I was glued to the spot with fear. This could not be happening to me.
"What? Not even going to say hello now." The voice questioned. I refused to turn towards him. I didn't want it to all start again, not after the brutal departure last time. I stood my ground and looked the other way. A muscular hand grabbed my chin and pulled it to face him. His black hair was slightly covering his emerald green eyes, but I could still see the hatred in them.
"T-Trent, don't d-do this." I trembled with fright, fright of what he could do to me.
"Do what, Courtney?" He asked innocently. He released my face and leaned in for a kiss. I dodged his lips by taking a step backwards, making him stumble forward. I shivered even more as he slowly lifted his head and his eyes met mine. More hatred, more evil, more sickening thoughts swam round in those green pools of his.
I took another step back and Trent took a step forward. It took all I could but I tried to summon up all my courage.
"Trent, I don't want this to start again. I don't want anything to do with you." I told him. He just shook his head whilst a sickening grin was plastered on is face.
"That's not your decision." He whispered before grabbing my wrist and pulling me round the side of the building so no one could see us, or hear my screams.
I was pushed up against a wall and I winced in pain, Trent was stronger than I remembered. He leaned his body on top of mine and started trailing kisses from my collarbone to my neck to my lips. I turned my head to the side so he couldn't reach my mouth. I thought I was in the clear when he pulled himself off me, but I was wrong, terribly wrong. He swung back and slapped me across the cheek. I blinked back a few tears and placed my hand on top of my throbbing cheek. Trent pulled my face towards his and kissed me on my lips. I struggled to get free, but he was stronger than I was.
When he tried to slip his tongue into my mouth I denied him access. He tried again but I refused to let him in. Once again he pulled away from me, this time I knew what was coming. I closed my eyes and prepared for the impact, but it didn't come. I opened my eyes slightly and saw the outline of a boy holding Trent's hand back to stop him from hitting me. I moved my head to face the two but my eyes were blurred from tears.
"You don't want to do that." The boy said, I knew that voice.
"And your going to stop me?" Trent laughed.
"Yeah, I am." The boy shoved Trent against the wall, but Trent pushed himself off the bricks and punched the guy. The two started punching and hiting and kicking each other until Trent was lying on the floor with the breath kncoked out of him.
I ran to my saviour and wrapped my arms around in neck in a hug. He placed his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
"You didn't think I'd let this jerk hit you, did you, Princess?" Duncan whispered in my ear.
"No." I whisperd back. I started to cry into his shirt, but he didn't mind.
The two of us stayed in that position until someone came running round the corner. We broke apart and standing there was Shayne and Will.
"What fucking happened?" Shayne asked, staring down at Trent's body. He was now trying to stand up but not getting very far.
"This scum bag's been abusing Courtney." Duncan spat at the floor. I buried my head into his shoulder and he put his arm around my back to hold me closer.
"He's been-WHAT!" Shayne yelled. He iced Trent in the stomach and then turned to me.
"Are you okay?" He asked worried.
"I-I'm fine." I assured my brother, my voice was still a bit shaky from crying.
"You know what, Shayne." Will paused for effect. "I think we should dispose of him."
"That my friend, is a great idea." Shayne said, not taking his eye of Trent.
"Y-your going t-to kill him?" I asked, not wanting him die just be punished.
"Nah, a murder case isn't what we need right now." Will told me.
"We were planning on dumping someone in the lake, and Trent here just volenteered." He smirked.
Will grabbed his feet and Shayne grabbed his arms, they caried him down to the lake's edge and dropped him on the dirt. Duncan and I walked in slience behind them, he held me close for safety and I didn't objectify. We stopped by Trent's body, he was now fully aware of what was happening but couldn't move because Duncan had done such a good job. He was quietly wimpering in pain, but we didn't acknowledge him.
Will and Shayne rolled up the bottom of their pants and removed their shoes and socks from their feet. They picked up Trent once again and carried him into the water. They swug him back and fore, counting each swing a they went. After three they threw him high into the air and her came plummeting down with a giant splash that sent droplets of water over Duncan and me too.
I laughed on the inside as Trent resurafced. Shayne bent down to him and I could just about hear what he said.
"Next time you want to hurt my sister, you'll remember what we have the power to do." He then pushed hs ahnd up form under the water and a small wave hit Trent's face. My brother and his friend walked back over to us and we watched as Trent swam back to shore, but a bit further down the lake to where we were.
"I don't think he'll be bothering us for a while." Will said.
"Courtney!" Shayne gasped as he turned to face me. He placed his hand under my chin and ran his thumb over my cheek. I winced in pain. "You need to cover that up." Shayne told me. I knew he was right, but mome and dad had the keys to the cabin and I couldn't risk them seeing my now bright red cheek.
"You two go back to the cabin and we'll get the keys." Shayne said, grabbing his shoes from the floor and jogging away with Will. I looked at Duncan and he held his hand out to me, I took it and we walked back to my cabin.
We sat on the steps while we waited for the two to come back. Duncan gave the place a look that culd only be know as shock.
"It's not the best place in the world." I told him.
"I can see that, it's a dump." He replied. "You'll have to come to my place sometime and I'll show you what a real cabin looks like." He smirked.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, realisng I had never asked earlier because of the whole event.
"I told you not so long ago at school, my parents are taking me and my brother to the lake." I the remembered Duncan telling me that. "What about you?" He asked. "I I remember rightly you were going to babysit all summer." Duncan gave me a nudge of the shoulder.
"My parents decided we needed some way to stop all the fighting going on." I told him.
We sat in silence until Shayne and Will came running up to the cabin. They threw me the keys and I unlocked the door. I sprinted for the bathroom but was met by an unexpected visitor. I shrieked as the rat's eyes met mine. All three boys came racing into the room but stopped when they saw the rat.
"It's just a rat." Will said but Shayne shook his head.
"Its not just a rat, it's Benny. The cleverest rat I've ever come across." He corrected his friend.
"Let's see how clever it is." Duncan moved forward slowly and then jumped for the rat, it slipped fr6m his grasp and ran out the room. None of us bothered to run after it, there was no point he was going back to his hole where we couldn't catch him.
I turned to the mirror and only then did I see the huge, red handprint on my face.
"It looks even worse in the light." Shayne exclaimed. I took out my make-up bag and tried my best to find something that would cover up the mark. I yet again winced in pain as I touched brushes and make-up pads to the area, but I had to brace myself and cover up all of it.
A/N:I know I made Trent OOC but I saw him as the clingy kind of ex-boyfriend who wouldn't let Courtney go for anything, so that's why I made him like that sorry if you didn't like it.
