Charlene made tea and sat down next to Gillian handing a cup of tea while she sipped hers. Gillian eyes were swollen from all the crying she assumed. She sighed heavily thinking what could she be crying about. She had already called Nicholas confirming that Gillian was at her place and she’ll be staying over.
‘Gillian?’ Charlene said quietly. Gillian for the first time she entered the apartment looked up. ‘Do you wanna talk about it?’
‘I-I don’t know… I… they… then…’
‘Hold on,’ she stopped Gillian. She didn’t get what Gillian was saying. ‘Take a deep breath and take it slowly, okay?’ she was really gentle and smooth when she spoke.
Gillian’s P.O.V
She was really glad that she came to Charlene. She didn’t want to go home. She had to tell someone about her problems. Taking a deep breath she began to tell Charlene the whole story about her real life nightmare.
‘Could you do me a favour?’ she asked. Charlene nodded. ‘Can you tell me a secret? Then I’ll have confident to tell you mine.’
She saw Charlene hesitate for few minutes. Then she sighed. ‘Okay,’ she looked straight into her eyes. ‘No body knows this except some close employees of mine. I own My Studio.’ Gillian was shocked. She assumed Daisy owned My Studio, as every other people would say. ‘No Daisy doesn’t own it,’ Charlene said as if reading her mind. ‘She’s just the manager.’ Gillian nodded. She believed Charlene, as she knew she wouldn’t joke about this. She felt confident now to begin…
*****************************Flash Back*******************************
Two years ago…
Gillian was walking down the corridor with all the guys drooling over her and all the girls jealous with envy. Her two best friends were walking along side her, MaiLin and Alice. They were the popular girls in school. They stooped in front of their lockers.
‘So, are you going to the party on Saturday?’ MaiLin asked her. They were all changing books for their last lesson.
‘You know I am!’ Gillian said.
‘It will be huge! And guess whom’ll be there?’ Alice chimed.
‘Who?’ she asked curious but she got the feeling that she knew whom Alice was on about.
‘Me!’ someone from behind shouted. Gillian jumped screaming. She then noticed it was no other than Leon Chan.
‘Leon Chan! You idiot!’ she shouted at him. ‘You scared me to death!’
‘Sorry, babe,’ he shrugged his shoulder innocently. ‘I just wanted to make sure if you’re coming to the upcoming party!’
‘Oh, I’ll be there, darling,’ she greeted the words out through her teeth.
‘Cool! I’ll see you there,’ with that he whistled away.
When he disappeared they all screamed of excitement. They jumped up and down hugging each other. He was the most popular guy in High School and was absolutely gorgeous.
‘He so likes you,’ Alice screamed at her.
‘I so know that!’ she tartly replied. ‘Girls lets go shopping!’
‘Yes!’ both MaiLin and Alice screamed together. They went on their way not bothering to go to their lesson.
Saturday came quick for Gillian. She was really excited. She wore the dress she got. A red leather dress that clung to her like her second skin and it flung well higher than her knees. She wore make up. She stepped into the mansion that held the party. All eyes were on her and her two friends. As usual the guys were drooling and the girls were jealous.
‘Do you think he’s here yet?’ MaiLin asked looking around. Gillian and Alice didn’t need to ask who. It was no other than Leon.
Alice not taking her eyes from the door she said, ‘He’s here now!’
Taking a quick glance at the door she turned her back on it. ‘Good! Now pretend we haven’t seen him,’ she ordered.
An arm wrapped around her shoulder. She tilted her head to look at Leon. ‘Looking sexy!’ he commented.
‘Thank you. Not bad yourself,’ she eyed him up and down.
‘Come, lets go,’ he quickly said. She stared at him.
‘Where?’ she asked curiously.
‘I wanna tell you a secret,’ he whispered in her ear. He saw the doubtful look on her face. ‘It’s going to be fun.’
She was still doubtful but let him drag her out. She looked back to see that MaiLin and Alice weren’t coming but standing there. She tried to stop but he was stronger. ‘What about me friends?’ she shouted through the loud music.
‘Don’t worry about them,’ he shouted back giving her his killer smile. She was mesmerised. She followed him outside the house, away from the party and near a lake far away from the noise. He stopped. She looked around inspecting the view. She frowned. Why would he bring her here? She thought worriedly. She had the feeling that she didn’t want to know.
‘What’s the secret?’ she asked uneasily. She was fiddling with her fingers nervously.
He chuckled coldly. It made her shiver inside. ‘Oh, come on,’ he laughed bitterly. ‘Why would a guy get a girl like you here?’ he questioned stepping closer to her. She pretended she didn’t get it. She didn’t want to think about it.
‘It’s chilly here,’ she changed the subject. ‘Lets go back in,’ she suggested.
‘Gil, Gil, Gil. How fun we’ll have tonight,’ he bitterly said.
‘I think I’m going to go back to the party,’ she quietly said. She turned to leave when he grabbed her hands and pulled her up to him. ‘Please let go,’ she pleaded. He just laughed.
‘You’re not going anywhere,’ he coldly said.
‘Let go of me!’ she yelled. ‘I’m not like the other girls!’
‘Pur-lease! Look at you!’ he spat. ‘Look how you are dressed!’
With that he began kissing her hard on her lips. She shut her mouth tight and struggled from his grip. He was losing his grip; he slammed her down on the ground. She had her chance to scream now. With the top of her lungs she screamed for help. But no sooner was his mouth on hers. She again struggled to get him off her.
Help me please, she prayed silently. She had stopped struggling. She was tired. Please, someone help me.
As if her prayers had been answered someone shouted, ‘Let go of her!’ It was a male voice.
Leon stopped kissing her and looked up. ‘What to you want?’ he yelled. She got a chance to look at her hero.
‘Let go of her,’ the guy repeated but this time his voice was calm.
Leon who didn’t make a move to let her go just looked at him. ‘Just get lost! This is my business.’
The guy grabbed hold of Leon’s shoulder and pulled him up harshly. ‘What the…?’ the guy didn’t let Leon finish his sentence as he lunged a punch at his face once, twice and three times. Leon fell on the ground unconscious. Shaking, she got up slowly to her feet. Tears were dropping down her cheeks.
‘Th…thank…you…’ she whispered. Her head was bowed.
‘Don’t thank me,’ the guy said. ‘Just thank God that I was here in time!’ he turned to leave but stopped to add, ‘Next time dress carefully because you won’t be to lucky…’ he left the sentence hanging. She knew where he was going at. She could have been raped. She saw him walking away.
‘Wait!’ she shouted after him. ‘Who are you?’ she didn’t get an answer as he kept on walking till she could no longer see him.
MaiLin and Alice came running towards her. She ran to meet them half way. She told them everything that happened. She was shocked at their response.
‘Come on, what did you expect?’ Alice retorted.
‘You dress like a tart!’ MaiLin snapped at her.
‘You should have just gave him what he wanted!’ Alice spat out. Gillian couldn’t believe what they were saying.
‘What? Why are you saying these things,’ she was in a verge of crying.
‘Bitch! What did you do to Leon?’ MaiLin screamed. Her two so-called friends went up to him and tried to wake him up. She looked at them sadly. Tears were again falling down her cheeks. She ran away. She ran all the way to her house.
**************************End of Flash Back****************************
She looked up to Charlene when she finished. She was outraged. She was boiling with anger. ‘That bastard and those bitches!’ she shouted. ‘Tell me were I can find them!’ Charlene got up, her fist were clenched tightly. But then it eased a little. She sat down and looked at Gillian questioningly. ‘But you said that was two years ago… What does this have to do with today?’
‘I just wanted to be popular,’ she sobbed. ‘I thought wearing nice clothes will make me popular.’
Charlene’s P.O.V
She was really angry when Gillian had finished the story. She wanted to beat those so-called friends of hers and that bastard. But she calmed her anger to see the crying Gillian. She must be really scared. ‘How you dress doesn’t make you popular,’ Charlene smoothed the words in.
‘I know that now!’ Gillian said. ‘But Leon didn’t stop at that. He wanted to punish me for getting knocked out.’
‘How did he do that?’ Charlene got the feeling she didn’t want to know.
‘Him, MaiLin and Alice… they would…they…’ Gillian was breathing heavily.
‘What do they do?’ she said with lack of patient.
‘They didn’t like me wearing clothes that didn’t show my body. They didn’t also like the fact that I wouldn’t hang with them. They forced me to hang around with them. They took me to this old deserted railway station…’
She couldn’t take it any longer. ‘Did he rape you?’ she yelled.
‘No!’ Gillian shouted. She was shocked. ‘No…’ she said it more quietly.
‘Then what did they do?’
‘They touched me!’ Gillian yelled. She was breathing heavily again. Looking straight at her eyes.
‘They?’ she was confused now.
‘MaiLin and Alice too,’ Gillian spoke quietly now. ‘They would touch me then make me watch them.’
Charlene squeezed her eyes shut tightly in disgust. ‘This is sick! Why didn’t you tell Nicholas?’ she was now looking at Gillian.
‘I’m embarrassed and ashamed. Please don’t tell him,’ Gillian begged.
‘They need to be stopped!’ she yelled. ‘Can’t you see? Its going to get out of hand!’
‘No!’ Gillian yelled back in shock. ‘I came to you because I thought you could keep it a secret!’
‘Not something like this!’ she shook her head in disbelief. Gillian wanted to keep it a secret! ‘You were lucky that guy saw you and helped you but do you think you’ll be lucky the next time?’
‘I don’t know!’ she was frustrated. ‘Shawn was the one who saved me…’ she said quietly.
Charlene was shocked. ‘Shawn?’ she then went back to the important bit. ‘We are going to the police!’
‘They can’t to anything! There’s no proof! Plus they’re rich, they’ll get away with it!’
‘Damn it girl! What are you?’ she knew the answer Gillian would give her. ‘You are not poor!’
‘What can we do? Hold a gun to their head and tell them to talk?’ Gillian suggested with sarcasm.
She got an idea. ‘No… Maybe, my uncle’s torture will pay off…’ she was lost in thought.
