I wake up. I feel very dizzy. I am on the ground and there are puddles surrounding me. It is dark. I look down at my body. I am naked. I think to myself "Why the hell am I naked?" I look around trying to find if anyone is there. I have so many questions. I then try to find my phone. It is so far. I see a shard that is glowing green. I pick it up, going to throw it to get any by-standards attention to let them know that I'm in this dark alley in deep pain. I feel a burning on my hand. I then feel a rush of power through my body. I then become VERY weak. A little weaker than I was before. I keep the stone. But when I go to put it in my backpack that has been ripped apart. When I let go of the shard, I have a burnt-like mark on my hand where the shard was placed in my hand. I ignored the burn on my hand, and then reached for my cell phone, I felt a massive pain in my ribs as I leaned to get my cell phone. I groaned in pain and held my ribs. Some may have been broken. I don't know. I then dial the numbers 9-1-1.

"Hello, you have contacted the Police Station, how may I help you?" the receiver said.

"H-hi, I am Gabbie Moreli and I have just been raped" I stumble to say the word raped. "And, I'm in deep pain. I am I-in an alley way, between the old Carpet Cleaners st-store, and the old nail salon, on Edwin Drive." I stumbled to tell the receiver.

"Ok, I'm sending Police, and an Ambulance right away, they should be there soon, hold in there. And how old are you sweetie?" she asks.

"I am 16." I say with my voice cracking.

"Okay dear." The receiver says. I then hear sirens getting closer and closer. I then saw men coming near me with a stretcher. They picked me up as carefully as they could, but I still got pain in my ribs. They were taking me out of the alley, and there were tons of people gathered around, but held off by officers. I then heard my name yelled by a similar voice. "GABBIE!" it yelled, and I knew then, that it was Austin's voice. He then pushed through the crowd, and then got to the officers, he yelled my name and tried to get through the officers. Then Austin said, "I know her!" to the officers, and then the officers turned to me. I than shook my head a bit, which hurt. Then, the officers stepped aside, and let him through. He then ran to me like I've never seen him run before. He then was beside me. He grabbed my hand and I saw a tear drip down his face.

"It's going to be ok Gabbie! I'm here! It's going to be ok!" He promised me. I then felt warm, salty tears drip down my face and shook my head yes to Austin. I then heard my name called again. But this time, it was Skyler`s voice.

"GABBIE! OH MY GOD! GABBIE!" Skyler said and tried to get through the officers. "I KNOW HER GOD DAMMIT!" she yelled. The officers looked at me once again. And I shook my head, yes. She then ran to me like Austin did. She was crying hysterically. She then gave me a hug, and I groaned from the pain, and she said "Sorry Sorry Sorry…" they then tried to get into the ambulance with me. But the medics said "Sorry guys, you can't come, she needs room, and we have a lot of medics in here." They then sighed and got out of the ambulance, and then, as I was leaving, I could see out the back window, Austin rushing to his bike and getting on it. He was pedaling so fast. The whole rest of the way to the hospital, he rode his bike to the hospital, keeping up with the ambulance. He then followed them into the room I was staying at. He stayed with me the whole time I was there. He didn't leave at all. Except when he needed to use the bathroom. But, who can blame him? Even when he got tired because it was like 11:00PM he still stayed. He just rested his head in his chair he put next to my hospital bed. He was so sweet.

The next day, Austin arrived at 6:00AM, before I even woke up. He brought me flowers. My favorite flowers. Lilacs. How did he get LILACS?! They don't sell them around here. Hmm… Anyway, they were beautiful. They smelled gorgeous. They were so fresh.

"Good morning Gabbie." He said with a smile. I smiled back. "How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Pretty good. Still a little pain in my ribs." I said. Then suddenly, a nurse comes in.

"Uhh, Gabbie… you have a visitor." She said. And then stepped aside for Jake to come in. Jake looked so hung over. He reeked with the smell of alcohol. He came and sat in a chair on the other side of me, across from Austin.

"Hey Babe, Wuzzup? You look good." He said very drunk-like and then he burped. He chuckled because he burped. How immature.

"….IM DOING NOTHING! JUST SITTING HERE IN PAIN! AND YAH! I LOOK GOOD! IN BANDAGES?!" I exclaimed very angry.

"Hey man, you should just leave." Austin remarked to Jake.

"Dude, stay out of this. And, Gabbie, I'm sorry you're in pain." Jake said.

"AUSTIN CAN SAY WHATEVER HE DAMN WELL PLEASES! AND JAKE, YOU BETTER BE SORRY! YOU SHOULD BE MORE THAN SORRY! YOU! YOU! YOUUU! YOU DID THIS TO ME!" I said and tears streamed down my face. "AND IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY GUESSED! WE ARE THROUGH! NOW GET THE FRICK OUT YOU ASS!" I exclaimed with real anger. He then sighed and got up and left out the door. He slammed the door hard. I then burst out in tears. Austin then tried to comfort me.

"Thanks Austin. You're a true friend. You've been here the whole time. Thank you." I said passionately.

"No problem. I love you Gabbie. We've been friends since, what? Kindergarten? Yah." He said lovingly. And I smiled at him. "Gabbie, if you don't mind me asking, what were you doing in the alley, and why did u say to Jake, YOU CAUSED ME THIS PAIN!" Austin asked curiously. My smile then disappeared. I had to tell him some time.

"Austin…when we went off our separate ways, Jake and his senior friends followed me. Then, they…. pushed me into the alley…. and…. raped me…" I closed my eyes when I said they raped me. And then, I burst into tears. Austin sat there silently. When I burst into tears, he hugged me and comforted me. He also kissed my forehead and told me everything is going to be okay. And that's he's here and everything is fine. He seriously cared for me. I think I was in love with him. I KNEW I was in love with him.
