Unexpected

Chapter 10

The next week past by so fast for Sasha, there were classes, more songwriting and talking with both Luke and Paul. It took awhile but they finally managed to make a decision and decided that it’s the best decision at this moment. Especially with everything that was going on or.. not going on with her and Luke at the moment. She didn’t think that she could start a career with him without being able to be with him. So that day after school they went down to the office to sign the contracts and then they are going to meet this manager Mike Fuller that wanted to talk to both of them about representation. So that’s where they are right now.

”That sounds really good Mike.” Luke responded to what Mike had said about his vision for the two of them.

”I just want you to get as far as possible. Both of you.” He added the last part to get Sasha to join in on the conversation since she had been sitting quiet for the past minutes.

”It seems like you got everything under control and that makes me feel safe with my career.” She caught herself by surprise with that word, career, she actually had one now and she was only eighteen.

”I’m happy that you see it that way Sasha.” He smiled at her before he continued. ”So the label has you guys doing a few songs together right?” He asked the tevens in front of him.

”Yeah, we wrote one last week and can have it done to record after the weekend.” Luke told him and it must have been exactly what he wanted to hear since it brought a big smile on his face.

”You guys are making this easy for me. So I’ll book studio time for next week and you two just keep writing songs and I’ll talk to you later about date and time for the studio.” He said and picked up his phone to write some things down.

”Sound great.” And with those words there wasn’t much more to talk about than a few things that Mike wanted them to work on or think about since they were both stepping out into the spotlight. Even if they were in the corner of fame already thanks to Paul’s past and all the talk about their parents wedding that had just hit the press.

They got home again and all that Sasha wanted to do was go through her songs and figure out if there was any she wanted to record and then she had to fix them up so they would be ready to record in a couple of weeks. But after letting their parents know what had been said at the meetings and all that stuff, their parents told them that they were going to the beach house for the weekend to start planning the wedding and get some alone time. With the kids around and all the media wanting to get the latest news about them and the wedding they wanted to get away. They may not be that young to be considered kids but they still were to their parents This left Sasha and Luke with only one thought, one word and one thing to do this weekend. PARTY!!!

It didn’t take long after their parents to left until Melody and Liam were there to help set up. Since they lived in L.A. and there were only a couple of months left of school they ended up with a pool party. After they had gotten everything together they locked up the music room and Paul’s study just to make sure that nothing got stolen or destroyed. They ordered pizza before they started to get ready for the party of the year as their classmates had put it.

”So which one?” Mel asked as she held up two different bikinis.

”Isn’t that something you should ask your boyfriend?” She said teasing.

”I already know his answer and I don’t think that not wearing one is gonna be a bit inappropriate when there is other people around..” Mel said and laughed.

”Oh.. Well then I’d have to say..” She looked at both of them a while. The first one was a simple and white that made her breasts look perfect. And the other one was classic Mel, it was neon pink with a halter neck. ”It depends on what you wanna say.” Mel just looked at her with question marks in her eyes. ”Well the pink one is classic Mel which says that you are comfortable and confident as the white one pretty much says ’Do me right here, right now’ ” Sasha explained and looked at Mel with anticipation for what her choice would be.

”The white one it is then!” She said and threw the pink one back into her bag.

”As long as you don’t do it in my bed I’m fine with it as long as you are.” She said as she went into her close to pick out her bikini for the day.

”Fine, there are other beds in this house so.” She said and couldn’t help but smile.

”You know that’s not what I meant by that.” She gave Mel a knowing look.

”I know and it’s time. I really like him and I think that I might even love him..” She said and blushed.

”I wasn’t ready for that but I’m happy for you that you found someone that makes you feel that way.” She said as she walked out of her closet in a black, lace two piece with a thin white beach skirt tied around her hips.

”I wasn’t so sure about him in the beginning cause.. well he’s Liam but things are different now. He’s different now.”

”I..” Sasha was about to say something when she heard to door bell followed by a lot of noise, letting them now that the party was in full power downstairs

”You can go, I’m just gonna change and then I’m joining you.” Mel gave her a quick hug before Sasha almost sprinted down to greet the guests.

There were people everywhere and already cups all over the place. But Sasha didn’t care, she had just gotten a record deal for crying out loud!! All she was gonna do tonight was to have fun and celebrate that fact. Nothing was gonna hold her back tonight, nothing! The party went on with chillin’ by the pool, water games, wrestling on someone shoulders and all the typical pool party stuff. After a while Sasha walked up to change into some real clothes so she didn’t have to run around in her bikini all night. She got into this hot but yet sweet sundress that she never really wore and fixed her makeup before she walked back to the party again. She found some of her friends playing spin the bottle in the living room so she decided to joined them. Of course Luke was there, she had expected to see Mel there since she loves to play spin the bottle but then she remembered her plans for the night. She laughed at the memory before she poured another cup of beer and just as she sat down the bottle stopped and pointed at her. She looked around to see who she was gonna have to kiss and just her luck it was Brian. She never liked him, not even a little bit. He was a jerk that she never wanted to be this close to ever. But it was a part of the game so when he leaned over to the middle of the circle she had to do the same. She took a deep breath before she felt his lips to hers, she didn’t know if it was because she was drunk or if it was something else but damn he was a good kisser and it didn’t feel that bad. Once she started to hear cheering around her she realized that it they might had done more than what was required. Once she pulled back and got back to her seat she looked over at Luke who wasn’t looking too happy about what he had just witnessed. They played a while longer until Sasha gave up and walked around the party. Nothing was gonna hold her back and nothing did, not even herself saying that she was only drinking water after that cup of beer. That was something that happened a couple of times during the next hour. She was walking back upstairs to use her own bathroom and when she got inside her room she felt a pair of strong arms pushing her against the wall and in the same motion a pair of lips crashed to her. She remembered those lips.. Brian. Right about now she regretted the last three drinks, she didn’t want this but she was too weak to get out of his grip.

”No, stop.” She yelled out after a while, it might not have been that loud but it was out there for him to hear and apparently for him to ignore too. She felt herself being moved away from the wall to the bed, the soft bedding made her feel comfortable but once he was on top of her that feeling went away. She started to panic first now when she realized what was happening, he was forcing himself on her. No! She didn’t want this, not at all. All of the memories came back to life and she felt herself drifting off but she pulled all her power together to yell for help. She wasn’t the same weak girl that she was before, she was stronger.

”No Brian!! STOP! Get off of me!!” She half yelled out, it was the best she could do in this state. She felt the tears stream down her face and there was no stopping them.

She was about to give up when she heard a voice in the distance asking what was going on and a few seconds later Brian wasn’t over her anymore. Everything was a blur but she heard punches being delivered and right then her sight started to come back to her. She looked to her side to find Brian laying on the floor with Luke on top of him landing punch after punch on his face. She didn’t know if it was the adrenalin or if she all of a sudden got sober but she got out of the bed and pulled Luke off of him and letting him know that she was okay. She wasn’t okay, but she was better than she was before he walked in on them. Or better than she would have been if he hadn’t.

”Just get out of here Brian!!” Luke yelled and it didn’t take more than that until Brian was out of their sight. He turned to Sasha and pulled her into his arms and stroked her hair.

”Thank you” She said through her tears.

”You know I’m always by your side.” He said as he pulled her even closer.

***

Every possible thought went through his head when he walk into her room and he saw Brian all over her. It took a few seconds before he heard her resisting and squirming underneath him. He couldn’t take the sight anymore so he teared him off of her and couldn’t stop punching him. She didn’t deserve any of this, non of it.

”Can we just get everyone out of here?” She asked weakly still with her head buried against his chest.

”Yeah, are you gonna be fine up here by yourself?” He pulled away a little so he could look at her.

”I think so, just hurry back okay?” She was still weak but did her best to give him a reassuring smile but he knew it was fake.

”I’ll be right back.” He said as he placed a kiss on her forehead before running downstairs to pull the plug on the party. It didn’t take long before it got quiet and she heard the front door close followed by footsteps on the stairs.

”Everyone’s gone except for Mel and Liam who are sound asleep in the guest room.” He said and pulled her into his arms once again. She started to break down a few seconds later, the realization of what had happened just hit her.

”Stupid. Stupid Sasha, Stupid!” She kept saying in between her sobbs.

”Stop that, it’s not your fault Sasha.” Luke tried to reassure her ever time she said anything like that.

”Of course it was my fault, it always was.” Her words got to him, ’it always was her fault.. What did that mean?’ He thought to himself.

”Of course it’s not, why would you even think that?” Luke said firmly.

”He always said that it was my fault and it always was.” Luke knew that she wasn’t talking about Brian anymore. She kept her face buried in his chest, crying her eyes out.

”Who Sasha? Who said that?” Luke asked with concern.

”My..” she couldn’t say the following word so she tried another one, ”Al..” She broke down for the third time. She just couldn’t do it.

”Your dad?” He asked as he remembered one of the songs he had over heard. She couldn’t get another word out so she just nodded into his chest. ”He’s gone Sasha, no one’s gonna hurt you anymore.” He just stood there holding her for the next hour until she started to drift of to sleep right there in his arms. He changed his grip on her so he could lay her down on the bed and pulled the covers over her. When he started to walk away she grabbed his hand before he got out of distance.

”Don’t go.” she said quietly.

”You sure?”

”I’m sure.” She moved over on the bed to make room for him next to her.

He laid himself down next to her and put his arm around her once she turned to rest her head on his chest. She had never trusted another man in her life since her father but the difference was that she couldn’t help but feel safe in Luke’s embrace. She trusted him with her life and she could feel herself falling for him.

”Good night Sasha.”

”Night.” She mumbled back before she fell asleep.
