Present time: Police Station
"So that's what happened officer. That's my sad, depressing story."
The officer barely blinked. He just stared.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
He finally moved. At least I didn't know he was pretrified.
"Oh yeah. I'm fine. I'm sorry to hear that an individual went through all of that."
"Yeah." I said.
"Well I need to ask you. Do you want to press charges on Derek?"
I sat there clueless. I didn't know what to do. I sat in my seat thinking. What would be the best thing to do? I looked at the officer and he was staring at me.
"Can I have some time to think about it?" I asked.
"Sure. Whenever you are ready." He said.
He got up slowly with a file and was heading to put it away. Before he was fully out of site he turned around to me.
"OH by the way. You have a visitor. Some kid who wanted to save you. We had to lock him in a cell to keep him out of our way."
I laughed. I already knew who it was. I got up and walked over to the cells. A guard opened it up and let Brandon out. He saw me and his whole expression on his face lit up. He ran up to me and embraced me in the warmest hug ever.
"OH god I was so worried about you. Look at your head." he said.
"I'm fine Brandon. Really." I said.
"Where is he?" he asked.
"I dont know. I guess locked up somewhere. Hell he could be in the hospital." I said kind of happily to myself.
"Do you want to go home?" he asked me.
"Yeah. Just a sec. I want...I want to see him. Once more."
"Are you sure that's a good idea Tiana?"
"Yes. He can't hurt me no more Brandon."
Brandon nodded his head and we went up to the officer.
"Can I see him, before I leave?"
The police officer nodded his head and told us to follow him. He took us down a long hallway where there were alot of doors. He opened one of them up and we walked in. There he was, sitting at this table, was Derek. I went to open the door and Brandon was right behind me.
"I want to do this on my own." I told him.
He understood and waited for me. I walked in and Derek looked up at me.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"I wanted to talk to you one last time. You know before you want to hurt me anymore."
He rolled his eyes but I ignored him.
"I wanted to tell you something. And then I'm going to leave, and never see you again. Is that okay with you?" I said.
He seemed to ignore me and I continued on talking.
"Over the past few months, you made my life hell. I would never hurt you. Never!" I yelled at him."I loved you Derek. I really did. But you know what? After a while, I couldn't take it anymore."
He looked at me and seemed to not really care what I had to say. He turned his head away from me. I got up and walked around the table. I grabbed his face and held it to mine.
"You beat, cheated, & raped me...but you never loved me. Do you know how that felt?" I asked him.
"No not really Tiana. have no clue." he said.
"Well after tonight, you will know. Cause you are going to lose the best thing that has ever happened to you, me. And the worst part is, another man took what was once yours."
He started to turn red. The ice cold blue eyes I once loved turned to burning flames. I sat down next to him and whispered.
"Did you know, that when you raped me, I lost my virginity?" I asked him.
His eyes widened. Tears filled my eyes as I spoke this. He shook his head no.
"When you kept entering me that night, I slowly felt my virginity slipping away. It was the most HORRID experience of my life Derek. And you caused it." I said.
All he could do was look at me, and then turn his head, then get mad, then grunt. But he couldn't find the words to speak to me. I wonder why. I got up out the chair and left to leave the room.
"Wait." he said.
I turned around and looked at him.
"What?" I asked
"I'm...I'm sorry." he said.
I looked him straight in the eyes.
"I know you are." I said, and walked right out of the room.
Brandon was right there to hold me for support. I looked at the officer that was there.
"Officer,I don't want to press charges." I told him.
Both him and Brandon looked at me with budged eyes.
"What? Why the hell not?" said Brandon angrily.
"Because..." I started off," I need to move on with my life, and so does he, we don't need to go through things that will make us remember. We simply need to forget." I told them.
The officer nodded his head.
"You know I must say, for a 17 year old girl, you sure show the qualities of a strong women." he told me.
I smiled." Thank you. And thanks again for helping me."
"Thank you sir." Brandon said shaking his hand.
"Anytime."he said.
After that, me and Brandon left the police station, and did not turn back.
Brandon drove me home after we left the police station. He came in the house with me too. I looked around and the house was clean.
"Who cleaned the house?" I said.
"Well," Brandon said with a smirk on his face.
"What did you do?" I said.
He came over to me and put his hands on my waist.
"Well I called some of YOUR friends and they felt bad so they came over and cleaned up the house."
"Brandon I don't have friends." I said.
"Are you sure about that?" he asked.
"Yes I am."
"Then you must not have seen your bedroom then." he said with a smile.
I looked at him with curious eyes. I walked towards the staircase and went upstairs. I walked into my room only to see that it wasn't the room I once had before.
I had a whole new bed set. The sheets and comforter were black, white, and hot pink. The walls were splashed with paint giving it a type of mood to the place. I had new furniture and everything.
"Oh my god! How did yall do this?"
"Like I said, you have friends." Brandon said.
I smiled at him and put my arms around him. I went to give him a hug but instead he gave me a kiss. I kissed him back. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me deeper. I felt this feeling that I never felt before. I tangled my hands in his silky smooth hair and kissed twice as much. His hands traveled down my waist to my legs. He went back up only to grab my ass. I gasped when he did it and he took the moment to put his tongue in my mouth.
"Mmmm...told you we were going to finish this." he said.
I smiled."Shut up." I said.
He picked me up and put me the bed and got on top of me. He kissed me everywhere and it felt so good. His hand traveled to my waist and he was about to put his hand under my shirt when I stopped him.
"Wait Brandon. I dont know if I could do this. I just was raped and its still hard for me." I said.
He looked at me with such a powerful emotion I swear we had a connection.
"I understand Tiana. But I want you to know that would never hurt you . And even if he raped you, that doesn't mean he took your virginity. In order for someone to have it, you have to give it to them." he said.
I started getting teary eyed.
"God damn it. I have to stop this crying." I said with a laugh.
Brandon smirked and he wiped my tear away. He put his hand on the side of my face and layed it there. I stroked his face too and I kissed him.
That night me and Brandon didn't have sex. That night...we made love. Passionate love. It felt so right that we never wanted to stop. When we were finished, he held me in his arms.
"I love you Tiana."
"What?" I asked.
"I love you. I've been dying to say that for the longest time." he said to me.
I smiled. " I love you too Brandon."
I layed up against his chest and rested there. For the first time in my life, I finally, really experienced what heaven was like. And the best part, I got an angel too.
