Against my will (continued 2)

Jessie can to the bathroom and hid in one of the stalls until 1st hour had begun. Her eyes were puffy and red, her cheeks were tear soaked and pink-ish. She rested her head in her hands while she listened to the last bell sound to start 1st hour. She sat there for a while wondering what she should do. "Should i stay in here all day? I could do that." Should thought to herself. "Should i try to go to class? I could do that do but i look terrible." She thought. "Should i just call mom to come pick me up?" She got out her cell phone and dialed five numbers but then she decided to hang up. "I can do this." She tried her eyes and the last reminisce of tears under her eyes and walked out of the stall. She looked at herself in the mirror and looked at her tear soaked face. "Wow." She said out loud. She took a few paper towels, got them damp with cool water and dabbed them on her face. It was nice and refreshing and it made her look a little bit better. She grabbed her books and headed to class. 1

Since Jessie hadn't gotten much sleep in the last 2 days, she started drifting off to sleep. She would bob her head and then wake back up and then finally just put her head down on the desk. Soon, she was fast asleep. While she was asleep, her mind was still working, coming up with all sorts of dreams. One in particular. She was walking down the halls of her school when she saw Brad, she smiled at him and he ran at her and shoved her in the wall and held her arms up against the wall. He kissed her face and started doing what happened in the car that night. In the dream, Jessie was crying out for help and she finally woke up screaming. Everyone in the class was looking at her. "Jessica?" The teacher asked. "Are you alright or do you need to be excused?" "No, I'm fine, I'm sorry, just a bad dream." She tried to play it off. The class giggled softly. She was so embarrassed, she pulled the hood of the hoodie over her head and tried to follow along what the teacher was saying. For the rest of the hour, Jessie faded in and out of day-dreaming. Then the bell rang, she grabbed her books and headed out the door. On the way down the hall, she shuffled her feet and walked at a steady pace when suddenly an arm went around her shoulder. Her heart began to beat faster. "Please don't let it be Brad!" She pleaded to herself. She looked over and it was Chris who had his arm around her, walking along side Erin and Jamie. Jessie let out a deep sigh of relief. "Hey girl, where you been?" Chris asked half concerned and half playfully. "Um...home." Jamie got on the other side of her and linked arms. She got close and whispered in her, "i want you to immediately call me after school ends? K?" Jessie nodded her head. "I love ya." Jamie said giving her a side hug. "I love you too." Chris, Erin and Jamie all went a different way to their class and Jessie went to a different part of the building to work on the paper. The rest of the day was very mellow, and hard for Jessie to get through. She saw Brad twice and almost burst into tears those times but she just walked in a different direction. 2

After school was over, she called Jamie. "Hello?" "Hi." "Hey sweetie pie. Ok, you have to talk to me. What happened on Friday night with Brad? I'll beat his little pussy ass if he hurt you." Jamie threatened. Jessie felt tears swell up in her eyes and she sat down on a bench by her car. "Jamie...i just...i can't...i don't know how...he..." She said in between sobs. "Oh honey..." You could hear the major concern in Jamie's voice. "Take a deep breathe." Jamie suggested. Jessie stopped, whipped her tears and i took a long, deep breathe in and let it slowly out. "Oh my God Jamie, i don't know what to do anymore? I want to kill myself." "Oh god don't!" "You have to help me, i just...don't know what to do!" "Sweetie, what happened?" "He...he...he raped me!" Jessie finally blurted out. There was a long, long silence on the phone. "Jamie, I'm so sorry!" "Oh god honey, you have nothing, not a damn thing to be sorry about! Nothing!" Jamie's tone was concerning but angry. "I don't know what to do!" "It'll be ok honey, i promise, will get him taken care of." "No! You can't tell anybody!" Jessie started panicking. "Jessica Lynn Shaw, we are not going to keep this a secret, there is no fucking way in hell that we are going to let this fucker walk. Either you tell the police or i will." Jamie's tone was furious but not towards Jessie. "Ok." Jessie said softly. "I mean it, don't for one second think that this is your fault, or that you shouldn't tell anybody because of how it'll make you look or what Brad might do." "I know." "When you go to tell the police, I'm coming with you." "Ok." "When do you want to go?" "As soon as possible." "Done. Where are you?" "I'm by my car, I'm sitting on a bench." "Ok, i like just left the school but I'll turn around and I'll be there in like 5 minutes. K?" "Ok." "Jessica...you are my best friend and i love you, you know that right?" "Yes." "And you know that i will always be here for you, no matter what right?" "Yes." "Good. Ok, I'll see you in a little bit." "Ok. Jamie?" "Yea?" "Thanks." "You're welcome babe. Bye." "Bye." 3

In five minutes, Jamie pulled up in her car and Jessie got in. "After we report it, I'll just drive you back to your car. So, Jamie and Jessie drove the police station and Jessie told the police everything.4
