3 months later…………
The whole ordeal with Nick had caused Liberty to confide in May and they had become closer and closer and soon enough had become the best of friends. Liberty was heart broken so much that she plunged head first in her university work and ignored all signs of social life, she thought that the best way was to just submerge herself in the first priority- her education and forget about everything else, May saw this and immediately make an intervention with Liberty.
" Liberty, this is ridiculous you have been studying for months on end, you need to get out and have fun, university isn't suppose to be just about studying, there is also senior party's " May said frustrated
" Well if you really wanna go, then go but I have mid terms in 2 weeks and I got to get all 6 chapters done" Liberty exclaimed not even looking up from her books
" Liberty this isn't about the mid terms and you know it, ever since you found out about Nick having a girlfriend you have just totally put your self in this little bubble and pushed every one away, Liberty you need to go out have fun " May sighed wondering if she was getting through to Liberty at all
Liberty just rolled her eyes and looked at May " look May this has nothing to do with Nick or his girlfriend I just want to get good marks so when I finish I can get a good job"
This time May rolled her eyes "yeah, right, just promise me when you are done with the mid term, you will come out with me for some fun"
" May, I really don't care for senior parties"
"Liberty" May scolded
"ok, ok, ill go but just get off my case ok, I have this political science exam soon and I still have no idea what I'm doing" Liberty answered and shrugged her off
"I'm going to hold you to that" May said
"yeah, yeah" Liberty said pushing May out of the door and then getting back to her work.
A few minutes later the bell rang, Liberty rolled her eyes and got up " May I told you, I'll go with you just……" Liberty was cut off when she saw who it was "Nick"
She gasped and blushed suddenly.
"hey Liberty, I was ah just wondering if I could use one of your Politics books, I'm doing a minor chapter on Political law and I need some more background information before the exam" Nick smiled sheepishly
"ah sure Nick, come in, I'll get it for you"
Nick saw Liberty's book plastered all over the room and laughed a little
"what are you laughing at?" Liberty asked walking back in
Nick pointed to the books and said "it looks like your going all out"
Liberty nodded "yeah, there mid terms I have to"
"true but they are only worth 25 of your grade, it's the finals you should worry about"
Liberty smiled "yeah I guess so, but still every mark is worth something"
Nick laughed and took the book from her hand, for a moment their hands touched before pulling away " well then I'll ah leave you to it " Nick stuttered and grabbed the book from Liberty's hand
" yeah, hey ah good luck with your exams and all " Liberty blurted out
" thanks you too, hey thanks for the book, I'll give it to you asap , promise"
" take your time, no rush" Liberty smiled as Nick walked out
" thanks again Liberty, bye"
" bye" Liberty gushed before realizing what was happening with her ' get a grip girl, it's just Nick and besides he had a girlfriend, a hot better looking girlfriend' Liberty sighed at herself . Maybe May was right maybe she needed to loosen up and get out more. Liberty make a mental note to go out and have fun but after the exams, she then went on to finish off the rest of her studying.
Liberty sighed, Nick still haven't brought back the book he had borrowed from her and she was in desperate need of it, her Politics exams wasn't going to study itself, so Liberty decided to go get it off Nick, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door, but she was met by his girlfriend Anna.
"yes how may I help you?" She exclaimed rudely
" I um was looking for Nick, he borrowed one of my Politics books and I need it" Liberty said
" well he isn't here, ok, so leave" Anna replied rudely
" well can I at least get my book" Liberty said in annoyance
"No" Anna said nearly slamming the door in Liberty's face
" hey I'm not done" Liberty yelled putting her foot out stopping Anna from closing the door
" well I am, I want you to listen and to listen good, stay away from Nick or else your gonna see a side of me you haven't seen before"
" really there is another side of you….. I have already see a manipulative, cold heart, jealous, pathological lying bitch, I though that was it, hmmm I must have been mistake" Liberty said sarcastically
" stay away from my boyfriend or your gonna get what's coming to you " Anna spat furiously
" is that a threat?" Liberty raised an eyebrow
" I guess so, you'd better watch your back, I'm not nice when I'm angry" and with that Anna slammed the door
Liberty shook her head " I came here to get way from the drama and I ended up getting myself deeper in to it"
Liberty sighed and walked towards her dorm
Later that night……
"And then she said and I quote "stay away from my boyfriend or your gonna get what's coming to you " Liberty said to May
" oh my god, Lib maybe you should tell someone about this….. maybe even tell Nick his is dating a psycho" May suggested
Liberty shook her head "nah he won't believe"
"Liberty just tell someone"
" nah there just empty threats, I don't this she will do anything" Liberty sighed and got back to her work
"suit yourself" May said walking to her room and Liberty went back to studying
2 weeks later…….
" come on Lib, were gonna be later" May banged on Liberty's bed room door
" oh really May, I don't feel well, I can feel a flu coming on" Liberty complained
" no way Liberty your not getting out of this one your going you promised that you would and besides this may help you meet a new guy and get over Nick" May smiled
" I'm over Nick" Liberty shouted
" yeah keep telling yourself that honey, and maybe you will actually believe it" May rolled her eyes and laughed " now come on, let's go, lets go" She said pulling Liberty along
Liberty sighed and gave up hope that she will get out of this situation. They arrived to the party and found the music was loud, everyone was dancing wildly and alcoholic beverages being drunk from every angle. May dragged Liberty along; they pushed through people until they met some familiar faces.
" hey Liberty, I want you to meet, Angela, Farrah, Harrison and Andrew they are all from my class" May introduced them
" hi" Liberty smiled shaking their hands "nice to meet you guys"
"you too" Liberty smiled
" come on lets get something to drink" one of them suggested
As they pushed through the crowd, they came across two familiar faces- Nick and Anna, Liberty rolled her eyes as she saw them kissing, she looked so innocent to everyone else but she was a really manipulative. They both saw Liberty, Nick waved while Anna gave Liberty a dirty look. Liberty sighed and turned the other way, her eyes met with May.
"Innocent from the outside pure evil from the inside" May said rubbing Liberty's back
Liberty nodded in agreement
"Let's get something to drink" May suggested
Liberty wasn't much of a drinker so she decided a coke, May had the same. The music was blasting and people were dancing wildly, May went off to dance and Liberty stayed on the sidelines and watched. She wasn't really in the partying mood. Just as she was about to take a sip of her drink she felt some one tap on her shoulder, Liberty turned around to see Nick,
"hey Liberty" Nick smiled and pulled her in to the hug
"hey Nick" Liberty replied in shock
"having fun" Nick asked
Liberty shrugged "yeah sort of"
Nick looked at her skeptically "oh come on, you're here with me aren't you" Nick flirted
Liberty immediately became uncomfortable "were uh, Anna?" Liberty said looking around
"She is in the bathroom, freshening up, come on let's dance" Nick said puling her to the dance floor
"Nick I don't know" Liberty said pulling out of his grip
" come on live a little, besides, Anna knows we are friends, she wont mind" Nick kept persuading her
Liberty finally caved and went towards the dance floor with Nick, just then Anna came out if the bathroom, she saw Liberty and Nick dancing and was extremely aggravated, she looked over to were Liberty and May were and saw Liberty's drink, she smiled deviously ' this will teach her to come near my man'.
Liberty and Nick came back off of the dance floor, huffing and puffing from all the dancing, " man Liberty, I didn't know you could dance like that" Nick laughed
Liberty laughed to "me neither"
Liberty laughed and took a sip of her coke and immediately tasted funny, she shrugged it off, thinking it was because she left it out for to long, she took another gulp of it until she finished it off. Anna came up to them and smiled; May got suspicious, but didn't say anything to anyone. Throughout the night, Anna was being extremely nice, May and Liberty were both suspicious but couldn't put their fingers on why. After a while Liberty started to feel funny, she thought it was just a combination of her not eating all day, the heat in the room and the loud noise, that was causing her headaches, dizziness and sweating . Liberty attitude suddenly changes, she loosened up and started dancing with everyone and having a good time, May saw this strange behavior and went to see Liberty
"Lib, are you ok" May asked holding her up
" I'm fine" Liberty started laughing
"Lib, have you been drinking?" May leaned forward to smell her breath
"Nope, just because I'm partying doesn't mean, I have been drinking"
Liberty started to dance again and then fell all of sudden making May worry
May looked at Liberty and said "maybe we should take you home"
Liberty nodded " I cant get there by my self its only a block down"
"Liberty let me take you, you cant go by yourself, your barley standing" May grabbed on to Liberty
" I'm fine ok, I can do it ok" Liberty pulled her hand from May and walked away
" Liberty" May yelled out
Liberty walked into a crowd and disappears, May went after her but couldn't see her anywhere, May decided that to leave the party and go looking for Liberty.
Liberty stumbled in the hall way moving back and forth, her body ached profusely, her head was pounding and her vision began to blur, she saw some one coming towards her
" where you going sweetheart?" The husky voice asked
Liberty ignored him and walked away but he followed
" your not much of a talker are you?" he smiled
Liberty ignored him again and he began to get frustrated..
" answer me" he yelled, his breath stained with the stench of alcohol
Liberty's first instinct was to run, but because of the state she was in, she could barely, see who he was, she walked away slowly but fell on the floor. He helped her up but Liberty pushed him away with made him mad, he grabbed her hand and pushed her against the wall, Liberty lost her balance and hit her head on the wall. When Liberty came to she was in an unfamiliar room, she looked but her eyes were still blurry, she could see a figure standing in the corner of the room, she didn't recognize him but as soon as she spoke she recognized his voice.
" glad your awake" he said deviously
" where am I?" Liberty said in fright
" my room" he laughed
Liberty got up when she realized she was on a bed, she stumbled towards the door , when she came to open the door she realized it was locked, she started to panic and pulled on the door harder, she felt her body weaken, she know knew that someone must have put something in her drink, she fought of her body's urge to shut down completely, she felt to hands grab her from behind, Liberty yelled out
" help, help, please help me " She screamed as she grabbed the door and pulled on it harder
" no-one can here you" he laughed
Liberty ignored him and screamed louder, he put his hand over her mouth but she bite down hard on his hand and then kicked him in the genitals, she rummaged through the room to find anything to break the handle of the door, she rubbed her eyes to see clearer and hastily saw a figure of a lamp, Liberty grabbed it but before she could use it, Liberty felt his hands on her , she fought him off and hit him over the head with it. She suddenly felt weak, her legs crumbled and she fell, her body turning against, she kept fighting to stay away but she was so tired so tired her body ached, her eyes blurred and her face felt cold as ice. Liberty pulled her self up one more time and played with handle still no budge, a hand clammed over her mouth
"leaving so soon" he laughed wickedly moving his fingers through her hair
The strange guy dragged her towards the bed, with Liberty kicking and screaming all the way, he sat on her to reframe her from going anywhere and a pillow over her head to stop screaming he them tight her arms down and legs down
" now we are gonna have some fun" he whispered in her ear
" please, please don't, no" Liberty begged but it was no use
He grinned and whispered in her ear " no one can save you now"
Liberty's body finally collapsed and she gave in to darkness.
