People Like Me. . .

I hang up the phone and run to the bathroom. I close the door and lock it. I sit on the floor and cry. Why is this happening me? I've given up all the things that ruined my past. Now I have a creepy dude on my hands? Why? I turn on the hot water and take a long, hot shower. It felt so amazing.

I get out and check the time. 1:30 AM. I put on my favorite shirt to sleep in. It was my brother's. I bought it for him on his nineteenth birthday. It's one of the few things I have of his. I turn on my favorite movie and watch it, hoping it will comfort me. Hercules always has brought me a feeling of security.

Then I hear it. A rock hits my window. I slowly creep towards it. Harry is gone. I look down and see Logan. He threw it. I'm pretty confused to be honest.

"What do you want?" I question him.

"I want you to go swimming with me." He says.

"Logan, it's like three in the morning." I remind him.

"I know," he says. "What happened to the spontaneous Lily that used to sneak out every night to go party with the upper classmen?"

"She was a drug addicted lower classmen who died a long time ago." I answer.

"You don't want to just relive that for one night?" He asks.

"That was a bad time for me Logan. I smoked weed, took pills, I was always drinking, and I even did snappers." I explain. "It was a horrible life for me. You know that. You were the first person to notice all the marks and bruises and cuts."

He reaches into his car and grabs a River Rags bag. "A brand new bathing suit from River Rags can be all yours. All you have to do is go swimming with me."

"I won't be doing anything but swimming. No smoking or pills or anything, okay?" I say. He nods and I slip on some shoes before climbing out my window. I run out to his truck and climb in. We take off and he grabs my hand.

"You have no clue how happy you have just made me." he says with a smile. I reciprocate it. We drive in silence for the next 20 miles.

"Where are we going?" I finally ask.

"A secluded swimming area. It's really nice. You'll love it." He says.

I don't question him. I trusted Logan. He has always been there for me. He wouldn't hurt me. He would do anything for me. The same I was to him. He's one of my best friends.

When we got to our destination he led me into a large cave so I could change. I did as he told me to, but when I walked out I was surprised to see his car gone and him no where in sight.

"Logan?" I call out. "Logan, this isn't funny."

No response.

"Logan?!" I yell more desperately. "C'mon! This isn't cool!"

Still nothing.

I begin to get a little worried. Where is he? I go back to the cave change, but my clothes are gone.

"Hello?" I say out loud. I here laughter and a bottle shatter. Out of cave comes Josh and Troy. I start to panic a little.

"Hey," Josh says as he stumbles a little closer. "I haven't seen you around in a long time."

"Because I don't want to be around your creepy ass." I say as I step back.

"Is that the proper way to speak to your boyfriend?" He slurs.

"Okay, obviously you are drunk because I broke up with you six months ago." I say.

"And do you know why we broke up?" He asks.

"Because I wouldn't put out." I answer.

"Exactly," he says. "Thats why I'm here to make my claim."

I back up a little more but trip over a rock and fall. Josh comes over and before I know it he is on top of me. He pins me down and whispers in my ear.

"Time to get what I wasted 4 months for." He says. He was going to rape me! I scream out.

"Ahhhhh!" I yell. "Help! Someone please!"

"Nobody can hear you!" Troy yells. He comes towards me and slaps me across the face. I start to cry.

"Why are you doing this?" I say as I sob.

"Why am I doing this?" Josh asks. "Because I spent 4 months with you and you dumped me so you could fuck around with that bitch Kyle!"

"I never did anything with him." I say quietly.

"Bullshit!" He yells. "Everyone already knows! You two had sex! I wasted four months with you and didn't get anything! You and Kyle had after a week of hanging out!" I close my eyes and squeeze them as tight as possible. I hear a car coming but keep my eyes closed. I don't want to know who else is in on this. Josh grunts and falls off of me.

"Who the f-" Troy starts. I'm picked up and carried a short ways to the car. I'm gently placed in the passenger seat. I finally open my eyes to see who it is. When my saviour gets in the car I'm shocked to see Harry. I don't say anything.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"I think so." I say quietly.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" He asks.

"No, I'm fine. Just scared." I say.

"What the fuck were you thinking?! They could have killed you!" He says in his deep, raspy voice.

"I figured that Logan would never hurt me! He never has. He's only ever helped me." I say.

"He's a guy! All they do is hurt women!" He says.

"What about you?" I ask annoyed.

"I've done enough damage as it is." He answers. The next 15 minutes are silent. We pull into the driveway of a magnificent home. It was simply beautiful.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"Welcome," he starts. "To my home."
