A/N: Hey everyone! I posted this story years ago, only one chapter under the pen name CadidDelusions. I can no longer log into that account so if you happened to read it and find similarities, that was me. I read that first chapter and was like "Hey, why didn't I write more?" So now I'm trying to revamp and revise it. (Italics are memories by the way when they're in paragraph form, or sometimes just thoughts.) Hope you guys enjoy!

Summary: Sophomore year Roxi Hart gave her virginity to Aaron Abbott. Junior year she let Reid Garwin steal her heart. Now it's senior year, and Chase Collins is finding out that he has a lot more in common with the broken girl then he ever would have thought. This year she's going to find out who really has her back, and who was just in it for the red light.

Warning: First flashback may be disturbing to some readers.

The Red Light

Ch. 1

"Why are we going away from the parttttty?" I slurred.

"Shush, were going to have our own party baby." He was pulling me towards an empty bedroom.

I never should have gotten this drunk. Reid and I had had a disagreement, more like a full blown fight, and I just wanted to forget. My feelings for him were growing so fast. He wanted to keep things the way they were, it was obvious in everything he did.

"Jayson I havvve to finddd Kate. She'sss looking for me!" I blurted out lamely. Unfortunately it wasn't believable, but it was the best I could come up with.

He threw me on the bed and unzipped his pants. Laying there in a short skirt I felt naked already. Although I pushed and kicked with all I had there was nothing I could do to stop him.

"Come on. Don't act like you don't want it baby."

He started touching me all over and saying sickening things in my ears. His slimy tongue entered my ear. I felt vomit rise into my mouth. Jayson's hands were pulling at my underwear. My muscles clamped in anticipation and a few tears came to my eyes as he tried to enter me and then…

"Get the fuck off of her!" Kate ran across the room and pushed him. He looked too stunned to do anything. "Are you okay Roxi?" She was hitting him with all her might and he finally moved away from me.

"I'm fineee Kate." I said wiping away some stray tears. There was already a crowd of people at the door, peeking in to catch the drama. "Let's just go…"

|:||:||:|

She shuddered at the thought of that night. It brought down what was left of her world to ruins. Reid didn't want anything to do with her anymore. He thought that they'd had sex and Kate had just come in to save her friend the embarrassment. The blonde son wasn't there that night. After the two fought he had stayed back at the doors, wondering if he should commit to Roxi.

The drunken Roxi explained everything to Kate. When she sobered up however she made her promise not to say a word to anyone. Kate was less than enthusiastic to agree and even threatened to tell Higgins if she didn't report him. That was when the smaller brunette held up the only card she had on Pouge Parry's girlfriend, and ruined their friendship.

She threatened to tell Pouge about when Kate cheated on him at a different party the girls had been at. Although she hated to do this, she couldn't let everyone find out what had happened. The school already felt bad enough for her during the disaster formerly referred to as the start of her junior year.

"Roxanne Hart, please report to the Provosts office immediately. Roxanne Hart, Provosts office." The announcement blared throughout the school. Briefly her eyes strayed to the Tunney girl, as if silently questioning her.

"Get caught on your back again Hart?" Kira called out as the other girl was moving to leave the classroom.

The old Roxi would have a snarky remark to throw back at her ex-best frenemie. However, the new Roxi didn't even look back.

|:||:||:|

"What was that about?" Pouge asked his girlfriend.

"What?"

"She looked over here. She hasn't looked at any of us since last year, not that I'm complaining it was just weird."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Kate dismissed his questions.

She'd known exactly why the other girl looked at her. Roxi must have thought that Kate told her secret. Kate looked down at her book.

She knew she should have told. At the time she'd been so mad at her friend for throwing her infidelities in her face she wasn't thinking straight. Now she understood. After sobering up and having time to think about it. Kate could see exactly why her old friend hadn't wanted anyone to know.

Roxi had been through a lot her junior year. The once loud and spunky girly was now quiet and reserved. She didn't want anyone to notice her. Kate noticed she seemed to be withering away on the outside as well.

Far too thin and tired to be her old practice buddy for cheerleading. Too mousy to be the girl that made Reid Garwin beg for her affections. Just too gone to have been one of Spencer's finest.

"Kate! Earth to Kate!" Pouge was shaking her shoulders now. Trying to get her out of her trance. The way she was avoiding his eyes let him know she was hiding something.

"Pouge I'm just tired. You really took a lot out of me last night." She faked a half smile, trying to convince him she was alright. He wasn't buying it but he was not in the mood to fight over the Hart girl.

"Well you know, we do have a break after this class Miss Tunney." He said in a cool, low voice. His eyebrows were raised suggestively.

"Whatever will we do Mr. Parry?"

|:||:||:|

"So how do you like Spencer?" Chase asked the girl next to him. He had planned for Caleb to show him around. That had been how things were supposed to be all along. Unfortunately he was still on vacation with his family. The world made him cringe inside.

"It's fine. Just like any other private school. Everyone's in their own little groups." She pulled her skirt up a little, noticing it was falling down. 'Note to self, buy better uniform.'

"What group are you in?" She seemed to think for a second before replying.

"I don't really talk to anyone."

"You seem like you're really smart. I'm sure you're like the queen of the gifted students." A hint of a smile graced her lips.

"Why, because I look like a nerd?" He quickly shook his head, although that was partially why he'd said it. She did fit the part with her black rimmed glasses and small voice.

"I just mean that you seem…"

"It's fine. I'm not smart. I used to have friends I guess but not anymore."

"You gotta have somebody?"

"High School doesn't matter. Spencer isn't the real world anyway." Chase was taken aback by her answer. She seemed older than her age, like him. He could tell by talking to her that she'd been through a lot.

"I've got to go take care of some things. Can I have your number so we can meet up later?" Suddenly she looked at the boy like he had three heads. He wasn't ugly or anything, she just didn't care about relationships anymore. "So you can show me around some more." He clarified.

'Of course he's not interested in you. Calm your freak out meter Hart, you're a complete mess.' She mentally chastised herself for being worried over nothing.

"Yea umm what's your number?" She took out her pink IPhone, a bribe from her father for never being home. After he told her his number she texted him so that he would have hers.

"Umm, I don't really go out at night so just call me tomorrow morning something." It's three in the afternoon. He thought. What's wrong with her?

As he moved to turn away Roxi watched as it looked like he purposely walked into enemy number two (Jayson being one). Chase had had more than enough room to go the other way but he bumped into Garwin's shoulder anyway.

"Watch where you're going asshole." He glanced at Chase before his eyes locked on Roxi. She looked down from his intense gaze.

"Sorry man. I'll text you tomorrow Roxanne." He said before walking away. She could still feel the blonde's eyes on her. Taking a chance and looking up there was nothing but hatred present.

"New boy toy Roxanne?" No one called her by her full name, except her parents. Reid used to when he wanted to piss the girl off, but not anymore.

She began walking in the opposite direction but Reid trailed her.

"Hey! Stop, answer me!"

"So you can keep being a dick to me? No thanks."

"Is he going to be your next victim? Someone should warn him before you ruin the kids life." Roxi picked up her pace.

"Just leave me alone Garwin."

"Hold on Hart!" He blocked her path with his arm. "I'm talking to you." The two hadn't spoken since their fight last year, after he found about what happened with Jayson…The version that student body thought was true at least.

"So how was Taylor? Did he fucking blow you mind!" Reid's eyes were dark. I could feel the power washing through him in his anger.

"Reid it wasn't what you think ok. Can you just trust me?" That seemed to make him even angrier.

"The whole mother fucking school saw you two going at it Roxi! How are you going to lie to my face about this?" His arms wrapped around my shoulders and he slammed me to the wall. Not so hard that it would damage anything, but hard enough to prove his point. He HATED being lied to.

"We aren't even really together. I've seen you kiss other girls, what's the difference?" This was the last conversation I wanted to be having. My mind was still reeling from what happened last night. Even though I'd scrubbed and I'd scrubbed I couldn't get the feel of Jayson off of me.

"I didn't take them to my dorm and fuck them Roxi! It's not the same thing. You were supposed to be mine." Still holding me he used to pick up anything around him. He broke the desk into the wall, and dismantled his bed. Few people knew about this dark side of Reid.

Although he didn't want date me, he didn't want to share. With the present situation excluded though, he treated me better than any guy I'd ever known.

"You're hurting me." I squeaked out. Although I wasn't scared I was officially too tired to argue anymore. He let go of my shoulders and I was sure they would be bruised from his hands.

"You need to leave." He walked out of the now destroyed room. I waited till I hear his Bentley purr to life before I left his house.

What do you think? A little bit of a dark Reid but don't worry, he's not going to go too nuts…Please R&R!

If people seem to like this fic, I'll try to update every week. I myself would like to see where it takes me.
