I went back to my dorm and went in the door. Aleah was inside waiting for me.
“im sorry,” she said. “I didn’t mean to upset you”
“don’t be sorry. You could be right I guess” I said
“who gave you the flower?” she asked.
“oh, Jake did” I said throwing it on the bed. “I went to talk to him about that night”
“what did he say?” she asked
“he doesn’t remember anything” I told her.
“Bullshit” she shouted.
“And he got mad again that im seeing Dace” I said “ I don’t get why Jake is like that.” I heard a knock on the door .It was a man carrying a bouquet of daisies. He handed me them and walked away.
“Who are they from?” aleah asked. I shook my head “there’s a card” she said pointing at the flowers. I opened the card and I could have sworn my jaw dropped to the ground “what? What does it say?”
“Your friend is right about the boy with blue eyes. But we both know it wasn’t really a hook up.” I read the card to her
“Whoa, does it say who they are from?” she asked.
“No, but I have a pretty good idea” I said looking at the single daisy Jake gave me on the roof top that I had sitting on my bed.
“so wait, Jake sent you these? So he is saying that Dace was the one who raped?” she said.
“I guess.” I sighed.
“this is like a bad episode of pretty little liars” she said trying to make a joke. I glared at her. “not the time?” she asked. I rolled my eyes. “yeah, not the time.” I walked over to my bed and sat down. “what are you going to do?” she asked.
“nothing” I told her
“you aren’t even going to ask Dace?” she said
“ask him what? If he raped me four fucking years ago!?” I shouted at her “things are good with him. I’m not going to mess it up.”
“you can’t let him get away with this.” She said.
“he already did!” I yelled “we don’t even know for a fact he did it!”
“youre right. But wouldn’t you rather know than unknowingly sleep with your rapist again?” she snapped back at me.
“isn’t that my fucking choice to make?!?” I yelled at her.
“wow. You know what? I hope it is him and I hope when you two fuck you feel once again how horrible he made you feel.” She said and stomped out of the door.
