They both looked to the side to see Cindy standing right there.
�Oh come on John, answer me!� Cindy demanded. �Cindy, wha�what are you doing here, I thought you were at your grandparents!?� John asked in shock. �I snuck out and toke the train home so I could be here at dance with you but I see you weren�t really missing me.� Cindy replied and stormed out of the gym with John following her.
Marlena followed them and hid behind a locker listening to Cindy yell at John. �How could you dance with that girl?� She immediately asked him. �What do you mean that girl, she�s my friend, and we were just dancing as friends.� John yelled back at Cindy.
Marlena couldn�t take it and so she walked out of the school. When she was walking through the parking lot she heard the door open behind her. �Marlena wait!� John yelled at her. But Marlena didn�t want to wait. She just wanted to get away from the dance. John began to follow her but he lost her though never gave up trying to find her. Marlena walked through the cemetery as it was the quickest way home as she heard a rustle in the bushes behind her. This time she knew someone was there. It was a man and he began to walk closer to her. �Wha�what do you want?� Marlena asked him nervously. �Why so nervous Marlena, why would you think I was going to hurt you.� The man asked. He was not a bad looking man; he was in shape and looked to be in his early 30s. �Just tell me why you are following me!� She yelled at him, trembling. �What�s your name?� He asked her. �That�s none of your business!� Marlena yelled at him, walking back slowly but not losing eye contact with him.
He didn�t like the way Marlena was acting towards him and he toke Marlena�s wrist and held them up towards her body. �Answer me, what is your name!� He yelled at her right up in her face. �Marlena.� She said, unwillingly. �That�s a pretty name Marlena. You are a very beautiful girl.� He told her while looking up and down her body. �What do you want from me?� She asked in disgust. �Listen to me; stop speaking, and its not going to make it any easier.� He told her as Marlena bit her lip, �Your going to listen to me or else your going to get hurt okay�OKAY!!??� He demanded from her, squeezing her wrists tighter. �Okay.� Marlena said, officially trembling. �Now lay down on the ground.� He told her. Marlena did so as the man began to kiss her as Marlena tried to resist but did not want to be harmed. The man began to tear Marlena�s clothes off and did so to himself. He then began to rape Marlena, holding her hands behind her head as Marlena had no control. She was screaming but the man didn�t seem to care thinking that no one would come through the cemetery. Just then some one did and grabbed the man off Marlena. It was John who began to beat up the man who gave him a good fight. �Marlena get out of here!� John yelled at her.
Marlena put on what was left of her ripped up clothes and started to run away but instead hid behind a tree and watched John beat up the man. �How dare you touch her?� John viciously yelled at the man while beating him to the ground. John beat him up for a good 3 minutes until John gave on hard bang into the tree. The man collapsed and began to bleed from his mouth as John just stared at him. Marlena moved up from behind John. �John did�did you kill him?� she asked him staring at the man�s body. �I don�t know Marlena but I don�t think we should stay and find out.� John said in awe of what he did. �John��Marlena said crying. �Marlena don�t say anything, come here, I�ll walk you home.� John told her.
John grabbed her and held her close to his body as she began to sob from physical and mental pain. John saw that her body was hurting so he picked her up and held her across his arms as she dug her head into his chest. John�s eyes began to swell up in pain for Marlena. They didn�t talk the whole way as John carried her home. When they got onto Marlena�s front porch Marlena finally spoke. �John I�I don�t want you to go.� Marlena told him, she had stopped crying but look at his eyes with pain. �Shh�let me walk you in.� John told her.
They quietly walked up the stairs and into Marlena�s bedroom. She looked into his eyes as Marlena began to speak but he stopped her. �Marlena, you�ve been through a lot of pain tonight, go change, I won�t look.� John told her.
Marlena changed into a tank and pajama shorts as John toke off his clothes, stripping down to only his boxers. �John what are you doing?� She asked. �Shh�just get into bed and let me hold you.� He told her with tenderness.
Marlena walked towards her bed and went under the covers as John followed. Marlena put her head on John�s chest as he held her. Marlena began to cry again. �Marlena it�s alright, I�m here, just sleep.� He whispered to her.
She closed her eyes against his skin and fell asleep as he stroked her hair.
