26. Back to Campus

"Lilian! How are you? Sorry I bailed on you yesterday, Brad was having his issues and I don't want to talk about it." Diane greeted me as we walk to our class.

"I'm good D! Anthony and I went on a date yesterday. Then we ended up watching porn last night." I was whispering to her.

"Damn bitch! I never knew you had it in you! This is a real step up, from the holly virgin Lilian that I knew." She laughed at me, and we continued on to our class.

"So what are your plans after college D? It's going to be another couple of months from now." I asked her, feeling not sure about my own future at the moment.

"I don't know L, that's the thing. I'll probably take some freelancing job at a magazine, or an add agency. I honestly don't know. My dream is to be a photographer, and have my own studio, you know that already. How about you, besides maybe marrying that older hunk of yours?" She asked me giggling.

"Damn it D, don't put images in my head. It's dirty enough with the porn that he made me watched last night." I blushed at her.

"Come now Lilian, I'm so proud of you right now. You've come along way since your virginity...." She was still talking when Jack decided to show up, and give me the look. He didn't say anything, but his face shows it all as if he was disgusted with me.

"Fuck you Jack! go be with your whore!" Diane shouted at him. I took her hand and tried to calm her down.

"Come on let's just get to class. I got my drawings that I have to submit."

We had the same couple of classes in the morning, but she has to split for her photography class in the afternoon. So I decided to wait for her in the library. I love the smell of old books, I was sitting there texting to Anthony and smiling to my self.

"So, how have you been?" Jack took a seat beside me, knowing that I would never make a scene at the library.

Shit! Of course he knows my schedule, he knows I would be here alone! Damn it!

"Look Jack, please don't do this. It's over between us." I told him.

"Can we just talk outside, and I will never bother you again. Just once. Come on, at least you can give me that?" I sighed and followed him outside.

I was safe, there were a lot of people around. He wouldn't dare try anything with me, not with the threat looming over his head already. Anthony did ask our lawyer to set a restraining order against him last week. He shouldn't even be near me. I guess he didn't take it seriously, he never did take anything seriously.

"You do know, that there's a restraining order against you right? You shouldn't even get close to me." I told him, as I walk next to him.

"I know Lil, but I also know you. You're one of the good girls. I know you loved me once. At least give me a chance to explain." He pleaded to me.

"Okay. Then talk." He walked in front of me to one of the empty class. He was a brilliant student, one of the teacher's aide. That was one of the reason why I fell for him. So when he directed me to an empty class, I didn't consider it to be weird. But when he locked it, that was when my heart stopped for a beat.

"What are you doing?" My face paled instantly. He suddenly changed, his stance became predatory when he walked straight at me.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

"We're talking Lil. You used to like it when I locked the door behind us, so we can make out in one of the empty classroom." He grabbed me forcefully and forced his kiss to me.

I was in shock, panicking as fears sets in me. My adrenaline flowed as I lunged myself at him, putting all my strength to push him away. But he was stronger, he held me tight in his arms and roughly lifts me up to an empty desk then threw my bag away to the far corner.

I was whimpering under his touches, crying uncontrollably. "Please Jack, no! Don't do this. Please."

"I love you Lil, I still do. Please love me back. I promise you... I won't cheat again. Please Lil, I'm going crazy without you. I can't think of anything else." He started touching my breast kissing me forcefully, then he ripped my shirt. I could see it in his eyes, he had lost it. He took my hand, and guided it to his groin.

"I'm hard for you Lil, please do this for me. Please come back to me."

He started licking me, as I cry harder and his hands started to go down to my jeans.

"No! Please! Don't Jack. Don't do this, I'm on my period." He suddenly stopped, he looked angry. He pushed me, causing me to fall down and I could feel my head hit the edge of the desk and then it all went dark.

I woke up with a headache. I could feel the sticky liquid on my forehead. It was dark already, I must've fainted for hours.

Shit! Shit! Shit!

I could feel the air surround me. The cold air, the total silence, the smell of death, with a tinge of summer night and grass all mix into one.

I can do this. Relax. Let them come. Let them know you're not afraid. Just ignore them.

One. I see it. Relaxed Lilian, you already train yourself. You can do this. Inhale. Exhale. Look at them. Let them come. Focus on what Ann would say, what Walter had taught you.

I could feel the eerie surroundings, the chills, I was alive. I was still alive. I could smell the air, musty and damp. I was alive. I could do this.

Anthony. Bag. Phone.

The entity started to come for me. Whispering in my ear, circling me. There was another one crawling from the wall. I didn't know where I had the courage, but I faced them, I looked right into them as I tried to stand up.

Anthony. Bag. Phone.

Then I heard a loud noise, like someone was trying to open the door. It rattled forcefully.

Fuck! Jack! Shit! Shit! Shit!

It was all coming back to me. What if he was back, I panicked and started crying again. But then someone was yelling my name. Anthony? Diane?

"Damn it Lilian! Fuck!" Anthony was rushing towards me, but Diane was sprinting behind him.

"Damn it L, I was so worried about you, I've been looking all afternoon." She gave me a hug but quickly let me go, seeing the state that I was in.

"Jack." That was the only word that came out of me. Diane was livid.

"Anthony your jacket, give it to her. I'm going to find the first aid kit, we should get her to the hospital, or should we get the emergency unit people? where are those damn campus security. Fuck! Brad! Hurry find someone! I'll call the hospital." Diane was barking orders, Anthony stayed close to me covering my ripped shirt with his jacket. He kept on kissing me, holding me tight.

"I'm calling the cops informing them about Jack, and I'll call the lawyer to speed things up with the arrest. We're going to find him sweets, I'm so sorry this happened to you." Anthony stroked my hair keeping me close to his chest.

The paramedics arrived ten minutes later, they took me to the hospital for scans then clear me to go home that same night. They gave Anthony instructions, and told him to see any signs of nausea. Diane hugged me tightly, and told me that she'd visit tomorrow afternoon.

We were home half an hour later. I went to my room and took a quick hot shower then put on my pajamas, and went to his room and slipped under the cover. Anthony joined me under the cover, he had already taken a shower smelling fresh as I snuggled in closer to him.

He looked at me sad and worried, then he pulled me in closer and kissed my temple.

"I'm good Anthony. I'm better. I'm not that fragile anymore. I was just in shock. But I have you and Diane. Now, please kiss me I need to feel you, I need to forget about his touches." He slowly lower his lips to me, but I pulled him closer and kissed him deeply.

He started moaning my name making me forget about Jack. He started stroking my body, causing me to moaned his name.

"Thank you Anthony. I need this." I said moaning to his touches and kisses.
