"Remember our deal, Reg?" Sean said quietly as Reggie pulled her shirt back on. "You will do what I say, and if you don't. Everyone will know what you did last summer."

Reggie was terrified, and standing up for herself, trying to end whatever was going on with him backfired. She was on the verge of tears again. She hadn't been this close to Sean in months, but the moment he approached her she knew that she had to go into this fake version of herself that he controlled. He started getting closer to after the last dive meet they had competed at. She didn't want to get into this again with him. She wanted to run away but she felt like she didn't have a choice. It was either play his game or come clean to everyone about all that happened last summer.

"Reggie!" He snapped at her, grabbing her arm, causing her to lose her train of thought. "You will behave, right?"

Reggie nodded, remembering last summer.

**Flashback**

It was late on a Friday night, they were watching the newest Avengers movie. Her head was laid on the pillow on his lap, and Sean was stroking her hair. He paused the movie and pulled her up to sit up. He brushed her hair behind her ear, and leaned in to kiss her. She could taste the lingering of the alcohol that they had been drinking. She had sobered up enough to know what was happening. His hands were working their way up underneath her shirt, up her back. She tried to pull away, but he held on tight.

"I should probably head home." She said quietly as he kissed her down her neck. She was struggling to get him off of her.

"Come on, babe." His words were slurring together.

"But it's almost curfew, I can't be late again." She said as his hands found the clasp of her strapless bra and hooked it. It fell off and he tossed it aside.

"We're having a good night. Don't ruin this for us." He said, pushing her down onto the couch, pulling up her shirt to expose her bare chest.

"Stop!" She said sternly. Sean paused and sat up. Frustrated, he pushed his hair back and sat up. He threw her shirt at her as she reached down to grab her bra.

"Tomorrow is Jace's party, we're staying late." He spoke. Reggie could hear the frustration in his voice, but she has let him know before that she was not ready for what he had in mind.

"I can't." She spoke up, knowing that he wasn't inviting her, but telling her that it was what they were doing. She had seen less of her friends over the past few weeks. When she did see them, she was always on edge, afraid that they would find out what was happening. She knew that Sean was trouble, but she loved the attention. She liked feeling wanted by a guy after watching her best friend have a constant parade of guys after her. Reggie couldn't help but be attracted to him when he was being thoughtful and kind. He could be a very charismatic guy who made her feel amazing, but then there were these moments where she felt trapped, afraid, and alone.

"Why?" He stopped and blocked her from leaving the room. She needed to get out of the house and go home.

"We have a family movie night planned. I can't get out of it." She didn't want to tell him that the plans were with the gang. He had made it very clear that he didn't want her around Theo. She couldn't figure out why he felt threatened by him. He was her best friend, just like Shane, and he didn't have a problem with Shane.

"Is he going to be here?" Sean looked at her, he already knew the answer to his question the moment she began to speak. He cut her off.

"I'm not going to tell you again, Reggie." He spoke between his teeth as he grabbed her forearm. "You cannot hang out with him."
