"Roy? What are you doing here?" Raven looked back at Kori who shrugged.
"Like I said, let's go hang out tonight … I might as well make up for what happened earlier." He gave Raven a smile, but a shiver ran down her spine. She didn't want to blow off Gar or Richard, yet Roy was the only way to not make her choose between them.
Sorry Gar … Richard …
Raven turned back and grabbed her coat.
"You are going?" Kori asked, surprised at Raven's decision.
"Yea … cover for me please Kor?" Raven begged. Kori nodded her head, but didn't like how Raven was blowing off her friends.
Sorry …
Ooo
Roy took Raven to a frat party a block away from the school. Going through the crowd, Raven regretted the decision she had made.
"Oh my gawd! Roy. Oh Roooy."
A blonde haired girl bumped by Raven to make her way to Roy. Roy hugged her and talked before Raven walked up.
"Oh Kitten, this is Raven." Kitten looked at Raven in disgust as Roy introduced them. Raven equally felt animosity between the two.
"Humph, Roy you should come hang with mee!" Kitten begged him.
"Not today baby, but I'll give ya a rain check." Roy said, while giving a wink to the prissy blonde. Kitten disappeared into the crowd while Raven watched Roy leave before returning a few minutes later.
"Want one?" Roy asked Raven, while handing her a beer.
"No." Raven said, tossing it back at him. Roy gave her a skeptical look before popping the cap open and taking a chug.
What am I doing here?
Ooo
Raven sat in the corner of the frat house's living room, depressed that she had gone with a jerk like Roy instead of Gar or Richard. She peered over to an already buzzed Roy before covering her face with her hands.
"Hey I wanna show you something." Roy said to her. Tossing the bottle on couch he was sitting on, he grabbed her hand and led her up the frat house's stairs. Raven felt nervous as she followed him down the dark hallway to one of the rooms. He opened the door and pulled her in.
"What are you doing …" Raven demanded. Roy smiled and tossed her on the bed. Raven backed up as Roy walked forward.
"Just having a little fun." His smile was more devilish now. Raven backed into a wall as Roy brushed his hand across her cheek. Raven quickly turned away. Roy crawled up the bed and held Raven against the wall, closing in on her lips.
"Get off!" Raven shoved him off towards a nearby dresser. Slamming into it, he struggled to his feet. As Raven tried getting to the door, Roy stopped her abruptly.
"What the hell! I thought this was what you wanted!" Roy held onto her arms tightly. Raven tried to break his grip, but that only made him hold her tighter. She looked into his ice blue eyes, seeing that they were now filled with anger. She felt tears forming in her own eyes.
"Let go of her."
Roy threw Raven back onto the bed and turned to face her savior. It was Gar.
"What the hell …?" Roy looked at him in surprise. Of all the people who would face up against Roy, Gar was the one to do it tonight.
"Leave her alone." Gar stated to Roy, cold but with a burning desire to kick his $$.
"Go away Gar, this doesn't have anything to do with you." Roy replied. He walked up to him, trying to intimidate him, but Gar held his ground.
"No." Roy laughed at his reply and turned for a second. Trying to catch Gar off guard, he swung around hitting Gar on his cheek. Gar stumbled, but looked back up at Roy. Roy tried to follow up with a jab to Gar's side, but he sidestepped it and elbowed Roy on the face. With that, Roy stumbled into the wall and hit the floor.
"Ahh … I think you broke my nose!" Roy wailed on the ground. Gar rushed over to Raven and grasped her hand.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine now, but how did you …?"
"Kori told me." Gar walked Raven to the door, but she stopped. Looking down at an already injured Roy, Raven kicked him in his 'parts' causing him to recoil in even greater pain. Gar laughed and took her away from her nightmare.
Ooo
Gar walked Raven all the way back to her dorm. Holding her close, he comforted a still teary eyed Raven. Upon entering her room, Raven noticed Richard laying his head on Kori's lap. They both looked up and Raven easily saw how worried they were.
"Is Raven okay?" Kori asked walking towards her. Gar let go of Raven and she walked into Kori's open arms. Tears rolled down her face, but she didn't whimper. Kori held her tight and they both sat on the bed.
"I should have been there!" Richard shouted. He punched his fist into the wall.
"I got to her just in time." Gar said, looking down at Raven.
"Your face Gar? Were you injured?" Kori noticed Gar's bruise. Richard rushed out the door and a couple minutes later, emerged with an ice pack. He handed it to Gar, who held it against his cheek.
"It shouldn't have happened …" Gar whispered. The others looked down. Even though college was fun, the dangers around them were more pronounced than before.
"I guess we better go." Richard said. He leaned over and gave Kori a kiss on the cheek and brushed Raven's hair. Gar came forward and gave Kori a little squeeze of a hug and Raven a kiss on her tear soaked cheek as well.
"Be strong …" Richard whispered.
Kori helped Raven into bed and wiped away her tears. Raven turned on her side before Kori turned off the lights.
"Sweet dreams Raven …" Kori whispered.
Ooo
Whoo … my apologies to those Speedy lovers … a story always has to have a bad guy and I chose him … bad things happen, you always gotta watch out … even if it's your friends! (sorry again Speedy fans) … so that's the end of chapter 9 … chapter 10 coming soon!
