Nyxon's POV
I woke up and saw Colette's back facing me. I sat up a bit to check on her. I moved hair out of her face. Her eyes were closed.I should let her sleep.
Damn.
Did I do that to her neck?
There's what?
6 hickeys?
I guess, I got carried away.I kissed the side of her head. I got up and went outside with Winter.
I should do something for Cole.
If I make her breakfast...
It might be gross if she sleeps for a while.
"NO!"
I started running up to our room. Colette was sitting up hyperventilating. I ran up to her.
"What's wrong?! What happened?!"
She started shaking. I sat down in front of her. I cupped her face.
"Baby breathe. What happened?"
"I-I can't tell you."
"What can't you tell me? Did somebody hurt you?"
"I-I can't tell you. Y-y-you'll hate me."
"Baby what happened?"
She shook her head.
"Cole look at me. What happened?"
"H-he said n-nobody...will believe me."
"Coley tell me."
"M-my cousin put me i-in the high school by her."
"Alright. What happened?"
"You're gonna hate me."
"Baby if something happened to you, I won't hate you."
"I-I wanted to-to be different. I-I made a mistake. I-I went to party."
"Why would I hate you for that?"
"I-I made a mistake a-at the party. I-I took my eyes off my drink."
I don't like where this is going.
"I-I started feeling sick shortly after. I-I found that strange because, I was drinking soda. I-I wasn't drunk."
"Baby what are you trying to tell me?"
"I-I got roofied. I-I was brought to a room. Nyxon, I-I got raped. H-he got arrested. H-he was a sex offender. I-I fucked up!"
"No no. You didn't. You didn't ask for it. You didn't consent to it. You were drugged. Someone took advantage of you. Why didn't you tell me this, before we did anything?"
"I-I was scared. I didn't want to lose you. I-I just got you back. I just came back. I-I don't want to lose you!"
She covered her face with her hands. She collapsed into my arms. I started rubbing her back. She started bawling.
"Shhh. You're okay. Did you tell anyone else?"
"I-I told my cousin and the cops. I-I had to g-go to court."
She started shaking.
"Were you the only one there?"
"T-there were a few ot-others. T-two boys a-and a girl. The same exact thing happened to them."
"I love you."
She sniffled.
"Y-you do?"
"Yes. I love you so goddamn much."
She looked up at me. I wiped away tears.
"My family can't know."
"Huh?"
"T-they'll think I'm a whore."
"Baby...I doubt that."
"They can't know."
"Even your brother and sister?"
"Especially them. Promise me, you won't tell anyone."
"Baby I-I don't think...that's a smart idea."
"Y-you think..I'm lying, don't you?"
My heart dropped.
"Jesus Christ! No! I-I believe you 1,000%! I see how scared you are! It's written all over your face! You never get this scared!"
"Y-you know...I'm not lying?"
"Yes! Of course I do!"
I moved her hair out of her face.
"Baby listen to me. If you don't want me to tell anyone, I won't. You should tell them though."
"I'm scared to."
"That's okay. I'm just making a suggestion. If you're uncomfortable telling people, I'll respect that. Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me."
