A/N: I was in the most depressed mood ever while writing this so sorry if it's really angsty and dramatic. I also made Jones evil because frankly that's what all rapists are and he reminds me of mine.
Chapter 10- Last Day On Earth
"Jones." Lux's voice wobbled and she took a few stumbles back, her eyes filling with tears as she crossed her across over herself protectively. It scared her how much fear he had instated in her, the constant dirty feeling, broken feeling.
Jones smirked, hands behind his back as he slowly took steps toward her, smiling a little more each time she flinched. "I didn't even ask them to do that for me. Everyone at school. I guess they just realized what a lying slut you are."
Lux squeezed her eyes shut, tears flowing down her cheeks as he reached his hand out to caress her hip. She wanted nothing more than to run away, but found herself unable to move, paralyzed.
"My dad made a deal with the police." He continued, holding her in place by her waist. "This... misunderstanding," He said, pausing to choose the right word. "isn't going on my record. I've got a clean slate."
He smirked, reaching up to stroke her face as Lux bit her lip to stop herself from full blown crying. "You, on the other hand, have to deal with everyone knowing that you're both a liar and a whore."
"You can take it all back, you know. Just tell people you lied." Her leaned close to her, whispering in her ear before kissing her cheek, causing Lux to gag. "No one believes you anyway."
Lux's phone rain, infuriating Jones. He grabbed her jeans causing Lux to scream, and reached into her back pocket to pull out her phone. He held it in front of her, teasing her as she read the caller ID and saw that it was Ryan. She sobbed, watching as Jones threw the phone over the railing, both of them watching as it hit the icy water.
"Guess you really do take after your parents. They were teenage sluts too." Lux looked up at him.
"They weren't sluts." She mumbled causing Jones to jerk her arm to make her look at him.
"What did you say?!"
She starred at him, suddenly only caring about protecting her parents. "They weren't sluts." She said loudly.
Jones looked furious, pushing Lux backwards so that she fell on the cement bridge. He went down with her, climbing on top of her and unbuttoning his jeans. "I'll show you what a slut is."
Fifteen minutes after school had let out, Ryan decided to call Cate. He had tried Lux multiple times, each time getting her voicemail.
He sighed, dialing the familiar number and listening to her pick up on the first ring. "Ryan? Is Lux with you?" She rushed.
Ryan stood up straight at the urgency in her voice. "No, I was just about to ask you the same thing. She was supposed to meet me after school."
"She's not there?" Ryan could practically hear Cate pacing. "Math said she left and that she was upset and apparently Jones is missing too but she didn't come home and she didn't call us and she's not picking up her phone. It just keeps going straight to voicemail, and I don't even know where to look." Cate choked with fear, her eyes filling with tears.
"Cate, you're rambling." Ryan felt himself panicking as he turned on his car and drove away from the school. "Has Baze checked the bar?"
"Yeah, yeah, he's out looking for her right now."
Ryan ran a hand through his short hair. "Okay... Uh, meet me at Memorial Park as soon as possible. If she's not at the bar, then she's probably there.
"Okay." Cate sounded confused but called Baze and did as he said. Seeing as Cate was closer to the park then Ryan had been, she arrived first.
Getting out of her car, she looked around. The park was relatively empty, with the exception of a few joggers. Lux was nowhere in sight and Cate felt tears on her cheeks as Ryan and Baze pulled up beside her.
"She here?" Baze asked. His tone seemed angry, but Cate knew it had nothing to do with Lux.
Cate shook her head, pushing her hair back as she hastily looked around the park. Ryan abandoned his anger at Cate, placing a hand on her back. Cate automatically moved into him, wrapping her arms around his back as he did the same, burring his face in her hair as comfort for both of them.
Baze looked on slightly jealous, before a scream tore their attention. "Lux!" Cate screamed, not knowing where it came from, but like in the hospital, knowing instinctively that it was her daughter.
Baze sprinted off in the direction of the scream, Ryan and Cate closely behind but all three froze for a second when they saw her.
Jones was on top of Lux, his knees digging into her inner thighs, and his hand pulling at her hair to keep her to the ground. Lux's pants were ripped down, but none of the three parents could tell if Jones was exposed to.
Cate gripped her chest, frozen in place while Baze and Ryan quickly recovered, sprinting faster than ever to the two teenagers. Baze grabbed Jones' top, yanking him off of Lux as if he was as light as a feather and earning a scream from Lux.
She grabbed at her jeans, pulling them over herself and huddling up against the railing looking on terrified. Baze was uncontrollably hitting Jones, and no one made any movement to stop him.
Ryan moved closer to Lux, smiling at her reassuringly. "Lux." He spoke softly, holding out his hand to her. "It's okay. It's over."
Lux shook her head and pushed herself further up against the wall. Ryan turned to Cate who was still frozen and watching the scene. "Cate!"
She tore herself out of her daze and looked at Ryan confused, as if she had just been imagining everything. Ryan yelled for her again, and Cate rushed over, squatting down beside Ryan and looking at Lux, neither knowing what to do.
Ryan stood up to tear Baze and Jones apart. "I said if you ever came near her again, you were a dead man!"
Ryan grabbed Baze's arm and reluctantly Baze backed away leaving a bloodied and bashed Jones barely standing. "The bitch was asking for it." Jones spat out a mouthful of blood and a tooth.
Ryan turned to him, and punched him once, sending him to the ground, both Ryan and Baze starring at him, as if daring him to move.
"Lux." Cate whispered, knowing Lux was dissociating herself from the scene. "Lux, I need you to look at me, okay, baby? Just concentrate on me okay? Only me."
Slowly Lux started to follow what Cate was saying, finally looking up at her. Cate felt her heart break even more. Lux was broken, completely broken, and she looked like another person leaving Cate to wonder if she could ever get back from this.
"Lux?!" Cate screamed as Lux's eyes rolled back into her head and she passed out. Cate gathered her in her arms, resting her chin against Lux's head.
Ryan came over when Cate screamed, silently asking Cate if he could pick her up. Cate kissed her head and scrambled out from under her, watching as Ryan easily picked Lux up and rushed her to Cate's car. "Get her to a hospital."
"Wait, Ryan! What about you? Baze?" Cate sat in the driver's seat, Lux sprawled across the backseat.
Baze still stood over Jones, and Ryan was slowly making his way back to them. "We'll take care of him."
Ryan's words seemed so different, so calm and yet so angry at the same time, but Cate couldn't think of anything else than getting Lux safe.
A/N: I don't know if I'm really happy with this chapter but I figured I should make it at least a little bit more like the movie/book so Jones is basically going to die and no one knows if it was Baze, Ryan or someone else who did it. Sorry again about the angst
