I was awaken by the sound of yelling and broken glass. I groaned and reached for my phone. It illuminated my face as I read the time, 4:07. Why the hell am I awake?

Oh that's right, my brothers drunken friends he decides to let stay with us. Let me shed some light on the situation.

My mom is an executive for an independent book company, so she's hardly ever around. Most of the time she's traveling or working her ass off in the office. Then there's my father. He's a major CEO for some company I don't even care to remember the name for. As you can guess, he's rarely home.

Then there's me, Claire. And my idiot of a brother Sam. Since we live in such a big home by ourselves, with no supervision, he doesn't come home until around this hour. Every night he comes home with his stampede of horny, drunk, sweaty friends.

Me and Sam are both sophomores, but you would never be able to tell looking at our maturity difference. I actually try to succeed in school so I can get out of this small town in the middle of nowhere. Unlike Sam, who party's every night, pisses off the teachers on a daily, and sleeps with any girl he desires.

He's a reckless idiot and sooner or later it'll catch up to him. I mean I'm making him out to be pretty bad. Which is not an incorrect statement, however, he treats me with respect and he's always there for me so I don't have much to complain about.


I rub my eyes and throw on a Harvard sweatshirt (of course where my father attended) and some black nike pros. I put on my glasses throw my hair in a bun and start to walk towards my door.

"BRO WHAT THE FUCK!" I hear a familiar voice yell. I debate on walking out there but I think eh what the hell and open the door. The hallways is dark and cold against my bare feet as I make my way to the screaming.

"Chill chill chill. First off, Johnson you know I wouldn't do that and second Sam you really think I would have the audacity to do that to her in her own house?" This sounds juicy.

I tip toe and look around the corner making sure the coast is clear then I look down the stairs to see the three guys screaming at eachother.

"Okay well no offense or anything Gilinsk, but you don't exactly have a clean reputation with girls. I wouldn't be surprised if it was you. I mean I know shit like this happens all the time, but it was Ashley Henderson. You know she's the but guest richest girl in town and she'll gladly fuck over anyone yet again somebody who raped her? Their life would be done. Tell me now so I know who I'm fucking sticking up for. Don't you dare lie to us." I hear Sam say.

Johnson chimes in, "You know we're here for you either way just admit it if anything happend." I see Gilinsky get a look in his eye as if he's about to kill a man. "You guys are un-fucking-believable. Don't you know me well enough to know I would never fucking rape a girl? If I wanted a girl I'd have her I wouldn't have to force shit." He says with dark eyes.

I get so into the fight I trip and make a noise. All three heads turn to me. "What the fuck are you doing Claire go to bed." Sam says hands massaging his temples.

"I uh got hungry sorry didn't mean to interrupt anything." I say. Johnson shoots me a slight smile while Gilinsky shakes his head. "Whatever guys I'm crashing in the basement." he says while walking away.

I can't help but to think, damn as scary as he is, there's something about him that just draws me in.
