Pearl

Party Time - River

Today is the first day of summer break. It's also the summer before my brother and his best friend, Madison go to college. And the summer I get over Madison, my brothers best friend, my hidden crush, and enemy.

My friends May and Addison decide to come over and hangout. We'll
probably go to the beach and tan.

Addison has beautiful dark brown hair with matching eyes. May has ginger hair with green eyes. Both Addison and May are very beautiful, I'm so jealous of them.

Addison and I grew up together. Our mothers were best friends. We met May when we were in 7th grade, my brother had a huge crush on her. We've all been best friends since. Addison has a brother, Jack, he has the same dark brown hair but he has grayish eyes. Rowan, my older brother, and Jack have been best friends since they were little. They met Madison in 3rd grade when he moved from Australia.

Madison has one green eye and one brown eye. I think it's adorable. He's tan with freckles and he's got the perfect amount of muscle. His brown hair is naturally flowy and wavy. He's got chin and cheek dimples on both sides of his face.

May, Addison, and I are heading to the beach when Rowan calls May. May and Rowan have been dating since I was in 9th grade. May answers the phone call while we are walking from our house on the beach.

"Hey sweetie." May says into the phone. They're cute together but I can not stand their pet names.

"Hey girls. Do yall wanna go to the party tonight? Madison is throwing the party." Addison looks at me and wiggles her eyes. I roll my eyes and turn my head towards the beach.

"Sure May. What time?" Addison asks.

May ends the phone call. "9. We can get there late though." We walk down to the beach and put our towels down to tan on.

(3 hours later)

"Ya'll ready to go? It's 7." I ask the girls.

"Yeah, we need to get ready. I think i'm burnt." Addison says putting on her over sized shirt.

"Same." May and I both say

Once we get back to the house we decide to take showers and start getting ready. I choose to leave my natural curly hair and put on jean shorts paired with a pink cropped tank top and some white converse. May puts on a black cropped top with cargo shorts and some old
nike shoes from my closet. Addison puts on a jean skirt with a black shirt that has a slit stopping at her boobs, she decides to wear black birken stocks.

We get in the car and drive to Madison's house. When we get there it's already packed. I wonder how many people will be here. We go up to the door and let our selves in.

Immediately when we open the door you could smell alcohol and sweat. I wouldn't be surprised if you could smell weed too. We walked through the hall way leading to the living room and found Jack and Rowan.

"I thought y'all weren't going to show up." My brother says as he leans down to kiss May.

"I'm going to go grab a drink," I say and they all nod. I make my way to kitchen and start pouring my self a drink with whatever alcohol I could find. After I pour myself a drink I decide to go outside and see if I can find a party game to play.

"What are you doing here Pearl?"I hear a guy slur right next to me. I recognize the nickname.

"I was invited." I look up to his 6'6 figure. Anyone compared to him looks tiny.

"Who invited you?" He grabs on to the railing of the staircase.

"Rowan. Why am I not supposed to be here?" I raise my eyebrow at him curiously.

"No. Just watch out, okay?" He moves his hand to push a piece of hair behind my ear. I blush at his action. Great progress for trying to get over him.

"Okay Wren." Madison walks away. I decide to go joins game of cup pong and play a couple rounds. My teammate and I end up loosing 3 rounds in a row so I am a little tipsy. More like wasted. You know you can't handle alcohol.

I go to the dance floor and start dancing. I lock eyes with a hot brunette. His hair is too light and straight to be Madison's - Stop. The brunette makes his way over to me and we dance together.

I turn around and dance with him as he holds my hips in place. He turns me around and starts kissing me. It seems rushed and impatient. But I need to get my mind off Madi-stop saying his name. He bends down and whispers in my ear "Let's go upstairs. I'll show you something fun." He kisses below my ear and grabs my wrist. He then pulls me up the stairs pushing through people. He finds an empty bedroom and pulls me inside.
⚠️TW⚠️ - Sexual Assault
After he closes he door and locks it he pushes me against a wall. I can't do this I can't. Do it. I can't, I can't I don't want it to happen again. Just do it.

He kisses down my neck lightly. I squeeze my eyes shut. Then he pulls my shirt off.

"I can't do this. I'm sorry." I pick up my shirt. And try to go out the door.

"Come on. Don't be lame. Just let me make you feel good." He pushes my back against the wall and puts his hands on my waist.

"Please, I don't wanna do this." My hands start shaking by my side.

He doesn't answer he just licks his lips and kisses me. I try to shove him off but he's too strong. He backs me up to the bed and pushes me down.

"Please don't." I try to push my self
up but he holds me down. I start to cry. He was unbuttoning my jean shorts when the door busts open.

Thank you God.

And before you say "She was grinding on him. She asked for it." She didn't ask for it. She was dancing and she was drunk. She didn't have the intention to have sex with him and even if she did he was way to forceful.
