Chapter 9
"So are you coming with me or not?" Kristi asked, plopping herself down on my bed. It was
4 weeks later. 4 weeks without Taylor. They (hanson) had gone to Washington DC, Los
Angeles, and right now they are in New York.
"I don't know. I'm not really in the mood to go dancing. Plus- I don't even
know your friend Lorean..." I trailed off, and opened my dresser drawer. "I can't find
anything anymore!" I laughed. Kristi looked at me.
"Lorean is a nice guy! He's from my friend Andrea's class. He's totally hot!"
Kristi told me. Hot, oh yeah, sure! I'd be glad to go behind my boyfriend's back, to meet a total
babe! I thought to myself. It's not really cheating, because we would be just hanging out.
Knowing Kristi- she'd never go behind Zac's back to do anything. She wanted him for so
long, and now that they're a couple... NOTHING is going to break them up!
"Na..I think I'll stay home- just in case Tay calls.. you know how it is!" I
almost considered begging. I didn't want to go to the 'Teen Hot Spot'., even if only kids
13-16 were allowed inside. I didn't trust people I didn't know! Kristi came next to me and
pushed my dresser draw shut.
"You can't just sit around and wait for Taylor to come back! You and I both
know they'll be back by Tuesday night...so c'mon, what harm could it do to have fun, while
passing the time?" she bargained. I hated when she did that, because she always got me
into sticky situations.
"Fine! But we have to be back no later than 10:30!" I told her. I walked over
to my closet and opened the door. My eyes scanned my clothes, and they fell on a cute
purple short sleeved shirt, with a black shirt to match. It was my all time favorite outfit.
Basically because I got to wear my soft velvet knee high boots.
"11:00!" Kristi argued.
"No! 10:45, and that's my final offer!" I told her. I wasn't in the mood to
walk 20 minutes back home, in the dark, with all the night club people. The earlier I got
out, the better. Kristi sighed and walked out the door.
"FINE!" she yelled, laughing. I heard her run down stairs. After a minute, I
was sure she was in her room, and I picked up my phone. I dialed Taylor's beeper number,
hoping he wasn't doing an interview, photo shoot, or a small concert. After punching in my
number I hung up the phone. A few minutes later, I was fully dressed, and I was about to
brush my hair when the phone rang. My ring!
"Yo?" I asked, knowing it had to be Taylor.
"Hey, what's up?" he asked me. I sighed at the sound of his voice. I haven't
heard him speak in a few days.
"I didn't interrupt anything important did I?" I asked. He laughed.
"If you call sleep important..then yeah!" he smiled. I laughed alittle and
closed my bedroom door.
"Sorry." I apologized.
"Are you apologizing for scaring my half to death, or for waking me up?" he
asked me, laughing. I raised an eyebrow and remembered he always had his beeper on
vibrate.
"Both. Hey, I wanted to ask you something." I said. I reached for my brush
and ran it through my hair. He cleared his probably dried throat.
"OKay. What?" he asked. Taylor turned his t.v on, and flicked through the
channels. He was in his bunk on their bus.
"Um, Kristi wants to take me to the new 'Teen Hot Spot' tonight, and I
wanted to make sure it was OKay with you. Coz if I didn't ask you, I would feel like I was
cheating on you..or something!" I admitted to him. Maybe I said to much? Na. Taylor
turned his tv off, and pulled out his lap top. He connected on-line, and went to a
Freakazoid web site. He loved that show.
"'Teen Hot Spot'? Is that new?" he asked me. I smiled.
"Yeah, it opened last week. It's for young teens. But it's in Stars Field. A
20 minute walk..so it's not so bad!" I told him. We lived alittle ways from the highway, so
if we crossed over the highway, we'd be in Stars Field.
"Cool. OKay, it's fine with me!" he answered. I heard him pause. I listened
carefully and heard Mr. Hanson yelling.
"Taylor, Zac, Isaac, come here! We have a situation!" he said. Flat-tire is
what I was thinking.
"Oh, OKay dad!" Taylor replied. "I have to-"
"I know. Bye sweetie...I miss you!" I said to him.
"Be back soon. Miss you too! Bubye!" he said, hanging up the phone. I sighed
and put the phone down on my dresser.
Kristi and I slowly walked into the club. The music was so loud, I couldn't hear
myself think. Just as I was about to turn to Kristi, 'MMMBop' came on.
"C'mon, we have to dance to this!" I told her, with complete royalty to
Hanson. She smiled at me and we danced our way to dance floor. I looked around, and
laughed. The DJ looked slightly familiar, but not to much. He pressed a button on the wall
behind him, and a large disco ball appeared above our heads. Kristi smiled at me and turned
to a tall brown haired boy. He looked about 15, maybe 16. He smiled at her, and whispered
something in her ear. She laughed and took his hand, turning back to me.
"Amanda this is Lorean, Lorean, Amanda!" she said, motioning us to each
other. I gave him a look and shook my head. He gave me a nasty look, and turned back to
Kristi. Lorean made Kristi laugh again, and they excused themselves to the bar. It wasn't a
real bar, it only served food, and soda. I waited until the song was over to approach them.,
and then I sat down next to Kristi.
"Why did you leave me like that?" I asked. Kristi looked at me and took a
sip of her coke.
"I didn't leave you, I just wanted a drink!" she giggled. I looked at her
oddly, and grabbed her hand.
"Excuse us Lorean..." I whispered softly to him. He looked at me, with a
devilish look on his face. What is his problem? I asked myself as we walked into the girls
room. I threw Kristi toward the sink softly. "How do you know him?" I asked her roughly. I
was afraid of that man, and I knew it. Kristi looked at me, and that was when I noticed her
eyes were blood shot. "Stay here!" I commanded, and I walked out onto the dance floor. I
scanned the room, and my eyes fell on Lorean. He had a small white packet in his hand, and
he was pouring bluish stuff into Kristi's drink. He drugged her! I told myself. Lorean looked
up, and saw me approaching him. "You drugged her!" I accused him. His eye's became
softer and he grabbed my hands.
"Oh no Amanda, I would never drug Kristi!" he said, pulling me toward the
men's room. I closed my eyes tightly, as he threw me into the sink. "Any guys who are in
here. GET OUT!" he yelled. No one moved. I guess it was empty. I slowly opened my eyes,
and saw him locking the bathroom door.
"Please..stop.." I begged, my body shaking. He stepped close to me, and
wrapped his finger tightly around my arms. "No, your hurting me." I tried to yell, but my
voice came out as a soft pathetic whisper. He leaned closer and kissed me. I roughly
turned my head, moving my face from his. He took his right hand off my arm and punched
my face. I winced, and tears fell from my eyes. I tried to speak, but no words came from
my mouth. I felt him push me against the sink, as his lip fell to my neck. I placed my hands
on his chest and tired my hardest to move him off of me. He grabbed my hands tightly and
started to bite my neck. I cried out in pain, and it sounded like he laughed. "No!" I finally
managed to scream. He let go of me and threw me to the floor. I placed my hand to my
neck and felt a large chunk of skin, and warm liquid. Blood.
"Your a bitch!" he yelled to me. I looked at him, and stood up. He stepped
close to me again, and I dodged him and ran to the door. He turned around and grabbed me
by my waist. I struggled to move, but he tightened his grip. He turned me around, and
pressed my back to the wall by the door. I opened my mouth to scream, but he kissed me.
I turned my head away again. He ran one hand along my body and stopped at the top of my
shirt. It was medium cut, so the rim of the shirt was easy to pull down, and equally as easy
to access the top of my chest. I kicked him in the shin and he smiled. "Stop Amanda, you
wouldn't want me to hurt you, would you?" he asked me. I looked at him. He pressed his
lower body against mine, stopping me from moving. His hands fell to mine and he grasped
them tightly. I squeezed my eyes shut and waited. It's a dream...open your eyes and you'll be
home, safe. I told myself. I opened my eyes quickly, when I felt his mouth touch my chest
bone.
"NO!" I screamed. "Let go of me!" I demanded, trying to move. He pressed
against me harder, and his lips fell lower. I heard him moan loudly, as he bit my chest. Just
after I closed my eyes again with pain, he threw me to the floor. I hit my head hard
against the counter, and I couldn't move. I heard him unlock the door and leave. "KRISTI!"
I yelled, as my head dropped to the floor.
Lorean made his way into the girls room. "ANY GIRLS IN HERE, LEAVE NOW!" he
yelled. 4 girls ran out quickly. As Kristi walked out of the stall, Lorean locked the
bathroom door. "Hey chick!" he whispered seductively. Kristi smiled and fell against him.
"You enjoyed your drink, didn't you?" he asked her. Kristi smiled weakly.
"MmmHmm!" she nodded. Lorean smiled and started to unbutton Kristi's
shirt. He knew she was in the second stage of the rape drug. He pushed her against the
counter and pulled her shirt off. Lorean looked at her and then brought his lips to hers.
She, being drugged, kissed him back. He ran his hands down his pants, and unzipped them
slightly. Kristi felt him and giggled wildly.
"C'mon babe!" he whispered to her. She slid down the counter and onto the
floor. Lorean smiled at himself, and pushed himself down. Her body lay limp on the floor.
He positioned himself on top of her, and they kissed each other roughly.
"Lorean.." she whispered. He looked at his watch, with his free hand. 9:57,
it read. He knew the drug only last 30 minutes. If he hadn't messed with me, then he could
have enjoyed himself. "Stop!" Kristi demanded, looking down. She gasped when she saw her
shirt on the floor, and his hands on her shorts. Lorean placed both his hands on her neck.
"Be quiet!" he whispered frantically. Kristi squeezed her eyes shut and
nodded. He knew she wasn't going to listen. He tightened his grip on her neck, and waited
until she fell limp. Dead like limp. Lorean smiled at himself, and then punched her, just to
make sure she was out. He reached down and kissed her belly button, and continued with
his sick plan.
I opened my eyes softly, and looked around. Several girls stood over me, known of
which I knew.
"Is she OKay?" some brunette asked.
"I'm not sure, go get Jeremy!" a red head said.
"Yeah, he'll help her!" a blonde girl said, running out the door with the
brunette. I roughly picked my head up, and then lifted up my now heavy body. A tall red
head, took my hands and pulled me up.
"Are you OKay?" she asked me. I nodded and tried to walk. I clumsily fell
into the girls arms. "Wait here, Jeremy will help you!" she said, making conversation. I
nodded and closed my eyes. She shook me roughly. "You have to stay awake!" she told me.
"My name is Crystal, what's yours?" I pressed my hand to my neck, and then pulled it away.
A stinging sensation fell over my body, and I looked at my hand. It was covered in blood.
"Amanda..my names Amanda." I told her weakly.
"That's a pretty name...-" some one cut her off. A man ran into the
bathroom and took me into his arms.
"What happened?" he asked me. "Crystal, what's her names?" he yelled at
my new friend.
"Amanda!" she said, I could tell she was scared, because her voice shook
with nervousness.
"Amanda, what happened? Can you tell me what happened?" Jeremy asked
me. I nodded, as he turned to the blonde girl. "Get me several bandages, ask Andrew- the
DJ for them! Sandy, go with her!" he instructed.
"Lorean..he..he...get Kristi!" I choked out. I could feel a strong wave of
dizziness fall over me. Jeremy held his hand to my neck, trying to stop the bleeding. He
looked toward Crystal and whispered something about a hole in my neck. The skin was gone.
"Lorean Andrews?" he questioned me. I shrugged softly.
"I'm not..not sure." I told him. "He..he, drugged Kris- Kristi...he'll, hurt
her!" I feel limp in his arms, when I finished the sentence. Crystal kneeled beside me.
"Lorean went into the girl's room, I'll see if he's there!" she said, running
out the room before Jeremy could stop her. He looked over my body and then saw the
bleeding on my chest.
"Where else does it hurt?" he questioned me. I pushed myself to answer, as
I sat up softly.
"Everywhere,...it just stings." I stated. I turned my head, and picked my
left sleeve, and looked at my arm. It was a dark purple, and almost black. Jeremy touched
it softly and I screamed. "Don't, please!" I begged him. The blonde girl ran into the
bathroom with the DJ by her side. Jeremy looked up.
"I said get bandages from the DJ! Not get someone who was with the DJ!"
he said. The girl shrugged and left the room. The DJ examined me.
"Amanda?" he asked. I looked at him.
"Justin? Is that you?" I whispered, the dizzy feeling finally reached my
head.
"Yeah it's me!" he whispered, as he reached in his back pocket. "I'm calling
her dad to come pick you up!" he said to me. I placed my hand on his cell phone.
"No, you have to call Lacey...my..my dad's dead." I stated. Justin's face fell
he dialed my home number.
"Lacey?" he paused. "This is Justin, I'm a friend of Amanda's..." he paused
again. Justin reached over and grabbed my hand. I squeezed it with as much strength as I
could. My eye lids became heavy and I closed my eyes. "I need to you come to Teen Hot
Spot, right away. Amanda is hurt really bad, and you need to get her to the hospital!" I
heard him say.
Lorean stood up and splashed his face with cold water. "That was pretty good doll!"
he said to Kristi. She looked at him softly. Her body was bruised in several places, and her
neck was red. Dark red.
"I hate you!" she screamed. Lorean looked at her, amused. He reached into
his back pocket and pulled out a little pocket knife.
"Really babe?" he questioned. Kristi nodded. Lorean kicked her side, and
kneeled beside her. "Are you sure?" he asked.
"I HATE YOU!" she yelled again. Lorean grasped her neck with one hand,
and ran the knife across her chest bone. When he reached her shoulder, he dug the knife
in her skin softly. Blood spouted instantly. He tightened his grip on her neck when she
struggled to get away. Lorean ran the knife along several parts of her body, cutting her
each time he stopped. As he was about to cut her cheek someone banged roughly on the
bathroom door.
"LOREAN! LET ME IN!" Crystal yelled. Lorean pierced Kristi's skin two
more times before getting up. He placed the knife back in his back pocket and threw a
nickel at her. It landed on her thigh, and then fell to the floor.
"Thanks for the fun time!" he laughed and unlocked the door. Crystal
opened the door and smacked Lorean in the face. He laughed and ran out into the club.
Minutes later he was probably out of town. Crystal ran to Kristi and helped her up.
"You'll be OKay!" she whispered. Kristi's body began to shake, as they
walked out of the bathroom and towards the men's room. When they entered the men's
room, Jeremy ran to their side. "It was Lorean, he ran out when I walked in!" Crystal
stated. Justin picked me up and held me close to him. I closed my eyes and waited for
Lacey to come. When I heard Kristi's voice, I opened my eyes.
"Kristi?" I asked. Jeremy nodded, and went back to cleaning her cuts. She
moaned and screamed several times.
"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry." Kristi choked out. I looked over at her. She had
bruises all over her body. Her underwear was wet, and she was covered in blood.
"No," I told her. "It's okay..you'll be OKay.." I assured her. I looked away
and questioned whether I was right or wrong.
