll call Jade and tell her to go over there."

"Thanks." And Andre hung up, heading to Beck's. Andre couldn't help the anxiety he was feeling as he drove to Beck's RV. He had to pull over next to a public park as he gripped the steering wheel. It was all happening to fast…

So fast…

Just like that one night over 7 months ago…

The night that ruined Andre's old self as the world knew, making him into this stranger he didn't know.

-Flashback-

Andre rushed over to the passenger side door and opened it for Cat, who was slowly taking her seatbelt off. "Let me carry you." He said softly.

She shook her head. "No, I'm heavy."

He scoffed. "Cat, you're not even close." He put an arm behind her back gently and an arm under the towel and her legs, lifting her out without trouble. He smirked as he shut the door with his foot. "See? Not heavy at all." Cat just gave him a tired smile and leaned her head on his shoulder, wrapping an arm lazily around his neck. "It'll be okay, Lil' Red." He whispered to her as he walked up to the Emergency Room entrance. "I have you now. You know you're always safe with me."

"I know." She whispered back. "Don't let them take me without you, please."

Andre leaned back a little to kiss her forehead. "I'll try, princess."

Cat giggled weakly. "Princess? I love that nickname."

Andre walked through the automatic double doors, with Cat cradled in his arms, and all the attention in the large, overcrowded waiting room looked to him and Cat. A nurse from behind the counter gasped. "Please, help her. She was raped." He told them desperately. He could tell why everyone looked worried at the redhead in his hands. She was still in her blood stained dress, with one strap ripped off, no shoes, and blood covered her inner legs and the towel she covered herself with, bruises everywhere, with bite marks, and her hair was a mess.

A nurse nodded and motioned to another person. "Rape victim! ASAP!"

Andre flinched. Did they have to announce to the whole hospital?

Suddenly another nurse came out from the main door that separated the back where the rooms are from the waiting room. She waved Andre over. "Hurry! She looks like she's losing blood!" She was right. Cat was starting to bleed again. "This way!" She walked with Andre.

Cat whimpered softly. "It hurts worse than before, Andre."

Andre gulped, feeling absolutely helpless. "They're going to help you, princess. Stay with me." The nurse motioned to a room that had an empty bed and Andre quickly set Cat on it, but Cat immediately grabbed his hand. Andre looked to the nurse. "I have to stay with her."

The nurse sighed and nodded. "For now, you can. The doctor is coming now." And she shut the curtains.

Cat began breathing heavily. "Andre, please!" She looked into his eyes with tears and fear. "Don't leave me! I don't anyone to touch me without you in the room! I can't! I can't go through that again!"

The doctor came in, but before Andre could speak, the doctor held a hand up. "I heard everything she said. You should stay."

Andre nodded, feeling relieved. "Thanks."

"Okay, what's your first name, sweetheart?" The doctor asked as another nurse came in and began getting an IV ready to put in Cat's wrist.

"Cat." Cat whispered, feeling terrified.

"Okay, Cat, we're going to have to remove your clothes to do an evaluation and a rape kit. Do you want a nurse to help you-"

Cat shook her head. "Don't touch me, please!"

Andre looked to them. "She's been through too much to be touched. Let me help her."

The doctor nodded. "Okay, but be careful and quick as you can. She's still doing some minor bleeding so we need to hurry." And the doctor left.

Then nurse handed Andre a plastic bag and a gown. "Just put the gown on her. Immediately put her clothes and the towel in the bag and don't touch them after. That will be used as evidence." And she left.

Andre helped Cat stand up. "Sorry if you feel uncomfortable, but I don't want someone I don't know to take my clothes off." She went pale. "It will feel like…its happening again." She suddenly sobbed and wrapped her arms around Andre's neck. "Please, I can't go through that again! I beg of you, Andre! Don't let me go through that again!"

Andre shook with rage. He wanted to strangle this Ross Adams guy. He wrapped his arms around Cat. "You listen to me, Cat, and you listen good and well." He pulled her back to look into her eyes. "Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, will EVER happen to you again. I will not let anyone hurt you like this ever again. Hell, I'll never let another man touch you again!"

Cat let out a breath and nodded. "Besides you, I don't want a man to touch me. You promise you'll keep me safe?"

Her voice sounded so distraught and scared, it broke his heart. "I promise, girl." He kissed her forehead. "Okay, now let's get your dress and underwear off to put them in-"

"I don't have underwear on." Cat mumbled, blushing from embarrassment.

If Andre wasn't pissed before… "Why?" He growled.

"After…Ross was d-done…I put m-my d-dress back on, b-but I couldn't f-find my underwear."

"That's okay." He helped lift her dress off, not looking towards her breasts or any other parts he shouldn't see. He put the gown on from in front. "You don't have a bra on either?"

"He broke it. He ripped it off. There was no use in taking it back if I couldn't wear it." Cat leaned her head weakly on Andre's chest as he tied up the gown from behind. "Everything hurts so bad."

Andre had her lay back down and he peeked his head out from the curtain. He waved to the nurse that Cat was done. She came in and Andre went back to stand next to her. "Alright Cat, we're going to put this IV in your arm, alright?"

Cat bit her lip. "Will it hurt?"

"You'll feel a pinch."

Cat pouted. "I don't like pinches."

Andre took her hand and gave it a squeeze. "I'm here, Cat. Just look at me." Cat immediately did as he said, but winced when the needle went in. "Don't think about that." Cat nodded, tears brimming her eyes.

"All done." The nurse said gently. She pulled out of the cupboards a kit of things and the doctor came back in.

He handed Andre a clipboard. "Can you write down her full name, address, and minor things about her. After we're done with the rape kit, we'll call in her parents."

Cat sucked in a breath. "Don't leave, Andre."

The doctor gave Cat a sympathetic look. "He isn't going anywhere. He's just going to write stuff down." Andre nodded. The doctor motioned to the corner. "There's chair there if you wanted to sit and do that." Andre nodded and did so, shooting Cat a smile of encouragement. "Okay, Cat, this will hurt and feel very uncomfortable. Remember that I'm doing this to help you." Cat nodded shakily. The doctor put her legs out wide on foot stands on the bed, and pulled up her gown a bit.

Just by the cold air, Cat already hissed in pain. "It stings." She said as she gripped the sides of the sheets, her nails digging into them.

The doctor nodded as he examined her. "Yes, I can see why. Darling, you were a virgin?"

Cat sobbed suddenly and nodded. "Yes."

"I'm so sorry." He did something down there that made Cat jump.

"Ow!" Cat screamed a bit and sat up a little, but the nurse tried to push her down. It killed Andre to hear her terrified voice. "It strings! It burns!"

"I know, young one." The doctor continued doing what he had to. "Just collecting evidence for the detectives that are on the way." He told her and then he looked to the nurse. "We may have to stitch her up a little."

Cat had wide eyes. "Stitch?"

"It will help stop the bleeding. Since you were a virgin, it tore a lot of things." He told her. Andre couldn't help, but wince at that statement. "Here's this." He handed something to the nurse.

It went on a little longer and he stitched Cat up, Cat screaming as he did, he gave her something to make her feel less pain, and left. Cat was able to put her legs down and they put a blanket on top. The nurse patted her shoulder. "We'll change your sheets now, dear."

Andre stood up and handed the clipboard to the nurse. "There. Let me help her." Cat put her arms up to Andre and he chuckled. "Or hold her." He put his arms under her back and legs, lifting her up. "Spoiled." He teased her which made her smile through her tears. The nurse put the sheets, stained with blood, into another plastic bag. She put another white sheet on and Andre put Cat back down, straightening out the blanket. The nurse left without a word. "Detectives are coming, Cat." He told her. "They're going to help."

"I know you're probably tired, but…please, stay with me." Cat asked with pleading eyes. "I feel better with you here with me. You saved me…you saved my life. If you hadn't come when you did, Ross would've found me again…thank you, Andre. I need you more than ever."

Andre immediately nodded. "I wasn't planning on going anywhere." Cat's eyes closed slowly. "Just rest till the detectives get here. I'm here. I'll protect you. You're safe." And with his whispering words, Cat fell into a light sleep, her hand still clutching Andre's.

Andre slammed his head against the steering wheel, sobbing. That night he knew he wanted to be with her forever. He had to get her back. He couldn't let her go without a fight.

Good going, Andre…

Dreamzspark – when my sister's boyfriend finally asks her to marry her, she'll post a picture because that's the EXACT ring she wants and already picked out (same price too) so her boyfriend has been saving up for a while now. She won't let him ask her until she gets the ring too. (if you couldn't tell, my sister is very high-class and spoiled, but my mom has always given her EVERYTHING she wants)

Preview for chapter 16

"We have the phone calls, text messages, and the bank account statements to prove everything." The lawyer told her with sympathy. "We are taking him in so we can book him for the involvement of your assault."

Cat gulped. "Charlie, why would you do this to me?"

Cat's mother went up to her son and slapped his face. The police or her father did nothing to stop it, considering he deserved it. "How could you? HOW COULD YOU SELL YOUR SISTER FOR A NIGHT?"
