~Vincent~

"This was not the deal you idiot!" My sister yells and I distance the phone from my ear a bit, wincing.

"I'm sorry Sofia, I had a lot going on and-"

"-A month. Vinny, a month and you didn't even call once. Dad's been so worried, but he said he wasn't going to call you. He wanted to give you space. I had to call, to see how my brother is doing, even if he doesn't care how I'm doing"

"I'm sorry" *beep beep* She hung up. I sigh and call the phone again, but she doesn't pick, neither does dad. After a few more tries I decide to let it go and go back to my project.

After the first two weeks of slacking, full business started, it now feels like college. The parties have been happening and I sure as hell have attended each and every one of them. I would have hosted mine, but I hate cleaning up and that's what has to be done after a party. And besides, my house isn't too close to the school.

We've been having basketball practices, but we haven't played any game. There has been, but considering we're still freshmen...

As I type the last line of my project, I send it to Mrs Jackson's email immediately. I hate english assignments. Urgh. I sigh in relief and I decide to go for a stroll around campus. It's weekend and no one's really around, except people like me who have projects which are due.

I just walk around aimlessly. But then I hear a faint whimper coming from one of the doors.

"Shut the damn fuck up" someone growls and I freeze. Nah, that's not happening on my watch. I walk closer to the red door and peep through the hole, I can see a blur vision of a girl on her knees, he's forcing her to give him a damn blowjob. I decide against trying the door handle, it's obviously locked. But then, an idea hits me.

I knock.

"Who-"

"-Are you in here? Shorty, you said to meet you in the hall, but I didn't find you. Are you in here?" I ask and I look into the hole again. He whispers something in her ear and she nods. He enters a corner and then she opens the door. I look at her poor attempt to look 'okay'.

"Who are you-"

"-Shh. I'm trying to save you"

"Oh" she doesn't smile, I still see the fear in her eyes.

"I-I'm busy now, let's meet later" I know what's she's doing. He's manipulating her.

"Are you serious? I came all the way, just to see you. How can you chase me away again!" I exclaim, faking a sob.

"I-I'm so-"

"-No. I'm done with this. Let's go" I grab her hand, making sure my grip isn't too strong, then I drag her out of that area entirely. Once we get somewhere safe, she bursts into tears.

"Th-thank you. Thank you so much. He-he was going to rape me. I thought *hiccup* I thought..." she cries more and I hug her.

"You thought what?" I ask, softly and she sniffles.

"My friends and I went to a dating app, just for fun. I started chatting with a guy and it was very fun. After a while, he started *hiccup* sending me pics and said to send mine back, I did. But then, the pics got more and more exposing. Until, one day he sent a dic *hiccup* pic, he said to send a picture of my tits, I told my friends and they told me to, I did. Then it continued like that, he got really flirty, until *hiccup* until he said he wanted to see me face to face. He said luckily he attend my college and I couldn't be any happier. We agreed to meet in class 44. He came late.and I didn't notice when he locked the door behind him. He told me to get on my knees and blow him *hiccup* off. I was disgusted and tried to leave. But he threatened to release the pics, my nude pics" she bursts into tears again.

"I-I didn't know, he was my economics lecturer. I really didn't know."

"I'll be honest, it was really stupid of you to send those pics."

"Yeah, no shit. I just thought that maybe for once, I had found love. He said he loved me" she cries even harder. I frown, tears have always been a weakness for me.

"How long did it go on?" I ask, wiping her tears and she hiccups again.

"About 4 months"

"4 months? We haven't been here long."

"Oh, no no, I'm a sophomore"

"Oh. Well, the, uh, nude pics you sent, did u send any with your face."

"N-no. My friends said not to"

"Good. If he realises them, at least your face isn't there. "

"I-I didn't think of that" she goes silent. " but he might tell everyone that I'm the one"

"Look, he's a professor, we can go to the station, you report, I'll be your witness, what do you say?"

"Y-you'd do that? For me?"

"I'd do it for anyone else in your position too."

"I uh, thanks, but I don't want to get the police involved"

"No problem. If he disturbs you again, just tell him to "fuck off" trust me when I say he won't send the pics. He respects his job too much to do that"

"I hope so. Thanks, a lot. I'll never forget this. You have a really nice heart" she whispers and I smile.

"Anytime. What's your name?"

"Summer"

"Vincent"

"I know. Well, everyone kinda knows" she says and I nod. She hands me her phone and I get the message. Punching in my number, I give it back to her. She flashes my phone and I save her number.

"I'll call you!" She yells and runs away. I sigh and walk back to my dorm, suddenly tired. Imagine my shock when I meet a passed out red head on my bed.
