Chapter 55 ANN PAST (7): WHY?, MOM.
Ann gradually regained her consciousness as she opened her eyes. She felt a sharp pain in between her legs and she quickly sat up only to realize she was stark naked beneath the duvet. She pulled the duvet up to chest, to cover her boobs from being seen if anyone had to burst into the room.
Panic rise in her chest as she tried to recall all what happened to her. She tried to get out of the bed in a hurry to leave but the pains between her legs kept getting worse and she took off the duvet to check what was causing the pains only to see the stains of her blood on the bed. Her heart broke into a million pieces as she had a flashback of what happened last night; How Lorenzo had drugged her and sold her as a sex slave to the two men who had raped her last night. Having a well detailed memories of what happened last night, she felt disgusted by herself. She ran her hand through her disheveled hair, Feeling so ashamed of herself for being such a fool and a tool. She brought her hand up to her face, staring at them as tears overflowed from her eyes down to cheek. She sniffled in and closed her eyes to allow the tears to freely float out. She could never imagine Lorenzo could ever do this to her, she felt like her life was over after the love of her life had successfully broken her heart and her trust at the same time. She was confused as to what to do, whether she should inform the cops or what? But then, she doesn’t has any prove against Lorenzo, neither does she knows the identity her rapist.
Ann clumsily climbed out of bed, she felt a relief that no one was in the room but just her. She picked her dress from the ground up to wear them but they were ruined, there is no way she could wear it since it has been shredded into two pieces. She staggered back and sat on the bed then buried her face on her palm. She was so confused about what to do, what to say to her parents and what to say to Silver about Lorenzo. Just in one day, a bad decision ruined her entire life. She heaved a sigh of regret all over again and over again as she stood up from the bed, she wobbled to the bathroom as she couldn’t bear to be covered by the sperm of her rapist. It was so disgusting to her, her whole body disgust her. She pushed the door to the bathroom, opened and entered inside then turned to look at the mirror. She was looking so horrible, her brownish hair was splattered on her pale face and she quickly flipped it back using her hand just to see her face. She had a dark circle around her eyes and her neck has bruises all over it, especially her nipples from the sharp pinch he gave her last night which was still hurting. Her lips were dried and had a slit opening in the middle, probably because of how rough one of them had kissed her last night. She spat into the sink and turned on the tap. She cupped her hand and filled it with water before she splashed it on her face then begins to sob as she stared at herself in the mirror, laying curses on herself for being such a fucking fool. She knew she wasn’t herself last night, the drug she drank took over her sense of thinking that she couldn’t realize what she was doing and right now all she could think of was to curse herself.
“I am a fool! I am an idiot for trusting you Lorenzo!! I gave you my heart and you gave me a thousands of reasons to hate you”. She vented her anger by yelling at herself in the mirror while she concentrated all her anger into her fist and then threw a punch at the mirror which made it break into pieces and painfully pierce into her knuckles. She gasped out loud as her hand began to bleed. The pains in her hand were small compared to the pains in her heart.
“Why did you do this to me Lorenzo?”. She questioned as she cried in pain, She didn’t want to scream so someone won’t know she’s here and then forced himself on her again. The blood in her hand dribbled down to the ground as she walked to the bathtub. She was losing so much blood in the process so she turned on the shower to wash it away. The water drenched her body and washed out all the dirt. She cried below the shower with no strength to wash herself, she felt like she was gradually losing all her strength. She stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour before the bleeding stopped and she finally came out, looking so numb on her cold skin. She looked around searching for something to wear just to cover body so she could leave this place immediately but there was nothing around. She walked to the wardrobe and opened it, there she found a red dress and wore it without a second thought. The red dress was so indecent, it could barely cover her chest and thigh but there is nothing to do as it is better than to walk around naked. She braided her hair into two then walked to the nightstand and collected the drug that Lorenzo had given her last night before she left the room.
She was on barefoot as she tiptoed out of the hallway. She was lucky to have found everyone deeply asleep, the women were nowhere to be seen, only the men. She observed them all only to realize they were all dead and had blood floating out from their head. She had no idea what had happened when she was asleep so she quickly headed to the door before anyone caught her. Ann jumped from side to side to avoid the blood from touching her foot from the ground before she came out of the bar then boarded a taxi.
“Madam, your destination please?”. The cabman asked as he positioned the front mirror and it revealed a reflection of her boobs. He comfortably stared at it through the mirror and Ann quickly lifted the collar of the dress to cover her boobs immediately she noticed.
“UCLA”. Ann responded and the man smirked before he turned on the car engine and zoomed off without saying a word.
Few minutes later, they arrived at the school gate and the man stopped the car.
“Here we are madam, now pay me my money”. The man said as Ann got out of the car and slammed the door shut.
“I have no money”
“Pay me my money!!!”. The man demanded and outstretched his hand through the car window.
“Do you want me to scream and tell everyone your secrets?”. Ann asked just to threaten him as she was scared that he would come out and pick up a fight with her.
On Hearing that, the man quickly turned on his engine and zoomed off.
‘So he really has a secret?’. Ann wondered but shove the thoughts off her head as she was lucky that it was able to scare him off. She pushed the gate open and walked in, heading to her hostel. She felt something hard hit the back of her head and when she turned to see what it was, she heard someone yelling at her,”You are shameless”. The girl who threw a small ball at her said with a disgusting look on her face, staring at her as if she was trash that needed to be taken out. She wondered why the girl was calling her names and chose to ignore because she thought the girl was trying to get her attention but then everyone started throwing trash at her and also laughed while pointing fingers at her for no reason.
“I can’t believe you got the nerve to show your face here!”. One of them yelled.
“She’s a cheap whore”. Another one yelled and all of them laughed.
“And she looks so innocent”. Another girl said in disgust.
“Hey girl, can i fuck your pussy for free or was the money not enough for you?”. A guy mocked and everyone laughed.
At that point, Ann knew something was wrong, could it be that they know what all happened to her last night?’ She shook her head in disapproval, that can’t be possible. Her whole reputation will be ruined if that happens. People will question her character, her name and wouldn’t care to hear from her side story, probably because she’s a woman and they will think she did all that for money.
She lowered her head to avoid people’s gaze around her while she ran to the hostel to get her phone and purse before she immediately left the hostel and boarded a taxi home.
She paid the taxi man immediately when he arrived at her house before she stepped out of the car and went in.
“Hello, is anyone home?”. She asked as she knocked repeatedly at the door till it opened and her mother came out, looking so furious. “Hey, mom”. Ann force a fake smile just to hide all her pains from her mother, when she saw her.
Her mom glared at her hard then lifted her hand and slapped her immediately,”I should have aborted you when your father told me to”. She said in rage and Ann gasped in shock while holding her cheek. She looked back at her mom with tears instantly clouded in her eyes before she uttered two words in a questioning tone.
