Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

IAN's POV :

She was still shaking.I could barely keep my focus on the road as I drove.Images from before kept flashing into my head.

How he was on top of her, how she was crying for dear life, how her dress was torn, how his mouth was on her neck, and how his pene were all over her body...

Fuck.

I should have killed that son of a bitch.I had to take a lot of deep breaths to calm myself.And every time I glanced at her on the passenger seat, she just had her head down and her body was still shaking.

There were so many things going through my head, so many questions I wanted to ask her, but now wasn't a good time.She needed some peace of mind and I had to give it to her.

"Are you cold?"I asked when I saw her shivered.

"No,"she replied and pulled my jacket closer to her.

"Is it ok if we go to your house? Or do you wanna be someplace else?"

"No, I wanna go home,"her voice was strained and tired.

We didn't say anything else throughout the whole car ride.

I drove her back to her house since it was closer, and she probably needed the rest.

When the car arrived across the street from her place, I killed the engine and took a deep breath.

Emma knew I wanted to say some things, so she just sat there and waited patiently.

"Are you gonna be okay going back in there? I can take you somewhere else if you want?"

"No, that’s okay, my parents are asleep,"she replied, 

"I should go home and get some sleep,"

I nodded and she reached for the door, but before she could leave, I gripped her hand and held her back.I thought this could wait until tomorrow, but I couldn't wait any longer.I had to ask her.

"I need to ask you, Emma,"I sighed in frustration, 

"What the hell happened out there?"

She swallowed hard and sat back down.She turned to me and her eyes glistened with tears.

"lan, please don’t be mad at me,"

"I won't be mad at you," I said reassuringly, 

"Start from the beginning.What happened when I left?"

She looked so scared that she wouldn't speak.

So I reached for her face and caressed her cheek gently as I said, "Papy girl, tell me what happened,"

She nodded her head slightly and started to speak, "After you left...Zach came to my house.He saw that I got into your car and he took a picture of us.He told me he wouldn't tell anyone and that he'll delete the photo if I agree to..."

"If you agree to what?"

She didn’t answer me, so I had to fill in the blank on my own.

"..To sleep with him?"

 She didn't say a word, but that look in her eye gave it away.
