The Help

I blushed when he took my hand and I squeezed it softly. "It was really comfortable."

I smiled , and I felt.my cheeks get hot. "I should.. go get my key, they have spares in the office." I said aoftlt, and I sat up.

I nodded and slowly let go of his hand. "Okay.."

I nervously got up, and left.. I always shyed away from people when i opened up so much.

I sighed and got up, getting ready for the day. I couldnt stop thinking about Slade and how he held me..

Whenever I felt someone was starting to see my sweet side , I just shyed away.. I got a new key, and went into my room

I put my hair in a long braid, and then I went down for breakfast.

I didnt go down for breakfast. I was putting all the papers away from what.I had written yesterday. I couldn't stop thinking about her..

I was walking back towards my room when someone grabbed me and pinned me against the wall. "Hey beautiful." Eric's voice purred. He kissed down my neck and I struggled against him, whimpering softly. "Let's go somewhere more... Private." He whispered. "Please stop.."

After organized, I walked out and I went to find Aurora. I turned the corner, and I frowned at what I saw, Eric. "Let her go." I demanded, walking over, and I froze when he pulled a pocket knife. "Put it away."

I gasped and I grabbed his arm. "Please Eric dont..." I took a deep breath. "I'll do anything. I promise."

When he was looking at her, I quickly grabbed his arm, he was much stronger than me. He let him go, and the knife was very close to my neck, he pinned me to the wall, using all of his strength. "Aurora.. go, now!" I yelled, and I kneed him in a very uncomfortable place, and the knife hit the ground, and I quickly kicked it away.. holy shit..

I grabbed the knife and ran with it to Miss Harper and she called the cops.

I watched him as he withered in pain.. he was sch a bad , bad person.. I slowly leaned against the wall and sat down, scared.. my life flashed before my eyes..

The cops came and arrested Eric, and I sat in the bathroom, scrubbing the places where he kissed me and I sobbed quietly.

I sat on her bed, and I heard sobbing.. I gently knocked on her bathroom door.. "Aurora.. "

I stood up and washed my face, then I opened the door, staring up at him. "Thank you." I whispered hoarsely.

I pulled her into a tight warm hig, wanting to comfort her the best I could..

I sighed and closed my eyes, hugging him back. My heart warmed as he hugged me and I found that I never wanted to leave the warmth of his arms.

"Are you okay?"I asked her, still holding her in my arms. When I got there, he was kissing her sloppily every where.n whe probably felt so violated also..

I nodded and hugged him a little tighter. "Yeah.. I'm fine.. Wouldn't be the first time that's happened.." I looked up at him. "Are you okay?.."

"He wont do that anymore.. ill make sure of it." I said, and I nodded at what she said next. "Yes, im okay.."

"I cant believe that I was willing to give him what he wanted.." I let go of him. "But I would have, if that meant saving your life.."

"Im.. not worth that. I would have taken that knife in the gut, instead of him having his way with you." I said.

I looked up into his eyes. " I'm not worth that. " I whispered.

"Hey.. but you are." I said. "I would have owed that to you agter what Ive done over the years.."

I shook my head. "You don't owe me anything." I gently took his hand.

I just nodded slowly.. I kissed her hand softly, before letring it go. "I think they are serving lunch now.." I said, completely off topic. And I slowly made my way to the door.

I didn't feel like eating. I had completely lost my appetite when Eric kissed me. I watched as he left, then I went and laid down.

After lunch, I sneaked a few cookies, and.I headed back to her room, knocking softly, and going in. "Hey.. I have cookies."

I looked up at him and smiled, slowly sitting up. "Thanks.."

I handed her a couple, and I sat on the ground, my back agsinst the bed. "There was Almost no food.." I said.

I sighed and took a small bite. "We're all going to starve." I said sadly.

"Another reason why I want to leave." I said softly, taking a bite of my cookie.

I didn't answer, I just laid back and looked up at the ceiling.

I looked up at her and sighed. "Hopefully it will get better.. " I said softly, and I looked down.

"Hopefully." I answered, looking down at him. When our eyes met, I felt butterflies in my stomach and I smiled slightly, looking away.

I slowly stood, and sat on the bed beside her. I poked her side smiling, "Someone's blusshinng..."

I blushed even harder and I covered my face with my hands. "No I'm not.."

"You arrreee." I teased, and I hugged her. "Aw youre shyy..." I teased once more, laughing.
