Just Friends?

Chapter V

I'm sorry but I don't think it'll work between us anymore.

It's amazing how that one text message crushed me. My boyfriend, who I had been dating for two years, broke up with me. Over text.

"Sweetie, you didn't need him, you're better off without that asshole." Sage attempted to comfort me.

"I know," I sobbed "but I love him."

"Sammie, he lives on the other side of the country, it wasn't going to last much longer."

"I know, but I love Jake, I love him."

I sobbed into her shoulder.

"Shhh how about tonight we have as much fun as you can."

"W-what do you mean?"

"I'm saying, drink as much as you want and kiss whoever you want."

"Okay."

"Make tonight memorable."

Little did I know, tonight was going to be something I would want to forget as much as possible.

.................

"Are you sure it's supposed to fit me like this?" I questioned, "it's really, um... Short and well, tight"

"Yes! Wow Sammie," Sage said, "you need to wear little black dresses more often!"

"I'm not sure about this..."

"Well you should be! You look HOT."

"Okay," I looked into the mirror one more time as Sage was curling my hair.

Sage put the curler down and grabbed my hand. She pulled me out into the hall of the Kappa Alpha Theta house.

"Okay now I'm going to stand at the end of the hall and I want you to try these on," she handed me black, glittery stilettos, "and walk to me."

I took the shoes from her and laughed.

"I can't walk in heels, I've never tried to walk in them before," I whined.

"Just try!"

"Okay.."

My first couple steps are wobbly but I get the hang of it and quickly reach the end of the hall like I had been walking in heels my entire life.

"I told you that you could do it!"

"Yeah yeah okay."

"See all the stuff you can do without he who will not be named??"

"His name is Ja—"

Before I could finish, Sage cut me off, saying, "NOPE! That name will not be spoken in this household!"

"Bu—"

"No buts! It's final!!"

I laughed and she tried to keep a straight face but started giggling as well. We walked back to our room, grabbed our phones and hustled downstairs to grab Sage's car keys and the garage door opener that clipped into the car. The door to the garage easily slid open and let us in, we walked four cars over and stepped into the black Porsche 9/11.

..................

The party had already started by the time we got to Kevin's frat house. Music was blasting making the windows shake and left me wondering why there weren't noise complaints. The air around the house smelled like weed which made me want to gag. There were cars parked in the driveway and the front lawn, red solo cups had already begun to liter the once green lawn.

Sage reached into the back and grabbed the three bottles of grey goose vodka we had brought at the request of Kevin. I grabbed one and Sage looked at me.

"What? You said to make the night memorable and to drink as much as I wanted," I said.

She laughed, "just be careful."

"Yeah yeah okay"

We walked up to the front door. Sage attempted to knock but I reminded her that they probably wouldn't be able to hear us so we just walked in. Sage and I walked into the living room and immediately was spotted by Kevin who had a beer in his hand.

"Hey babe," his words slurred together as he walked over and gave Sage a kiss on the forehead.

Sage laughed and handed him the bottles of vodka. He yelled someone's name and a boy ran over to grab the bottles from Sage.

Sage took my hand and we walked down to the basement where it was much quieter. There were four couches arranged into what almost formed a square with a coffee table in the middle. The couches on the ends were filled with a couple of our friends from other frat houses and sororities. Sage and I took a seat on one of the empty couches to join the intense truth or dare game that was going on and by the looks of it, we were right on time, it was Sage's turn now.

"Sage, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"Okay, I dare you to drink 10 fireballs."

"Okay!" Sage replied excitedly, they were her favorite drink. She said she 'liked the burn.'

Everyone watched her down 10 drinks then moved on to the next person.

................

2 beers, 13 shots of vodka, and 1 sex on the beach later..

Crap. I hadn't seen him until now. I thought I could've avoided him. Thank god it wasn't his turn.

"Ryan, truth or dare?"

"Isn't it obvious? Dare."

"I dare you to take..."

Chris looked around. Then his eyes stopped on me. Oh no.

"I dare you to take Sam into the back bedroom and don't come back until you've done something worth talking about." Chris winked at Ryan then looked to me. Ryan got up and laughed then took my hand, I was too drunk to pull away.

.................

"Come on babe" he whispered against my neck.

"No, get off of me! I don't want to do this with you! Get off!"

"Why not?" His arms reached to the bottom of my dress, he tried reaching up it.

"Get off of me!" I yelled.

"Oh come on, it'll be fun, I promise."

"No sto—" and then his hand went over my mouth. He pushed me against the wall and started to pull the straps of my dress off. I banged my arms against the wall but I don't think Anyone heard me.

"I'll be gentle," my dress started to rip, "don't want to break you."

The door opened. Ryan turned and told the guy to leave, taking his hand off of my mouth.

"NO DON'T GO!" I yelled.

"Shut up, bitch!" Ryan told me, his breath smelled of beer.

"I think she doesn't want to have sex with you man," the guy who opened the door said.

"I'll be the judge of what she wants and doesn't want," Ryan yelled.

"If she said no, it means no. Hop off of the girl."

"And if I don't?" Ryan was testing the guy.

"If you don't I'm going to have to make you." The boy stepped closer.

"I would like to see you try," and with that the boy pulled Ryan off of me and punched him in the face.
