Time Goes On

~ CHAPTER 12 ~

After the day was at an end with no word from Zac, the family was more worried than anything. I promised to call if I heard from him and I walked back over to my house. It was getting dark and I wondered how long he would stay gone. I knew he was upset but it had to have passed by now.
I'd spent the day babysitting while everyone tried to think of places he could be. Tori and Karen had gone to a friend's house to see her new baby and had said they'd call if they heard from him. Ike and Taylor were beyond exhausted. Diana was thankful that no hospital had any record of him being brought in but it also seemed to worry her more. Walker had also called three different police stations, none of which had any reports of an accident. Zoe had fallen asleep after her supper and Mac was slowly drifting off. Jessica was staying with a friend and Avery was watching a movie on the couch. Diana and Walker were in the kitchen talking in low voices when I had gone in there and told them I was going to go home. Walker had patted my back and Diana gave me hug, both of them thanking me.
As I sit in the living room of my house, I wondered where he could have gone. It seemed as though we'd called and been everywhere. We'd talked to police stations, hospitals, hotels, all of his friends, neighbors, people at local clubs and even the pastors at two churches. "Oh Zac, where are you?" I asked out loud as I leaned back on the couch. I rubbed my face and walked into the kitchen. I heated a TV dinner and grabbed a coke. Then sit on the couch watching the news and the clock.
At around ten thirty, I decided to go take a bath. I was sweaty and had been in the same clothes for two days. I walked into the bathroom closing the door and started the water. I poured in my favorite bath beads and bubbles. Then I brushed my hair and turned the water off. I stepped into the bath, breathing in the steam and enjoying the warm water around me. I washed my hair and used my favorite body wash. I took time to shave my legs with a new razor and a thick shaving cream that smelled like coconut. After rinsing my body and pulling the plug, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me, stepping out and wiping my hand over the mirror to clear the fog away. I sat on the side of the tub and rubbed lotion all over. Then dried my hair and pulled it up in a ponytail. I brushed my teeth and walked out.
"Oh Shit!" I exclaimed with a jump as I walked into my bedroom. "Nice to see you too." Zac smiled as he laid on my bed with a bottle of beer in his hand. He slowly got up and walked toward me. "What are you doing here?" I asked still holding my hand over my heart. He took my hand and led me to the bed saying "I've been drinking, I need a ride." I looked at him as an evil grin crept over his face. "No Zac, not tonight. Where have you been?"
He pushed me down on the side of the bed and knelt in front of me. He didn't have a shirt on and his breath smelt like strong beer. He was somewhat unsteady and I knew right away that he was drunk. He started rubbing my leg and smiling an almost disturbing smile. "Mmmm damn baby, you are so sexy. I love the fell of freshly shaved legs." I pushed his hands away and said "I promised I'd call your parents when I heard from you." I reached for the phone but was stopped by a very deep, hard kiss. When he pulled away he grabbed the phone and dialed a number. Walking over and shutting my bedroom door he turned and leaned with his back on the door facing me as I sat on the bed. "Mom...? Yeah mom I'm fine... no... no I'm ok, I promise... no I'm fine, I just needed to get away for a bit... I promise mom. I'm sorry about what happened. Tell everyone I'm sorry. I'm here at Melissa's and I'll be home soon, Ok... yeah... uh-huh, I know we have to... I will... love you too, bye." He hung up and laid the phone on the chair.
He looked up and smiled at me. Then he walked over to me and pulled me to my feet. He began kissing me, hard and hungry. "Zac," I tried pushing him away but it was useless. He held me and kissed my neck and face as hard as he had my lips. "Zac please don't." I whined. He didn't stop but held me tighter. He threw me on the bed and tore his jeans off.
As I moved to get up he grabbed me and came down on top of me. I tried to fight him off, nearly in tears. "Zac please. Don't. Please Zac stop!" I screamed at him but it was like he didn't even hear me. He raised up on his knees and ripped the towel open. He took my wrist and pinned one on each side of my face as he leaned down and kissed me with a frantic desire and desperation. I felt his breath hot on my body as he licked my breasts and bit at my neck and ear.
I began to cry a little as I continued to scream over and over "Zac stop! Please don't." But it didn't do any good. He took his boxers off and pinned me down again. He was strong and heavy. As I felt him push into me I screamed out "NO ZAC! STOP!"
This caused him to let go of one of my hands and put his free hand over my mouth. He still held me down with his other hand on my wrist. I continued to scream but his hand pressed harder over my mouth. I tried to move but he was too strong and no doubt the drunken state he was in gave him more strength.
I cried out as he thrust into me harder and harder. I was in pain from his uneasy pushing into me with more force each time. His hand was pressed so hard over my mouth that I couldn't even move my lips anymore. I felt his fingers dig into my wrist. I tried to scream but hardly any sound was coming anymore. I felt tears roll down out of my eyes and the pain was intense. Harder and harder he pushed into me. His breathing was heavy and he was sweating. I could smell the alcohol on his breath and taste the sweat on his hand. His fingers dug into my wrist harder and more forceful as the sweat caused them to slip.
Because of the fight I'd already put up and the pain and crying,I couldn't even move let alone try to get him off of me. I just laid there crying silently. The screaming and crying had caused my throat to become sore and raw and my vision was blurred through the tears as they seemed to come faster than they could fall.
I winced in pain and closed my eyes, willing it to be over, as his final and hardest thrusts brought on a climax and he collapsed onto me. He eased the grip on my wrist and slid my hand above my head as he laced our fingers together. As his hand slid off of my mouth I felt the tingling around it but I still could not speak. His fingers slid down before they rested on my neck. He was breathless and sweating a lot as he lay on top of me. I was sore and hurting all over from his forcefulness and energy. He slowly moved up and kissed my neck then my lips, easy this time, like he'd always done. He then rolled off of me and laid next to me on the bed. His hand began rubbing my stomach as I laid there silent and shaking. He ran his fingers through my hair a few times and then leaned over and kissed me again.
He got up and dressed quickly. After getting dressed he took the bottle of beer he had sit on the nightstand and took a drink. He then bent down and kissed me. As he stood up again I asked through my tears with a shaky voice just above a whisper, "Why?" He walked toward the door and I turned onto my side to face him. I pulled the towel out from under me and wrapped it around my body. I watched him for a moment and as another tear fell I asked "Zac, why did you hurt me?"
He turned and looked at me.
He smiled, a drunk and satisfied smile, and said "Don't be so dramatic. You enjoyed it as much as I did."
Then without another word he walked out and closed the door. I heard the front door open and then slam closed.
When I knew he was gone, I slowly got up, barely able to move and wrapped the towel around me. I slowly walked to the front door and locked it then went back to my room and crawled into bed. I pulled the blanket up around me and cried myself to sleep.
