"See! You did great, (Y/n)!"

"T-thank you, Thalassa, but it was still nerve-wracking," I replied, as the two of us were walking backstage after my first performance as part of the troupe.

"Nerves are natural, but now you know you can do it. Anyway, as promised, I will treat you to dinner to celebrate!"

"I already said you didn't need to do that..."

"It's a statement. I'm not asking if you want it, I'm stating that I'm going to. You have no choice in the matter."

I sighed and nodded knowing I wasn't going to be able to get out of it, causing Thalassa to smile, "Great! Let's go and get changed first though, yea?"

"Good idea."

However before we could continue our walk to our dressing rooms, I heard my name and I turned around to see Zak, also still in his stage outfit, "Can I talk to you?" he asked, looking away. I nodded and turned to Thalassa, "I'll catch you up. You owe me a dinner, not going to forget that!"

Thalassa gave me a muttered response before making her way back to her dressing room and I turned my attention back to Zak, but before I could ask what he wanted, he'd pinned me against the wall, "Why go out for dinner, when I can give you more pleasure?" he asked, placing a hand on my hip, and leaning into my ear. My heart rate started to increase, not wanting a repeat of what had happened a few years ago, but I froze up. When Zak's hand went lower, resting on my thigh, I snapped and punched him in the face, "The Hell are you doing?!" I shouted, trying to get my heartbeat to return to normal.

"I'm serious, (Y/n). You're hot."

I just turned away from him, leaving him to bring a hand to his face, and ran off, accidentally bumping into Valant in the process, my face hitting his chest due to our height difference, "Whoa, why are you in a hurry?"

"Sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going!" I squeaked, trying to avoid eye contact so he wouldn't be able to see I'd been crying, as well as my red face due to my crush on him.

"I wasn't looking either, (Y/n). I'm sorry too."

I gave him a slight nod before continuing to run off, unclipping my cape in the process as I finally made it back to my dressing room, where I shut the door and slid down it, sobbing, as the memories of just five years ago came flooding back.

"Are you looking for a good time, hot stuff?"

"P-please leave me alone..." I muttered, trying to get past the drunk guys, so I could just get home and sleep.

"We can give you a good time," the second guy said, his gaze drifting to my chest.

"No thank you," I quickly spoke, continuing my walk down to pavement. That's when I felt them grab my arm and I was dragged into an alleyway. Before I comprehended it, they'd ripped my clothes off and one of them was holding me in place whilst the other undid his trousers...
