Outside the window was pavement and buildings and to Brittney everything seemed so dark and unknown. It wasn't long before Brittney's mind returned to the night before. She had been so happy about coming home and now she wasn't so sure.
Brittney snaped on her seatbelt and beofre long her ears were popping and they were in the air. Her mind once more returned to the night before. Josh had always been sweet and so nice to her, she just didn't get it. Plus he could probably have any girl in the whole school. Why did he want Brittney?
It was one of the most scariest experances of Brittney's life. Her mind flashed back to his face and the anger and persistance that showed on it. It was like, he had all of a sudden gone mad. You read magazines and in papers and see it on the news.... but when it happens to you, you panic. Your not thinking of safety skills, you just want to be out of there. "Is that what he tried to do?" Brittney thought. Did he try to rape me? Thankn goodness nothing like that happened and I got out of there when i did! What would have happened if I didn't get out? What whould have happened if he hit me even harder and I couldn't get away?"
Brittney started shaking again, as she felt a tear falling down her cheek. She quickly wiped it off as she was scared someone would see her cry. While watching the clouds pass by, I Will Come To You rang through her head phones, and soon Brittney was asleep.
"Josh stop it!!" she cried and cried again. But nothing seemed to work. She looked around... the whole basketball team, including Brock stood saying "You slut" and then the front door swung open and Tay was standing there.
"Brittney how could you? I loved you so much... you meant everything to me! Well, it's to bad causenow I love Amber, she better to me! I met her in NY, right after Josh told me about the night you went to the movies. That's right, I know everything, you must think I'm pretty stupid.... well newsflash, I knew all along!" And with that he slamed the door while Brittney ran into it saying "No, you don't understand!" But the door wouldn't open. And once more the B-Ball team chanted "Slut, slut" as Josh came closer.
"What?" Brittney cried as she jumped in her seat. "Oh man!" she sighed, relived it was just a dream.
She had been acting like a zombie for the past day. Not knowing what to do or didn't care. It seemed like everything reminded her of that incident. It had taken her 20 minutes after Josh left to get down stairs in fear that he was still in the house. She fixed the tossed cousions on the couch then went to lock the door. She walked upstairs into the bathroom to wash her tear stained face. Brittney had never felt like this before. Scared, and sad, and lonly, very mad and guilty. Maybe she led him on. Maybe she should have told him the night of the movies to back off.
By the time karen got home Brittney ahd gone to bed. The next morning she claimed she was tired and needed her sleep before going on her trip. The truth was Brittney didn't sleep at all and after seeing the bruse on her sholder she had fainted. Luckily she woke up before her aunt got home. But she was far from fine and needed someone, someone named Taylor.
