As I stand waiting for Cole to finish saying his goodbyes, I hear a group of guys laughing obnoxiously. I turned around to see three guys staring at me. They're probably drunk, whatever. I tried to listen in on their conversation as best I could.
"No, she's probably waiting to leave!" one guy said, as if he wanted to back out of something.
"Come do it, you wimp!" Another guy pressured. "If you don't do it I'll leak those photos of you and your girl!" he blackmailed.
"Do what you want, dude." The last guy said, innocently.
"Blake, if we're truly friends, you'd let me leave that pour girl alone and let this go. Without leaking those photos." one guy begged
"Try me." the other guy smirked.
"Who are you?!" the one guy said, taken aback.
I tuned out of their conversation, figuring they would drop whatever they were talking about. I spotted and made eye contact with Cole, signalling him that I was ready to leave this party. A few moment later I feel someone wrap their arms around me and grab my boobs, I turned around and punched whoever this was. I saw it was the boy that was being blackmailed. The two other boys were in the corner, laughing their asses off. I straightened my back, walked over to them and slapped them both in the face. I see Cole run to the boy who grabbed me and threw him another few punches. He said a few words that I couldn't make out because I was so concentrated on how dirty and violated I felt. I wanted to cry.
I ran over to Cole and fell into his arms. Now I'm safe. As he held me, tears were bright in my eyes. I need to go home.
"Take me home, please." I said, as he rubbed my back to comfort me.
"Okay, baby girl," he cooed soothingly. Didn't help to be honest.
The whole car ride home I didn't answer any of Coles questions. All I could think about was how much I needed to shower.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked sympathetically.
I shook my head and that was my only response. Besides the radio humming softly threw the speakers, the silence stretched threw the car.
~**~
When I walked threw the door I kicked off my shoes and ran up the stairs. I heard Cole coming in, slamming the door behind him.
"Babe, tell me what you're feeling. Please." he asked softly as he was coming up the stairs.
I grabbed my soft pink towels I only use on pampering nights. I thought I deserved it, considering my mental and physical disgust.
"After my shower." I said without making eye contact.
"Whatever you need. I'm not leaving until I know you feel safe."
I shut the door, and turned on the water. While I waited for the water to heat up, I examined my body in the dress. Wondering if what I was wearing encouraged the boys to think I wanted this to happened. I then realized I couldn't reach the zipper on my dress. I opened the door slightly to see where Cole was.
"COLE." I yelled.
"Ya?!" he responded.
"I need help!" I whined
"With what?"
"I need you to unzip my dress." I can picture the smirk on his face as he mutters the word 'gladly' under his breath. He soon appears around the corner. I turn around, moving my hair to the side. Revealing the zipper. he unzipped it as I shivered at the thought of someone else's hand on my body.
"There you go." he whispered.
"Thank you." I smiled. "See you in 34 minutes." I promised.
The water had been warm for a awhile but I wanted to hot. So I turned up the heat. Steam filled the bathroom. Signalling the perfect temperature. I stepped in and the water soaked my hair and warmed me up to the inside.
Paradise.

38 minutes later I was in a more relaxed mental state. I wrapped my super soft cheetah bathrobe around myself and made my way to my room. Cole was half asleep on my bed. He sat up as I came in.
"Feeling better?" he asked, he voice raspy with a hint of sleep.
I simply nodded. My eyes beginning to droop.
Walking into my closet, I put on fuzzy socks, fuzzy pyjama shorts, a PINK shorts bra and a grey long sleeve. Pulling my wet hair into a top knot as I walked out of my closet. I noticed Cole was in sweats and I navy blue V-neck.
"Did you go home and change?" I asked, confused.
"I packed an overnight bag and put it in my car. You know. Just incase." He winked.
"Well that was confident of you." I stood at the foot of my bed, my arms crossed across my chest.
"Well I don't want to leave you alone after what happened so I guess it's a good thing I was so confident."
"You're a goof."
I grabbed my phone off my night stand. Cole must've brought it in from the car. I made my way to the bathroom as Cole went downstairs. I was in the middle of brushing my teeth when he came in with his own toothbrush. After he used my toothpaste, we were brushing our teeth together. We're cute. I trudged back to my room, Cole catching up to me. I could sense him hesitate placing his hand on the small of my back. Without speech we both got into the covers of my bed. Snuggling up to each other, we both checked our social medias. My phone read 2:47am. I turned my phone off, letting all my thoughts escape my brain. My eyes drooped shut.
