Because of you

Chapter 4

I felt my chest tighten as I walked towards her. "Hello" came my strained voice.

She didn't even bother to shake my outstretched hand, she just looked at me, muttered a hi then turned back to Shane. I rolled my eyes as I I saw her stick her overly glossed lip out and raise her eyebrows at Shane.

"baby" she whined. "Are we still going out tonight?". I felt like laughing at her with the way she was talking. I couldn't believe Shane had gone for someone like her.

He cleared his throat. "Yeah of course, let me just get my jacket" he replied as he ran past me and into his room. I elevated my eyes so I was looking at his girlfriend and all I could see was the smirk plastered across her face. I faked a smile back and all she did was roll her fake crystal blue eyes at me. Shane must be seriously messed up in the head if he really liked this girl. There was awkwardness obvious in the room until Shane ran back in, hastily throwing on his jacket.

"Mitchie, I'll be back in a few hours, don't wait up, there is food in the fridge so make yourself whatever, see you later" he said in a rush as he pulled Sylvia out the door. She threw me a glare before the door closed. When it did I stuck my finger up and turned into the kitchen in a huff. I yanked my phone out my pocket and dialled my best friends number.

"Hey" she said. "Is everything ok? How is it living with Shane grey?" she snickered slightly.

I scoffed and hopped onto the counter. "Not the greatest, he has a girlfriend and im not one to judge but she looks like she should be working for willy wonka"

I heard her laugh and snort slightly. "Are you serious? What was she like?"

I sighed. "I don't know, she just glared at me while Shane got ready, I can tell she hates me already"

"Why would she hate you" Caitlyn asked sounding genuinely confused. It was kind of obvious so I don't know how she hadn't picked up it up.

"Because, im living here with her boyfriend, she obviously thinks im going to try and take him away from her, but trust me, I have no desire in doing that, it just hurts that he didn't even bother telling me he had a girlfriend" I said as I rubbed my arm.

She hummed. "yeah your right, look Mitch, I have to go, my mom wants me to help with dinner, remember, your coming round Wednesday right?"

I nodded to myself. "Of course, see you then"

Flipping my phone shut, I stuffed it back in my pocket and jumped off the counter. Why hadn't he told me he had a girlfriend? Was he trying to hide her from me? I sighed and walked into the living room, falling onto the couch. A thought then danced into my mind, why should I just stay here while Shane went out. No, I was going to go out and have some fun. I can't even remember the last time I had fun. Not since my dad went down hill.

I dashed into my bedroom, pulled off my baggy clothing, slipped on a short black dress that hugged my slim but curvy figure, a pair of black heels that gave me a few extra inches and applied some dark make-up. I curled my lifeless hair into soft waves, then grabbed my purse and left the apartment.

As I walked down the road, my heels making a loud click with every step I took, I earned myself a few wolf whistles and lots of looks. I didn't like it though, I kind of started to regret coming out, but I couldn't go back now, I wasn't going to just sit at his place and mope around. I walked for around 5 minutes until I stumbled across a club. Of course I wasn't old enough but if I hutched my skirt up a little, exposed a little more cleavage, I think I could pass. I walked to the entrance; the bouncer looked me up and down and stepped aside. I threw him a small smile before I dashed inside. As soon as I was safely in the building, I pulled my dress down so it wasn't only just covering my ass and the top half up so my boobs weren't ready to fall out. As I inhaled a strong scent of drink, drugs and sex assaulted my nose. I wrinkled it in disgust and walked over to the bar.

The bar tender looked at me. "What can I get you gorgeous" he said with a smirk. I glared at him. He was one of those bleach blonde guys who look like a swim suite model, shiny and buff. I kind of gagged though when he leant over the counter, his cologne made me want to throw up, not only did he have to much on, it was just horrible.

I turned my face away slightly. "Erm, Vodka and coke please" I said with a small smile. I saw him hesitate before he poured my drink. He probably saw that I didn't look the right age.

As he handed me the drink he had his eyebrow raised. "Are you sure your old enough". I chugged down about half of the glass; I cringed slightly as the liquid flew down my throat, stinging it slightly.

As I looked at him, he didn't look any older than me, maybe 18, so I raised my own eyebrows. "Are you". I saw his face turn to worry as he quickly turned away from me and over to another customer. I smirked and downed the rest of my drink. It seemed to hit me instantly as I began to feel slightly light headed. I just shook it off and was about to walk away when someone started to talk to me.

"Would you like another drink" came a strained voice. I turned around to see Shane with blazing eyes. my own eyes widened as I looked at him. He looked livid, his face was almost red but I couldn't tell but it was so dark. I kind of winced under his glare.

I just shook my head and turned to leave. "No thanks" but before I could get anywhere his hand was gripping tightly onto my arm. I yanked it away from him and looked at him.

He leant closer to my ear so I could hear him. "What are you doing here?" he hissed. I scoffed and looked at him, I could be asking him the same question.

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "What? Am I not allowed out now, I didn't want to just sit at your place alone while you went out" I said as I glared at him. He closed his eyes as his nostrils flared. He started to look around angrily until his eyes fell back onto me.

"Just, go back to the apartment" he quietly hissed into my ear. I scoffed and him before turning and walking onto the dance floor. I tried to loose him in the crowds and eventually I did. I turned around and I couldn't see him in the mass of bodies. I sighed in relief and sat down at a table. As I watched the people move, someone came and sat across from me, I sighed thinking it was Shane and I was about to tell him to leave me alone but it wasn't, it was someone who looked my age, maybe a year older, he had brown swept hair, he was well built but not to muscular and he had piercing green eyes, I think, or that was just the lights. He smiled at me.

he leant across the table. "Is it ok if I sit here?" he asked, yelling over the music. I nodded and smiled. He was actually quite cute. I looked around and when I looked back at him he was right next to me. I kind of moved a way a little and he didn't seem to notice. "What's you name?" he asked.

"Mitchie" I shouted. "What about you?" I asked.

He brushed his fringe out of his face with his hands before answering. "Darren" he said as he flashed a smile. I couldn't help but smile back. He then spoke again, "Can I get you a drink?"

I nodded and followed him as he led the way to the bar, we went around the outside so we wouldn't be crushed by the people dancing. I just hoped I wouldn't run into Shane, I mean, it was a pretty big club but I couldn't be dealing with his lecture.

4 drinks later…

I wasn't drunk but I was tipsy. My eyesight was slightly cloudy but I could still walk, I had been talking to Darren for most of the night, he told me how he had just turned 19 and that he still lived with his parents and from that I cant remember.

He then placed his hand on my back. "Would you like me to drive you home?". I didn't even hesitate; I grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the club. He then led me to his car which was a large rang rover. He helped me climb into the passenger seat, and then he walked around and got into the drivers seat.

I pulled the door shut and turned to him with a smile, I told him where to drop me off and he just nodded. I completely misses him locking all the doors. It took us 10 minutes until we got to the apartment.

I turned to him. "Thanks for the ride and the drinks, it was nice meeting you" I said with a smile. I then turned around to open the door but it was locked. I looked back at him confused. "Erm, the doors locked". He didn't even look at me. He was just staring ahead. I began to panic. Suddenly, his hands were everywhere, my thighs, my waist, my arms and my dress was up around my waist. I then felt myself fly back, so he had obviously lowered the seat. I began to yell and punch his chest but he clamped his hand over my mouth and forced himself on top of me. I closed my eyes as the tears fell. He then smashed his lips onto mine and I yelped in pain. I tried to push him off but he was to strong so I just continued to punch his back with all my strength. Not to long later my underwear was around my knees and pain was everywhere. I gasped against his mouth and my eyes flew open, the tears began to fall at a faster rate as I punched and thrashed with all I had. After a couple minutes I got one of my hands free and punched him in the eye.

He fell back into his seat groaning in pain, I hastily pulled up my underwear and frantically lifted up the lock on the door and ran out, he tried to grab me but I got away quick enough, I heard him speed off in his car as I ran into the apartment. My breathing was coming out in chokes as I sobbed, I could hardly walk but I pushed myself. When I got into the living room I saw Shane sitting there. He looked at me but then did a double take when he saw the state of me. He ran over and put his hands on my shoulder. "What happened?" he whispered. I looked at him for a few moments, thinking weather I should just tell him or not, but I just pushed past him and ran into my room. I collapsed onto the bed and put a pillow between my legs. The pain was excruciating and I kept gasping when I moved.

I cant believe I had just got raped.
