What Happened?

Chapter 40

"Yea sounds good. Who's staying with us in the house?" I asked.

"Ask your boyfriend," Brandon replied smirking sarcastically at me. My heart literally dropped out of my ass. Everyone stood quiet and looked down awkwardly.

"You right. Can I stay the night?" Nick asked wrapping an arm around me and there went my lungs.

"Now you're just being petty," I whispered and Nick shrugged.

"One day it'll be a laugh," he replied.

"Nah Rose step outside-"

"Zion leave me alone-"

"NOW Rose. I will drag you outside play with me," he barked getting to his feet. I rolled my eyes and got up following him outside.

"What Zion?"

"You and Nick? Like you on that hoe shit now?" He asked crossing his arms.

Oh my god Rose don't slap him. You're doing this to save his life. You love Zion. Yup. That's still a thing. He's your best friend. Jewel will be crushed if something happened to him.

"You don't know ANYTHING Zion! Leave me alone and mind your business-"

"Rose I share a room with Brandon and he's torn and now he's even more torn that you hopped to his fucking friend-"

"THAT IS NOT MY CONCERN!" I screamed feeling tears well up in my eyes.

"Damn bro that's straight up bitchy. How can you do that-"

"Unknown threatened your life!" I cried releasing the tears.

He stared at me stunned and said, "What?"

"Unknown threatened your life if I associated myself with Brandon. Then made me and Nick pretend to date to push Brandon if not YOU die," I explained.

"Oh shit."

That Night

I sat on my bed and covered my face. I'm overwhelmed. I've been having nightmares left and right about my nights in the basement. I can't get Unknowns voice out of my head. My skin feels dirty no matter how many times I shower. I feel violated. Once someone forces themselves on you... it will never be the same again.

"You ok?" Nick asked coming in my room.

"Just overwhelmed," I sighed. He sat next to me and wrapped an arm around my body.

"I'm here for you ok?" He replied rubbing my arm.

"Thanks. Can you sleep here with me?" I asked. "I'm scared to be alone to be honest."

"Of course. You wanna watch a movie?" He asked as we climbed in under the covers.

"Can we watch Harry Potter?" I pouted and he rolled his eyes.

"You and Zion with this fucking nerd shit I'm tired," he groaned.

"PLEASE!" I pleaded and he laughed.

"Alright shut up," he smirked as I cuddled into his side.

"Thanks Nick. You're a great best friend type thingie," I sighed in relief.

"Stop licking ass and watch the movie."

Jewel

"Jewel! We're gonna go ahead ok?" Rose called from the hallway.

"Ok!" I called back.

I woke up late. I was venting to Mikey about Zion pretty much all night. No pun intended. And he was actually a good person to talk to. He has a girl back home and I gave him advice on that.

I missed Zion.

So much.

I heard the door close and I finished defusing my hair. I began doing my makeup until I heard a loud crash coming from downstairs. I jumped causing my lipstick to fall. I looked out the window and saw the car occupied by Rose and the guys drive off.

I heard footsteps downstairs and my heart began slamming against my chest. That's not them.

I ran to the side of my bed and crawled underneath. I heard the footsteps come up the stairs and I saw my door open. Black boots entered and I covered my mouth as the person began walking around. Tears poured down my face as it stopped right in front of Me.

My phone rang and my heart completely dropped. I closed my eyes and buried
My face on the ground. I opened it again and saw the boots disappeared.

I felt grips on my ankles and I was pulled. I screamed loudly and was faced with a black mask. I began kicking and screaming as the person pinned me down easily. My mouth was covered and everything went...

Blank.
