>the knocks actually scare you awake
"who could it be? It's like 11 o'clock"
>you slowly walk to the door, trying not to wake Rainbow Dash up
>I'm not going to lie, you were scared. You think that it could be like a maniac or a rapist or robber or something
>slowly creaking open the door you see...
"Rainbow Dash? Are you okay?"
>she's been crying, she looks exhausted
"What are you doing out here?
>*sniffle"can you just get me some water please?"
>you rush into the kitchen to get your sister water
>you're not even thinking of her as a crush anymore, you're thinking of her a sister again. You want to get to the bottom of this
>You bring her the water she asked for
>She is no sitting on the couch, crying some more
>She takes the water from your hand and you hear a quiet "Thanks" squeeze from her lips
"Rainbow, what the hell happened to you? A-are hurt? should I call Mom?"
>a thousand thoughts are going through your head right now
>She puts the empty glass on the table in front of her
>"I- I was with Soarin and... an-"
>She breaks down again
>You put your arm around her like she did to you last night
"It's okay. Nothing can hurt you now Dash"
>She takes a deep breath and wipes her nose
>you have never seen your sister like this and it brings tears to your eyes
>"I- I was with him on our way to lunch...and *sniff... he got a text"
>She looks down and starts to cry again
"Shhh shh it's okay"
>you are doing the best to comfort your sister. Saying what your Mom would say to you after you would come home from school... crying like she was
>"the text was from another girl... named spitfire"
>she wipes her eyes again and begins to cough
>instinctively you get up and fetch her more water
>she takes it and gulps the glass in one motion
>"I... started asking him who she was... and he just started getting more annoyed and angry"
>the tone of her voice getting increasingly raspy
>"When he snapped I told him to drive me home... I- Ive never seen someone so angry before"
>"He slapped me...he gabbed my neck and with the other hand he..."
>her tears are in a stream now, rushing down from her eyes down her cheeks
>"I was able to- *sniffle to scratch his face. That angered him more. He got out of the car and ripped open his door. 'Who the fuck do you think you are?'
>Listening closely the rage inside of you builds. You just keep thinking 'He touched her. She didnt want it but he still touched her'
>"grabbed me and threw me out of the car. Assholes. They saw him grabbing me, feeling me and they still drove by"
>you can see her sadness turning into anger as well
>tears still rushing down her face she continues
>"after he was bored of me he kicked me in the stomach and drove off... leaving me stranded, humiliated, and violated. I couldn't even run... it hurt too much"
"oh my god Dash im so sorry"
>you grab her for a hug and she doesnt even move
>she's in shock
"stay right here and I'll call Mom, then the police"
>"NO! please dont! I just want this to be over" she's sobbing again
"I'm sorry sis, i really am. But I have to"
"Okay mom. She said she'll talk to you when you get home. Yes and yes. Okay I love you too"
"Mom's on her way home Dash"
>you look back over too her. She still on the couch, but with a blanket shrouding her whole body
"I'm going to call the police now Dash if that's okay"
>She hasn't said a word since you called Mom. You're wondering if you should've listened to her. No. You have to get that sick bastard arrested for what he did to your sister
>you dial 911
"Yes Hello, my sister was just attacked. Yes please send officers. My address is [NAME AND ADRESS WITHHELD]. Yes thank you."
"Dash the police are coming with a few officers."
> You lift up the blanket
>"PLEASE...please don't look at me. Just go away please im sorry. It's my fault, all my fault, my fault, my fault, my fault..."
>you hear her sobbing to herself
>you've hear enough
>You lift the blanket up again
"Please Rainbow Dash, come out from under there. It's not your fault I promise you. And they will find Soarin and punish him for you"
>just hearing his name made her wince
"But you have to be strong. Be strong for me! Please! Be strong for you brother!"
>after saying that you start to cry
>seeing your sister like that, so broken makes your heart ache just thinking about it
>She puts the blanket on the back of the couch and lays her head on your shoulder
>You two silently cry together, head on eachother, waiting for the cops to come
>You almost fall asleep like this when you hear more knocking coming from the door
>You get up and look back at Rainbow
>She's still sniffling but not crying anymore
>you go to the door and get greeted by two big cops, each with a notepad out
>"Did you call abou-"
"YES! She's in hear. My Mom is on her way home right now"
>you lead the two cops to the living room where Rainbow is
>"Hello Ms.Rainbow. Im officer Swanson and this is officer Barbrady. I understand that you have been attacked. If it's okay we'd like to ask you a few questions"
>as if nothing wrong Rainbow says
>"Fire away officer"
>What's wrong with her? Is she trying to hide her sadness?
>They go through the whole questioning without a hitch
>"Well Ms.Rainbow I think we're-"
>Mom runs into the house
>Rainbows whole composure breaks down as she makes eye contact with Mom
>The cops try to talk to Mom as she comforts Rainbow dash
>After all the questions and answers the cops leave but say they are going to have a stake out outside the house
>We all agree as they leave the house
>After having a really long and disheartening day, you, mom and Dash all go to bed together in Mom's room holding Rainbow tightly
>You are holding her as tight as you can
>you are afraid of losing her
>You wake up in your Mom' bed. But Dash isnt there. Neither is your Mom
>You get up and change your shirt
>You didn't notice last night but there is a small patch of blood on you right shoulder
>memories flood your mind, of you and Dash sleeping together that night.
>The night before the storm you suppose
>You walk down stairs and find Rainbow and Mom, both drinking coffee, still in pajamas
"Hey Rainbow. Good morning, how do you feel"
>with tired words she says "Well my stomachs bruised and my neck hurts a little, but im doing better. Thanks for asking squirt"
>"We woke up early this morning and decided it would be best if we let you sleep. You do have school tomorrow. Did you do your homework Anon?"
"Yes Mom I finished it Friday night"
>"Oh good. Would you like to take a ride with us to the park. We we're gonna get fresh air"
"Is that okay with you Rainbow?"
>"She looks up at you
>"What do you think bro?" She gets up and walks over to you, putting her hand in your hair and messing it up
>"I'd love to have you there"
>You all get in the car
>"Mom? Is it okay if i sit in the back with Anon?"
>"Anything you want sweetie"
>you scoot over and she takes a seat next to you
>after the car starts she begins to lean on you
>knowing she wanted to be held you put your arm around her
>She looks up at you and you meet her gaze
>You boop her on the nose with your finger and she laughs
>She wraps both of her arms around you and squeezes
>despite everything that has happened, you are enjoying this moment.
>You and Dash, holding each other once again, looking out into the brisk, Autumn, suburban morning
