My Only Exception

Chapter 7

I was awoken by Louis' voice.  Asking me if I was okay. I could feel something warm, and damp on my head. I looked around the room to see where I was. Louis' room I assume. 

"What was that about?" Louis asks. I look to make sure the door is closed to make sure Leighton doesn't hear us.

"ummm, Leighton is your cousin?" I ask Louis before I begin to explain anything

"yeah, well by marriage. He is my aunt's step-son" he explains

"Oh, well me and Leighton used to be friends since 3rd grade and in the 6th grade, when I had really bad depression and no one wanted to be my friend, Leighton stayed around and he still hung out with me. When we got in the 8th grade he was over at my house and Katie left to go home because she was in trouble. He kissed me and I didn't say anything about it, because I thought he was just being stupid,we were just naïve and hormonal teenagers. After talking and playing around for a couple of hours he tried to kiss me again and then he started climbing on top of me and trying to lift my shirt up. When I pushed him off he asked me why I did it and was telling me that he knew that I wanted to do it as much as he did, I told him to leave and he just got really mad-" before I could finish Louis interrupted

"HE RAPED YOU?!!" Louis practically screamed, and I could see he was getting really upset.

"No! he got up and he left. Then the next day when I got to school, He had told everyone that I had tried to do it with him and that I had told him that it was going to help me a lot with my 'Issues' and that I had showed him all of my blades and I had told him all this stuff, that wasn't even true. When we got to high school he often winked at me in the halls and tried to brush up against  me, knowing that I was going to ignore him. He would get his friends to honk at me and Katie when we walked to my house from school freshman and sophomore year. I hadn't seen him much junior year. " Just talking about it upsets me and I could feel the tears brim in my eyes. I hate crying, especially in front of other people. Louis was unsure of what to do and I could tell by the way he just awkwardly sat there with his hands on my knees.

"I think maybe it isn't a good idea for you to be here, We could go back to your place." Louis said getting up and grabbing his jacket

"yea, okay" I said. following behind him.

As we walked out of the house Leighton stood at the end of the hall with a smug look on his face. Louis pushed past him and whispered something to him. My parents were still in the living room because we had only been gone for about 30 or 40 minutes so when we got back to my house we snuck back in through the bathroom window and went upstairs to my room. I could tell Louis wanted to ask me questions about it but he was afraid. I really didn't want to talk about it so, We just got into bed and watched TV. I thought that this summer was going to be on of the best but this one, small situation could alter that.
