Carly
I woke early unaware that I had fallen asleep. Was the film that shit? I struggled to move, then I realized that I had an arm and leg sprawled across me. I tried to move and he moaned. "What time is it?"
"A little after six."
"Shit I need to get back and shower before lessons. He pulled himself up and looked at me. "I'm sorry I overstayed my welcome. I hadn't realized I had fallen asleep."
I smiled politely. "It's okay."
He smiled and slid off the bed, sliding his feet into his boots. He leaned forward and kissed my forehead. "I'll meet you at lunch, okay?"
"Okay."
He smiled and walked out of the room, closing the door. The bang alerted the other two sleeping beauties. "Wha... Where's the fire?"
I laughed. "It was just Able, he was leaving."
"Shit what time is it?" Jazz asked.
I laughed. "Half six."
"At night?"
"No morning."
"Shit I need to go. I've got shit to sort out before lessons begin." She said, jumping off of the bed, putting her trainers on, and she looked at both of us. "I'll see you both at lunch, you're going to be okay, right?"
"We'll be fine. Stop fussing, Jazz."
They hugged and she smiled at me. "Are you sure you're going to be okay after, you know?"
"I'll be fine."
She hugged me, then looked at me again. "Are you sure?"
"Promise."
She nodded and left, closing the door. "We should really get ready Carly, we have to eat before lessons."
I nodded. "I was actually getting up to use the bathroom unaware we still had guests."
She giggled. "Yeah, I guess we were all tired. Go ahead."
I smiled. "Thanks."
"That's what friends are for."
Drake
I haven't seen Carly all morning or anyone else. For the matter of fact, the guys have been avoiding me like the plague since I blew up at them. I wasn't even sure if Able had been back to the frat house or his room until I heard him and Colt arguing, and he slammed his bedroom door, muttering hypocrite under his breath. And asshole. His music boomed loud and heavy, so he hadn't been home until now, so where the hell had he been? I wasn't concerned about that at the time. My main concern was finding Carly. Was she hiding?
I finally saw her before she entered the refectory. "Hey Carly! Wait up!"
Her head turned, she looked at me and looked back, continuing to walk away. Was she ignoring me? Had they told her what happened at the party? Would they even dare?
If Able or Jazz were with her, they would, Star I'm not sure about. I needed to talk to her and explain what happened if they had.
I jogged up to her, stopping her. "Are you trying to avoid me, Carly?"
She shot daggers at me. "Well, clearly, it's not working."
"What's wrong, I thought we were friends?"
"Well, you thought wrong."
"Come on Carly, I haven't seen you since the party. I wanted to see how you were?"
She scoffed. "You really think I believe that bullshit?"
"It's the truth."
"Well, you see, Drake, I don't believe you."
"I'm telling you the truth Carly."
"If it's the truth, you would've come to my dorm and seen for yourself how I really was."
"I was angry. Okay, I didn't want to be mad at you."
"Whatever Drake, I'm not interested."
"I want us to be friends, Carly."
"Well, news flash. I don't want to be yours after the shit you pulled at the party."
"I didn't pull anything at the party."
"Don't act like you're dumb and don't make me look dumb either, Drake. I know exactly what happened at the party."
My face paled. "I'm sorry."
"No you're not. You got the guy at the bar to drug my drink or was it drinks? Then you made sure I never left your side to go back to Star, so you could have your way with me! Let me know if any of it sounds wrong in any way."
I stood saying nothing. She was half right. I hadn't agreed to give her the drugs I had told them not to, but at this point, she would never believe me.
"You got me in the mood by trying to seduce me whilst dancing with me, kissing me, then you tried to take me to your room but were stopped. You wanted me to make a spectacle of me and post it over the student forum, so I would feel like a slut because I let you fuck me, and it would circulate all around the uni and I would be so distraught it would make me leave. Am I right or am I wrong?"
I looked down. "I'm sorry Carly."
"How could you? I thought you were different."
"I am. I liked you and I wanted you. I had no idea they were going to put the cameras in my room. I told them not to."
"How noble of you. But, it still doesn't change the fact you were going to drug me and fuck me, that's rape Drake."
"I know I'm sorry."
"No sorries will fix this, Drake. I thought you were different from all the guys I knew, but you're no different."
"I am. I promise."
She shakes her head, tears in her eyes. "You're wrong, you're just like all the other guys I know."
I wanted to tell her I wasn't, but before I had a chance to open my mouth, an arm dropped over her shoulder. "Are you okay Carly?"
We both looked up at the newcomer. I was surprised when I saw it was Able. She looked at him and smiled. "I'm fine. Drake was just leaving. Wasn't you?"
"Urm yeah."
He smiles and I walk away. I look back to see them talking. "So you were with her yesterday?"
"Not just me, but yeah, look at me as her guardian Angel." He smirks and pulls her away. "Oh, I wouldn't go near Jazz for a while for what it's worth. She's still pissed at you."
I nodded.
Noted.
