'Princess'

Rafe and I arrived to the party after an uncomfortably silent car ride.

"I'm going to talk to Kelce. Go find Sarah to hang out with and try not to embarrass me," Rafe practically spat the words out, making me flinch slightly.

"Okay," I said as I tried not to let him see how much he terrified me. I turned to leave and before I could Rafe's hand shot out and snatched my wrist, turning me around abruptly. We shared a look of agreement, to keep up the perfect couple act. Then he leaned down toward me and kissed me gently. It was a kiss that somehow said "if you mess up, you'll be in trouble when we get home", and I immediately shuddered as Rafe pulled away, eyes still closed.

"Go have fun baby," he said in a sweet tone.

"You too babe," I responded with a big fake smile, before turning around to go look for Sarah.

~~~~~~

It took me about five minutes to find Sarah, who was climbing a washed up buoy and scaring her clingy boyfriend Topper half to death.

"BLAIR!!!!" she squealed as she caught sight of me.

"SARAH!!!" I said back in the same tone.

She jumped down from the buoy and started walking towards me while saying, "have I mentioned lately how much I love it when you match my energy? See this is why we're best friends. S and B for the win!"

I chuckled at the girl as her boyfriend caught up to us and attempted to butt into our conversation. "Hey Blair-," was all he could get out before Sarah interrupted him.

"Oh my god! You're wearing it!!!" Sarah squealed, looking at my necklace as she held up her own.

"I never go anywhere without my 'B' necklace, Sarah!" I responded. Sarah and I had gotten matching 'S' and 'B' necklaces on a shopping trip when we were 13. We never really took them off, so it wasn't actually much of a surprise for the girl, but when Sarah got drunk she was always really happy and lovey dovey.

"Well yeah but it's extra special now because we're wearing them together!"

"They're always extra special," I said as I smiled at my best friend. Sarah and I had been friends since forever, and she was the only one who I trusted with the secret of Rafe and I's relationship.

"Well I think that the necklace is extra special because you're wearing it, babe," Topper sweetly told Sarah, earning a kiss as a thank you.

"Hmm well aren't you being sweet tonight," Sarah cooed at Topper.

~~~~~~

Sarah, Topper, and I all talked for about an hour more before their flirting got to me and I had to leave. I went off to look for Rafe to ask him when we would be leaving, this shirt was uncomfortable.

I had been searching for Rafe for about 5 minutes when I heard someone call my name.

"Blair Mikaelson! The Princess herself! Would you like a nice beer madame?"

I groaned at the sound of the blonde pogue's voice. Rafe hated JJ. If Rafe saw me talking to JJ, I would be in trouble when we got home.

"Uh, no thank you," I stammered out, looking around anxiously to try to find Rafe.

"Aww why not? Your boyfriend gonna get mad at you?"

Yes. Yes he will if you don't shut the fuck up you idiot.

Just as I was about to respond, Topper and Sarah came to my rescue.

"Sorry dude, I don't think she wants any," Topper replied.

"Damn. What about you Sarah? Can I interest you in a tasty Milwaukee Beverage?" JJ teased.

"No, I'm good," Sarah quickly responded.

"What's wrong? Not fancy enough for you?", JJ spat.

"You know what I- I'll take it man, thank you," Topper said.

"No no, see I didn't offer it to you, you can't have it," JJ snapped. "Maybe if you said pretty please then, but you didn't- so Sarah?"

Just then Topper smacked the solo cup out of JJ's hand, spilling it all over his shirt. This caused people to start to gather around as everyone could sense a fight brewing. I looked up as I felt Rafe's hand wrap around my arm, shielding me from the pogue.

As soon as I felt Rafe's death grip on my arm I started to get lost in my head.

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Rafe saw me talking to JJ. I'm gonna be dead. He's gonna kill me. Fuck, why couldn't JJ just keep his idiot mouth closed?

I was brought back to reality as Topper yelled, "Don't make me drown you like your old man!", while holding someone's head underwater.

I acted off of instinct and ran forward, shoving Topper off of the person being drowned. Sarah got Topper to calm down while I tried to pick the person out of the water.

Seconds later, Topper was in front of me again holding the person's head under water before another person shoved through.

JJ stood over Topper, holding a gun to his head before cocking it.

"Yeah, you know what that is," JJ stated, "your move, broski."

I quickly backed away, panicking. The screams around me started fading out as I walked away from the unconscious boy in the water.

The sound of two gunshots brought me back to reality as my head snapped up to see JJ holding a gun in the air. I didn't even have a second to speak before I felt Rafe dragging me away.

"You dumb bitch, what the fuck was that? Oh you're gonna get it when we get home," Rafe spoke quietly, so that only I could hear him.

~~~~~~

I stepped out of the car and started walking inside when Rafe slammed my head against the car door.

"You bitch!" he spat out at me. "What the hell is your problem!" he screamed at me as he dragged me inside by my arm.

"Why were you near that pogue?" Rafe questioned as he slammed me against the car door with his hands digging into my shoulders.

"I-I-," was all I managed to squeak out as I felt myself panicking.

"SPEAK UP GODDAMMIT!" Rafe screamed at me as his fist collided with my cheekbone.

"I didn't do anything wrong," I whispered through sobs.

This only pissed Rafe off even more. He landed several blows to my face and my torso as he screamed incoherent curse words at me.

I slowly started to lose consciousness as Rafe continued to beat me mercilessly.

"Please stop, I can't take anymore," I begged him.

"Then fucking learn how to take more you goddamn whore!" Rafe screamed at me while kicking my slumped body in the ribcage.

As Rafe landed blow after blow upon my shaking body, the world slowly started fading away from me. I knew that tomorrow would be a day for heavy concealer.
