Hi, my name is Cheyanne Collins and I just turned 18. I have bright greenish blue eyes and straight black hair that is short in the back and long on the sides with blue highlights.
I have spent the last two and a half months without my best friend, Darren O'Connor. He is the most popular guy at school and I'm the only one that truly knows the real Darren.
At school everyone thinks of him as a player and always wonders why he hangs around me. Well, you could say I'm one of those quiet girls that keeps to herself and tries to stay in the shadows, away from eveyone.
There are only two weeks left in suumer vacation before Senior starts and I can't wait till Darren gets back from visiting his dad.
He always visits his dad during the summer for about a month, but this time his father wanted him too stay two and a half months because this was his last time to see Darren before he went off to college.
Living with my Aunt Robin is awesome because it's just me and her or if her boyfriend comes over to visit. But lately I have been missing Dare (that's my nickname for him) real bad.
The good thing about being friends with Dare is that guys are smart not to mess with you when he is around, but over the summer I met a guy named Marcus while hanging out with my friend Tess and her boyfriend Leo at the mall.
We would hang out together with my friends sometimes and then that's when things started to get out of hands. Marcus had aksed me out once or twice and each time, I had turned him down because I was secretly in love with someone else.
Leo was always there to step in if things got out of hand and I was thankful that he would do that for me. Plus I know that Dare had asked Leo to keep an eye on my while he was gone.
Today was the day that Dare was supose to come home. I made sure that the whole house was clean and that we had plenty of food to eat cause knowing Dare, he was going to want to pig out.
My Aunt left to go spend the day with her boyfriend so me and Dare could catch up. She was the best aunt you could ever ask for.
After putting on a pink v-neck shirt and skinny jeans, I heard the door bell ring. 'Dare wasn't supposed to be here for another thirty minutes' I thought out loud to myself.
Skipping out of my room, I went to answer the door. But what happend next I never saw coming and let's just saw neither did my friends.
With a smile on my face I slowly opened the door. I frowned when it wasn't Dare. It was Marcus. At that moment I felt my heart start to beat faster and my stomach drop to the floor.
"He-y, ho-t stu-ff," Marcus slurred.
OMG is he drunk? "Marcus what are you doing here? Are you drunk?" I asked getting a little scared.
He stepped into the house and swayed a little before he tried grabbing my wrist, but I moved away before he could.
"Marcus do have you someone who can come get you?" I asked, but he just stared at me.
Before I could realize what was happening, Marcus grabbed my waist pulling me into his chest. As he started kissing me I wiggled out of he grip and push him away from me.
I stepped away from Marcus fearing that because he was drunk he would do something stupid.
As I moved away I felt my back touch the wall. Oh crap, I'm trapped with nowhere to go and Marcus knew that cause he pressed his body to mine.
"Come on Cheyanne I know you want me. Why don't we go back to my place and have a little fun?" Marcus said kissing me.
The kiss was hard and demanding as his grip on my waist tightend. I started getting really scared as tears threatend to come out.
The only thing I knew to do was to knee him where the sun don't shine, and I did. As soon as my knee hit him, Marcus let go and fell to his knees breathing hard.
Maybe if I can get to my room and call Dare then everything will be alright. So I ran to the stairs only to be knocked to the ground by Marcus.
He pinned my arms above my head with one hand as his other trailed down my leg and stopped at my butt. Then his hand moved up to the bottom of my shirt as he started to pull it up.
I started kicking at him. "Please stop!" I begged him.
He slapped he so hard that my lip started to bleed and I could taste blood in my mouth. Tears streamed down my face as he started to unbutton my jeans while kissing my neck.
Slowly he let go of my hands and started pulling down my jeans and as soon as I got the feeling back in my arms I clawed at his arms.
"Let me go! Please stop!" I cried out trying to sit up.
This only made him smirk just before he slapped me again even harder sending me flat on my back for the second time.
I lay there feeling dizzy, while I could feel him slide me jeans off. I sobbed loudly and screamed out for someone to help me.
Then I thought I heard my name. Marcus looked up long enough for me to get up and start running towards the door.
"Get back here you bitch!" I could hear Marcus yell from behind me.
Inches from the door I felt Marcus yank me backwards. My back hit his chest knocking the wind out of me. He put a hand over my mouth and the other around my waist.
"If you don't want to get hurt then I suggest you shut up," he growled in my ear.
"Let her go Marucs before you become the one that's hurt," a familiar voice said.
I looked up to see Leo standing there in the doorway with his fists clenched and an angry look on his face.
Marcus let me go and I fell to the floor with no strength in my legs and crawled to the nearest corner.
"Tess, take Cheyanne upstairs to her room and lock the door behind you," Leo said.
Tess pulled me up and we went upstairs to my room. She locked the door and we sat in the corner together. Tess hugged me while I cried on her shoulder.
Downstairs I could hear yelling, things breaking and then it got quiet, too quiet. Tess looked at me and I nodded my head for us to go see what happend.
I winced in pain as Tess helped me up. Unlocking the door we slowly crept down the hall and down the stairs. Then I heard my name being called and was about to start running back to my room when I realized it was Dare's voice.
I looked up and noticed Dare standing in the hallway with Leo beside him and Marcus out cold on the floor. He looked at me and I knew that he could see the hurt in my eyes.
"Dare!" I cried out running towards him.
"It's alright Annie," he said, using my nickname. "I'm here baby girl, no one is ever going to hurt you again, I promise," Dare told me.
Dare wrapped his arms around me protectively, pulling me softly against his chest. I was shacking and sobbing loudly.
In the corner of his eye Dare could see Leo holding Tess close to him. Eventually they left after we gave our statements to the police.
The police arrested Marcus and took him away, leaving me and Dare alone in the house.
Slowly Dare lifted me up bridal style in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and sobbed into his shoulder.
Dare carried me into the kitchen sitting me on top of the counter. Opening the freezer up Dare pulled out a bag of peas and handed it to me.
I took the bag and put it on my left cheek that was alredy starting to bruise.
Taking a cloth towel from a drawe, Dare cleaned the blood away from my lip. I winced as he did so.
While I sat there on the counter I called my aunt and told her what happend and that she didn't need to worry because I was with Dare now.
My aunt told me to thanked him and said that she would be home tomorrow morning and that Dare was free to stay in the guest room if he wanted.
Normaly Dare would go home where he lives with Leo and only stay the weekend with me, but after what happend I knew he was afraid to leave me alone.
"I'm so glad you're back Dare, but please don't ever leave me again," I said with tears rolling down her face.
Dare stood between my legs and gently grabbed my face in his hands making our eyes lock.
"I will never ever let you go again Annie, I promise," Dare said as he lightly kissed my lips.
I watched as Dare put the peas away and washed the cloth towel in the sink.
Dare had long straight black hair with bangs pushed to side of his face over his left eyes which were a bright aqua blue.
He also had blond streaks in his hair because when I got my hair done I didn't want to go alone so Dare went with me.
"Do you need any help up to your room to change or can you make it on your own?" Dare asked trying not to show how angry he felt.
I took a deep breath, wipping away the tears from my face and said, "Umm, I'm not sure."
He took a step back and watched as I slowly slide off the counter.
When my feet hit the floor I stood there for a few seconds not moving until my smile went from happy to sheer pain.
Dare caught me before
