Words Are As Dangerous As Punches

Chapter 7 - Regrets

Elliot

The next morning Elliot woke up to the sound of his phone blowing up with notifications. He had a headache from drinking so much and staying longer. He remembered what happened with Oliver and it made him smile when he thought about it. He knew they could never be together, but it was nice to spend the night with him. He finally sat up and picked up his phone looking at it. He had hundreds of notifications, tags and comments on Instagram. He clicked the very first one that he received to open it. He froze when he saw what was in front of him.

The video he had been tagged on hundreds of times as well as Oliver was a video of the two of them making out at the party. It was from an anonymous account, of course it was. He was really mad about what had happened and ignored it blocking the account. He turned off his phone and rolled onto his side falling asleep again. He slept until late afternoon.

Oliver

Oliver woke up the next morning to the same number of notifications. He was scared and messaged Elliot immediately.

Oliver: I'm so sorry, I didn't see anyone around us. I hope you're okay.

Oliver was worried when he didn't get a reply. He guessed that Elliot was dealing with a lot so didn't sweat it too much. He just got on with his day avoiding a beating on more than one occasion. He went to work which wasn't too bad before just going home and laying on his bed listening to music. He checked his phone to see of Elliot had messaged him he hadn't. He was about to turn off his phone when he noticed a story post from Elliot. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, what Elliot had written for pretty much the whole school to see. It read:

'Hello everyone, I'm sure everyone has see a video of me and Oliver James making out at the party last night. I was very drunk as you can probably see. Oliver took advantage of that and although it was all consensual I was not on my right mind. Please take the post down if you posted it and know that I did not want this I was very drunk and Oliver obviously got the wrong idea.'

By the time he had finished reading Oliver was shaking with rage. He had just been accused of taking advantage of someone when he hadn't. They had both been sober enough to have a small conversation afterwards and everything. He couldn't believe what Elliot had done. He decided to try and text him again.

Oliver: Why did you say that on Instagram?

Elliot quickly replied.

Elliot: Because it's true maybe you're confused about something, please don't message me again.

Oliver started messaging back before seeing had been blocked by Elliot. He didn't know wheather to scream in rage or cry. He was just so mad he couldn't believe what have happened. Why would Elliot write something like that then ignore him. He put his phone down and just started crying curling up in a ball. He was dreading school the next day. Everyone thought he was some sort of desperate whore. He eventually passed out from being exhausted. He was slept through the night having nightmares about what might happen when he reached school the next day.
