Trigger Warning- Rape

**********

It was windy up on the arts building roof. It wasn't cold though. It was kind of hot.

George was standing at the edge of the roof looking down at the rest of the campus. I walk towards him.

"George," I call out.

He turns around and smiles happily. "Alex!" He takes a step towards me and I walk back.

"Oh, Alex. My dearest, Alexander (with a comma after dearest), don't don't be afraid of me."

"I'm not afraid of you. I'm mad at you. You tried to tell John I was cheating on him."

"I was hoping to get him out of the way without harming him. Where is he anyway?"

"Not here."

"I told you to bring him, Alexander!"

"I convinced him to stay in the dorm."

"I'm not interested in having this conversation if he's not here. I never talk about someone when they aren't present."

*****

Laf and Herc invite me out drinking since Alex has to work tonight. We're slightly underage but the people who work there just don't care anymore.

After three drinks each, the vampire bartender brings us a a tray of six shots. "I created this the other day and you guys come here often enough I figure if you die you won't try to sue us."

"We would never sue you, Melvin. We love you too much," Laf says.

"Melvin would be a good name for a Trombone," I mutter.

Melvin laughs and walks back to the bar.

Herc turns to me. "John, drink four of these shots and I'll give you a hundred dollars."

"Make it two hundred and I'll drink all of them."

"Done." He pulls out the money and lays it on the table.

I pick up one of the shots and tilt my head back, pouring the contents into my mouth.

***

I grab the money from the table and stuff it into my pocket. "Fight me, Herc."

"No thanks buddy," he says. "I have a test tomorrow so I should probably be going for the night."

"I should be too, I'll go with you," Laf says jumping up. He grabs my phone and texts someone.

He passes it back to me. "I texted Alexander, he'll be here to pick you up in half an hour. Stay."

I nod. They both leave and I sit there alone at the table.

I stand up to go outside. I open the door and step into the cool air.

Someone moves to stand next to me. "Hey there, beautiful."

I turn to look at them. "George?"

He smiles at me. "I can't believe I was so blind. You are way cuter than Alexander, and nicer too."

"I'm not going to forgive you just because you spoil me with compliments."

"And I'm not asking you to. I just want to talk. I'll call Alex and tell him I took you back to the dorms."

"What's the catch? Are you going to try to murder me?"

"John, the only reason I would murder you would be if I needed the blood of a virgin for a satanic sacrifice."
