His Girl -Justin Foley. 13RW

XXI

The game has been going on for a while now, and many people were going from slightly tipsy to almost completely drunk. They had stopped taking sips of beer and started bringing out the real booze, which made me sigh nervously when I realized neither Justin or me could drive home.

"Never have I ever had sex with someone while being drunk" That question made me tense up a little, because while it could be interpreted innocently, it could also be a very wrong thing to do. Justin and I looked at each other before taking a drink, since we had done it. But... together, and consciously.

I froze when I saw Bryce take a sip, and it made me feel even more nervous when his eyes stared into mine, almost mockingly. I turned to glance at Jessica, and swallowed harshly when I saw her looking down at her cup distractedly. "Jessica?" The same guy who had asked the last question directed towards her, and I turned curiously to them, wanting to know what he was going to say. "Its your turn" He said, smiling lightly at her. She nodded, like she had just come back from a trance and then glanced all around the circle. Her eyes met mine and she seemed to want to say something, but I just- I couldn't guess what it was.

"Never have I ever had sex with someone who was pissed drunk" She spoke up, making me cringe before I shared a worried glance with Justin. Bryce then took a drink, and a couple of guys followed his lead, making me sick to the stomach if I even thought about it.

"Come on guys, half of you are lying if you are trying to make us believe you have never had sex with someone who was drunk. Doesn't say about you, you could or could not have been, but you are seriously bullshitting if you say you never have" Bryce spoke up, his voice slurring a little bit. "Like you, Justin" I bit my lip and looked down, avoiding Justin's eyes.

"We weren't pissed drunk Bryce. Thats a whole other story" Justin spat, before his hand reached over to me and held mine, making me smile a little bit.

"Okay, then, Jessica, what exactly were you implying?" Bryce asked, raising an eyebrow at the curly haired girl sitting beside me. "Come on, its nothing serious, we are just having fun here"

"I-I was, I m-meant-" Her voice was shaky and when gasped softly I looked up at her, letting go of Justin to hold her hand.

"Jess. Breathe, come on" I said softly, rubbing her back. "You are okay" I was aware of the dozens of eyes on her, so I stood up and made her stand up with me before I pulled her away from there.

"Gracie I remember" She spoke up when we reached a corridor beside the kitchen, which was empty. Her words made me freeze, and my head snapped up to look at her.

"W-what exactly?" I asked softly, leaning on the wall beside her.

"Bryce... he was, he was on top of me. He whispered 'we are just having fun' as I struggled to get him off me" The tears were streaming down her cheeks, and I felt tears welling up in my eyes too. Thats why she remembered, what Bryce said was a trigger.

"Shit... Jess" I sniffled, hugging her softly from her side.

"He wouldn't get off" She whispered weakly. "And I-I can still feel him. Everywhere" She broke down and started crying, making me look around, not knowing what to do.

"Jess?" I asked shakily, sitting on my knees beside her. "S-should I call your dad?" Her eyes snapped up and she shook her head, taking my hand in hers.
