❌TW: Attempted sexual assault in Angie's POV, talk of suicide and meds + puking in Orion's POV❌

Angie's POV:
----

I had only turned my back for a second, and Camden was gone. I tried not to panic as I looked around for her, maneuvering my way through the crowd. She wouldn't have just wandered off alone, which made me feel even more worried.

I was about to ask someone if they had seen her until hearing my name being called.

"Angie!"

I stiffened up when hearing the sound of Camden's scared voice from upstairs. I knew something was wrong. I pushed my way through other students and drunks to get to the stairs, not caring about anything else besides my girlfriend's safety. "Cammie? Where are you sugar?"

I didn't get an answer, reaching the second floor and finding out why I didn't. My eyes widened and my fists immediately clenched when I saw this stranger's hand being slapped over Camden's mouth. His head snapped up when seeing me, taken by surprise.

"Oh I think the fuck not..." I mumbled as I glared and rushed over. I don't remember what exactly was running through my head, just that I had to get him off of Camden. I'm usually a very logical person, I don't let myself get angry and I don't let myself lash out. Which is why I was just as surprised when I raised my hand and slapped it roughly and repeatedly across this man's face.

"Get the fuck off of her!" I screamed, hardly registering what I was doing until hearing the sound of his yelling. My vision was blurry as I shoved him against the wall, heart pounding in my chest. My hands continued to move and I could feel my nails digging into this man's skin until there was a small hand around my arm, pulling me away from him.

"A-Angie..." Camden cried and wrapped her arms around he, head buried in my chest. "I-I wanna go home. Can we p-please go home now?"

My arms shook slightly as I calmed down and wrapped them around her. I faced the man who had been trying to hurt her, watching as he held a hand to his head and groaned. He slumped against the wall and I quickly nodded.

"We can, babygirl. We can..." My voice cracked and my throat felt dry. I couldn't remember how loud I had been yelling at that man.

Camden sniffled and kept close, tucked under my arm as we went back downstairs. She was quiet for a moment before looking up at me with tear filled eyes. "Th-Thank you, Angie. Thank you..."

Orion's POV:

Everything hurts. Why does everything hurt?

I couldn't remember a thing that happened. I don't even know where I was right now. So I opened my eyes, met by the dark of my dorm room. The space beside me was empty, and I didn't like that. I liked it better when Jorgeous was right there.

"Ry-Ry?" As if on cue, I heard her voice from beside me. I looked to the side to see her in the dull light seeping in from the covered window. I raised my head to try to move closer to her, immediately regretting it. I hissed, the pain in my head immediately worsening.

"No, no, don't get up." I heard her say softly. She got up from my desk chair and hurried over, and I slowly laid back down when feeling her hand on my cheek. "You had a lot to drink last night, sweetie. You're hungover."

Last night. Fuck. I closed my eyes again as blurry memories started rushing back. I remembered what had triggered my anger, I remembered my yelling, and most of all I remembered seeing Jorgeous's scared expression.

I bit my lip as I teared up, laying my shaky hand on hers. "J-Jorgeous, I- I'm so-"

She held a finger up to my lips and kissed my forehead, and I'd be lying if I said that didn't help me calm down some. "It's okay, angel. I was just surprised. That mean boy deserved it."
