Kate slowly opened her eyes, she looked down at her stomach to find Victoria's arm securely holding her close to the her. It took a while for Kate to remember everything Victoria had told her about the party. As the thoughts of what she had done played back in her head, her eyes watered once again and she started shivering, trying her best to hold back the tears that so desperately needed to fall.

Victoria must have felt her shivering because her grip tightened and she was pulled close.

The blond placed a surprisingly gentle kiss on her head.

" Shh.. Its ok Kate.. you're safe.. no one is going to hurt you anymore. I wont let them." Victoria's words sounded confident yet conflicted. After being the Queen Bee and the biggest bitch from this school it must be hard for her to say something nice.

Kate though she was going mad, because she believed the girl. This girl who had bullied her countless times just told her she would not let any harm came to her and she believed her.

"T-Thank you V-Victoria.." Kate shyly replied and held Victoria's hand, which never left her waist.

Victoria blushed at the gesture. She looked to the side to try and stop the blush creeping up her cheeks. She decided to check her phone for the time. They lost the first class..

oh well what can you do? At least the girl got some rest.. She glanced again at her phone, 3 unread texts from her minions asking where she was, was she coming to class and was everything ok.

Shit..they are gonna came check on me soon.. She looked at Kate and sighed.

" Oi Marsh.. get up." She said a bit more harshly than she meant it to be.

The smaller girl almost jumped at that. Victoria might be acting nice now but.. she was still, well, Victoria. Watching how the smaller girl looked at her with a frightened expression, she sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Calm down.. look.. if I get caught with you in my room its gonna be shit for both of us ok?

You have to go to your room now that everyone is in class."

Kate looked down sadly and nodded. She got out of the bed and was about to leave the room but a hand on her wrist stopped her. She glanced back at Victoria and tilted her head slightly to the side, like a confused puppy.

" I..i..im..s-sorry..for everything.. I really am.." Victoria looked down, tears now in her eyes as she let go of the smaller girl's hand.

The shorter girl looked at the blond's face and smiled. She means it.. she really is being genuinely nice to me..

She smiled and found a tiny bit of bravery she though lost long ago, as she gave Victoria a warm hug. The blond froze in place. She looked to the side and rubbed the back of her neck. A-Am I actually getting nervous because of hug from Kate Bible Freak Marsh?

Kate let go and look up at her.

" I forgive you.." She said with a soft smile that made Victoria's heart beat a little faster than it was supposed too.

Victoria couldn't help but smile gently in return as she watched the girl leave her room.

She then let out a breath she didn't realize she had been holding in and sat in her bed.

She reached down under her bed and pulled out a box.

Inside that box was a bottle of scotch she bough herself in case she ever needed to relax a bit. Already missed one class might as well give myself a day off..

She opened the bottle and took a large sip. The liquid burned down her throat and she closed her eyes for a second.

She started to think once again about Kate. She told herself that she had helped the girl out in a bad situation, she was now secure in her own room and there was no need for her to think about the girl again. She saved this girl's ass and that was that.

She took another sip of her beverage and leaned back against her bed.

No..that wasn't it. Sure she comforted the girl when she needed her, but part of her also needed the girl.

When she looked the girl in eyes, she saw so much loneliness.. so much pain..And the truth was, Victoria was just as broken as Kate. Just as lonely and hurt.

Victoria actually wanted to hold Kate again. The though of that terrified her. Love was not something she though about a lot. Much less involving another girl. Much less involving Kate Marsh.

She chuckled to herself and took a large gulp of the drink.

I was almost too melancholic for her. In the eyes of many people she was evil, demonic even.

And Kate was the most angelic girl she had ever laid her eyes on.

That morning they when she took her in her arms and held her as she cried, she though about how it was almost sinful for a person as corrupted and dirty as she was to be holding such a pure being in her arms.

She gave out a heavy sigh and put the bottle back in its box then proceeded to gather her large fluffy town from her closet. I need a bath a.s.a.p! A cold shower will be heaven right now..

She walked out the door to the shower room closing the door behind her.
