TW: this chapter does mention attempts of sexual assault. please do not read this chapter if you're sensitive to things like that. 

also, the title of this chapter does NOT relate to the situation y/n gets into, rather the situation with spencer. nothing about ANY assault of any kind is pleasurable. if you do choose not to read this chapter, a small summary will be in ch 8 without going into detail about what happened. thank you everyone for the support <3

AUTHORS NOTE: THIS CHAPTER AND NEW PROBLEM IS TERRIBLE, LMAO. LOTS OF PLOT HOLES AND BAD WRITING IM SORRY

you followed james farther and farther away from the group, occasionally looking back behind you at the people, seemingly getting smaller and smaller in the distance,

"hey, uh, james? where are we going?" you asked, stumbling after him. he looked behind his shoulder for a moment,

"it's a pretty spot. just a little farther, come on." he said, grabbing your wrists and dragging you along. you pulled out of his grasp, receiving a look from him. a flash of anger spread across his face. you hugged yourself, continuing to follow him with your head low.

'hell no.' spencer thought as he saw you walk away. he shook his head and set his drink down in the sand, following you and james from afar down the beach.

james led you to a secluded area with palm trees. it was dark and you couldn't really see anything, besides the faint silhouettes of the palm trees surrounding you. you looked around, 

"what's this plac-" you were interrupted by a hand flying over your mouth and an arm wrapping around you. you screamed into the hand and kicked out as james tried running his hand down your body, your legs flailed out as tears came to your eyes and you felt suffocated. 

your chest rose and sank through his grip, your entire body convulsing in an attempt to get away from the monster holding onto you. 

the salty tears ran down your cheek and you felt a sudden drop as you fell to the floor, the wind nearly getting knocked out of you. a few struggled grunts and a few yelps of "I didn't do anything!" sounded through the air, before a few familiar voices felt muffled in the back of your head, but you could make out a few brief words of 'you're under arrest'.

you sobbed and crawled away, getting to your feet to run, but stopped by a hand on your shoulder. you spun on your heels, clawing the hand off of yourself, 

"GET OFF OF ME!" you sobbed, then soon recognized the face infront of you. it was spencer. 

which did cause you to sob harder,

"what are you doing here? just to ignore me more?" you cried, finally finding your footing on the sand. your vision was blurry and your adrenaline was at a high,

"y/n, no-" he started, but you interrupted,

"why have you been shutting me out?! yea, i fucked up, b-but i need you!" you sobbed out, your voice cracking. you nearly fell again, but spencer quickly lunged forward and caught you, holding onto your arms. you looked up at him, not even thinking about how vulnerable you might look. 

he took in a deep breath, your hearts both pounding in your chests. he pulled you closed to his chest in a warm embrace.

 you didn't object, resting your head against his chest and wrapping your arms around him as you sobbed into his shirt. spencer rested his chin on the top of your head, closing his eyes.

god, this hurt so good.
