It seemed like the perfect morning, the day was sunny, Sydney finally managed to go to bed early the night before despite the ton of homework high school demanded. She was able to make herself waffles for breakfast since her dad always left very early to the store, and with her grandma still touring the world: it was very long since she had something that was not cereal and milk for breakfast. But her perfect morning was about to get shattered as the minute she walked into the school, she saw Sophia running past her crying. Sydney wanted to chase after her, but Olive approached her with apprehension in her face.
-We have a very very serious problem Sydney...
-What? What is it? - Sydney asked in fear.
Sydney expected a ton of things. The past year had been full of so many changes for Sydney and her friends. First she started going out with Harry, then her friends Olive and Emmy came out to her and also revealed they were dating one another, then her father and Sophia's mother started dating one another and then even got married shortly after Sophia's mother got pregnant. Plus there was also Sophia confessing how she lost her virginity the summer before high school. So for Sydney, any new status quo shake up in her life was possible now; except nothing that could actually mean seeing any of her friends getting hurt. However what Olive told her made her blood boil and without a word, she ran out to find where Sophia was. It didn't take long, as Sophia was sitting behind a tree in a nearby park, hugging her knees and crying.
-Sophia?
-Leave me alone...
-It's not your fault...
-WHO CARES! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN MY MOM HEARS ABOUT THIS?
-Wait... were you aware that the guy you lost your virginity to was recording while you had sex?
-NO! OF COURSE NOT!
-Then it's not your fault and...
-You don't get it do you Sydney? My mom expected me to marry in a white dress and that my first time was with the love of my life and definitely not published on a porn site...
-We'll fix this... I promise...
-No, you can't fix this Sydney. My life is over... just over...
16 Months Ago:
Sophia lay naked in a bed with only a bed sheet covering her, as a young man also naked laid next to her under the blanket. As Sophia looked up at the ceiling, with a big grin she said, "Wow, that was amazing." The young man smirked and said, "Oh you better believe it. Greatest sex of my life." Then Sophia looking a bit nervous said, "You really mean it? I mean... you know that was my first time." The young man with a grin said, "Girl, you rode me like a pro. I am never gonna forget this." Then Sophia looked at a clock nearby and said, "Shoot. My grandparents are supposed to pick me up at the beach in a half hour. I should go." Then as Sophia got up and began to put her underwear and clothes back on, the young man remained on the bed as he said, "Hey. Don't get dressed too fast. I wanna watch you really bend over as you get those clothes back on." As Sophia dressed herself, she smirked and said, "You'll have those pictures you took of me to remember that. Just don't share them with anyone like you promised." The young man nodded and said, "Whatever you say you sexy thing." Sophia then fully dressed, leaned over and kissed the young man on the lips, and then said, "Thank you for making my first time amazing." Sophia then left the room, as the young man sat silent for a moment. Then the young man went over to a backpack nearby, and pulled out a video camera that has been sticking out of the bag the whole time. The young man turned the recording feature off. Then he started to replay the recent recording, with a big grin on his face.
Present Day:
Sydney was sitting next to Sophia on a park bench as Sophia held her phone out. On the phone screen was a naked Sophia sitting on top of a naked guy as the two were having sex. Sophia then shut the video off as she began to cry. Sydney then looked at Sophia with concern.
-Who sent this?
-Some guys in gym class were apparently looking at it, and one guy sent it to me asking if it was really me, and if he wanted me to do him next.
-Sophia, I...
-Oh, but it gets worse Sydney. That idiot I lost my virginity to. He also took pictures of me naked. Like... a bunch of them. He said they were just for him to remember me by... and he obviously lied.
-Sophia, we need to do something about this. Tell the principal. Tell the police. Tell...
-No Sydney! If my mom finds out I was a having sex with a bunch of guys last summer like a stupid senseless slut... she'll never look at me the same way again. I... I can't Sydney. I can't.
-But Sophia, this isn't going to just go away.
-I mean... it might. Online fads come and go in an instant now. Plus if anyone annoys me about it, I'll just ignore them like we were told to do with annoying bullies back in middle school.
-But Sophia...
-Please Sydney. Don't say anything about this to my mom. Please.
-Ugh... I... okay Sophia. Okay...
16 Months Ago:
Sophia walked into a small cafe near a beach wearing a tight orange bikini as she turned her head several times. Sophia then went over to a counter and approached one of the waiters as she said, "Hey. You know Derren right? You know where he is? We've been meeting here every morning for a week now, and I just wanted to know what's keeping him." The waiter then said, "Didn't you hear? He's getting married this weekend to his high school sweetheart. I thought you knew. You two always hang out, I thought you were his sister or something." The waiter then walked away as Sophia had a shocked look on her face. Sophia then got out her phone and said to herself, "Search on social media. Why didn't I ever look him up on social media. If I did I would've known for sure if he..." Then Sophia froze in shock as she saw before her several pictures of the young man she had recently had sex with, and a young woman his age. Tears then appeared in Sophia's eyes as she ran out of the cafe starting to cry.
Present Day:
In the Reynolds family home, a very pregnant Angela was sitting in front of her laptop at the kitchen table working as Max stepped in. Max smiled as he gave Angela a kiss on the cheek and then spoke to her.
-Hey sweety. How's work going?
-Pretty good honey. Getting adjusted to working from home has been weird, but I better get used to it once the baby is born.
Max then sat down next to Angela and now began to look a bit nervous.
-Angela... are you ever mad at me deep down inside for getting you... you know...
-Pregnant? Max, we were both fully consenting adults when it happened... all thirty times. If anything I was mad at myself for not setting a better example to Sophia. But... I could never be mad at falling in love with the greatest man I ever knew, who I am proud to have be the father of my new baby.
Then Sydney and Sophia suddenly walked into the kitchen as Max and Angela looked at them. However the first thing they noticed was Sophia was wearing glasses. Angela was the first to speak as she looked at Sophia with confusion.
-Sophia, hey. Um... did I totally miss the part where your vision got suddenly impaired?
Sophia then took off her glasses and held them out as she spoke to her mom.
-No mom, they're just fashion glasses. They're like ten bucks at the store. See. The lenses here are just a thick plastic.
-So... is this for a play, or just a fashion statement?
-It's... my new sophomore look. Anyway, me and Sydney have a bunch of homework to do. See you both later.
Sophia and Sydney then both headed out of the kitchen as Max and Angela looked at each other with confused looks.
15 Months Ago:
Sophia laid in her bed naked with an older African American man next to her who was also naked. Sophia smiled while breathing heavily as she said, "Wow, that was intense. So... did you like?" The older man smiled as he got up and said, "Man. I guess the rumors are true. The Mischievous Middle School Slut really is better in bed than any college school girl sluts out there are." As Sophia laid on her side she said, "So on a scale from 1 to 10, how good is my body, and how good was the sex?" As the man put on his clothes he took a good long look at Sophia as he said, "Your body is definitely a 10. The sex... oh God, it was an 11. How is it a girl as young as you got so good at sex?" Sophia made a dirty little smile as she said, "I've had plenty of time of practice. So... would you like to stick around for a bit and talk or..." Then the man said, "Nah. I gotta get home to my girlfriend. But call me again if you got another itch to scratch." Then the man headed out of Sophia's room. Suddenly, Sophia's face switched to one of sadness as tears began to appear on her eyes. Then Sophia rolled up into a ball starting to sob.
Present Day:
Sydney and Sophia were both in Sydney's room as Sophia was sitting in front of a mirror applying make up to her face. Sydney sat next to Sophia with concern in her face and tone.
-Sophia, first you out of nowhere get fake glasses. Now you're applying way too much makeup to your face. And is that hair dye I see in your bag?
-Yeah. I was thinking about going for a blonde look like Olive.
-Sophia, why are you suddenly trying to change your entire appearance?
Sophia then turned to look at Sydney with frustration in her face and voice.
-Why Sydney!? Because my stupid face is now plastered across a stupid sex tape that most of the guys in school have seen now. So until this whole thing dies down, I'm gonna have to change my face to keep people from recognizing me.
-Sophia, this isn't healthy. You can't just put on a pair of glasses and change your hair a bit and expect people not to recognize you.
-Why not? It works with Superman and Supergirl.
-Sophia... you can't hide your true self from the world. How long are you gonna do this? A week? A month? A year? A decade?
-I'll do it as long as it takes to protect myself Sydney. Speaking of which, I need to go to the mall and buy some bulky long sleeve sweaters to wear. Since every guy in school now clearly knows my exact breast size, bulky sweaters are the perfect way to make sure they can't recognize me by that feature on me.
Sophia then stood up as Sydney looked at Sophia with an upset face.
-Sophia, this is messed up.
-I know. But it's not my fault boys spend way too much time every day in school checking out the size of our boobs.
-It's not that Sophia. I mean, going to your mom or my dad for help would be much more useful than just getting a new attire.
-Sydney... look, I can handle this. Okay?
Then Sophia stormed out of the room as Sydney sat with a confused and upset look on her face.
15 Months Ago:
Sophia sat in her bedroom alone as she held her phone in her hand. Sophia dialed a number, and then heard Sydney's voice say, "Hey. This is Sydney. I'm busy with music camp right now and won't be able to come to the phone in a long time. But if you leave a message..." Sophia then turned the message off, and dialed another number. Then Sophia heard an automatic message that said, "The number you are calling is out of our service zone." Then Sophia turned her phone off and said to herself, "Stupid Olive and Emmy for being on vacation in another country all summer. Err. And so is my brother. Guess that leaves..." Then Sophia dialed a number, and then heard her mother Angela say, "Hey Sophia. I'm really, really busy helping Max set up his second store right now. What you're calling for, can it wait?" Sophia sat silent for a few seconds, but then a few tears appeared in her eyes as she calmly said, "Okay mom. Later." Then Sophia turned off her phone as she walked out of the bedroom beginning to cry.
Present Day:
Max was sitting on the couch in the living room looking at a photo album. Sydney then stepped into the living room as Max noticed her.
-Oh hey Syd. Is Sophia upstairs?
-Nah, she wanted to go to the mall to buy a new sweater. So... looking at my baby pictures to jog the old memories of what it's like to change diapers?
As Sydney sat down, Max sighed and then looked at Sydney.
-Actually... I was just thinking about everything that happened before you were born. Alicia... your mother... we waited so long to have you. It was very important to us for the timing to be right, and for well: everything to be right. We talked to doctors before it happened, Alicia started taking prenatal vitamins. When your mom was pregnant with you... we were ready. But this time...
Max sighed as Sydney then tried to continue his sentence.
-This time you're not ready? But dad, you and Angela both have great jobs. We'll be able to provide for this new baby, no problem. Plus, this baby is gonna have an awesome older sister who is gonna love babysitting her for free... except every other Friday when I'm out with Harry.
-Thanks Sydney. But it's just... I feel like me and Angela both set a bad example to you and Sophia by having... you know... before our wedding.
-You mean sex? Dad, you and Angela love each other. You're not two confused hormonal teenagers. You're two intelligent, accomplished, and experienced adults that know what you want. And yes, technically you both made a mistake. But seeing how you two have handled dealing with your mistake with such maturity and determination... it really is inspiring to see. And by the way... this new baby on the way is no mistake. It's gonna be a miracle.
Max smiled as he hugged Sydney and then looked at her again.
-Thanks Syd. It means so much to hear you say that. You should really tell that to Angela too.
-What do you mean?
-Well Sydney, the truth is... Angela has always felt really guilty about getting pregnant the first time back when she was still in high school. She may seem tough and strict on Sophia at times, but Angela has some deep-routed pain she's been working through a long time when it comes to mistakes. Trust me, if you ever make a mistake, she is definitely someone you want to talk to.
-Hmm. Dad... um... Sophia is dealing with something right now I think she and her mom should really talk about.
-What is it?
-Um... maybe you should pick her up at the mall right now and bring her home, and we can go from there.
15 Months Ago:
Sophia stood silently in the kitchen as she mixed rat poison, bleach, and other harmful liquids into a glass in front of her. Sophia then held the glass of toxic liquid before her. Tears appeared in her eyes as she trembled. Sophia then looked at an envelope near her that said, "To Mom, I'm Sorry". Sophia then held the glass of toxic liquid very close to her face... and then she dumped it in the sink. Sophia then fell to the ground as she curled up in a ball and began to sob.
Present Day:
Sophia was walking through the mall buying new sweaters as she tried to take her mind off recent events. The images of herself complete naked, and the video of herself having sex kept poisoning her mind. But what felt even more toxic, were the recent memories of her female peers at school making fun of her for it, and her male peers who made horrible propositions to have sex with her as well. As Sophia walked around looking at the stuff in the stores, she noticed that a certain man was constantly around her. She tried to think it was her mind playing games until she went to the parking lot to wait for Max who had texted her to go wait for him. As she waited the man approached her.
-Hey, you're the hottie from the video. The Little Lustful Beauty video, right?
To say that Sophia's eyes opened wide was an understatement. She was so shocked that she didn't notice when this man pushed her against the wall and tried to pull her blouse down at the shoulders
-HEY!
-Yeah, it is you... oh how have I dreamed to have you do me like that.
-LET ME GO!
Sophia began to get scared, especially because she was wearing a short skirt and he was trying to get his hands under it.
-Come on, you're going to love this.
-NO!
He began to pull her to a nearby car.
-We can do it right here if you want.
Sophia was terrified, as it was a full grown man and definitely more stronger than her. He opened the backdoor of the car and forced her in.
-STOP, PLEASE!
-Hey, we can film it if you want...
Sophia closed her eyes as she cried, as there was no way she could keep that man from doing what she knew he was about to do. But then suddenly she heard was him screaming and the sound of a fight. Sophia sat up as she suddenly saw Max being restrained by several security guards.
-HE WAS TRYING TO RAPE THE GIRL! - Max screamed.
Then all went black. When her eyes opened Sophia realized she surrounded by paramedics, and Max was sitting near her.
-Oh God... you didn't call my mom right? - Sophia said in fear.
Max nodded his head and spoke.
-Of course I did. But... Sophia, Sydney said you had something important to talk to her about it. Does whatever happened just now have something to do with it.
Tears then appeared in Sophia's eyes as she suddenly reached out and hugged Max. Max closed his eyes as he hugged Sophia back and spoke to her.
-It's okay Sophia. I'm here. You can tell me everything if you want. However, I think you should tell your mother too.
Sophia nodded, as the moment she feared for a long time was about to arrive...
13 Months Ago:
Sophia sat in an office with a therapist, as she said, "So I guess that's my entire week in a nutshell." The therapist then said, "That's good. So... you haven't had any thoughts of suicide lately then?" Sophia turned her head and said, "No. Seeing my friends again this week has made the start of high school much better for me." The therapist then said, "Well I can definitely tell you're doing better this week. You have a lot more energy, and you seem happier too. Still, I think you should really talk to your mom about what happened to you this summer." Sophia looking worried said, "No. She can't know. Please don't tell her. I... I can't let her see me as some broken stupid slut." The therapist then said, "Well if you are feeling broken, your mom can help you rebuild yourself." Sophia sighed and said, "I know. But... my mom... my mom will only settle for seeing me be successful. I can't ever let her know what happened this summer. Please don't tell her." The therapist sighed and said, "As a minor, if your mom asks me point blank what I know you did last summer, I'll have to tell her. But for now... okay, I won't say anything Sophia. But I do hope you change your mind." Sophia looked down as she sighed and said, "We'll see..."
Present Day:
Max stepped into the home as Sophia followed him in. Angela then rushed over to Sophia and hugged her.
-Oh my God. My little girl. Are you okay?
-Yes mom.
Max then put him and Sophia's coats away as he spoke.
-We already gave our statement to the police. Anyway, I'll leave you two alone to talk.
Max then walked out of the room as Angela and Sophia sat down on the couch.
-Are you sure you're okay Sophia?
Tears then appeared in Sophia's eyes as she turned her head.
-No mom, I'm not. It was scary when that guy grabbed me. But what was even scarier was... I deserved it.
-What? No Sophia. No girl ever deserves to go through what you did.
-But you don't get it mom. That guy got all turned on by me because... he saw me online naked and having sex.
Suddenly Angela's face became one of shock.
-What!?
-Mom... last year during the summer when I was hanging out at the beach all of the time... I had sex with several young men... and one of them recorded having sex with me, and even took multiple nude pictures of me; all of which ended up online.
Angela suddenly looked away from Sophia briefly as she put her hands on the sides of her head. Tears appeared in Sophia's eyes as she continued to speak.
-I felt awful after that summer, and haven't had sex with anyone since then. I felt so awful I wanted to kill myself. However I've been trying so hard to be strong and not to be that stupid slut I once was. But then somehow the video and those pictures started spreading around the school and... I thought if I ignored it, it would go away. I didn't want you to know mom. I didn't want you to see how broken I was.
Then suddenly Angela reached out and hugged Sophia. Tears appeared in Angela's eyes as she spoke.
-I will always love you Sophia, no matter how broken you are. You can always come to me with any pain or suffering you're dealing with. I'm your mother, and I will always be here for you, and I am sorry if I ever did anything to make you think you couldn't come to me. If it ever seems like I'm tough on you, it's just because I wanted you to be better off than I was.
Sophia then looked at her mother with tears still in her eyes.
-But I'm not mom. I feel like a major screw up.
-But you're not Sophia. You got away from the men that brought you pain. You surround yourself with good friends. You're getting better. If anything, I feel like I'm the one who screwed up getting pregnant out of marriage a second time and...
-Mom, don't do this again. You found the right guy, and you're married to him now.
-Yes... yes, I am. How about a pact? No more sex before marriage for either of us.
-Well that's not fair. You're married now.
-True. But at the very least... promise me if you feel tempted to cross that line again, you'll talk to me, or Sydney, or Max, or someone close to you. Okay?
-Okay mom.
-Now then. I have some calls to make.
Angela then stood up as Sophia looked confused.
-Mom, what are you talking about?
-Oh, whoever uploaded those pictures and video of you was doing something very illegal. We are about to file another complaint with the police, and start an investigation into taking the man who made and uploaded this material of you down. Now then, wanna watch your mama serve up some justice?
Sophia smiled as she stood up.
-Sure thing mom... and thank you.
