Part 5
Kim was alone in a local bar Thursday night. It hadn't been a good day for her.
She had spent Wednesday night trying not to get upset about her confrontation with Clay...and failing miserably.
'How the hell could he act like that?' She kept thinking. 'He doesn't even care how I feel or what I'm going through. How the hell does Amber deal with him? Oh, that's right...he loves Amber. He'd never do anything so horrible to her.'
Thursday was spent just walking around, trying to take her mind off Clay. Shopping, writing in her journal, but mostly wondering how she would tell Amber about the rape...if and when she told her. Eventually she gave up on that and decided to try to have fun, which would explain why she was at the bar.
She had just had her 3rd glass of Pepsi. To her surprise, she wasn't up for anything with alcohol. She knew that was never the answer, even after what she had been through.
"Another soda, miss?" The bartender asked.
"Bring it." She said. 'One more couldn't hurt. Besides, it's not like I have anything better to do.'
"Here you go." The bartender passed her a soda.
"Thanks." She gave him some money.
As she was drinking, she heard someone call her name. She turned around...and saw a familiar face.
"Ruben!" She lit up.
"Hey, girl!" He said giving her a hug. "It's been so long."
"A couple of months at least." She joked.
"Glad to see you're in good spirits."
"I wish."
"What's wrong?"
"I really don't want to talk about it..." She trailed off.
"Oh, come on. I bet I can make you feel better."
"Believe me, not even the Velvet Teddy Bear can cure this diva's blues."
"Well, you never know until you try."
Kim had to confess, it would be nice to talk to someone neutral about this.
"Grab a stool, big guy." She finally said.
Ruben sat himself next to her and got himself a drink.
"So...what's been going on?" He asked.
"Not much."
"Oh, come on. You had to have been busy, girl."
"Well, yeah I have." She admitted.
"Kim...there's something else going on. I know there is. You might as well tell me what it is."
Kim sighed. "O.K. But...if I tell you, you have to promise you won't tell anyone else about this."
"You've got a deal. So tell me already."
"The thing is..." She tried not to burst into tears as what she was about to say. "I...I was raped." She whispered.
Ruben couldn't believe what he had just heard. Who would do such a horrible thing to Kim?
"What? When?"
"It was only a couple of days ago...but I haven't told anyone about it...until now."
"Oh, Kim...I'm sorry. Do you know who did this to you?"
"Yeah. As a matter of fact, I confronted him about it yesterday. He acted like a total asshole, saying it never happened and no one would believe me."
"He is such an asshole for even saying that."
"Yeah."
"I will say though, that took guts, doing what you did. Are you going to press charges?"
"Well..." The thought had never entered Kim's mind. "I hadn't thought about it, no."
"It's not like you can't afford a good lawyer now."
"True. But the problem is he has a girlfriend."
"Oh..."
"Yeah, and she happens to be my best friend."
"Oh, no!"
"Yeah. She doesn't know about this yet either."
"O.K...so if this guy has a girlfriend, what would he want with you?"
"I don't know...but he told me I was an easy lay."
"Easy...man, if I ever met this guy, I swear, I'd show him what happens when he messes with my friends."
Kim didn't have the heart to tell him that he did know him. She didn't want to tell him that just yet.
"So...why are you here?" Kim finally asked Ruben.
"I came here just to see what's going on with my favorite people." He said. "Which reminds me...how's Clay doing? I haven't talked to him in so long."
'Oh, he's just great. He's only the jerk who raped me, that's all.' She thought. "He's doing fine." She said.
"Yeah, I was going to give him a call later on. Do you have his number by any chance?"
"Oh, sure." She wrote down Clay's number and gave it to him.
"Thanks, girl." He said. "So...what are you going to do?"
"About the rape?" She sighed. "I don't know yet. But I will do something, that's for sure."
"I know you will. Because I know you. You're a strong woman, Kim. You're not one to let something like this hold you down. You will take care of this no matter what might happen in the end." He reached across to take her hand. "I just want you to know that I believe in you and what you're capable of. If anyone can overcome this...it's you."
Kim had to smile. It felt good to know that she had someone on her side.
"Thanks, Ruben. You have no idea how much this means to me."
"Anytime."
They chatted for a while longer, then Ruben looked at his watch.
"Man, I didn't realize it was that late." He said, surprised. "I've got an appearance in the morning. I'm sorry to leave, but..."
"It's all right. I should be heading home myself." She said. "But why don't you call me sometime?" She wrote down her phone number and address on a napkin.
"Sure thing, girl." He said returning the favor. "Maybe we could hook up sometime."
"I really hope so."
Ruben leaned down to kiss her cheek. "I'll see you around, Kim."
"Not if I see you first." She joked.
With one last wave, he walked off.
Kim touched her hand to her cheek and smiled. She may have lost one friend, but now she knew she had another in Ruben. She looked down at his number. She was already making plans to spend time with him...a lot of time.

Kim drove home, smiling for the first time in days. It felt good to finally tell someone about what happened...though she never expected it to be Ruben. He'd listened to her and offered his advice best as he could. What more could she ask for? The question now was...how was she going to tell Amber?
She walked into her apartment and turned on the TV. She went to get a snack when Clay's name was suddenly mentioned. She walked back to the TV and turned up the volume.
"You could hear the sound of hearts breaking all across the nation." The announcer was saying. "As Clay Aiken today officially announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Amber Lindsey."
Kim's mouth dropped open. 'Engagement?!' She thought as tears filled her eyes. 'That son of a bitch is actually marrying Amber?!'
Suddenly her phone rang. She picked it up. "Hello?"
"Kim! Did you see the news yet?" An excited Amber squealed on the other end.
"Yeah, I just saw. I guess congratulations are in order." She said surprisingly calm.
"Well, save it for the party."
"What party?"
"Clay and I are holding an engagement party on Sunday night. I'd really appreciate it if you came."
She really didn't want to go. The only reason she would go at all would be to see Amber and congratulate her.
"Sure. I'll be there." She finally said.
"Great. The party starts at 6:00. Call me if you can't come for any reason."
"I will."
"O.K. Bye."
"Bye." Kim calmly hung up the phone.
She managed not to burst into tears until she got to her bedroom.
