School was okay. Everything is feeling a lot better. Alexis is staying after school for some test she forgot to take so Sarah is driving me home because she also drove me and Alexis to school.

"Are you ready to see Austin?" Sarah asks.

"Not really." I say. Sarah pulls into my driveway and parks the car.

I get out of the car, and we walk over to Austin's house. I open the door, and look inside.

"Austin." I call out.

"I'm in the bathroom. I'll be out in a minute." I hear Austin say. Sarah and I walk inside and close the door. I walk into his living room, and I see Carter sitting on the couch. I grab Sarah's hand.

"I can't be here." I say to Sarah.

"I know. But you have to tell Austin." She whispers to me.

"Hi girls." Carter says taking a huge bite of a burger.

"Hi." I say really quiet.

"Hi." Sarah says. I hear the bathroom door open, and I see Austin. I let go of Sarah's hand, then walk over to hug Austin.

"Happy birthday." He says.

"Thank you." I say. I completely forgot it was my birthday. Oh my god.

"How are you?" He asks.

"Good." I say. He kisses me.

"That's good." He says.

"Why's Carter here?" I ask.

"He spent the night here. I don't know why. But he did." He says.

"Okay." I say. I look back at Carter and gulp.

"Are you okay?" Austin asks.

"Yeah. I'm fine." I say looking into his eyes and then I look away.

"What's wrong?" Austin asks.

"Nothing." I say.

"(Y/N) you're a horrible a liar." He says, he grabs my hand and squeezes it. "You never can look me in the eyes when you lie, so what's wrong?" He asks.

"She needs to tell you later." Sarah whispers.

"Why not now?" Austin asks. Sarah walks closer to Austin and I.

"It's about Carter." She whispers.

"Okay. Carter I'm gonna be up in my room with the girls." Austin says.

"Okay." Carter says. Austin grabs my hand, and we walk up to his room.

I sit down on his bed, Sarah sits in his desk chair, and Austin sits next to me.

"Okay. Can someone explain to me what's going on?" Austin asks. I look at Sarah with a pleading look.

"As you know it's about Carter." Sarah says.

"Yes like you have already said." Austin says. He's starting to get antsy.

"Please turn on Austin's music really loud." I say. Sarah turns on Austin's music.

"Why are we doing this?" Austin asks me.

"I..." I start to say, but Austin cuts me off.

"You slept with Carter didn't you?!" Austin shouts standing up.

"No.." I say. I start crying into my hands.

"Then why the hell are you crying. I'm putting the pieces together. It's about Carter. The only thing is that you slept with him." Austin says.

"She didn't fucking sleep with him." Sarah says.

"Then what the hell happened?" Austin asks.

"Carter raped me." I say through my sobs.

"What?" Austin asks sitting back down next to me.

"Carter raped me." I say.

"No he didn't." Austin says.

"Yes he did." Sarah says.

"Yeah.." I say.

Austin shoots up off the bed, and starts running towards his bedroom door. I stand up and get in front of him.

"You can't go attack him." I say.

"Why not. He raped you!" Austin shouts.

"Because he said he would kill me if I told you." I say.

"He wouldn't do that." Austin says.

"Yes he would. Look at my stomach." I say. Austin lifts up my shirt and see the cuts from the knife last night.

"Oh my god." Austin says.

"Holy shit." Sarah says.

"I think he would kill me." I say.

"Can we get the cops to come and get him." He asks.

"I don't know." I say.

"Yes. We are calling the cops now." Sarah says reaching for her phone.

"I'm so sorry." Austin says hugging me. Sarah shuts off the music, and starts calling the cops.

"It's not your fault." I say.

"Yes it is." He says.

"No it's not. I should have locked the front door when I got home. But I didn't." I say. I look at Austin in the eyes and kiss him.

"I'm still sorry." He says.

"It's fine okay." I say. I kiss him again, and then we hear police sirens in the distance.

Austin and I run downstairs, and open the door for the cops. They run inside and grab Carter.

"What the hell is this?" Carter asks.

"Your under arrest for the rape of (F/N)." One of the cops say.

"I didn't rape her." Carter says.

"Yeah you did." I say. Austin walks over and punches Carter in the face.

"Austin stop." Sarah says.

"Babe." I say. I pull him off of Carter, and push him against the wall.

"I'm sorry." Austin says.

"It's fine. Just let them take Carter away, and then we can go get ready for that party that you planned. Okay." I say.

"Okay." Austin says. The take Carter out into the cop car, and take my statement, and they take pictures of my bruises, and the scratches on my stomach.

"Thank you ma'am." The cop says.

"You're welcome." I say. They get into there car and drive away.

"Party time!" Sarah shouts. Causing Austin and I to laugh.

"Leggo!" I shout.

"PARTAYYYY." Sara shouts. I laugh and so does Austin.

Even though all this shit just happened. I'm excited for my party.
