The week was over and Ryan had called us three to a bar. He said college was making us total nerds. It was true though. Stefan and I studied for 6 hours minimum in a day with exams coming up and all that. Well sometimes we studied more but usually our study sessions ended with something else.
"Kiera, babe, are you ready? Stefan asked. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt and well if we didn't get out of the house faster, the t-shirt probably wouldn't stay on longer.
"Let's go baby," I said walking down the stairs.
We drove to the bar. He held my hand and drove with one hand. He always did that. Even though I told him he should concentrate on driving completely, I loved it secretly.
We got out of the car and I saw Britney.
She hugged me. Ryan was right behind her.
"Hey," he said and hugged me. There was something different about his hug. This was the first time it felt like we were only friends. He had probably accepted that I would be with Stefan for a long time. Hopefully, forever because honestly I couldn't imagine my life without him.
We went in and sat at a corner table. The bar was slightly crowded. Stefan and Ryan went to order our drinks.
"Is that a ring?" Britney suddenly asked looking at my hand. I blushed.
"Yeah, it's a promise ring," I told her and she smiled at me.
"I'm happy for you guys," she said and it seemed like she had deflated a bit. She looked really glad about it. She was probably really happy for me. Stefan came back before I could ask her about it.
We started slowly but then we were all drinking and ordering more. College really had us all stressed. That's when some people of our college entered the bar. When they saw me, they started talking. I heard words like 'raped', 'molested' etc. I felt the bile rise in my throat. I tried to stay calm, to not let them affect me. And then I couldn't take it anymore and stood up. My friends stared at me.
"I need some air," I said and got out. As I left, tears formed in my eyes and ran down my cheeks.
"Kiera, wait," Stefan said and pulled me back by my hand.
"Honey, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"he asked me.
"Stefan, they were talking about me," I said and started sobbing.
He pulled me to his chest and held me there.
"Who were talking?" he asked.
"Those people from our college. They were talking about that incident," I told him.
"I'll see to it," he said in a cool tone which did sound more dangerous than his angry tone. I just kept crying.
"Baby, please don't cry," he whispered into my hair and I hugged him tighter.
"What's wrong with her?" Britney asked. She had come out to check what we were doing. Ryan was behind her. Stefan told them and right then those people came out. Britney walked to them and slapped the cheerleader girl. She was always the one to spread rumours. The cheerleader girl stared with shock in her eyes.
"Think twice before talking bullshit about my friend. Nothing happened to her that day so keep your shit to youself. Your words are as fake as your boobs," she said and walked off looking totally badass. I started laughing. Ryan and Stefan's mouths were hanging open.
"Seriously, boobs?" I asked as she joined us and we got into the car.
"Well, it did make you laugh," Britney said and smiled at me. Awwww. Where had I found such awesome people? I honestly didn't deserve them. They were the best.
