Chapter Five - Mature Content - TW⚠️

"Thought you got away? Huh? Not so fast, c-come here, I only wanna talk." Slightly soberer, Will walked towards Alex and Gracie, and seemingly took offense when he saw Gracie and Alex holding hands. "Pair of dykes, yeah? That's what you are? You bitch, I only ever dated you because I felt sorry for you. You like licking her cunt, huh?" Will stepped closer to Gracie, grabbing her by her shirt, and Gracie saw his mouth was drooling. Whether it was out of lust, or just because he was drunk, she didn't know. His words were a fair bit clearer than they had been a few minutes ago, Gracie realised reluctantly. She had been betting, if they did run into him again, on being able to outwit him. He definitely had a firmer grip on reality now. "You like licking her cunt? You, uh, wanna lick me? I got something you can wrap your lips around." Will continued holding Gracie with one hand, the other hand pulling the zipper on his jeans down. Gracie felt a wave of terror fill her, and was certain Will was about to force himself on her. Gracie had, not that she'd ever admit it, never had sex, with a man nor woman. She didn't want this to be her first time, she didn't want this to be what stuck in her head, for the rest of her life.

Gracie didn't need to worry, not about that, because Alex came forward, snapping out of the fear that had paralysed her briefly. "Stop! Just stop, please! I'll do anything!" Alex's voice, normally so playful, cracked with fear, but its shrill sound didn't seem to get through to Will, who had let go of Gracie for a moment to undo his belt, and responded to Alex only with a quick, dirty look. Alex saw her words hadn't had any effect, and against all logic, she ran towards Will.

"I said stop!" A *smack* noise rang out through the grid as Alex's hand connected with Will's face. For a moment, no one moved, as Will stood there in disbelief that he had been slapped, and Alex looked at her hand, her heart sinking. She shouldn't have done that. When the fear subsided a bit, and Will huffed, anger filling him, Gracie and Alex began to step back uncertainly, their bodies not letting them run, not yet. Will began to walk towards them, belt wrapped around his fist, and Alex and Gracie turned, and were about to run, when they saw one of Will's friends occupying the south exit, also walking towards them. To the east, the other friend was approaching, and that was all the motivation that Alex needed. She had heard rumours, about Will and his friends, about they did. She'd heard about it before their relationship, but it was only after that she'd believed it. She took Gracie's hand, and began to pull her towards the west exit, keen to get out just as Gracie had planned, when Will's hand shot out and grabbed Alex by the hair.

"You're not getting away that easy Alex. I'm insulted." Alex was yanked back, and landed butt first on the floor, the shock of the sudden jarring pain overriding any self-preservation Alex had for the moment. Gracie, who had still been looking at Will fearfully when Alex grabbed her, felt one of Will's friends roughly grab her arm, spinning her around. All Gracie saw before unconsciousness claimed her was a fist rapidly swinging towards her face, and she dropped to the ground.
