There was a knock at my bedroom door and I got up from my bed, and slumped lazily towards the door.
"Hi…Did I catch you at a bad time?" Torn asked, I had been crying for an hour.
"No, no, you're fine." His blue eyes seemed like puppy dog eyes and they made me smile. "What do you want?"
"Oh I wanted to tell you that I was sorry that I opened my mouth. The last time I was grounded I was sleeping with my teddy bear."
"So you were like what? Ten years old?" I asked.
"No, yesterday." He tried to keep a straight face, but he couldn't and neither could I.
"Okay then…Do you wanna come in?" I asked, and he came in and sat back on my bed, staring at the ceiling. I joined in with the ceiling staring.
"So how is school when you're the Baron's daughter?" He asked nonchalantly.
"Oh man, it sucks!" I laughed dryly.
"Really? I thought that maybe it would be the other way around." He said sincerely surprised.
"Yeah, I mean everybody expects you to be on top. I had it all; everything that any girl my age wants; lots of friends, head cheerleader, miss popular. I mean I thought it's what I wanted, but now that I got it…well had it…"
"What happened?" Torn asked concerned.
"Well it's about the party. That guy I was with got me drunk and took advantage of me. I'm not trying to play the victim; I shouldn't have drunk the vodka…"
"Whoa, that's pretty serious, Ashelin. That's considered rape. Did he even use a condom?"
"Well yeah…I mean he said he did…so yeah…" As soon as I thought about it my stomach churned. Did he use a condom, or was it a lie? I suddenly didn't feel so good as I clutched my stomach.
"Are you ok," He asked. As he asked, I vomited by his feet. "So I'll take that as a no."
