The bathroom floor was cold, much colder than the water pouring over my head from the overhead shower. It was supposed to be calming, soothing even yet all I felt was restlessness and agony. My body felt numb from the cold.

I was close to being raped.

I was that close to being raped.

What if I was raped?

Would I be able to face myself?

I probably won't be able to. It was my fault after all. I didn't see Ace for who he was. I believed that he actually liked me. Despite his notorious playboy reputation, I believed his every word.

And mom and dad? What about them? What will I tell them? How will I face my parents?

I always made them proud. They gave me freedom, trusted me to differentiate between right and wrong and loved me endlessly. How do I face them with this?

How will I tell them what had occurred?

Will I even tell them?

And how do I tell the girls about this? That I was so stupid that I almost got myself drugged.

And then there was Kirun. The guy who liked me and I chose Ace over him. I rejected him yet he was there, ensuring that I was safe.

It was too much for me. I wrapped my arms around myself and placed my head over the bent knees, closing my eyes.

Please let this day be a dream.

Except it was not. It seriously was not.

I looked up from my position and picked up my phone. I dialed Kirun's number and waited for him to answer.

"Hello"

"Thank You" I whispered, closing my eyes.

"Oh Hey-" I hung up. I was in no state to talk to anyone. He tried calling again, I rejected his calls. When I had had enough, I switched it off and threw it into the laundry basket beside the door.

Silence at last.

The bathroom door banged loudly.

Spoke too soon.

What was up with people and disturbing me?! Let me sulk, damn it.

"Indah! Open the damned door!"

I made no move to open the door. Instead, I closed my eyes and let the cold water calm my heated body.

The bathroom door burst open and I heard voices. I was too drained to even look up from my place.

"Indah!"

Soon I was being hauled out of the bathroom and was thrown onto the warmth of my bed. I closed my eyes groaning. I felt warm hands over my head and winced. I don't need warmth!
