Dissipated

Trigger warning// heavy topics about r*pe/sexual assault; victim blaming; panic attacks

A few weeks before summer break ended, a couple of seniors from Meadows Charter High School hosted a party to celebrate their graduation. Though Athalia and her friends were sophomores at the time, they decided they wanted to go as well. It's just a party and they deserve to have fun once in a while right? True, but Athalia wishes she never went.

School starts and Athalia meets a new friend; all of her old friends left her because of what happened at the party. A rumor was spread about her that her new friend doesn't know about. Athalia tries her best to avoid the two people who caused her this pain.

Athalia's new friend finds out what happened after Athalia's panic attack. What does Athalia's friend think of the whole thing? Will she abandon Athalia too?

This is story inspired by a book I wrote for a class a couple years ago, which was based on some personal experiences from myself and other people (I have their permission to publish their story, as long as their names aren't in it). This is a much shorter version that I wrote for another class, my friend said I should publish it on here so that she could read it whenever she wanted. Might as well let others read it too. Clearly it's rushed but I will be writing an extended version with slower updates. It was originally written on a google doc so that's why the chapters are a little awkward but still. Hope you enjoy!
