Facade
This story is based on Fa�ade by Disturbed, Lyrics below. I DON"T OWN THIS SONG.
No one knows just what has become of her
Shattered doll, desperate
Oh so innocent and delicate
But too damn obdurate
And obstinate to let go
Broken down, hurt again, it never ends
Frightened and trembling
Did she fall again? An accident?
Her eyes encircled in black again
I can't believe that she's still with him
For how long will you try?
How long until you walk away?
Your facade can't disguise
The fact that you're in misery
Look inside see what has become of her
Hiding within again
Can she pick herself up again?
It's just too difficult and arduous to let go
Homicide flashes through her mind again
No more pain, take control
If he raises his hand again
She'll find her freedom in killing him
The world will see that she's had enough
For how long will you try?
How long until you walk away?
Your facade can't disguise
The fact that you're in misery 3
For how long will you try?
How long until you walk away?
From the look in your eyes
I know you bleed internally
For how long will you deny?
How long until you walk away?
Your facade can't disguise
The fact that you're in misery
For how long will you try?
How long until you walk away?
From the look in your eyes
I know you bleed internally
Broken down, hurt again
It never ends
Jake stood in his back yard talking with his friends at a barbeque he was throwing. He loved doing this kind of thing, cooking good food and having great fun with friends and family. His best friend, Joe, stood opposite him a grin on his lupine face. His wife, or mate as he referred to her, on his right. A wolf as well, she was a grayish white just like Joe. Justin and Dan stood next to them, Justin was a human like Jake and Dan was a lean but fit Panther.
"So have you seen Sasha's latest �accident'," Joe was saying.
"Oh my God, again?" Jake said. Sasha was Jake's neighbor, her boyfriend was abusive and everyone knew it. But Sasha just wouldn't hear of it.
"Yeah, a nice shiner over her left eye." Justin said.
"It's to bad, what happened to her, she was so beautiful in high school," Mira, Joe's mate, said. "She was every girls envy, perfect hips, slim form, athletic. Now she just looks broken." She shook her head in sorrow. "Poor girl, I can't believe she is still with that drunk." This hit Jake the hardest, he would never admit it to anyone but the reason he was still single was because he was in love with her, had been since they met in High School. It crushed him to see her beat to a pulp daily but Sasha just wouldn't admit that Brien was a drunken wife beater.
"Uh oh, speak of the devil, Dan said as Sasha walked into the back yard wearing a large pair of sunglasses. "A fox that beautiful doesn't deserve that life." She had perfect orange fur with natural black spots on her ear and tail tips. She was wearing one of her fake smiles she was so well known for. Jake couldn't take it anymore, It was time to do something. He walked over to Sasha and pulled her inside.
"Let me see it," he said.
"See what?" she asked in false calm.
"Damnit let me see itSasha," he shouted louder then he had ment to. slowly Sasha took off the glasses revealing a large black bruse over her left eye. Jake sighed, "how long are you gunna let this go? Can't you see he doesn't care about you?" Sasha looked at him confused, his face softened and he held her in a hug. "When are you just going to walk away?"
"Jake it's fine, I just slipped this morning that's all," she said in her false confidence.
"Sasha this fa�ade isn't fooling anyone, I see how much this hurts you." Jake said softly, "I hate seeing you with a new bruise every day, if you don't end this I will."
"Jake that's enough, I'm ok I just slipped that's all," she insisted. Jake looked at the floor, then back up at her.
"You should go enjoy the party," he said softly. When she left he felt like pounding a hole in his wall, but held it back and went to check the meat on the grill instead. The rest of the party went down without a hitch. Jake kept his distance from Sasha for the rest of the evening, he just couldn't bare to see her like this. The food was passed around, along with the booze. Justin and Jake, having had a few too many, got up on a table and started singing to a favorite song on the radio to much applause and laughs.
*************************************
The party ended late and Jake decided to leave cleaning the tables up until morning. Around 2 o'clock his phone rang. Jake wandered down stairs in his boxers wondering who the hell was calling this late. He picked up the phone.
"Hello?" he said in a grogy voice. Sasha's voice came through the receiver, she sounded panicked.
"Jake, Jake I need help, can you come over here?"
"Of course Sasha," Jake dropped the phone and bolted out the door, he ran into her house ready to kill Brien if he had to. But when he got to the kitchen he saw the job was already done for him. Brien lay on the floor in a pool of his own blood with a large carving knife sticking out of his chest. Sasha was huddled in a corner covered from ears to tail in blood. "Oh Christ, Sasha..."
"He wouldn't stop," she cut him off. Her eyes were locked on Brien's corps fresh bruises on her arms and face. "He just wouldn't stop, he went for the knife, but I was faster..." Jake wrapped Sasha in his arms. "Oh God, what did I do?"
"Shhhh, Sasha, it's ok, it's ok, it's over." Jake picked Sasha up and cradled her in his arms. "Come on, lets get you cleaned off," he said softly. Jake took her upstairs to her bathroom. He stripped her out of her clothes and turned on the water. When the tub was full he gently put her in it, washing the blood from her body. Jake was silently proud of her, Brien was scum of the worst kind. What man beats the woman who loves him? After cleaning her off, Sasha slowly seemed to come out of her trance. She blinked a few times, and looked at Jake, then at herself.
"Thank you Jake, I can always count on you." Jake smiled and turned his back.
"I'll call the police and explain everything to them, Brien has a record, I think they'll understand, in the mean time you should get dressed," Jake said as he left the bathroom. Sasha suddenly aware that she was sitting in a tub, naked as the day she was born, blushed hotly. Jake walked downstairs and called 911.
"911 emergency," a women said.
"Yes I need the police, it's urgent. My neighbor's boyfriend tried to kill her." Jake spoke calmly and clearly giving them the address.
"Help is on its way," the women said.
In about 15 minutes the police arrived and found the body. By then Jake had gotten dressed and had met Sasha downstairs. Jake told them the story as he knew it. The officers inspected Sasha's arms and face, just to be sure.
"Yep," said the young man, "No way these are self-inflicted, the angle of impact and over all size of the bruises are all wrong," he said to the sheriff.
"The sheriff nodded and said they were going to have to take Sasha down to the station for an official statement. Jake asked to go with, if only to be there for her. The sheriff nodded and said that it would be fine. At the station the sheriff asked her what had happened, why, had alchohal been invalved and the like. After an hour or so the sheriff gave them a ride back to Jake's place, CSI was still going through the scene.
"You are welcome to stay with me tonight," Jake told her.
"Thanks Jake, I really can count on you, actually, now that I think about it you have always been there for me." She looked at him with her soft green eyes, and a warm smile on her muzzle. Jake knew it was now or never.
"Well, that's because, I love you" he said. "There is really no other way to describe the way I feel about you, I'm in love with you." Jake's revelation seemed to leave Sasha stunned for a moment.
"Really?" she asked looking like she was about to cry.
"With all my heart and soul," Jake said, sending Sasha into a water works of joy. She wrapped her arms around him and held him close.
"I was so afraid, Jake. So afraid to tell you, for all these years, I love you too. From the first day I met you." It was Jake's turn to be surprised. Was he hearing her right, was this a dream? She lifted her lips to his and kissed him with the passion of eight years all at once. Jake guided her inside and to the couch, not wanting to brave the stairs or break their kiss. They sat on the couch, their tongues wrestling in their mouths, their hands roving over every inch of their bodies. Jake pulled Sasha down on top oh him, not being able to wait anymore.
Sasha pulled off Jake's shirt and shorts as Jake pulled off her own shirt and sweats. In moments they were wrapped in a naked embrace. Jake broke their kiss for the briefest of moments, gazing into her emerald green eyes, and seeing love and happiness shining back at him, for the first time in years she was happy. He kissed her muzzle one more time then traveled to her neck.
Sasha squeaked as she felt Jake's lips touch her neck, she had never been handled this tenderly before. She jumped a little when she felt Jakes very hard cock brush her stomach. Sasha lifted her hips and guided Jakes dick into her with a hand. She slid down slowly onto him moaning softly as she slid down his entire length.
She loved this, she was in total control, for once in her life she wasn't afraid of being hurt. She set a slow pace, riding Jake slowly. He had done this on purpose, he wanted her to be able to go at her own pace. He wanted her to feel safe with him, comfortable and content that he would never, ever hurt her. Sasha was in heaven, for the first time in she couldn't remember how long there was no pain, no brutal pounding. Just her and Jake, and the best sex she had ever had.
"Oh Jake, I have never felt like this before, this is....perfect," she moaned loudly. Jake put his hands on her hips and started to thrust upward matching her rhythm, causing her to throw her head around, flipping her long red hair in exotic circles. Her breasts bounced freely with the motion of their hips, turning Jake on even more. She was moaning with every soft drop onto him, her eyes closed and her nose pointed at the ceiling moaning and groaning and even squealing a little. All this was driving Jake over the edge, he was about to warn her when he hear her squeak. "Oh Jake, so close, so close, don't stop." That did it, Jake couldn't hold back anymore, he cried out loudly as he released into her.
Feeling Jake cum sent Sasha over the edge, her walls clamped down on him like a vice as her juices flooded Jake's lap. She threw herself down on him so he was fully buried in her, and remained there as they shared the best climax either had ever experienced, asking in the after glow of their love. Sasha pitch forward laying her head on Jake's bare chest, letting the rise and fall of his breath and the thump of his heart put her to sleep. Before she did, however, she told him a simple truth.
"That was the best sex I have ever had," she said breathless. "And I want to have it more." Jake smiled as an Idea flashed through his mind. He petted her softly as she drifted off to sweet dreams and pleasant memories.
"I will never let anyone hurt you ever again," he whispered in her ear. He knew she was asleep but also knew she had heard him. He picked her up and, cradling her in his arms, carried her up to his bed room and put her on his bed. He covered her up and settled in next to her. Her arms fell over him, the brightest smile she had made in 8 years on her face. She cuddled up closely to him, snuggling him in her sleep. He heard her say something in her sleep, soft but happy.
"Love you...Jake," Jake smiled and held her close.
"I love you too, Sasha."
