Julie released from my arms and turned her back to the two of us.
"Connie, I swear, nothing is going on!" I said.
"It doesn't look like it to me. I come out here and find my boyfriend hugging some other girl," Connie cried.
"It's not some other girl. It's Julie."
Her face grew even angrier than before.
"I mean, that's not what I meant. I mean, that we're just friends and I was comforting her because she was upset." I continued.
"Chris came back inside of the banquet hall and said my boyfriend was trying to steal his girl. So I came outside and I guess you could say he was right." Connie yelled.
At that moment, Julie turned back around. Her makeup was smeared all over her face because of the amount of crying she had been releasing.
"I wasn't trying to steal your man. Chris brought me out here and he was basically threatening me and Guy came out and protected me. That's all that happened. I swear."
Connie began to smile again.
"I'm so proud of you," She stated.
Connie walked over to me and gave me a hug. I saw Julie walk away. She turned around while walking and gave me a strange look.
I couldn't tell what it meant, but I knew that she was obviously trying to tell me something.
Was what Julie said what she really mean?
Is that all she wanted to happen?
THE NEXT DAY
I decided to make final amends with Connie over what had happened the night before.
I bought some more of her favorite flowers and went over to her dorm room. I knocked on her door and no one answered.
After knocking and knocking for what seemed like ages, I left the flowers at her door and decided to go back to my room.
I was walking up to the main entrance door to the dorms when I ran into Julie.
"Hey Julie, what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, actually, I was coming here to see you." She replied.
"See me?"
"Yeah, I wanted to thank you for the other night."
"It was nothing, really. I mean, what kinda person would I be if I just let one of my friends and teammates get attacked by someone else."
Julie smiled her gorgeous smile.
There was a slight pause but Julie began talking again.
"Can we talk?"
"Sure, what about?"
"Um, not here."
Julie motioned her head to my room and we both walked there.
I closed the door behind me.
"You don't have to worry," I began, "Charlie isn't here."
"Oh, okay."
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
"I know you were a little confused about what was happening last night. It's like, Chris was supposed to be my boyfriend and he was calling me names and touching me…everywhere."
Julie sat down on my bed and let out a loud sigh. I sat down next to her.
"And…" I said.
"And, Chris is mad that I broke up with him. But I had to. It would be wrong and really, weird if I stayed with him after what he did."
"What did he do?"
I began to become nervous for I feared what she would tell me.
"Last week, I went over to Chris's room to hang out for the night. Everything was going fine until her offered me a drink. Chris gave me a Sprite in a glass and I drank it all because I was extremely thirsty. A while after that, I started feeling dizzy and strange but I just played it off and thought I was getting a little sick or something. I woke up the next morning in Chris's bed naked with a massive headache. I was a little confused over what happened the night before because I couldn't really remember anything after that drink. Chris's roommate told me that he was surprised that I didn't remember last night seeing as though Chris and I had sex."
"Oh."
"No, listen, I don't remember having sex. I know that if I had the choice to with him, I wouldn't have but I did. And I realized that he drugged me. That he drugged me to have sex with him. And I'm his girlfriend. Whom else did he do this to?"
Julie began to cry again and I was truly scared over what she had just told me.
"Connie, I swear, nothing is going on!" I said.
"It doesn't look like it to me. I come out here and find my boyfriend hugging some other girl," Connie cried.
"It's not some other girl. It's Julie."
