Don't betray me, Kevin.. Don't betray me..

Kevin woke up and looked at the ceiling which seemed to be spinning crazy. Thoughts were racing in his mind and he closed his eyes. The nightmare, again. He opened his eyes when he realized someone was next to him. When he finally remembered what happened the night before and who was next to him, he jumped right out of the bed. “I just can’t do this. I just can’t. This is so wrong,’ he softly said to himself. He felt sick.
“Kevin, what’s wrong?”
Hearing her voice, filled with worry, made him look at her. She doesn’t have a clue. She does not have a clue. I just can’t do this. He somehow managed to say: “I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry,” then he ran off like he was being chased by the devil.
“Kevin, come back!!” Wendy yelled, but he did not respond. I don’t understand, what did just happen? He just looked at me so..so..scared. I have to go after him. Wendy rolled over to try and get out, but she forgot that she was already on the edge and she fell to the floor, hard.

“Hey Kev, what’s up?” Nick said as Kevin ran past him and Brian. When he didn’t respond, the two looked at each other and Brian said: “I guess he really had to go..” which made Nick chuckle. But he immediately stopped when they heard Wendy yell from her room, followed by a loud smack.

When Nick and Brian entered her room, they found Wendy on the floor, obviously hurt. Nick scooped Wendy up carefully and put her back on the bed. “Are you allright?”
“I’m getting Dr. Lockhart or Dr. Greene!”
“No Brian, don’t. I’m okay, really. I just wish they didn’t make floors that solid.” She said as she rubbed her left wrist.
“I really think they should check on you.”
“Bri, I’m fine..”
“What happened, sunshine? Kevin ran out of the hallway like crazy.”
“I don’t know.”
“Wendy, there’s something you’re not telling me. Your pretty face gives you away. Come on, spill it.”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because you’ll be assuming things that aren’t true.”
“This makes no sense, Wendy, come on, tell uncle Nicky.”
“Uncle? I’m older than you, you stupid dork.” Wendy smiled at him.
“Well, you could’ve fooled me. You look so much younger than he does.” Brian snickered.
“Owh Rok, just shut up, you oldie. Now come on, sunshine, tell us!”
“Well, it started last night.”
“Last night?!” Brian and Nick glanced at each other, each thinking of the same.
Did he stay for the night? What for?

Wendy sighed. “Last night, I had a terrible nightmare. I woke up crying, totally hysterical. So I called Kev, and he rushed over. Finally after an hour or so, I calmed down, but I was too afraid to be alone, so I asked him to stay, and he did.” She wasn’t going to tell them about him sleeping in the same bed as her, because then they would immediately ask questions she did not want to answer at this point in time. “When I woke up this morning, he was panicking and mumbled that he was sorry and then ran off. I called him, but he didn’t respond, so I wanted to follow him and that’s when you found me.”
“That’s strange, but I’m sure he has a perfect explanation when he comes to see you again. What did you dream about, sunshine?” Nick asked while he was trying to figure out why Kevin had been acting so strangely, it just didn’t sound like him.
“Well, last night it didn’t make any sense, but now I think I remember something about what happened ‘the’ night.” Wendy was nervous about telling the guys this, she knew it would hurt them to know the details, and she knew that she was probably going to cry while telling them.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Brian asked her, while looking at Nick who looked nervous too. Does she remember everything? Please God, do not let her remember the rape, not just yet, not everything at once. Because Wendy was sitting on the edge of her bed, Nick sat down on her left and Brian on her right. They both held her, trying to be there for her as much as they could. “It’s still all blurry and vague, but..” Then the tears started to fall while her body began to tremble. “Sshh.. it’s allright, baby. We’re here and nothing is going to happen. Just take your time.”
Brian kissed her on her right temple and Nick did the same thing on her left.
“I remember that someone hit my head on something really hard and then I saw something very shiny. The next thing I remember is an excruciating pain between my ribs and then in my stomach. Then I heard a very evil laughter, like someone was enjoying doing this.”
This sent a shiver down Brian’s spine and it made Nick angry, very angry, which he tried to hide from her.
“Is that all you remember?” he asked her. Brian gave him an angry look. Nick could ruin this and cause her to be suspicious, cause her to think they knew anything she doesn’t. “Don’t you think it’s enough?” she replied with a hint of bitterness. “I’m sorry sunshine, that just came out.” “No, I think you know something I don’t. Tell me, Nick, tell me right now.” Brian decided to take over from here. “We don’t know anything, Wendy, Nick just wasn’t thinking. Really, we know nothing. I’m so sorry that this happened to you..” Brian softly said as he hugged her.
“I’m scared Brian. I don’t know why, but I’m terrified.”
“Nothing is going to happen to you, sunshine. Nothing. We’ll make sure of that, alright? And you can call me, doesn’t matter what time it is.”“Same goes for me and I’m sure it goes for everyone else too.” Nick replied. “Now can I get a hug too or are you glued to that Rok over there?” He was trying to make her smile again, and he succeeded. “I think someone is a bit jealous. Come here you.” Wendy hugged Nick and Nick and Brian looked at each other. Relieved that she didn’t remember the rape yet, scared to death for the day she would.
