Halley's pov
I say goodbye to the boys and walk in the door to see Steve. He asks "oh thank god" and hugs me. He asks "are you okay? How many fingers am I holding up?" "Steve I don't have a concussion" I tell him and he rolls his eyes dramatic as ever "just tell me!" I reply "3" he asks "the hell happened? Who did this to you?"

I sigh walking upstairs telling him "I don't know" "what? Who were you with after I left you?" He asks and I repeat "I don't know" "you have to know something Halley. I want to know!" He replies and I huff "I don't remember okay?! It's an effect of being roofied! I don't remember much if anything at all"

He sighs "mom and dad are on the phone" I huff "I'm surprised they care" walking to the phone "hello?" My mother speaks "you were drugged at a party?! What were you thinking!" I sigh "you're acting like I asked to be drugged mom" "and where was Steve during this?!" She asks and I say "I don't know? I was drugged" "no car privileges! Steve already knows!" My father says. I ask "are you really punishing me because someone drugged me and I could've been raped!" My father speaks "you shouldn't have been there anyway!" "But it's okay that Steve was? How is that fair?" I ask. "It's not lady like to party and end up drugged" he replies. I huff "got it. Bye" and I hang up as he protests and rush upstairs to my room. Steve says "Halley? Hales!" As I lock the door and wonder what I did to deserve my parents not to care about me.

They never really have. Steve's the golden child. They come home see Steve and are gone before I can even see them most of the time. "Go away Steve" I mutter. Getting dressed for bed "what did they say?" He asks and I chuckle "they blame me. Because it's not lady like to party and get drugged. Oh and no car privileges not that I have them anyway" "I'm sure they didn't mean it" he says and I reply "they did. Just go to bed Steve I'm fine" brushing my teeth and he says "let me in." "Go away Steve" I sigh and he sighs "I'm trying to be there for you let me in hales." Why so he can wake up tomorrow and leave me again? I shake my head "I'm fine steve" the phone in my room rings and I pick it up "hello?" "How dare you hang up on me when I'm talking to you?!" my father snaps and I reply "all you're going to do is blame me for what happened. I was drugged and I could've been murdered and or raped if it weren't for my friends. And you don't even care! You're punishing me like I asked for it!" "You shouldn't have been at the party anyway. What were you wearing did you tease someone?" "What I wore doesn't matter! And I don't even remember who I talked to because I was drugged and unconscious!" I huff and he says "lower your tone girl!" And my mother takes the phone "since when do you have friends?" "Since now" I reply and she says "no more of that you need to focus on college you hear?" "I don't want to go to university" I reply. And I don't. I want to stay home. Hoppers already lined up an office job at the station for me. I help with filing and cases already. "What do you plan to do?" She snaps and I wonder when she started to care. My father says "that doesn't matter. What matters is that you're not to go to any parties and your brother is to make sure of it." "I wasn't planning on going to another party anyway-" I'm cut off "no back talking! You're only to touch the passenger seat of that car!" I barely even touch that anymore. "You're to go to school and home" he continues. And how is that going to be enforced? He's halfway across the globe. "And your brother will let us know" he continues. I ask "because I was taken advantage of? You're punishing me?" "You shouldn't have been there" he repeats and I hang up and disconnect my phone from the wall and turn off my pager and go to sleep. Steve says "I don't think you deserve to be punished because you wanted to have fun. I'll lie about your coming and goings to him" I nod "thanks" "still not gonna let me in?" He asks and I reply "I want to be alone" he nods "I'm here if you need me" and leaves.
