Chapter Four : Guess The Rapist

"Katy?" I said as I sat down beside her on the floor. Rory was fanning her with his hand and Jack had left to get her a glass of water. Sebastian was standing over her, wide-eyed. He looked petrified, like he had no idea what to do. He had sent the other party-goers home, receiving a wink, a blown kiss and a phone number from the blonde girl. Little did she know I had just slept with him. She also didn't know he was gay, but I would prefer for her to find out that I slept with him.

"How much did she have to drink?" I asked Rory, afraid to look him in the eye.                                                  He shrugged. "Two? Three bottles? I don't know, she drank them pretty fast."

I sighed. She shouldn't have drank that much. "Katy? Can you hear me?" Her eyes slowly opened, but they looked dazed and confused. I put my hand on her back to help her sit up straight.                                "What?" she said, her blue eyes scanning the room. "What happened? Where am I?"                                     "You're in my living room," Sebastian said.                                                                                                                          "Yeah," Rory joined in. "You were sitting talking to me, drinking your third bottle of beer, when your eyes rolled backwards in your head and you suddenly toppled off of the couch."                                             Jack returned with a glass of water. "Here. Have a glass of water." She gratefully took it and took small sips before shakily standing up. She almost lost her balance and toppled back down but all three of us jumped forwards to catch her. "I'm okay!" she yelled. "I'm alright. I can do it myself." She walked slowly towards the couch and sat down. Rory and I sat on either side of her and Sebastian slumped down on the armchair, Jack sitting on the arm of it. Sebastian looked at me and then looked away, trying to keep his distance from Jack while sitting next to him.

"I think you should stay here tonight," Sebastian suggested. "I mean, I can't send you home in that state."                                                                                                                                                                                                    I nodded. "I should stay with her. I mean, if that's okay with you?" Sebastian didn't look at me but he nodded.                                                                                                                                                                                                "Well, I'm staying here anyway," Jack said. I smirked at Sebastian but he just looked away. "Rory could stay too if he likes, right?" Sebastian smiled and then nodded.

I helped Katy up the stairs towards Sebastian's bedroom. Rory was planning on sleeping on the small sofa. Sebastian gave me and Katy his bed and said that him and Jack would sleep on the blow up mattress on the floor. As  I got into bed, I turned to Katy who was lying next to me, her eyes shut and her breathing steady. I sighed. She didn't look well at all.

When I awoke in the morning, both Sebastian and Rory were missing. Katy was fast asleep and Jack was lying on the blow up bed scrolling through his phone. I sat up and Jack turned to face me. "Good morning," he said and I smiled at him. "How is she?" he asked me, and I shrugged.                                         "She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. I'm really worried about her."                                             Jack nodded. "Why don't I get the bus home with the both of you?"                                                                        I nodded. "Yes, please,"
