Remember... this story is DEEP... what one of my friends called it... it has many "grown-up" topics... RAPE... and possibly murder...

Disclaimer: I don't own LWD... but Teirney is ALL MINE!! lol

At dinner Teir just seemed distance much like she was in a daze. She barely looked up from her plate.

Nora looked at Teir, "Teirney, sweetie, is everything ok??"

Teirney jumped a little, "Huh… yea… I'm ok… just tired from the long drive…" she looked down at her plate and played with her food, "You know what I'm really not that hungry… I'll just go read or something… I'm sorry Nora… I've been waiting for your cooking ever since Casey and I put together this plan of me coming up here… but I'm really tired and I just need to go and chill a little… thank you so much."

With that said, Teirney got up from the table and went up to Casey's room and laid on the bed pondering how she could have let that happen.

"Good night Josh!! I love you!!" Teirney said as she kissed his lips went to lie down on his chest and go right to sleep, but Josh had a different idea. He grabbed Teir's face and continued to kiss her.

Teirney just gave in. She had no choice, she loved kissing him, and tonight he was really into kissing her… True it was only because he was drunk and… to be honest… Josh was a bit horny… but still Teirney loved to kiss him and she could always feel the love in his kiss…

Just then Teirney's thoughts were interrupted by Casey walking in the room.

"Does your family think I'm rude??" Teirney asked worriedly.

"Of course not. They just think that you are truly tired." Casey told her reassuring her that her family was very understanding.

"Good, cause I have plenty of things to worry about without the added stress of your family not liking me…"

"O, you know my mother is ALWAYS gonna love you… and Lizzie has always thought you were cool… and they're just worried… that's all… cause you're not you right now… and I understand why…" Casey then walked over and sat on the bed with her best friend, "Teir Bear… did you tell anyone else about Josh??"

Teirney sat up quick and buried her head in her hands and sobbed. "No!! Josh said if I told anyone… like the police or something… he would hurt me… bad…"

"Teir, this guy sounds like a jerk… a MAJOR jerk… why did you date him??"

"I thought he was a good guy… he was sweet enough…when I first met him…" Teirney was just consumed in tears. She felt as if her heart had just been ripped out of her chest and tossed on the floor and someone did a Mexican hat dance on it.

"Teir… you do need to tell someone… like the police or something…" Casey said wrapping her in another hug.

"I can't… I just can't… I know I wouldn't win anyway!!"

"Why's that??"

"Cause we dated… his lawyer will make it seem like it was both of our choices… and besides… do you honestly want me hurt bad??"

"No, of course not… you know I love you Teir…. You do know that the police can give you protection??"

"Yea… but Josh is a real sneaky guy… he could get through the traps and he can hurt me…" Teirney buried her face in her best friend's chest with tears.

Casey just kept her arm around her and hugged her. Casey couldn't help but to cry along with her.

I can't imagine what she's going through… being raped… and can't say anything to the authorities because if she does she'll get hurt. Casey thought as she tried her best to comfort her friend. I wish I could do something…

Casey felt helpless. She had always been able to help Teirney, no matter what problem, Casey would be there, but this problem she just couldn't do anything.

Soon there was a knock at the door.

"Hey you guys," a male voice came from the other side of the door, "Are ya'll ok?? Ya'll have been coped up in here for a good 5 minutes." Derek said letting himself into Casey's room like he usually would do, unless the door was locked.

"Now if ya'll are going to start some girl-on-girl action… wait till I'm in the room and can get a front row seat!!" He said with a laugh heading over to Casey's computer chair.

He then realized that both of the girls were crying. Casey's crying made him cringe, but there was something about Teirney crying that made Derek concerned. Seeing her like this made him feel like he had a heart and it ached.

"O come on Casey!! Do you ever stop crying??"

Casey then sat Teirney up and went over to Derek and grabbed his arm to shove him out of the room, "Derek!! This is neither the time, nor the place for your stupid petty comments about my feelings ok?? So just GET OUT!!"

"Its ok Casey. Derek can stay in here. Actually his presence is making me feel better." Teirney said wiping the tears off her face.

Derek then gave Casey a look as if HA HA IN YOUR FACE…

"You sure?? Cause I'm more than glad to kick him out" Casey said giving Derek an almost death look.

"Nah, he can stay… I'm fine."

"Ok fine… but if he says one more thing about me that isn't nice he's gone!!"

"I agree… he could be a little nicer to my best friend…" Teirney said like a mother trying to guilt her child into doing something.

"Fine… I'll be nice… but please no more crying… you know how I feel about tears Casey!!" Derek said walking back to the computer chair.

Casey just ignored what he just said and sat by her best friend.

"So what were ya'll crying about anyway??"

"That would be none of your business Mr. Venturi!!" Casey snapped.

"Casey its fine… Derek can know..." Teirney said. Casey was confused for a while.

"I was crying because I was having a memory of the break-up with my boyfriend. And Casey was crying to comfort me…"

"O… ok… if you don't mind me asking… but why did you and your boyfriend break up??" Derek asked curiously.

"Umm… well…" Teirney stumbled on how to answer this question without blurting out the full and honest truth, "… my boyfriend Josh… stole something… and… I just… couldn't be with someone like that…" Teirney said choking on every word.

Derek could tell… that wasn't the whole story, but he figured she would tell him when she felt he needed to know… he hoped…

Review and tell me what you think... I'd LOVE to hear it...
