Lil walked back into her bedroom, wearing her new necklace that Tommy had given her, of course.
"Do you like?" She asked him once she was in the bedroom.
"Yeah. Sure." He answered blankly.
At that last comment, Tommy brushed past Lil and made his way to the door.
"C'ya." He said.
Lil was completely taken aback by what just happened. She had the impression that Tommy had liked her. Was she wrong? What had happened since she left to go to the bathroom? She ran out to the hallway.
"Tommy! Tommy, wait. Come back here."
Tommy turned around and rolled his eyes. He made his way back to Lil.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
Tommy grabbed her arm and pulled her into her room and shut the door.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
Lil nodded faintly.
"I know you, Tommy. There's something wrong, and I'd like to know what it is."
Tommy laughed.
"That's pretty funny, Lil, because you don't tell us, or me for that matter, when there's something wrong with you."
Lil was confused. Tommy had changed within the last ten minutes.
"What are you talking about, Tommy?"
Tommy sat down on her bed, keeping his eyes on her floor.
"When were you gonna tell me you were raped?" He asked her quietly.
Lil's eyes got big.
"What did you say?" She hissed.
"You know what I said, Lil. You just don't want to acknowledge it."
"How did you know about that?" She yelled.
"Did Phil read my diary and then tell you? Who else knows?!"
Tommy looked ashamed.
"I read your diary."
"I can't believe this! That is an invasion of privacy! You had no right!" Lil was on the verge of tears.
"You wouldn't tell me what was wrong! Even Phil was worrying!"
"Get out, Tommy." Lil said quietly.
"What?"
"I said get out!" She screamed. "Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Tommy went for the door.
"You should really tell the police, Lil. Maybe you're not the only one who he's done this to."
"Out!" She screamed through her tears.
Tommy left and as he shut the door, he could hear shattering glass. He knew that she had thrown something against the door.
Tommy made his way back downstairs to the party, all the while trying to hold the tears that he knew were coming.
