Happier

Chapter 2

EXTREME TRIGGER WARNING IN THIS CHAPTER READ WITH CAUTION!

[Rhea's POV]

We get to Josh's frat house. It's one of the biggest frats near the campus. the front lawn is crowded with drunk teenagers swaying their bodies on top of each other.

"What the hell, it's only 9:30 and most of them look drunk out of their minds." Carter snickers at the girls stumbling down the driveway in what looks like 10 inch platform heels.

"And in those shoes too." I join in joking about the drunk minors struggling to walk.

Me and Carter get out of his car and we walk up and into the house. It smells like pure vodka in here. I feel like i could get wasted by the air in here alone. No consuming needed.

We walk to Carter's group of friends. I really do like them, they've always been kind to me. However they aren't the type of people i would intentionally hang around. They are just your average college guys who sleep around and get high on week days and drunk on weekends. They use a new girl every weekend and then move on to the next. I personally find it disgusting but hey, as long as the girls are giving consent the guys aren't doing anything wrong.

"Aye man what's good?" Josh asks Carter while they do their weird bro hug.

"It's good man how's the party holding up?"

"Everyones shit faced yo it's sick."

I see Tristan wink at Cameron and a few of Carter's other friends I don't talk to much. He hands me and Carter a drink. I thank him and listen back into Carter's and Josh's conversation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've finished my drink which I am pretty sure was pink whitney but I'm not 100%, it tasted a little salty but I needed as much alcohol as I could consume to get me through the night.

I sit at the island in the kitchen and wait for Carter to come back from where ever he wondered off to.

I start to feel like I got hit by a bus. My eyes feel heavy, heavy enough that i can't keep them open. I start to hear ringing in my ears, my stomach is turning. Things slowly seem to fade away, that is until I hear Carter's friends voices approach me. They are all laughing when they spot me in the kitchen.

"Oh shit, Rhea let's uh get you upstairs aye?" Cameron says while trying to hold in his giggles.

I can't move, think, speak. Nothing. I don't even know if I'm still alive but somehow I know everything that's going on around me.

Josh shakes my shoulder when I don't give any sort of reply to Cam.

"Jeez that didn't take long." Josh says and removes his hand from my shoulder.

"What are you going on about?" Cameron asks.

"She's basically out already her eye's are dilated as if they'll explode. Nows are chance to get her up to the room before anyone notices she's gone." I hear Josh whisper to Tristan and Cameron.

I don't know who but i feel someone pick me up bridal style off the island chair. We are now going up stairs. Stairs... oh god the stairs only lead to the bedrooms. Only people who go up there are hiding away from the crowd to suck each others faces off. No one is gonna find me up here.

"Carter's not going to be able to find me." I try to say, but nothing comes out.

We get upstairs and I'm placed on a bed.

I hear the click of a door and once again the whispering starts.

"You pressed start?" Tristan asks Cameron.

"If the red button means recording then ya."

"Ok good, Carter's gonna need to see this!" Josh chuckles as two people walk over to me.

"Grab her arms Josh." Tristan says as I feel Josh get on the bed and kneels just above my head. He grabs my lifeless arms and grips my wrists over my head.

I feel my heels being thrown off and I hear them crash against the wooden floor. I use every ounce of strength I have left to open my eyes. My eyes are first met with Josh. He has a malicious smirk across his face. I've never seen that look on Josh before, I would remember because it sends chills throughout my body. The look on Josh's face along with the chills sent through my spine are permanently engraved in my mind.

"Yo Cam come over to this side of the bed you gotta get her whole body in frame."

I hear Cam move to the side of the bed. A cold hand runs up my thigh and my muscles tense. It's not Carter's hands on me, and that makes me panic. My brain is running a mile an hour but my body is incoherent and unresponsive. Everything clicks like my brain is completing a puzzle.

I was given a drink while the boys chuckle to each other. I drank it, quick, and Carter disappears for an hour. My eyes are heavy, my body is limp and I am paralyzed. Shit! The drink was salty! I read about the signs of being drugged for this exact reason. When your drink has been laced with a drug it will taste salty 9 times out of 10. I knew this and yet a chugged the thing in less than a minute. All because I needed to forget about mine and Carter's fight earlier.

"Come on Rhea you are so much smarter than this, and now you'll be facing the consequences." I mentally scold myself.

I feel hot tears run down my cheek has my dress is being pushed above my head. I am now left in my under garments, exposed and at my most vulnerable state.

I try to scream but my mouth just won't cooperate. "Carter, Carter help me please." I only hear my voice come out in a whisper. I am so frustrated, I feel so helpless that I'm not in control of my own body. Only person who can help me now is Carter... but he can't hear me.

"Oh Rhea, your so naive. Carter isn't coming. Even if he heard you scream and cry, he wouldn't do shit. So help yourself out and don't strain your voice love." Tristan says in such a cold tone.

"Come on Tristan just get this over with before i run out of battery."

Shit! I totally forgot for a second that this was being filmed. This, my worst nightmare, my body is being used as some sick, illegal joke, and Carter isn't coming to help me yet I am being filmed. Who knows where this video will end up, how many people will view it.

"Ight man." Tristan's hands run farther up my legs and I try to use every bone and muscle in my body to move, but like i assumed, my body is frozen.

"Stop. Please" I say so quietly I don't even know if it was loud enough for anyone to hear.

I hear the door knob attempt to twist but it's locked.

Josh covers my mouth before Cameron speaks.

"Who is it?"

"Carter, now let me in!"

"Alright." Cameron says and unlocks the door.

Carter walks in and asks in a calm voice. "What the hell are you doing to Rhea?"

Wow so he walks in on me barely naked, pinned to the bed with Josh's one hand holding my wrists and other covering my mouth, tears running down my face and Tristan standing in between my thighs and doesn't even sound phased. I love how this doesn't bother him at all but me texting Kade was enough for him to smash half our belongings while screaming in my face.

"Keeping the bitch occupied, is that not what you wanted?" Tristan asks Carter.

Carter stays silent. Come on Carter nows your chance to yell and scream and smash shit. Nows the perfect chance to use your psychotic emotions but you stay as calm as a cucumber.

"That's what I thought." Tristan says and slides my underwear down my thighs. Carter is still silent as I am being undressed by his friends.

I feel a sharp pain and just like that, everything goes black. Black and silent. No more voices, no more hands, no more tears. Everything's just... blank. I'm out cold.
