Greer walked past the table where Brenna Carver sat, rumors were swirling around the school like wildfire. Terrible rumors about her and a newer student, or at least everyone believed him to be a newer student; truth was Greer remembered him from when they were children. Pete and Brenna were inseparable as children; from preschool on they were the best of friends. Then Brenna came to school one day without Pete, then the next, and the next and Pete never returned, and neither really did Brenna. Sure she was there but it was like her sprit was broken, shattered somehow. Now it seemed to make sense, if one of the rumors was true. Pete hadn't changed schools, Pete was sent to a correctional rehab, he had been sexually abused and was keeping the cycle going against his youngest sister and he had told Brenna. Greer wasn't convinced that Brenna had known, but then she heard the other rumor.

"Come on Greer!" Sasha said calling Greer over and out of her own thoughts. "What are you thinking about? You seemed deeply troubled."

"Just about the rumors, you know Pete and Brenna." Greer said and Sasha's smile dropped.

"You hear that he attacked her? That's why she's so on edge lately. I don't believe it for a second, seems real convenient that it comes out as soon as he returns. He's too good looking to be like that anyway, shame he's gay." Sasha said as she started eating her lunch.

"What do you mean attacked her?" Greer asked concerned.

"Apparently he told her before he disappeared what was 'going on' and asked her to sleep with him and she refused, so he tried to force himself on her." Sasha said nonchalantly. "Of course it has to be a lie, she's just jealous all the attention is on him."

"Sasha, don't victim blame, it's below you." Greer snarled as she looked over toward Brenna, the girl was at the same table as Pete but as far from him as she could be, she hadn't touched her food or looked up at all. Greer felt terrible for the girl, truth or not it was terrible rumors that were going around the school.

Greer walked into the party with Sasha at her side, it was dark and dingy inside but it was better than being outside with the smokers.

"I'm going to get beer, you want any?" Sasha asked and Greer shook her head.

"Later, maybe."

"Suit yourself." Sasha said walking away. Greer walked around trying to find someone she knew and actually would want to talk with. That's when a door slammed open and Brenna walked out, screaming.

"Gezz Brenna, relax we were just joking." Ford, Brenna's best friend said walking out behind the girl. "Come on Pete's not that bad of a guy."

"Fuck you Ford." Brenna said, tears starting to fall down her face. "He's just lying to you, to all of you. He's not gay, he's a fucking predator and he wasn't at some prep school."

"Yeah right Bren." Ford rolled her eyes. "Stop being so dramatic."

"He's a fucking sexual predator and he'll do it again."

"Aw Bren," Pete walked out and gave his best charming smile, he stepped up to Brenna and ran a hand up her cheek cupping it. "I wouldn't hurt you." Greer could see Brenna shaking as Pete leaned into her and whispered something. At that Brenna threw her arm up knocking his away from her.

"Stay away from me." She yelled turning away walking quickly away. Greer waited a moment before following her outside.

"Brenna wait!" Greer yelled as she chased after her. Brenna turned and Greer ran full force into her, Brenna pushed her off angrily.

"What the fuck do you want!" Brenna yelled tears streaming down her face.

"What was that?"

"No one believes me!" Brenna said, sobs racking her body. "No one believes me, what he is. No one, not even my best friend." Brenna pushed against Greer again and Greer grabbed her wrists pulling them, causing Brenna to look at her.

"I believe you." Greer said and Brenna's eyes widened as she started bawling, she wrapped her arms tightly around Greer and started crying.

a/n: On a pretty serious note if this or anything similar has or is happening to you, tell someone, talk with someone any one. A friend, a parent, trusted adult, tell anyone. It will help. What happened is not your fault. I will listen if you want, trust me just talking about it helps. Don't hold it in and let it destroy you, you are not at fault, you deserve much better than hiding a secret that isn't your fault. So many people are willing to listen, if you don't think you have anyone or don't want to tell someone you know or whatever reason you have I will listen. Sorry for the long semi dramatic note but it is so important to hear, you aren't alone.
