POV Brianna
I sat up in my bed shaking. I shivered from head to toe. My body glistened with sweat and tears filled my eyes. Sobs escaped my body and a lump filled my throat. I couldn't breathe. Rocky ran to my bedside and gathered me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he placed his hands on my hips. I pushed my head against his chest and sobbed. They were ugly sobs, but Rocky didn't mind. He just rocked me back and forth singing lightly. His voice was so sweet it could always calm me down.
"Freshman year I saw your face"
"Now it's graduation day....."
I reduced my sobs to a few tears and looked up into Rocky's eyes. His brown eyes sad with concern. He used his thumb and softly brushed the remaining tears away. I was so confused. What happened? Why was Rocky here? I had about a million questions that would have to remain unanswered, as I fell asleep.
In Rocky's arms.
POV Ragan
It was 12:34 am. I unlocked the door to the house Brianna and I rented together. The door creaked behind me as it closed. I flipped the lights on to reveal a cleaned house. Brianna was a good roommate. She liked to keep the house clean, but throw parties too! The floor shined below my feet. The wood had been freshly polished and smelled of citrus. I would have to thank Brianna later, because she had spent the night with Rocky.
I stumbled up the stairs struggling to stay awake. I ran through the shower rinsing the sand and ocean water off me. I wrapped a towel around me and walked to my room at the end of the hall. I slipped into sweatpants and a tanktop before pulling the covers over me. I flipped the lights off and fell asleep when my head hit the pillow.
POV Brianna
When I woke, the clock read 10:04. I sat up and dizziness took over my body. I steadied myself before standing up. My head throbbed and pounded in my ears. I looked around. I knew where I was. The lynches house. I walked out of the room and down the stairs to find Ryland, Rydel, and Rocky sitting around the kitchen table.
"Morning babe" Rocky said. He walked up and pressed his lips to mine.
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked.
"Course."
We walked into the living room out of earshot of Rydel and Ryland.
"What happened last night?" I asked rubbing my temples.
"Well....."
Uh oh.
"Someone spiked your drink at the beach last night." He answered blankly.
"We were at the beach?"
"Yah. You, me, Ross, and Ragan."
"Ok, so then what happened?"
"You partied and passed out."
"That's it?"
"Pretty much."
"Ok, I guess it could have been worse." I shrugged.
Rocky didn't say anything, just stared blankly at the ground.
"What happened last night though?" I asked softly.
"What do you...what do you mean?" Rocky stuttered.
I remembered. Waking up in a pool of sweat and tears. Rocky embracing me and being there for me. Singing me back to sleep with his soft voice.
"I remember.....waking up in tears." I stared at the ground.
Rocky sighed and nodded. "I didn't want to remind you of it."
Too bad. My body trembled all over as I remembered the dream. I broke back into tears as Rocky held me again. Replaying last night's events.
I calmed myself down and pulled away from Rocky.
"Babe.....can you tell me what happened? You don't need to cry, I'll protect you. Your safe." Rocky pleaded.
I nodded slightly.
"Here's what happened."
