The next morning, Deborah woke up with an awful headache and was naked. When she tried to get up, she saw her furious father looking at her. She covered herself and ran towards him. "Dad. I'm so glad you're here."
He slapped her. "Why? So I could see how far you've gone for money?"
"Dad, Serge raped me." She said, rubbing her cheek.
"How can you say that after the fun we had last night?" Serge said laughing.
"You idiot, you weren't supposed to rape her, just stage it." Roger said, punching him.
"This was your plan. That's why you took my car. You and Serge had it all planned." Deborah said, crying. "Why did you do this to me?" She said, grabbing her clothes and running out.
"Why the hell did you do this?" James asked both of them. "I'm going to kill you as soon as you get home. And you, I better never see you again near her." He said, running after Deborah.
"You screwed this up." Serge said getting dressed.
"Me? You fucking asshole. You weren't supposed to touch her. Forget about getting paid."
"She wanted it."
"Sure, after you drugged her, she begged for it. Watch your back from now on. Be prepared for anything, because if she gets pregnant, you're dead."
In her room, Deborah locked the door and took a shower. She began crying and scrubbing herself trying to get Serge's smell off her. After drying herself and getting dressed she packed all her clothes and her mother's jewelry. She didn't want to lose the only thing left of her mother, but she needed the money, so pawning them would be the only solution.
A knock on her door vanished her thoughts. She quickly hid the suitcases underneath her bed and opened the door. James stood at the doorway.
"Sorry. Can I come in?" He asked.
"Well, this is your house. I don't see why you can't." She said walking to the bed and sitting down.
James grabbed a chair and sat in front of her. "How do you feel?"
She burst into tears. "What do you think? My brother sets me up, my ex boyfriend rapes me and my father thought the worst of me."
"I know the truth now. I'm sorry, but that was my first reaction when your brother took me over there this morning and I saw you sleeping naked next to that idiot."
"It's all my fault, you told me not to go to the bar again and I went." She said as he grabbed her and hugged her. "Why are you being so nice to me?"
"Because something horrible happened to you. Something that no woman should go through. Now you should rest for a while. I'll call your school and tell them you're sick. I'll be working from home, so I'll be downstairs if you need anything." James said leaving.
She took out the suitcases and looked out the window. First she walked towards her desk and took out a piece of paper. "Dad, I really need to get out of here. Maybe I'm pregnant and that would be awful to your image. I'll do the right thing and disappear. Love, Deborah"
She placed the letter on her pillow and climbed out the window with her suitcases.
