Kathie ran as fast as she could. She held her ripped dress to her naked body as she ran. Her makeup streamed down her face and blood ran down her legs.
She ran through the snow, her bare feet were freezing. She ran to the back door of her boyfriends house. She banged on the door and wrapped her torn dress around herself.
Michael came to the door and pulled Kathie inside. "What happened to you?" Michael asked. He sat Kathie on the couch. "This guy...I don't know who he was...he..he" Kathie said before she broke down crying.
Michael held Kathie in his arms as she cried. She just had something important stolen from her, something she could never get back. Her sobs turned to whimpers. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up. We can talk later" Michael said. For once, he sounded so gentle and worried.
He let Kathie get a shower and clean herself. He gave her one of his shirts to wear. Kathie brushed through her wet hair as she walked into Michaels bedroom.
Michael let her sit next to him on the bed. "What happened?" Michael asked. "I was walking home from my friends. This guy kept following me. I tried to lose him in the woods. He grabbed my arm and pulled me behind some bushes. He ripped my dress off and he...he took what I was saving for you" Kathie said
Michael hugged her and pulled her onto his lap. Kathie wrapped her arms around his neck. "Don't worry about it right now. I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow. Just sleep, you need it" Michael said.
