I begin to cry. I don’t know this man at all. He isn’t my Andrew, the man I have been seeing for a few months now. He’s a complete stranger to me. Andrew leans down, and grabs my head forcing his lips on mine. I smack at him to stop and try to pull away but it’s no use, Andrew is a big man and my efforts are useless. I scream as he spreads my legs and begins to unzip his jeans. This is not happening!
“Stop!” Tyler yells from the floor. “I’m calling the police!”
At hearing that, Andrew stops and looks down at Tyler. When he sees the active call on the screen he gets up and throws the phone against the wall. After a few hard kicks in Tyler’s side, he then turns to me and gives me a healthy slap across the face. He smacks me so hard I scream from the sting.
“You’re a filthy little whore. I thought I could trust you, but you’re just like every other bitch with a pussy!” I flinch from the venom I hear in his words. He points down to Brad and Tyler looking up at us from the floor. “This is on you, Lauren. You better be careful.” He threatens before quickly leaving.
After he exits my bedroom, I slowly follow him down and lock the door behind him. Then as fast as I can, with my bed sheet wrapped around me, I run back up to check on the guys. I find then slowly sitting up, grimacing from the pain.
“Oh god! I’m so sorry!” I kneel down beside them.
“No, this isn’t your fault.” Tyler assures me.
“Fucking idiot has been getting too close to that criminal uncle of his.” Brad adds.
Tyler shakes his head. “That man is bad news.”
“I don’t know who he is.” I reply. I’ve never met his family.
They both look at me and I see the worry in their eyes. “You need to stay away from him.” Tyler advises.
I nod, that is pretty obvious. “You two need to go to the hospital.” They shake their heads and are adamant that they will not go. “When will the police get here?”
Tyler slowly stands and Brad follows. “They’re not.” He answers.
“But you said you rang them.” I look between them, scared and confused.
“I lied.” Tyler replies. “If I hadn’t he would have raped you.”
“If we would have rang the police, we wouldn’t live to tell the tale.” Brad grimaces as he walks out of my room.
“What?” I ask. This is all sounding ridiculous.
“Look Lauren, Andrew isn’t a good guy. He was a good guy, before he started hanging around with his uncle.” He places a hand on my shoulder.” If I were you, I’d get away for a little bit.”
“Or forever,” Brads adds as he walks down the stairs.
I follow them both, all three of us quiet. As soon as they are gone, I have a minute to myself on the sofa. A noise from outside the door makes me jump and I make a quick decision. I run back to my room and pack a suitcase as quickly as I can. I will reply to my sister’s friend once I get to the airport because I am going back home.
Chapter 1
A few months later
I sigh as the plane hits American soil and walk off with regret. As usual I can’t help myself where Maisy is concerned and fuck everything up. I actually wanted to stay in England this time because even though I treat my sister like shit, I do love her and my parents, of course I do. Plus there’s the added worry of Andrew while I’ve been away. Between him and returning to my childhood home, I didn’t want to come back here, but I caused a lot of shit for my sister. Fuck, I nearly killed her and risked her relationship with her boyfriend Max, who is a gorgeous rock star. I just couldn’t resist. However, unlike the other men in her life, Max was different and wasn’t interested in me. I could see he loved my sister and it turned into a game for me. My parents finally saw me for what I am and literally threw me onto the next plane back to America. Now here I am shit scared Andrew will come looking for me. If my family knew why I ran home in the first place rather than thinking I came home to spoil Maisy’s birthday, they probably wouldn’t have been so
