Part 8
"Yeah, I'm sorry we had to leave, but Kim wasn't feeling well. Yeah, maybe it was something she might have eaten before the party. I don't know. Yeah, I'll tell her you said hi. O.K." Ruben was talking to Amber on the phone. He, and Kim most likely, were sorry for leaving without telling Amber and Clay why. But Kim needed to be away from the public eye right now.
"Yeah, she sends her best. Oh, the party was great. You're welcome. I've got to go. I'll talk to you later. O.K. Bye." He hung up the phone and sighed. He turned to Kim, who was laying on the sofa. She had calmed down considerably, but he could still see the tracks of her tears, which hadn't stopped.
He pulled up a chair and sat down.
"Kim?" He asked gently. "Do you want to talk yet?"
She turned her head to look at him. She didn't answer.
"Do you want anything? Some hot cocoa, coffee...whatever?"
She shook her head.
He decided not to push her. She'd talk when she was ready to talk and not a moment sooner.
"I'm gonna be here all night, girl. I'm not leaving you alone. I'll be here when you're ready to talk about it. O.K.?"
She nodded.
Ruben sighed. "Poor girl." He said. He got up and locked her front door. He was ready to kick this punk's ass if necessary...but he wasn't taking any chances when it came to Kim's safety.
"I swear, it I ever meet this jerk, I'm going to-"
"You have." Kim said quietly.
"What?"
"You have met him."
He walked over to Kim and sat down. "You mean...I actually know this bastard?" She nodded. "Oh, my God. Kim, you have to tell me who it is."
"You won't believe me...no one will." She said. "That's what he told me."
"Try me."
"What?"
"The only way you'll know whether I'll believe you or not...is if you tell me."
Kim hesitated, then sat up. "O.K. But if I tell you, you can not say a word of this to anyone."
"No problem."
She hung her head down and mumbled something.
"What was that?"
She lifted her head and looked straight into Ruben's eyes. "It was Clay."
His eyes widened. "You mean..."
She nodded. "Yes...Clay raped me."
Ruben couldn't say anything at first. Then he remembered something.
"Kim, when you told me about the first time you had been raped...was it Clay that raped you that first time as well?"
She nodded. She couldn't speak anymore for fear of bursting into tears.
Ruben shook his head. Of all the people he had expected her to say...he still never expected her to say that Clay...the young, innocent man that he was...had raped someone that used to be what many believed was his best friend next to Ruben.
"That son of a bitch." He got up and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Kim asked.
"I'm gonna go find Clay and makes sure that he sings soprano for the rest of his life!"
"Ruben, no!"
"Kim, I'm not just going to sit by and let him get away with this!"
"Ruben, please. I told you I would take care of this."
"Yeah, you did say that and look what happened."
"I know, but-"
"No buts, Kim. I am not letting you take the chance of getting raped a third time!"
"Ruben-"
"Forget it! I care about you way too much to let that jackoff hurt you again."
Kim finally gave in. There was no stopping him once he set his mind to something.
"Fine. You win."
"That's my girl." He said patting her on the shoulder. "Come on. It's late, and with the day you had, I imagine you could use some rest."
"No kidding. All I want to do is go to sleep and when I wake up, everything will be back to normal. I would not be going through this, Clay would not be the asshole he is now, and he, Amber and I would be the 3 Musketeers, enjoying life like we used to."
At the mention of Amber's name, Ruben thought of the young woman whose heart Clay had won. Kim had mentioned that she had no idea what had transpired between her best friend and her fiancee. She probably had no idea of what happened tonight as well.
Amber couldn't sleep. She was worried about Kim and why she had left early. Ruben had said it might have been something she had ate or drank. But if that were true, she'd have spent the whole night in the ladies' room.
She got up and went to Clay's kitchen. She was spending the night at his apartment because it was closer to her workplace. He had set out a sleeping bag for her in his guest room. He understood that she wasn't ready to share a bed with him yet. After all, she was a virgin herself, and she was a firm believer in waiting until her wedding night, just like him...or at least like he used to be.
She grabbed a couple of cookies and a cup of soda and went back to her room. On her way back, she passed Clay's room and heard him groaning. She immediately felt something was wrong. She set her food down and listened closely.
Clay was tossing and turning. He was having a dream...
He was feeling someone touch him and whispering, "That's right, Clay...just lie back and enjoy it. I can give you what you need." He kept saying no, but the person wouldn't listen.
He suddenly woke up gasping and sweating.
"Oh, man...not again..." He said. He'd been having that very same nightmare for a few weeks now. He had no clue where they were coming from...or who the person was that was saying those things and touching him.
He heard a knock on his door. "Clay? Are you all right?" It was Amber.
"No, I'm not." He admitted. "Come on in."
Amber opened the door and walked in the room. "What's going on? Do you want to talk about it?"
Clay sighed. "I just had a horrible nightmare. It's just...I can't explain it too well."
Amber sighed. "I'm sorry. Would you like me to get you anything? A drink or..."
He shook his head. "No, thanks. I'll be O.K." He smiled.
She returned it. "All right. I'm gonna head back to bed." She turned to leave.
"Wait." She turned around. "Would you...stay with me tonight?"
"Well..."
"You don't have to sleep in my bed. You can bring your sleeping bag in here."
"I don't know..." Suddenly, an idea came to her. "Tell you what. If I stay with you...and you wake me up at 6:30...I'll take you out for breakfast."
"You've got a deal."
Amber went back to get her sleeping bag. Clay lay back down and thought, 'She's so wonderful. I love her so much. What would she think of me if she knew what I did to Kim? Oh, well...she really doesn't have to know that now, does she? I've been a great fiancee so far. Why blow it now?'
