THE BOY NEXT DOOR✓ EPISODE 82

I let out a scared whimper and his smile widens. He is a sadist. He looks like he's already getting off when I'm terrified. "Please don't hurt me." I beg and he grins again. "It will hurt, pretty. I will be doing your future boyfriend a favour though. He won't have to go through the hustle of breaking through that stupid barrier." My mind barely registers what he is saying. My heart is thudding and my tears are flowing ceaselessly. Please God don't let him hurt me. My prayer is quickly deemed futile when he holds my singlet at the neck and rips it apart. I scream and hold on to my chest, trying desperately to cover my breasts but he slaps my hands away. He is at least five times stronger than me so there's no way I can fight him. He takes the ripped piece of cloth from my vest and proceeds to shove it into my mouth in a makeshift gag. Jay has no idea where I am and the rest of my friends were on the field when I was kidnapped so I have no hopes whatsoever of anyone saving me. He is going to do whatever he wants with me then kill me once he is satisfied. He holds both my hands in one of his on top of my head and I scream once more when he gets his phone from his pocket. My voice is however muffled by the gag and I watch helplessly as he takes pictures of my bra clad boobs. Tears stream silently down my face when I imagine my mom seeing those. I know for a fact that he is going to use the pictures to either blackmail me, or make them go viral. I'll simply die. Satisfied with his photography, he sticks his phone back in his pocket then turns his attention to me. He smiles, his fingers tracing the lacy edge of my bra and my body shudders in horror. All my stupid fantasies of giving my virginity to someone I love go through the window and I give up with the struggling. He seems to like it better when I fight him. His fingers move to undo the button on my jeans and then...... He flies through the air and lands on the wall opposite me with a thud. A second later, a shadow moves to him and hits him hard. I'm lying there motionless, watching as my assailant is pounded like crazy. He is equally strong and I watch in horror my saviour is overturned. Now is his turn to get beaten and I'm just lying there like a useless potato, totally immobile. "Bella." Someone breaths and I'm being pulled up, encircled in warm hands, my body being pressed into a hard body. "Are you okay?" I look up when I recognize Zac's voice. Feeling grateful and relief washing through me, I sink into his embrace, caring less about my state of undress. I turn to look at the fight just in time to see Kain heaving my kidnapper off...Ethan? What? So it was Ethan who saved me? He has been beaten up and his face is bruised yet again because of me. Seems like I will be the death of him. George quickly bends over Ethan to asses the mess on his face while Kain deals with the assailant. By dealing, I mean punching the crap out of him. He is so angry and he drives his fist into the strangers jaw over and over again. Kain's muscles are taut and his jaw is tense and he continues beating him up even after his bloodied self falls on the floor in a deep faint. "Kain, leave him now. He is unconscious." Jay yells from the doorway and Kain freezes. He turns to throw a hateful look at Jay then he kicks the enemy in the ribs. Hard. "Stop it! Do you want to kill him?" Zac shouts at him and Kain sighs heavily before he drops the limp body on the floor. His eyes move to Jay who takes a step backwards from the animosity in them. If I was in his position, I'd probably pee on myself. "I'm sorry man. I have no idea when she was taken. She was right there beside me all along." He explains quickly but Kain perfectly ignores him. "I thought she was beside me...' Jay continues and George narrows his eyes at him. "Jay, shut the fuck up. You had one job and you blew it." "He is innocent. He didn't see me being dragged away." I say feebly and Kain finally turns to look at me. His eyes are hard and cold but they grow dark with an emotion I don't understand as he takes in my state. Without a word, he takes off his football Jersey and walks to me. I'm still naked from waist upwards save for the bra but no one seems to have noticed that yet. Zac automatically releases me when Kain gets to us and I'm in Kain's arms the next moment. This is the second time I an so close to him; the first being earlier today when we slept on his bed. There's a soothing comfort in his arms and I am certain of one thing, I am untouchable when he is holding me like that. No one can dare hurt me because he is going to protect me. He slips the jersey over my head and I wear it gratefully. It's at least two sizes too big but who cares? It has a strong manly scent since he's been running all over the field in it but surprisingly, my heartbeat picks up a little bit from it. Why am so excited anyway? He pulls me close to him and I rest my head on his broad naked chest. I'm surprised at how hard and outlined his chest and belly muscles are and I'm certain that that's one of the reasons girls go crazy when they see him. "Are you hurt?" He asks quietly while tipping my face up to look at him. "No. But he has.....something..." I break off, looking at all the boys crowding the small space looking at me with questioning eyes. His brow creases. "What does he have?" "Ummh.." I bite my lip and gaze at his chest. He holds my chin and tugs it up until I'm looking at him. "Belle, trust me. What does he have? I'll do anything for you." He sounds serious and I immediately decide that I do trust him. "He took pictures of me. Naked." I blurt out and he grits his teeth angrily. "Jay? Get me that fucker's phone." He demands and when Jay finds it, Kain slips it into his pocket. Isn't that theft? George announces that Ethan is fine and in an awesome condition and I'm fiercely glad that he and Kain might start getting along for once. I mean, both of them took part in saving my ass so they should at least stop being up each other's asses. As we pile out of the old deserted ablution block with Kain's arm wrapped securely around my waist, I notice Cara standing there looking a bit lost. "Let's go." George, who is supporting Ethan with one arm, orders and she falls into step with Jay. "How did you find me?" I ask Kain who passes Cara a quick glance before replying. "Cara knew what Tatiana was planning so she kept her eyes on you. She alerted Ethan when she saw you being dragged away. By the time she told me what was happening, Ethan already had your back. I think I owe him one." I smile despite myself. A step forward, none backward. A/N In my country, football and soccer is one and the same thing. I hope that clears the confusion.
