| "I told you, you'd be in for a pleasant surprise." Brent hissed. "Get away from me Brent." I said nearly below a whisper. "Aw...come on now Holly, lets play around a little you know you missed me." Brent said revering to sex. "No! I don't want to IM not just going to allow you to screw me whenever you get the damn urge! It's not that way anymore!" I yelled at him, hopefully someone would come in soon because I didn't know what he was capable of doing. "Get off of me!" I yelled as he started forcing himself onto me. "Shut up!" He yelled as he slapped me hard against the face. I somehow managed to get free but it didn't last for long because he ran at me knocking me to the floor. He started pulling at my clothes until I was bare naked. He started raping me as my helpless body tried to escape. I knew that if I didn't get away from him soon, I wouldn't make it through the night. Ten minutes had passed and I heard someone unlocking my door. "Ma'am are you all right?" A young mans voice asked. "No!" I screamed. The man turned on the light and saw me with covers over my body and tears down my face and he also saw another man putting on his clothes. "If you don't get out of here than IM calling the police!" The young man threatened. Brent walked out my door seconds later. "Ma'am are you all right?" The young man asked, I now noticed the uniform he was wearing. He was also holding a job at the hotel. "Yes, thank you." I said grateful somebody had come. He gave me a nod of his head, locked my door and shut it behind him. I took one breath of relief and to my surprise I quickly fell asleep. ~*Morning*~ "Wake up!" Chris yelled banging on my door. "Why couldn't he just call?" I mumbled aloud to myself. I unlocked my door and opened it. "Get your stuff ready we only have another hour..." Chris stopped mid-sentence as he saw my face, "Are you OK? What happened?" Chris asked as he noticed the bruise forming around my left cheek which was caused from Brent slapping me. "Yeah...I accidentally ran into the door last night." I lied. "Oh...." Chris said, "Well, then get ready because we only have an hour until we leave." Chris replied. "OK." I answered as he left to go finish his own packing. I quickly packed and then decided to get ready. "I have to cover this bruise before anyone else notices!" I thought applying make-up No matter what I did, the bruise was still there. I gave up trying when Joey came into my room and helped me with my bags. Luckily he didn't notice. I quickly made my way to the bus and hid in my bunk. Night had fallen by the time I came out of my bunk. "Hey! We thought you were dead!" Chris joked as I walked to the back of the bus where everyone except Justin was. "Where's Justin?" I asked curiously. "Britney called him." JC answered which pretty much was like saying, 'Justin went back into depression.' "So Lance, want to show me that thing?" I asked. "What thing?" "You know, that thing in the thing, that you wanted to show me?" I asked hoping he'd get the hint. "Oh yeah! The thing in the thing that I wanted to show you!" Lance said understanding me. "So what'd you want to talk about?" Lance asked as we walked to the front of the bus where we could be alone. "I need to talk to someone." I said turning my head to look out the window. "My God! What happened?" Lance asked revering to the huge bruise on the side of my face. "That's what I wanted to talk about." I said waiting for Lance to say something, after he didn't, she continued. "Well, my ex boyfriend Brent...use to rape me, and well when we were at the hotel ... I found out that he worked their and last night ... he raped me." I said as I felt the tears but I held them back. "Holly...IM sorry." Lance said gently pulling me to him and cradled me in his arms. Lance helped me to the back of the bus, nobody noticed and I quickly fell asleep in Lances arms. I woke up the next morning to Lance gently waking me up. "Rise and shine sleeping beauty." Lance said sweetly. "Thanks." I said. "For waking you up?" Lance asked confused. "For hearing me out last night." I said giving him a hug and a sweet kiss on the cheek. Lance helped me to my feet as I slipped on some sandals and everyone got off the bus for some fresh air and to get something to eat. We all got what we needed and headed back to the bus, I looked at Justin and noticed that he truly did go back to depression. Lance and I talked about a bunch of things, He even got me to cheer up with all of his corny jokes. I thought it was cute how he tried to keep me happy. "So tell me about Danielle?" I asked. "She was so sweet..." Lance said sighing. "IM sorry...was?" I asked confused. "Yeah we broke up a couple weeks ago." Lance answered a little sad. "Oh, IM so sorry, its just you were talking about her like she was a present girlfriend..." I said filling horrible. "But forget about her! She doesn't know what she's missing!" I said, "I know the perfect person!" I said grabbing my cell phone. "My friend Krysta and you would have so much in common!" I said again. "Lance you can shut me up whenever you want!" I said as we both laughed. I called my friend Krysta and she quickly picked up. "Hey girl!" Krysta said. "How'd you know it was me?" I asked. "Duh! Caller ID! You are such the blonde!" Krysta joked. "Hey, I have a friend her that wants to talk to you." I said. "Girlie, you know I'd love to meet your knew friends but..." Krysta was cut off by me. "His names Lance and he's a total hottie!" I exclaimed causing Lance to blush. "Well, why didn't you say so!" Krysta said as I handed the phone to Lance. They started chatting and I left my bunk feeling better. "Hey Holly." Justin said peaking out of his bunk. "Oh hey Justin." I said giving him a smile. "Do you think we can talk again?" Justin asked. "Sure I answered dunking my head and carefully sat down in Justin's bunk. "Britney called me today." Justin sighed. "Well, what'd she say?" I asked hoping for the best. "She wants all of her stuff back." Justin answered sadly. "Oh...." I said not sure of what to say. Justin and I talked awhile longer until Justin said he felt better. "Pit stop!" Chris yelled running out of the bus. We all went out for dinner and had a great time. When we all came back we saw a not so happy Johnny wright. "What's up?" Joey asked. "We've got a problem, tomorrow were supposed to be starting our practice on your moves, however we found out one of our dancers were pregnant, it was JC's dancer, Melanie. She dropped out and we need to find someone fast." Johnny answered. ~*~Next Day~*~ We were all in an auditorium with many people out side in a line hoping to get the part. "Word sure does get out fast." I said with a laugh. Just then I saw my friend that I hadn't seen in years. "Mikaela!" I screamed running over to her. |
