"Just let o, Kenny!"

"Where’s Rainer?" Kenny calls and I freeze, spinning around

"No!" I yell "No, please"

"So aith it"

"Kenny, please"

He disappears and I become more frantic I drop my keys and cry out loudly My shirt rips more as I kneel down to try and fetch theainst my skin, and I know my back is exposed

"Emalie!"

No

"Fuck, Emalie!"

Please no

War hauled up into Rainer’s strong arms

"Rainer," I sob

"What happened? Shit, Emy, who did this to you?"

"Jack did it to her," Kenny says

"What?" Rainer growls, his voice like ice

"We saw hiirl and Emalie ran off I told him that she’d seen hi him, and he really takes me in His dark eyes travel down over aze

"What did he do to you? Don’t lie to me, Emalie"

"He followed me into the trees We talked I told hito s-s-s-sleep with hirowls

"He started kissingme"

"Where did he touch you?"

I look into his eyes "Rainer, please"

"Where?" he roars

"My b-b-b-breasts and"

Rainer doesn’t need anymore He turns me into Kenny’s arms and he sprints towards the trees

"Rainer!" I screarasps

By now half the party is behind us, and as I run towards the trees, they all do to Rainer catches Jack just as he’s exiting the tree line, and Jack doesn’t even get a chance to open his mouth before Rainer drives a fist into his face The two boys go down quickly, and I watch in horror as Rainer punches Jack over and over The sickening sounds of bones breaking snapsforward

He hits Jack again and again

"You piece of fucking shit I’ll fucking kill you"

"Rainer," I sob, trying to reach for hi touch her?"
