Chapter 2

Kay smiled and got into Ryan's car. She quickly put on her seatbelt and Ryan turned on the radio, "What stations do you like?"

Kay bit her lip, "I guess, I like 104.5."

Ryan nodded and turned the radio to the station. Kay looked in the rearview mirror and played with her hair. She didn't even notice that they had passed up the school until Ryan pulled into an extremely empty Dune Point, "What are we doing here, Rian?"

Ryan smiled and leaned in towards Kay, "Come one? You know why we're here."

Kay hadn't noticed it earlier but as Ryan's face came closer to her own she smelt a strong, familiar scent. Alcohol. "No, I don't. Now please take me to school."

Ryan began rubbing Kay's arm, "Come one, baby, can't we just have a little fun?" His hand slid up her arm to her shoulder.

Kay pulled away but Ryan slapped her face hard, "I said, we're not leaving yet." Ryan took off his seat belt and undid Kay's. He opened his door and started walking around to Kay's side.

Kay opened her door and took off runnig. Ryan began yelling for Kay to come back but she ran on. He became furious and took off running after her. He was stronger and faster than she was and quickly caught up to her.

His hand extended and grabbed her flowing hair. She let out a small sob as he pulled her body down to the ground. She hit the ground with a thud and he stood over her. He raised his fist and brought it down on her face. She began to sob as he hit her repeatedly.

When Kay was too weak to fight him anymore, he raped her. Kay felt sick as she felt him going deeper into her body. She cried as he continued to rape her.

He kept on for what seemed like hours. And when he finished he beat her, "Nobody will find out about this. Got it? If anyone does, I'll do this too you again even worse." He walked to his car and got out a small, black trash bag. He put Kay into it and shoved it into his trunk. He drove to the park and dumped Kay into a dumpster.

Kay woke up in the emergency room at the hospital. Everyone was standing around her. Sam, Grace, Jessica, Charity and Miguel.

Chapter 3

Kay closed her eyes. The same images replayed over and over in her mind.

I just want to feel safe in my own skin.
I just want to be happy again.
I just want to feel deep in my own world.
But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
On a different day if I was safe in my own skin.
Then I wouldn't feel so lost and so frightened.
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin.

Kay felt nothing, except for hatred. Hatred for Ryan and what he did to her. Her hatred consumed her soul. The only thing stopping her from telling her father everything was fear. Fear of the humiliation of this happening to her again.

"Kay, it's me, Miguel."

Kay slowly opened her eyes, it took everything she had in her to hold back the tears swelling in her swollen eyes.

And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.

Miguel caressed Kay's shoulder softly. Kay flinched when Miguel touched a bruise but just laid there silently.

I just want to feel safe in my own skin.
I just want to be happy again.

Miguel stroked Kay's hair, "Kay, please you can talk to me, we're best friends."

Kay closed her eyes as the tears began to flow out of her eyes. She turned over so Miguel wouldn't see her weakness but the massive sobs shook her whole body and Miguel knew what was happening. He wrapped his arms around Kay and she cried herself to sleep.

And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore.
