Warning: this chapter contains mature themes.

We drive the rest of the way home pretty much in silence and as soon as we get in I race upstairs. I look at my phone and notice a message from Lachlan.

From Lachlan: Meet me in the abandoned cottage.

To Lachlan: Ok be there soon.

I make my way downstairs still dressed in my uniform. I pick up my phone and make my way downstairs mulling on my shoes.

"Where are you going?" Cain questions as I go to leave.

"Just into the village." I say knowing he would disapprove if he knew who I was meeting.

"Be back by 7 and stay out of trouble." He replies.

I slowly make my way there trying to dodge everyone in the village just in case they had heard about mum which they probably had since gossip spreads like wild fire around here. I arrive at the abandoned cottage and go inside seeing Lachlan already sat there.

"Anything interesting happen today?" Lachlan asks as I sit next to him.

"No not really, You?" I say choosing to lie about things with mum.

"Cain came round, apparently I'm bulling you." He tells me.

"What? I swear I'm going to kill him when I get home." I reply feeling a little embarrassed, of course it wasn't Lachlan he was my only friend.

"I thought I told you not to tell anyone." He says bitterly.

"Wait? It was you?" I question angrily as the realisation hits me.

"Don't pretend you didn't know Georgia, That's why you wouldn't sleep with me." He says as if it makes perfect sense.

"I didn't sleep with you because I wasn't ready. You know my mum might go to prision now." I tell him angrily.

"I did this for us Georgia because I love you." He replies.

"This Is some twisted kind of love, if you really did love me you wouldn't have done any of this." I shout at him.

"It's brought us closer, made us more mature. I bet your ready now." He says pulling me closer and trying to kiss me.

I push him off and try to make a run for it but he grabs my arm and throws me on the floor as I land awkwardly on my wrist.

"Bad Move Barton." he laughs and eveytime I try and get up he kicks me back over. He's sitting on top of me one hand up my skirt, one hand wandering my body.

"Help" I scream as loud as I can hoping someone would hear me. He slaps me across the face before clamping one hand over my mouth.

He beats me up until I can barely move anymore and then starts to unbutton my shirt. I summon as much energy as I can to fight him off but nothing seems to work.

"Stop fighting it Georgia you want this as much as I do." he tells me as he takes off my shirt and tosses it across the room before pulling down my skirt.

"Help!" I scream as loud as physically possible as Lachlan removes his hand from my mouth to undo his trousers.

"Vanessa, can you watch April I think I heard someone up there." I hear someone shout. Lachlan must have heard them too as he buttons his trousers back up.

"I'm Sorry, I love you." Lachlan says as he stands on my wrist before bolting out of the abandoned house.

I manage to pull up my skirt before Carly comes rushing in but I can't see my shirt and can barely move to have a look around. I shield my chest with one arm as she comes in. she takes off her jumper and helps me pull it on as she props me up against the wall.

"You're going to be alright, Ok. I'm going to call your mum." Carly tells me.

"Mum's not here." I tell her weekly.

"I'll call Adam." She says taking out her phone and dialling his number.

She puts her arm around me as I lay my weak head on her shoulder and stare into space until Adam arrives a few minutes later looking out of breath.

Adam picks me up off the floor and carries me out as I'm too weak to walk.

"I'm going to take you to hospital. Ok Squirt?" Adam says as we walk up towards his car.

"Not tonight, I just want to sleep." I say my heavy eyelids closing for a few seconds but as I picture Lachlan they quickly reopen and I become agitated.

"It's ok, you can sleep on the sofa." Adam tells me as I realise we are back at his cottage. Those few seconds must have been more like minutes.

"Don't go." I say a little scared as Adam stands up. He pushes the arm chair closer to me and sits in it before holding my left hand.

"I promise I'm not going anywhere." He says.
