'Running through the woods from attacker and sniffles.. why out of all the boys in my school, why did I like Tyler Lockwood. He raped me now I'm running for my life.' I jolted awake before he caught me... '

"Harley.. time to wake up, first day of school," my sister Elena yelled to me from the hallway.. 

I sit up and goes into my bathroom to take a shower. I step out of the shower and wraps self up in a white fuzzy towel; I go into my walk in closet and grab a black tank top and ripped jeans,

I go and get dressed, I grabbed my booked bag and went downstairs.

"Morning everybody." I nodded at Aunt jenna and elena when i spoke, I grabbed an over sized sweatshirt and pulled it over my body. I grabbed some orange juice while everybody had coffee,

I was zoned out thinking about what happened over the summer, aunt Jenna was rambling about what we need for school, I didn't  need anything, since i'm not like my sister and mootches off my parents trust fund for us, we got our trust funds early because they died. I'm now 18 and working at the same place i have been for 2 years. I'm going into my senior year and Elena is a year younger than I am. She had it all for herself, a boyfriend who loved her, she was a cheerleader, Shes the IT girl, shes also my best friend; shes the only one who knows what happened to me.. Jeremy doesn't even know..

"Harley, you feeling alright?"I get pulled out of my trance by my little sister, I look up at her and nod and smile weakly, "Yeah; Yeah i'll be fine." she nods and heads to the door, I follow behind her, I get into the back of Bonnie's car, I faintly hear her ask if I was alright, all I did was put my headphones in and started to day dream about what happened.

'Me and Tyler were walking around the woods after my parents funeral, we were talking about what happened, it was a hard topic so he just changed the topic to our future, about college, marriage, kids, it all sounded amazing, Everything was amazing... Until he started to kiss on my neck,

"Tyler please... stop, I don't want to, you know i'm not ready." i try to push him off but he kept on going, he drags his hand his hand up my leg under my dress. I start to tear up in fright.

"Tyler... STOP." I try to push him off again, he growled at me and punched me, he threw me onto the ground, he undid his pants, I'm shaking in fear, I'm scared on whats going to happen. I feel a ripping feeling and I scream, he covers my mouth with his hand, I silently cry, I feel this warmth that squirted inside me. I get up weakly and in pain. I was covered in my own blood, I look at Tyler and sniffles, I cant believe my own boyfriend would rape me. Tyler looks at me and growls. 

"you better not say anything bitch, I'll fucking kill you." I growl and punches him in the face, I start to run away, I could hear him run after me, yelling he's gonna kill me. I'm literally running for my life right now....'


I get snapped out of the daydream when the car jolts to a stop, I start to scream and cry because the way my head hit the window, it reminded me of the night of the accident and tyler at the same time. Elena jumps into the back to hug me and sooth me, because she knows whats going on with me. Bonnie is looking at Elena waiting for an explanation, she shook her head at her and kept rubbing my back; Bonnie kept on driving to school.

We pull up and I just sit in the car not wanting to go in, not wanting to see Tyler. "Harley lets go, its been 3 months... we gotta make this year at least count." she rubs my stomach and gets out, I run fingers through my hair and got out of the car hugging my waist. I walk into the school keeping my face covered, I walked passed Caroline before she can hug me to death and figure out my secret that only Elena knows about.

I see Tyler walk towards me, I turn and walk away. I'm halfway down the hallway when he pulls me into a classroom and kisses me, I push him away and starts to tear up.

"Don't touch me, Don't EVER touch me, you hurt me, you took something away from me.. you deserve to go to HELL." I run out of the classroom and I leave the school.


I'm running down the street just wanting to go home. My jog slowly becomes a steady pace walk. I'm in town square now and I sit on a bench, I pull my phone out and I see text messages from, Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, Matt, Jeremy, Aunt Jenna. All asking me if I was Okay, and then there is Tyler. 

Tyler: You fucking bitch, how dare you run out on me, you made me look like an idiot. 

I wiped away my tears when I noticed a Handsome man sitting beside, I look over at him and then I looked away.

"Boy or Girl?" I hear him ask me. "I don't know yet, I haven't been to the doctors in a month." he smiles."I'm Damon Salvatore." I look at him and smiles "I'm Harley Gilbert, you new to town Damon?" 

(HOURS LATER)

I sniffle as I come into the house, I go straight to my room  and drop my book bag down and lay down on my bed, I lift the sweater to expose the bump. Work was so long... I look over to my desk and see my work, I get up and goes over, I see a note.

      ' Harley.

This is all the stuff from all your classes, since you ran away

from me, you really need to get over it, it has been 3 months, 

when are you gonna forgive me.......

    Love 

Tyler Lockwood.'

I shake my head and sniffles and sends him a text.

Me: Never Tyler, you raped me and expect me to forgive you, you must be stupid, leave me alone never contact me ever again. 

I blocked his number and crumbled the paper up and threw the paper out of the window.

I come into Elena's room. 
"Lena, um i can't go back to school, I cant see Tyler and with the baby I need to focus on work, Ill finish online." I look at her, I see her nod, shes comes over to me and pulls me into a hug. "I understand Harley, you gotta do what you gotta do. were gonna have to tell Jenna then." i nod  because I'm scared on what she will say.....

"I'm Scared!!!!"
