I'm Not Him (Maddy Perez/You)

Results

(Song in second slide)

3 Days Later

"Okay the results came back. They both say the same thing and well maybe you should take a look for yourself." Chloe says handing me some papers.

I was scared to look at them. This is gonna tell me everything I need to know. I already figured that if Cassie did drug me that she most likely raped me as well. That's the only reason for her to do something like that. I took a deep breath before reading both papers.

POSITIVE FOR MARIJUANA

POSITIVE FOR KETAMINE

Ketamine. She drugged me with fucking ketamine. Why? What the fuck does she get from this? How does she possibly benefit from raping me?

As soon as my life starts going good, it takes a turn for the worst. Why can't I have a good day? At least just one.

"Are you okay? Wait no, that's a stupid question. Will you be okay?" Chloe asked.

"Maybe one day. But I won't be no time soon." I answer honestly.

She hugs me to comfort me and I give in. Now knowing this, what am I supposed to do?

____________

I sat in the studio that's in my house. I turned one of these rooms into an almost professional style recording studio. Music has been my therapy since this situation started. The last three days have been the hardest of my life.

Maddy and I haven't spoken since she walked out. That shit is killing me. I've texted her a few times but she won't even respond. If I'm hurting then I can only imagine how she feeling.

I wanna tell her what Cassie did. But I don't even want to talk about that my damn self. I'm a victim of rape. How do I heal from that?

My phone rang and I quickly looked at it hoping that Maddy was calling. I was met with disappointment when I seen Rue's name. Don't get me wrong I love my cousin to death but that's not who I want to call.

"Yeah?" I said answering it anyway.

"You cheated on Maddy with Cassie? Seriously?" Rue says.

"Not really. I don't even wanna think about it." I answer.

"What do you mean not really? Lexi told me everything. Apparently Cassie told Maddy the full story. She told Maddy that you initiated it. That you started feeling on her first." She replies.

And it just gets worse. First she drugged me, raped me, now she telling everyone a false story.

"Maddy believed her?" I asked.

"From what I know, yeah she did. How could you possibly do something like that?" Rue asks.

Why does no one ask to hear my side of the story? Why am I immediately the bad guy? Now Maddy has this narrative of me that ain't even true.

It's crazier that she believes that shit. After everything Cassie did to her and she's just quick to believe that bullshit. That honestly speaks volumes.

"I didn't. All I'ma say is Cassie lying to everybody. That girl is not innocent." I say.

"So what did happen?" Rue asked.

"I don't feel like talking about it right now. But her story ain't the truth. She's the devil in disguise. I gotta go." I reply and hang up.

That's so low of Maddy to even fall for that. I know she's smarter than that. Or at least I'd love to believe she's smarter than that. Even then she should know me better.
