Torn Chapter 1: sun, sand and…….rape?

It was July of 1998 and the summer was in full swing. The sun beat down on California and seemed to bake the city, as if it was in an oven. The pavement sizzled from the heat and it was impossible to be anywhere in the city and not be wearing sunscreen, whether inside or out. Despite the heat wave, everyone was enjoying themselves. The beaches were packed since dawn and ice cream was sold by the truck load. Boys walked around shirtless and in shorts, most showing off their muscles and few showing their extra body fat. The girls walked around in bikinis and the few that where either too self-conscious or did not have the figure to pull off the bikini, wore miniskirts and tank tops.
At a beach that was surrounded by most of the popular hotels, an ice cream van pulled up and began to dish out the ice cream. He was at first lazily serving the children that came by the truck load; however he seemed to wake up when a girl approached. She was dressed in a pink bikini that had flower designs all over it. She had a perfect figure eight and her shiny brown hair, blue eyes and straight nose, seemed to turn heads. She asked for two ice creams, one with sprinkles and a flake and the other with strawberry hot sauce, and an icicle pop. The man was at first daze before he stumbled to get her order. He pushed the frozen goods into her hands and couldn’t help but stare as she removed a five dollar bill from the bra of her bikini. He took the money gingerly and was surprised as she leaned in closer, and whispered into his ear.
‘Keep the change.’ He then watched as she walked away, before turning to the next customer, the girl took a back seat in his mind

The girl placed the icicle pop in her mouth and carried the two ice creams in separate hands. She fought her way through the crowd around the beach and shock off the advances of many men and the whistling as she walked past. The girl looked for her friends and almost gave up in frustration.
‘Julie! Julie!’ Julie turned round to see her two friends, Amy and Chloe, waving for her to come over. She fought through the crowd before getting to her friends. She handed over their ice creams, unwrapped her icicle pop and lay down on the sand, in between Amy and Chloe, licking her icicle pop and listening to what was going on around her.
‘This is so nice after the long hours of studying.’ Julie, Chloe and Amy were all studying different courses at the University of California. Julie was studying law, Chloe was studying medicine and Amy was in theatre. Despite their different courses, they had become friends in the first year during a Greek house party. For the next two years, they had worked together, gone to parties together, gotten into trouble together and even at a point shared the same jail cell together. Julie would come to them with anything and she knew that they would do the same. They were the closest thing Julie had to sisters, although she had and elder and younger sister. Julie was licking her icicle pop when a volley ball flew out of nowhere and hit her in the face, knocking the icicle pop from her hand. After this, someone still shouted look out and Julie would have gone to find and hit them if she was not rubbing her nose and crying over her icicle.
‘I’m so sorry.’ Julie looked up to see a tall guy towering over her and blocking the sun’s direct rays. The guy was about six foot or a few inches either way, being hard to tell while sitting down. His skin was suntanned to a golden brown and this had his muscular stature. He had short hair that was plastered to his head from sweat and his eyes were not easy to determine from such a low point. All in all, Julie felt that he was the type of guy every girl wanted and although she would be classified under the girls that thought he was attractive, she did not really care much for him.
‘What’s the big idea?’ Chloe shouted and the guy turned towards her.
‘I’m so sorry that I hit your friend. Is there any way I can make it up to you?’ Julie knew that the guy had fallen into the hand of a demon, for that was what Chloe was. Julie watched as Chloe stalled and worked her field like an expert.
‘Ok. How about you allow us get into this game of volleyball and afterwards you buy us a round of drinks?’ Julie turned to the man as he cracked a smile and agreed to the terms. Chloe turned to Julie and gave her a wink as she picked up the beach ball and the guy helped Julie up.
‘Hey, sorry again. My name’s Jason.’
‘Julie.’ She replied and since her hand was already in his she shook it.
‘And my friend here is Amy.’ She said indicating to Amy, who still sat on her towel.
‘And the girl that’s forcing you to buy us drinks is Chloe.’ Again, Julie indicated to Chloe, who had already taken the ball and gone to the meet the other bunch of guys and girls that where playing volleyball.
‘Aite. Let’s go then.’ Jordan pulled her towards the court and Julie quickly waved at Amy, who would not be joining them because of her asthmatic condition. Julie quickly joined in the match and was on the team that was against both Chloe and Jordan. Immediately they were sorted, they began to play.

Several hours later, Julie and Amy left the club, Julie having to support a half conscious Amy as they walked home from a club. After losing to Chloe’s team in the volleyball match, Julie, Amy and Chloe joined up with Jordan and his friends. They first bought ice cream, the losers buying for the winners, although Jordan bought her an icicle pop to replace the one he had knocked over, and after this they seemed to just hang around until it began to grow dark and then they headed for a club.
On entering the club, they got a table and Jason bought the first round of drinks and it was after this everyone seemed to open up and Julie began to get to know everyone more. After another three rounds and what felt like five hours on the dance floor, Julie decided to go home. She met Amy, who had finished dancing with Tony, a guy that had been on her team in the volleyball matches and they began to leave, knowing that Jason and Chloe were probably in the bathroom having sex or he had at least been decent and taken her to a his room, hotel or motel.
They came to Amy’s apartment block and Julie waved her off, declining her offer to walk her to her apartment. Julie decided to cut through the park that opened up directly in front of her apartment building. The night was hot and Julie could still feel the heat despite wearing only a bikini bra and a mini skirt.
‘Hey honey, where you goin’?’ Julie turned round slightly to see two guys following her. From both their movements and speech patterns, Julie could tell that they were both drunk.
‘Come on baby, back that thing up over here.’ Julie got angry and turned round to show them her middle fingers. The guys began to moan and quickly started shouting abusive words at her. In fear, Julie picked up the pace and turned round only to see another two guys walking towards her. She calmed herself and kept her head low and tried to pass them. However, this did not work out for one of the men gripped her arm and pulled her back.
‘Hey baby, where do you think you’re goin’, huh?’ Julie tried to think of something to say when the man said something that made her blood freeze.
‘Baby, what you said to my friends wasn’t nice and so we’re gonna have to teach how to behave.’ Julie began to struggle but the man’s grip was strong. She began to kick him but nothing she did was working. She felt a hand on her ass and immediately knew that the men that had been behind her were now here. Fruitlessly, she kneed the man holding her in the balls and immediately he left her. Unfortunately, she was grabbed by the other three men and as she struggled against the three men, the man she had attacked stood up and slapped her across the face. She cried out in pain and before she could recover, she was slammed to the ground.
‘I’ll teach you to attack the people that are holding you.’ Two of the men held her arms down and the other man positioned himself at her legs. The man she attacked towered over her and grinned at her, making her heart sink lower than it already had.
‘Now it’s time to put that mouth of yours to work.’ The man unzipped his trousers and fiddled around a bit before pulling out his dick and rubbing it on her face. Julie began to cry and to make matters worse the other men began to tear her clothes and didn’t stop until she was butt naked. She tried to cover her shame but with her hands and legs still bound by the other men.
‘Okay boys.’ Said the guy with his cock out. ‘Let’s get to work.’ The men began to caress her and she tried to resist and fight them off but them were too strong, too numerous and the fact that she hadn’t been with a man for almost two years didn’t help much. She tried to scream only to receive a cock in her mouth.
‘And if you try to bite it, you won’t live to see tomorrow.’ She felt cold steel on her neck and knew that the man had pulled out a knife. She began to sob as she felt a tongue rub against a clitoris, a finger poking her asshole and also felt a cock slide between her breasts. She knew that she was going to be raped and there was nothing she could about it. Suddenly the sensation at her pussy disappeared and she heard a low thudding and grunting.
‘Who the hell are you?’ Julie heard one of the men say. Due to the fact that the ma with his cock in her mouth was blocking her view, she could not tell what was going on. However, she could feel the finger leaving her ass and the cock being removed from her breast as the men left to confront the latest arrival. This was followed by the sound of low thudding once more and the sound of grunting and grasping. The man on top of her removed the knife away from her throat as he rushed to get up and leave. It was then Julie saw her opportunity. She bit down hard on the man’s cock and he roared in pain. He turned back to her and raised his hand to attack her when he has hit from behind and she slumped forward. Julie released his dick and pushed him off her.
She began to stand up when the stranger pulled her up to her feet and he could now see his face from the street lights. Her rescuer was a young man of probably twenty-four or twenty-five, therefore about a year or two older than herself. He had reddish-brown hair and blue eyes that sparkled due to the light from the street lamps. He had a pale complexion and was wearing a blue t-shirt and a black suit jacket on top, with matching black jeans and what she assumed to be Italian made shoes.
The man took off his jacket and handed to her. It was only then that she realised that she was still naked. She accepted the jacket gratefully and wrapped it around herself. She was about to thank the man when she heard sirens blazing in the distance. Immediately she heard them, the guy took off, only stopping to pick up a duffle bag that was a few metres away, leaving her standing there alone surrounded by the people that had almost raped her.
