Locked in a lifelong rivalry, Lena and Theo go way back - but do they really know each other?
When Theo goes to college, leaving Elena, his best friend's annoying sister he grew up with, behind at his home town, he thinks that she will never be in...

It's been a few days since I slept over at Theo's. I can't stop thinking about it.
I also can't having the exact same dream over and over again.
I'm back into that club's bathroom. I'm sitting on the sink. No one is around to save me.
"Stop that." I cry out.
He doesn't stop. He keeps going. He is kissing me everywhere. On my neck. On my mouth. On my shoulder.
Then he puts a hand on my breast.
That's it, I'm gonna get raped. I'm going to be taken advantage of.
"Aidan, stop. I don't want to do this."
"Elena, will you just shut up? Stop being a baby? Calm your tits."
He isn't listening. He's going to do it.
This is all my fault. This is all my fault. This is all my fault.
I should've seen the red flags. I shouldn't have ever kissed him. I shouldn't have provoked him. I should've stopped him when he was bringing me here.
I can't stop thinking. I can't breathe. I can't even bring myself to stand up.
Get out of here, Elena. Get up. Don't be a baby. Don't cry. Push him. Just push him. Why are you doing nothing? You're weak. You're so weak.
He's putting a hand between my legs. About to push my panties aside.
And then I wake up. This is always where it stops.
It stops in the moment Theo gets into that bathroom.
He's seen me so vulnerable. He has seen my weak side and I hate it.
He was never meant to see it. He was also never meant to hear me scream that night in his apartment. I was reckless. I shouldn't have stayed there. He has nothing to do with the matter.
Still, he helped me. He stayed by my side. He didn't leave me.
He's not the asshole I painted him out to be and definitely not as bad as I thought. I can't hate him. It's so hard to hate him. It's hard because there is nothing to hate anymore.
He doesn't even act like he hates me either.
He looks like he has never even hated me, I think to myself. But that's just delusion. He has hated me forever, it's why he was how he was. Which other reason did he have to act the way he did?
I just need to get my shit together and forget all about him because I can't always rely on Theodore Sage to come and save me every time I'm in trouble.
