The Drug In Me Was You

Chapter 20

I laid violated on the ground. I was scared, and upset. Tears rolled down my face as I slowly rose to my feet. I didn't know what to do, did I rush over to Austin or did I leave, or did I... I didn't know. I tried and tried to regain my composure, to act like nothing had happened, but I couldn't.

I never thought in a million years Vic, of all people would do that to me I never thought he would rape me... I cringed at the thought. He seemed like such a sweet and innocent guy. He seemed like the guy that would do absolutely anything for anyone without even hesitating. But I guess I was wrong.

I looked around at my surroundings and saw Austin pushing Fallon on the swing. She was smiling brighter then the sun and his smile just the same. God I was so blessed to have those two in my life. I was so lucky to have him back, then Vic had to do that. I blinked through the tears and saw the unlicensed restroom in the distance.

I ran in there and looked at myself in the mirror, mascara streaming down my face. I looked a mess and had leaves strewn through out my hair. I picked and pulled them out, throwing them in the garbage can. I pulled the ponytail off my wrist and quickly threw my hair up. Then grabbing a paper towel and and dabbing my mascara away. I had to act like nothing had happened, I couldn't tell Austin what happened, at least not yet.

I stares at myself for a moment longer, trying to stop the tears from coming. I tried to think about Fallon, and how much she loved Austin. And how Austin was back in my life for good. But every single time I would catch myself smiling, the thought of Vic popped back into my head. I shook my head and smiled. Right about now people probably thought I was crazy. Just some girl standing against the sink crying and smiling in the mirror, I probably did look like a complete lunatic.

I grabbed my purse and rushed out the bathroom, over to where Austin was watching Fallon run around with the other kids. He was such a proud dad. And I was so proud of him.

I sat down cautiously beside him and just watched Fallon.

"Hey baby girl, how'd everything go?" He asked not taking his eyes off his daughter.

"Good, it was good." I said as my voice cracked. Shit.

"Are you okay? Have you been crying?" He said finally turning to face me.

"Um yeah I'm good, he just made me feel bad was all." I said.

"What'd he say? Because you know if he hurt you I'd kill him." He said with anger written in his voice.

"Just stuff along the lines of Austin isn't good for you, I would be a better dad to Fallon then he ever could, blah blah blah. Stuff like like." I said.

"What a prick. I'm an excellent father... Don't you think?" He asked, questioning himself more then he was questioning me.

"Of course you are Austin, you're amazing. And you mean the world to that little girl. No once could ever replace the spot in her heart she has special for you." I smiled, as he nodded.

"I just want her to be happy and I never want her to have to worry. I wanna be able to take care of her, and you." He said.

"I know honey, and you are." I said taking his hands.

"You ready to go home baby?" He smiled.

And I froze up... I had to tell him, or else it was going to eat me alive. I cleared my throat and looked him dead in the eye.

"Austin I need to tell you something." I whispered.

"What baby?" He asked smiling.

"Well me and Vic didn't just talk... He uh... He... Well." I tried to form a sentence but couldn't.

"What Phoenix, what did he do to you. Tell me. Right now." He demanded.

"Austin... He raped me." I stuttered out, as the tears rolled again down my face.

He looked me in the eye and those brown eyes that I knew and loved so dearly turned pitch black.. A side of him I had only seen once before.

"Take Fallon and go home." He said, in a tone of voice that I had never heard.

I nodded and grabbed our daughter as Austin gave her and I both a kiss.

Then stormed off to his car, peeling out the parking lot...

What was he going to do?
