I herd the bathroom door burst open.
"Rose are you in there? Open the door please."

I didn't bother thinking about it. I let her in.

"What is wrong Rose? Is it Terry?"

I cry even harder "please tell what's wrong."

"T-Terry invite this- man into the house about-it was part of some deal-he didn't tell what the deal was."

I was crying now even harder then before. Liz was rubbing her hand up and down my arm.

"He left --me alone with- him"

Tears were falling from my face faster.

"And-I -w--....was raped.." I say bursting into tears again.

"Oh my gosh" Liz said hugging me.

"Shhh"She gently stoking my hair.

"I'm so sorry Rose." Liz say pulling away from still stoking my hair.

"You have to do something about it. "

"How, I don't know him only what he looks like."

"But Liz that not all"

She stare at me confused.

"He-" I toke a deep breathe as tears started falling again.

"He didn't use a condom" I was now crying.

"Does your brother know about this?"

"No-only you"

"You have to tell him he going to find out sooner or later."

"I know but what about my mum."

"It time Rose"

I know what she meant. But I was unsure if she would even believe.

"I'm sorry, I can't promise to keep this a secret."

I nod my in understanding.

"What do I do Liz? I can't stop playing the whole scene of yesterday in my head. It all my fault. I should of got away sooner. Stopped him before it came to this."

Liz looked me trying to see my face.

"Rose this is not your fault,and I need you be strong okay we can get through this."

I nodded my tears still trailing down my cheeks.

I finally stopped crying. I walk to the mirror to see my eyes all sore.

I washed my face. You couldn't see I had been crying unless you came close to me.

"Come lets go." Liz say leading out the bathroom.

It was lesson time but I was in no need. We bunk lesson. Then grabbed our stuff headed outside.

"Can you stay here for a minute ?"

I nod.

Liz runs back inside while I sit on the wall.

Liz PoV

I was so shocked when she told me. I didn't know what else to do but let her let it all out .

I was walking towards Ashton.

"Did you find out ?"

I nodded then bite my lip.

I then started crying.

"Can we somewhere private?"

He nods leading me to and old tree with no one around.

He then wipes the tears away from my eyes. I hate seeing you upset.

"I know you do." I say

Yes we finally admit our feeling for each other Saturday. We wanted to tell Rose together. But we change our minds.

"Rose - Rose was raped yesterday."

"What!" He say clenching his jaw.

"You heard me,she shouldn't be in school but at least she not with that creep."

"Terry?"

"Yes."

"Has he hurt her ?"

"Yes, far two many times but this crosses the line."

"Did he?"

I shake my head.
"Someone else."

Ashton pulls me into a hug and kisses me on the head. I don't where I be with out him. He make me feel warm,safe and so much more.

"Better go she waiting for me." I say looking up at him.

"Okay." He say

Ashton kisses me on the lips. Then leaves I do the same.

"Sorry I toke so long lets go. "I say forceing a smile.

We both get on the bus in silence.
